I am still devastated by the unbelievable events on saturday. This would have been my very first Radiohead concert. I had been counting down the days for months. Following along everyday with the tour, watching footage and getting more and more excited. Saturday morning i was absolutely ecstatic with the thought that this time I would be apart of the audience. The tragic outcome of the day is so so painful. I will continue to offer my love and prayers for everyone affected, the entire Radiohead family. I hope I may still get the chance to experience the joy and beauty of seeing Radiohead perform one day.
Peace, healing thoughts, and love always.
You were someone's son. You may have been someones brother, uncle, husband, father or best friend. You were a co-worker to some very special people. You were very integral in the joy I received from the March 1, 2012 concert here in Atlanta. You were a member of the "Radiohead Family". I pray you were living your dream! I pray your friends and family rejoice that you were in their lives. I thank you for helping me and so many others enjoy the gift of music from the bands who had the honor and privilege to work with you. Peace to you and yours.
I just got back from the complete nightmare that was the Radiohead show in Toronto. I witnessed the mess that occurred when we all realized that, not only had the show been cancelled, but that the stage had collapsed and that someone had died.
First off, rest in peace, Scott. His family and Radiohead have suffered the loss of a friend and great crew member. I hope that peace will come to them, too.
My friend and I got to Downsview Park at around 9am. They were numbering us in the order of our arrival so that entry would be fair. We were #122 and 123. Out of 44,000, that was pretty good. Obviously we were both very excited. After all, we had driven 8 hours to see this show! I saw Radiohead for the first time about a week and a half ago at Bonnaroo (amazing). It was my friend's first time. We waited for what seemed like forever (but really was 7 hours) before they started to line us up.
At around 4pm, some commotion started to go through the crowd. We were standing next to some smart-phone wielding Canadians. Twitter was reporting that the stage had collapsed. We hadn't heard anything destructive, so we assumed it was a minor issue; a pole had snapped. We were bracing for a delay and more waiting. Then word got out that three people were hurt. Then a picture came up. What we saw was shocking--the entirety of the roof of the stage had caved. I was trying to remain optimistic, but it was clearthat the damage was devastating, and not likely to be fixed in the near future. Those stages are set up days in advance. Still, we stayed in line in hopes that everything would work out. Cancellation rumors were growing on social media.
Unfortunately, around 4:30pm, security started coming around and shouting "The show's been cancelled. Please go home." My friend and I stood completely frozen, mouths agape. This was the worst possible thing that could have happened. Our trip, which we had been anticipating for months, was now shot to shit. We weren't going to see Radiohead. Immense disappointment and frustration lingered. But mostly it was shock. I hugged a girl who was queuing in front of me and was sharing her phone for information. It was going to be her first Radiohead show. As we walked out, I saw so much disbelief and anger. One man dropped to his knees and wept. It was one of the clearest moments of realization of how much this band means to its fans.
We were back at our car, calling our friends and family to let them know that we were okay. It was during a phone conversation with my father that a fan had walked by and told us, "Someone died." I couldn't believe it. Again, a complete nightmare. While we were standing in excitement, someone had lost their life in the background.
We sat in the car for a little while, waiting for the crowds to dissipate. Tears were shed. We had put so much time and money into this experience, and were devastated at the loss of it. But I was even more upset that this was the way that it happened. It would be one thing if Thom had lost his voice or if their tour bus had broken down somewhere. Destruction and death ruined this show instead. It was all just so, so unbelievably sad.
On our way home, we realized something sobering: we were at the front of the line, and were going to be in one of the first groups to be let onto the field. If we had been let in, we would have been under that rubble. We could be the ones still in the Toronto hospital. We could be dead. So could anyone else on the crew, or Caribou, or Radiohead. We were very fortunate that there was not more devastation than there already was. At that point I was counting my lucky stars.
I guess we're a very sad part of Radiohead history. Hopefully they'll be able to pull through as a team and continue on the stellar tour that they've been putting on up to this point.
All my love and prayers for the Radiohead family. I couldn't believe this tragedy as I arrived at the park on saturday. I feel truly sorry, shocked and devastated. Wishing you strength and peace through this tough time. Bless you all. xo

Thanks!
So sorry about the stage Collapsing in Toronto. I know the guys feel really awful. The stage must of not been built strong enough.
I wish no one died.
I hope the guys keep in mind this isn't their fault. Their crew is paid well to build their stage properly.

We have all been shattered by the loss of Scott Johnson, our friend and colleague. He was a lovely man, always positive, supportive and funny; a highly skilled and valued member of our great road crew. We will miss him very much. Our thoughts and love are with Scott's family and all those close to him.

OKC ERA
OK Computer Premiere Barcelona
Zeleste, 22 y 24 May 1997 (live report)
Fuente Indyrock
El concierto del sábado fue total y absolutamente
INCREIBLE, orgásmico
Ok. Computer» el tercer álbum de Radiohead, (…) presentado mundialmente en dos conciertos celebrados en la sala Zeleste de Barcelona. Una Premiere mundial con la presencia de más de 500 periodistas de los medios musicales más prestigiosos del mundo. Dos conciertos en los que el grupo demostró haber llegado a una mayoría de edad que han reconocido sus críticos más feroces..
Thom Yorke, Colin y Jon Greenwood (abusive, por el particular sonido que extrae a sus guitarras Telecaster), Phil Selway y De O'Brien aparecieron tímidos en el escenario de la Zeleste, pero los primeros acordes de «Lucky», descubrían a unos Radiohead más duros y, sobre todo, más acoplados en la instrumentación. Conscientes de que los ojos y los oídos de muchos críticos esperaban creatividad y evolución musical en un grupo que había tardado casi dos años en volver a los escenarios con nuevos temas, Radiohead no defraudó.
Con una puesta en escena simple, sin la parafernalia de los vídeos, los grandes escenarios y decenas de miles de vatios, en una sala pequeña, Radiohead convenció únicamente con su música. Tachados de «blanditos» por algunos sectores de la crítica musical, rompieron con esa imagen a base de electrizantes distorsiones de guitarra y una sección rítmica (Phil y Colin) impecable. Jon Greewood, en la premiere de Ok. Computer, compaginó la guitarra con su faceta de músico de conservatorio con los teclados y de percusionista con el xilófono, en una deliciosa y desgarradora canción de cuna incluida en el nuevo disco. Todo esto unido a la voz rasgada de Yorke y la elegancia musical y personal de Ed O'Brien, la educación británica personificada (…)
