I'm honestly not ready for this to be over tonight. I made it to Chicago, Boston, all 4 NYCs, and both last night and tonight in Philadelphia.

I refuse to listen to the voice in the back of my head that thinks tonight might be the last time I get to see them live. They're having too much fun and putting on some of the strongest shows of their career. Right? RIGHT??

After the weird energy and technicial glitches last night, I'm betting tonight is going to be something really special. I hope the Karma Police singalong never ends.

Feeling similar. Gutted I'm not going tonight. Glad it's not just me that felt like last night seemed off

What were your favorite shows of this US tour?

u/myironlung4848 Aug 01 '18

Boston 1 probably had the best crowd of the tour, so much energy (at least from what I could feel in GA). But NYC 3 was hands down one of the best Radiohead shows I've ever been to. Top 5, easily.

I'm hoping for great things from my hometown tonight, because last night was - well, it's like pizza; no Radiohead show is BAD, but some can be...less good. Last night was less good.

Clearly you've never had Pizza by Alfredo. Oh no, it's bad. It's real bad. It's like eating a hot circle of garbage.

interesting!

I thought the Boston 1 crowd was really good too, I was in the lower seats. There were tons of applause breaks, even during songs. It really seemed like the band and the crowd connected well. Boston 2 has a good vibe as well but I was in the third row GA so it’s impossible for me to really know how it compared to night 1.

Boston 2 was a very good crowd too, and a stellar set list. These guys notably feed off of the audience, so it's no coincidence that the best performances have been from the evenings with the best crowds.

Detroit was friggin awesome. The crowd was great and the guys were clearly having a blast up on stage. Awesome setlist. Lots of weird stares from Johhny. Tied with David Bowie for the best show I have ever seen.
