Radiohead in Chula Vista
Filed Under Music Mix Up
Did seeing Radiohead live reach all my expectations and then some? Well… Radiohead delivered. Period. They are awesome and it was just solidified seeing them live. Radiohead is one of the most inventive and intelligent bands, the music they create has taken my breath away on more then one occasion; their music is a work of art.
The downfall was the venue and location of my seats… I had lawn seats, which wouldn’t have been that bad but this Cricket Ampitheatre had the WORSE big screens on each side of the stage you couldn’t see the band! I am little people! 5’2″ I couldn’t see shit… The reason I got stuck with lawn seats in Chula Vista (2 hours away) this time around was because when the tickets went on sale I was in the midst of having an on going debate with myself about whether or not I could afford them at the time because I was unemployed and BROKE so at the last minute right before they went on sale I knew I would regret it if I didn’t see them so I raced to my nearest Ticket Master and there were like 5-6 people in front of me… Sigh.
I still felt like it was worth it because they are such amazing band and I love them. From now on though no more doubting! Quite honestly front row tickets would be worth the price to see them live, they are just that good.

Front row seats… check…
Sounds like it was a great show ;)
i was in the same boat when i saw them in Camden, NJ. I waited until the last minute and decided to get them, ending up on the lawn. And man am I glad I went – incredible show!
Are you down for front row seats Pip? Next time.
Joe,
Yeah totally worth it, they seem to always put on incredible shows. :-)
Glad you enjoyed your Radiohead experience!!!
Worth the wait I hope. I shan’t bore you with how many times I’ve seen them, suffice to say, they have never put on a bad show and they are one of the few bands I would pay too much to see.
I agree… How do they do that? They are magical.
I was at this show and it was amazing! I sat on the lawn, which the view was disappointing, but I just closed my eyes and enjoyed the sounds. Best concert I’ve ever been to and my first time seeing Radiohead. Just saw Thom Yorke and friends at the Orpheum Theater in L.A. on Sunday night and that was equally as amazing!
