We saw Radiohead last night @ the sold-out Frank Erwin Center show in Austin. The performance was great but our seats pretty much sucked, up and to the side of the stage. (Section 77, row 17) The movable "floating" monitors more often than not blocked our view of the band. And there were clearly a lot of people that had an even worse view!
I feel like many of us in the audience were sold tickets that should not have been sold to anyone. From where we sat it looked like the maximum "decent" viewing angle was not all that wide--could this stage set have been designed with outdoor amphitheaters in mind rather than arenas like this? That would be odd since it looks like there are a lot of arenas on their itinerary.
Positive note: the sound was much better than expected, all things considered. And the band played great. We just couldn't see them half the time.
