i'm gonna go see them live this Summer in Budapest, Hungary...will be a blast I guess. Been a fan of theirs for like 10 years now.

300 bucks is more than enough tho.

I have seen 'm three times and should urge you: go and spend the money,
they're well worth it (if you don't have to beg for food for the rest of the year).

Hell yes it's worth it. They mix up their setlists every show. And the new songs for the most part are fucking ace.

SuchFriendsAreDangerous 05.18.2006 01:40 PM

to answer yr question, yes.

SuchFriendsAreDangerous 05.18.2006 01:44 PM

and damn my pot smoking memory to have been on point about getting tickets for the LA show. I just found out about this all right now, cuz I haven't checked up on Radiohead since February. damn it. if I was selling coke and had three hundred bucks to burn then I'd definately be going as well.

I feel no band is worth paying 300 bucks for. Especially to pay some scalper on ebay who got the tickets for 40 bucks a piece. I tried to get tickets for the radiohead shows and failed, but there will always be other chances. Just go to chicago for the weekend, see a show at the metro/empty bottle/scubas, take in a cubs game, get a steak at gibsons, enjoy millenium park, etc.

I did see them in chicago at grant park and they were stellar. The auditorium is also amazing. Not only a Louis Sullivan classic design but it sounds great too. I saw Wilco there a couple of years ago.

Go, your ahving fun doing other things as well. Think of it as a long weekend holiday. Just do it, man.

SuchFriendsAreDangerous 05.18.2006 09:23 PM

being even more a stoner, I just found out the public sale goes on Wednesday 5/24. I dont even want to pay the 40 bucks!

Meh. You didn't realize that I was just paying 80 for tickets both nights and the rest was on expenses and gas and hotels and junk.

i thought you meant 300 for the shows, but for 300 the whole trip id say go. take pictures, record, sightsee and have fun.

40 dollars is kinda high, but if they are your favorite band id go for it.

noisemachine 05.18.2006 10:09 PM

Do it. They are amazing live. I saw them in 2004 and they played an awesome set. Just got tickets to see them in Berkeley in June!

SuchFriendsAreDangerous 05.19.2006 01:28 AM

i'll be crossing my fingers to get some at the public sale. i'm sure they'll be sold out in less then five minutes since I saw a set of six going for 1000 bucks on ebay! and it isn't even technically sold out yet!

darthblav 05.19.2006 02:43 PM

well then if you have the tickets already, i would say it is a go. i thought you were going to pay 300 for tickets alone, which is happening all of ebay right now.

travelzoo always has chicago hotels with huge deals(100 for 4 stars), plus on priceline i have gotten sweet chicago deals (like 90 for 4 stars), plus I believe the allegro which is right by the theatre you can get for like 120 a night with no special deal necessary and it is pretty nice.

hope that helps. i am jealous because i really wanted to go to that show.

h8kurdt 05.20.2006 12:16 PM

Tout's I fucking hate tout's. They should make all tickets id only.
