I'm going to see radiohead live in Dublin this august. What are they like live? What do they normally finish their shows with?

Probably the best show I've seen in my entire life. Despite the technical problems during the opening song (The Gloaming), it was truly something to behold. The light show alone was worth every penny. Stephen Malkmus brought out Thom's guitar for Just during the first encore...SM and the Jicks were one of the opening acts, but it's a shame nobody knew who they were. The encore was 6 songs long...and they ended with "There There". The show I went to was especially awesome because every album except Pablo Honey got at least two songs....hmm, I don't know what else to say. If you have any questions, I'll try to answer them as best I can remember...

How did you possibly get them? I went on Ticketmaster the day they went on sale and my friend did the same at the exact time they went on and there were none left. Did you buy them in the presale?(Sorry if I come off a bit angry but I really really really really etc wanted to go to those shows)

Or unless your dad is friends with everybody in the state. 3 phone calls, 10 tickets .

Does anyone know what time tickets usually go on sale on the first day of availability on the radiohead site? because I'm not sure, and I couldn't find that info anywhere on the site? Anyways I need to be there as soon as their out, because the floor area sold out and I didn't get any and neither did my brother ugh. oh well...maybe ticketmaster will have some floor area tickets on saturday but I doubt it.

I am not going to lie; it is really hard to get tickets to their shows, Term. I went to see them the last time they toured the U.S. in the summer of 2006 and we got very lucky. Tickets went on sale to the general public on a Saturday at 10AM on Ticketmaster. I logged in at 8:00 and just kept refreshing the page until it was ready. At 10, I clicked and submitted and I was "in line" for 15 straight minutes, fingers crossed. Then we, luckily, got two tickets—it was general admission. I refreshed the page and tried to see how it was and by 10:30, everything was sold out. They are truly a band everyone wants to see live and it’s justified because no one compares to them live, no one.
Just try to be as prepared as you possibly can, good luck.

Yeah, you have to be lucky to get tickets. There are pre-sale tickets on ateaseweb.com , but they are gone as quick as they appear.
When I got tickets to the Cleveland show for the HTTT tour, they went on sale at 10 am and by 10:10 they were all gone, I think I got on Ticketmaster at 10:02 and got seats in the last row. I ended up hanging out in the general admission/field anyway, but it was great, even with the highest expectations.

hey typewriter, I think we were at the same show...Camden, NJ 2003 Hail to the Thief tour?? The Gloaming was the opener apparently in response to their first show after the New York City blackout ("The Gloaming" of course being about such an event according to Thom).
Also, I grabbed tickets for the 2000 Kid A/Amnesiac tour for the August 5th show at the Blossom Music Center near Akron about a month before the show. On my way to visit family in Michigan, i simply stopped at the venue and bam!, 2 tickets in the pavilion. You never know.
