Matt,

Digital cameras can only do so much. In fact, SLRs weren't even allowed to the show, and I don't think I would've brought one if they were.

Having said that, it's more of a tool for documentation than photography. Radiohead being my favorite band, I like to have this more for memory than for any kind of expression of art. So, for the reader, it's more to get an idea of how the lighting worked and/or what to expect visually. Had I really tried to get the best shot possible, I wouldn't have been able to enjoy the show. Which brings me to my last point that these pictures took me cumulatively less than three minutes to take, and most were taken at low energy moments, thus they didn't take away from my enjoyment of the show. I just turned on the cam, took a shot, turned it off. Three minutes out of the entire two hours they played seems relatively reasonable.

Thanks for commenting.

Reading this reminded me of when I first heard Radiohead. Someone was playing "Creep" in the freshman dorm. They've really changed since those days. Either I'm old or they are...or both. That's cool that you were able to see them. I'd love to go to Lollapalooza, but we have this impending birth thing happening here. Have fun.

nice review and i'm looking forward to see them in summer but can you explain me why you're one of these guys that take pictures during the concert even if they're all blurry and not really worth looking at?
