Every time I've seen Radiohead, I've always walked away going, "Damn, I wish they were playing again tomorrow nite because I'd totally go again." Well, my wish came true this past weekend. Radiohead played two nites at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley, and I had the amazing fortune of being able to attend both. If you find yourself reading this thinking, "Why would you want to see the same show two nites in a row?", then there's a good chance that you've never seen Radiohead live. The sound & light show, combined with the energy of the band & crowd, coupled with Radiohead's repertoire and the fact that they are one of the tightest live acts around right now all add up to one jaw-on-the-floor mindbending experience. Something I'm definitely down with checking out 2x in a row. The really killer thing was that, other than a few repeated tracks, the two shows this past weekend were almost completely different. More "mellow" by most accounts on Friday and "fly me to the moon" insane on Saturday. Good times. Damn good times.
