The Greek Theatre is small for an amphitheatre, but that's not saying much...any of the smaller L.A. venues with seats would be better, and obviously any general admission floor. I realize Radiohead could have played a much bigger venue, but it was much closer to a Hollywood Bowl type concert than an intimate show...obviously being in the pit would be a bit different.
Radiohead will probably never play a small venue again, certainly not one that I'd have the opportunity to attend... I saw them at Coachella a few years ago, and came back somewhat in awe. I had a lot of faith in them, which is why I went to see them in an environment I'd already decided I hated years ago. I'm glad you enjoyed it, but it's not something I ever really want to do again. Some people like to be able to sit down, talk with friends, eat food, and sing-a-long to their favorite song. It's a different atmosphere and feeling...something that wasn't right for me. I don't believe seeing an artist live is really about just listening to the music, or singing along to it. I've had more ethereal experiences in my bedroom listening to music than at these type of...events. I just don't think it's worth it.
