Bearman is feeling very old…it's one of those moments where I am content with the memory of seeing Radiohead at the Black Cat in 1995 on the Bends tour, when it wasn't even sold out. On a Saturday night. With David Gray opening. Yes, you've all heard that story many times before, but the point of it this time is that this is one of those moments where I've seen a band I really like enough times that I don't feel like it's the end of the world if I miss them this time around. Anyone else have similar experiences with other bands? It really has more to do with logistics, venue, etc. than being "over" the band. It's just the thought of having enjoyed the other experiences so much that I think that there's not much of a way to top them.

No way, dude. Live in the moment. I've seen the Strokes thirteen times.

The show you saw @ the Black Cat AND the band you saw that night are hardly even comparable to what they are in '08. I caught the OK Computer tour @ a tiny club just before it broke big.

My preference?: I'll take the latest incarnation any day.

I'd agree. But not in a positive way…

"Hipster" is such a great buzzword for anyone that doesn't agree with the overly-praising ravings of this board.

NO NEW MCCARTYISM!!!

Ha! Reverse psychology at work here.

Change the word BOARD to BAND (meaning RHead) above & I'd agree with your definition tho.

I got two GA and two seated. I'm a little shocked I was able to get any since I sat there watching it load forever.

They don't tell you. From the confirmation email:

"SEAT NUMBERS WILL NOT BE ALLOCATED UNTIL AFTER THE PRE-SALE HAS BEEN COMPLETED. WE WILL E-MAIL YOU, WITH YOUR SEAT NUMBERS, AS SOON AS WE CAN."
