Thunderstorm and moon in charlotte

[rocky]

Last night, Radiohead in North Carolina. Around both times when Liars and Radiohead were expected to come on stage by the crowd, a large thunderstorm rolled by to what seemed like the north of the amphitheatre. The thunderstorm was right off to the north, and during There There, the second song, there were a few streaks of lightning. During Nude a few songs later, the thunderstorm had moved to Northeast of the amphitheatre but from where I was seated it was visible to the left of the stage. The clouds flashed kind of an amber color several times during Nude which was, unspeakably awesome, given how weird and religious (sounds like a hymn) the song can be... and was...While the band was offstage I turned around and noticed that the crescent moon had become visible West of the amphitheatre by turning around and looking over the lawn. It was a honey-colored thing. Radiohead came back on stage to play the song Go Slowly, written with other In Rainbows songs but given the breathing room of the compilation disc that was sent to people who wished to have the complete set of main album and all other recorded songs.At the end of the song, which is quite mythic with Thom singing this very plaintive melody, the crescent moon began to be covered up by a cloud, and eventually cast the honey-colored light over the edge of the cloud.As the band played House of Cards, the crescent moon was back from behind a cloud but was hazy in appearance.It suited the song , it's just the kind of thing that makes outdoor concerts better than indoor ; )The best thing occured during Reckoner (the last song). The thunderstorm to the northeast was visible still. During this song the stormcloud flashed, far away from where we all were but still quite visible, as often as the lights in the amphitheatre. Just as during Nude, having lightning flashing all throughout the song was very unexpected and remarkable. During Reckoner a few actual bolts of lightning, cloud to cloud, were visible, one being during the part with "dedicated to all. human beings".
