radiohead @ the amphitheatre

I woke up one Saturday morning with a hangover from the night before. I had to get up to log into my ticketmaster account online to try to get the best seats available. They were scheduled to play at the Ford Amphitheatre (Tampa, FL) which happened to be one week ago. As I logged in and payed with my credit card, they revealed that the only seats available were in the back! How could this happen? I was in at 10am, the minute they went on sale!

Regardless of the seats, Halimah and I were going to see Radiohead. After seeing Wu-Tang January 26, 2008, I had to fulfill my fix and see this amazing band with the possibility of this being my only opportunity. So the back seats to the side were going to do, and we’d appreciate them.

May 06 was a Tuesday and we arrived early. One of the most populated events I’ve been to in Tampa, the crowd was awesome, making the experience much more enjoyable than past events.

The visuals were so cool, these tall, thin tube lights that went with the music revealing live video of the individual band members in juxtaposed angles as they played their music to perfection. Song after song, every note and lyric rang through the amphiteatre as if we were listening to a new cd. No faults or imperfections. It was an amazing show. I will definitely see them again!

p.s. the Ford Amphitheatre has veggie burgers!!!
