Well here goes another blog post! It's been way too long.
For the first time, I followed Radiohead a bit on tour - seeing them more than just once or twice. I saw them 6 times this North American leg. Also, I don't think I wrote on here last year, but I also saw them at Coachella (weekend one) 2017! Yea the sound sucked, and got a bit dehydrated because I wasn't used to desert heat - it was still a great show.
2018 positivity!
MSG night 2, 3, 4
Pittsburgh
Philly night 1 and 2
What a great year to be spoiled by having a Radiohead tour in my area. It was much needed. I made so many great friends this time around. The best moment was a group of us were singing Radiohead songs at The Pennsy after MSG night 4! Even strangers were just joining in, it was marvelous. Then it started to rain and it made everything so much more special. This was my favorite moment spent with my Radiohead friends.
My favorite trip was going out to Pittsburgh, I've never been before. What a beautiful city. Reminded me so much of Italy, houses in the mountains. The city was nice and spread out, so I felt like I can breathe and still feel part of something big. Made amazing friends there, and got Ed side rail - a dream. That was my favorite trip.
Philly were my "hometown" / just-nearby-where-I-currently-live shows. Night 1 was full of anxiety as I saw a whole line of WASTE GA ticket holders bypass me even though I waited all day. I was saved by one of my Radiohead friends who found me on the GA floor, and I still had a great spot. Night 2 I had WASTE tickets and lucked out much better. Thom rail that night! I also slept overnight from being at Night 1, so that is something I've definitely not done before. Another great experience with friends I've met over the years and new friends.
My favorite songs played this tour were A Wolf at the Door and The Daily Mail. Seeing Spectre live was also a huge treat. I had so much fun this year, and I'm so fortunate to have these experiences. Thanks Radiohead, xoxoxoxo.
