My experience on my first Radiohead concert!

[Maureen]

I arrived at ten in the morning, and I found out that there was not that much people camping, it was a big lie that there were thousands!Let me tell you that because of my stupid nerves I was not able to have a decent breakfast and of course no decent meal, and I knew I’ll pay for that during the concert! Also I was not able to sleep more than three hours for three days!It was good that we arrived early (my brother and I), since we got to listen to the sound check! I heard some of the songs which they sang later during the concert, they rehearsed Climbing up the walls, but they didn’t play it! I guess they’ll play it tonight!When were finally inside, I started to feel VERY bad, I had nothing on my stomach and it was impossible for me to get something without meat! I thought that I was about to faint, but I didn’t allow myself! Nothing could have made me leave the concert, and I don’t know how the hell did I do it, but I was able to withstand!When Kraftwerk came out I felt as if I was in paradise’s antechamber! Honestly I thought that I was going to get bored with them, but it was much better than I expected! When they started to set everything for Radiohead, I saw Jonny’s telecaster and I almost had a heart attack!Minutes after I saw the band coming out! WOW! I had no idea of which was going to be my reaction and I started crying like a little girl!15 step started, I danced, jumped and moved my head like crazy, it surprised me so much that they played Airbag, unconsciously I didn’t want that song to be played, brings back bad memories, it made me cry since the beginning but I held the tears!I was almost in the first line in front of Ed! He and his hip movements are SO sexy! Colin as always cheerful, I saw very little of Phil, and Jonny is the master and lord of the guitar!Thom as nice as always, and so SEXY when he sang Nude! During Optimistic I felt (again) that I was about to faint but I kept moving so that I could stay on my feet! It felt as if they were saying: You can do it!Lucky me the next song was “Idioteque”, it was FUCKING AMAZING! But I think there was a lack of emotion from Thom and a little from the audience!Fake Plastic Trees, I begged to all gods for this song to be played and it was granted! My eyes were full of tears with the last lines “ If I could be who you wanted, all the time…”I knew they were going to play Videotape, that song always makes me cry and I was not able to held the tears this time, I cried and cried and cried, many gave this “poor girl” face, but I didn’t care at all!When “Everything in its right place” started, I felt as Cinderella when the clock let her know it was midnight! I really wanted to hear “How to disappear completely”, although it might have been good that I didn’t listen to it, because this song not only makes me cry, I don’t really know how to describe it but I fall into this big dark side and takes me a while to come back from it!When it finished I told my brother to lead me to the bar so that we could buy some water, and then I immersed myself to the sea of people that was at the place they were selling WASTE products.Now that I’m home, I want to cry and cry of joy, because I can’t believe that I was finally able to see Radiohead! And obviously it won’t be the last time!
