The Night Nurse: Radiohead at Thunderbird Stadium

So I finally got to see Radiohead for the very first time. Thom Yorke's voice sounded flawless and Johnny Greenwood threw in a rift from Stephen Malkmus' "It Kills" which was a pleasant surprise. The light show on stage was colorful and interesting and really complimented "In Rainbows." But since I am a perfectionist and critical bastard, I did have a couple of problems with the concert that were completely out of Radiohead's control (except for maybe the weather because my friends and I are convinced that Thom Yorke controls the weather and most of the world). First of all, it rained and poured and while that idea seems kind of romantic, it was just wet and gross and uncomfortable. Secondly, we had printed tickets and they didn't even scan them! So any low life could have gone and printed the same ticket over and over again and got in for free! This caused the space to be a little bit crowded and I had trouble seeing the stage. Also, I love Liars, and they rocked out as hard as they could, but I was disappointed because they couldn't fill the sound for that large of a venue. Despite these minor factors, the concert was unbelievable, and I officially will be seeing every Radiohead concert that comes up in the future.
