Karma Police

They are Eng­lish. They brought the weather with them.

I had always heard that attend­ing a Radio­head con­cert was a SM expe­ri­ence (Thom is well-known to tell the crowd to shut up, or be quite moody) but every­thing went well… but for the weather.

Radio­head was play­ing in Mon­treal and we drove the 400 km there and back to attend the show. By the time we got through the secu­rity, we were soaked. The park where the con­cert was held was extremely muddy — let’s just say I hadn’t been that dirty since I was 5 and loved to jump in pudles of water.

The show was great though. Over 40,000 peo­ple attended and the place was packed. Given the weather and the fact we waited for 4 hours for the show, we chose to stay at the back (no way we would have made it at the first row any­way) and enjoyed the view.

We even got fire­works. In the mid­dle of the con­cert, the casino nearby decided to have a long fire­works and Thom Yorke com­mented: “There’s always money for fire­works, the least they could do is put them at the fuck­ing end”.
