Radiohead and Manu Chao

Went to my first mega-huge concert yesterday. It was sick. Although I really like punk and most of its sub-genres, I still enjoy listening to other types of music such as Radiohead, Beck, and Manu Chao. Unfortunately, I was unable to see Beck because he was playing at the same time as Manu Chao and I must say I am a bigger fan of Manu Chao than Beck, but it was still disapointing. The concert was badass though. My sister and I got there hella early and moved up to the front. The barricade was about 80ft away from the stage and the stage was super high. It was weird to see something like that. It didn't feel right. You know? Anyway, we watched Steel Pulse which was cool, but I don't think I was in the mood for that. Too slow. And then Manu Chao came on. The crowd was crazy for him. He did an amazing set. He definitely as good, if not better, in person as he is on his album. My sister and I were pushed even closer to the front during his set because some asshole was being obnoxious and pushing everyone around. But, now my sister was one person away from being in the front. After Manu Chao's set, we waited 45 minutes to see Radiohead. There was this one lady who had to be pulled out of the crowd. I think she was overdosing because when I saw her, her lips were purple, her skin was pale, and her eyes were rolled back into her skull. It was sad because the whole time she was talking about how much she wanted to see Radiohead. And then, my sister stepped on some guy's ecstasy pill. HAHAHA! That was really funny actually. He told my sister jokingly that she owed him $20. She apologized and he told her it was ok because he just ate shrooms so he should be fine for Radiohead. HAHA! Then, people started fighting really hard to get to the front. I was one person away and really content with my spot despite the occasional sway from the tall guy in front of me. Radiohead was AMAZING. I love that band and seeing them live was even cooler. I will never forget the lights and Thom York dancing. HA! He is super short! Sometime in the begining of the set, the guy in front of me moved to the back of me and I snatched his spot. I was right in front! It was super cool. It was an amazing 2 hour set that just seemed to fly by! I love Radiohead and I want to see them again someday. Maybe next time they will play "Creep."
