up close, dealing with crowds, and holding out to be in the thick of
things. But man, these porteños kicked my but tonight! The crowd was
so hot, smelly, and pushy, it made the rush-hour subway here seem
pleasant by comparison. After one song, I bailed to a spot where there
was room to take this picture, and halfway through the set I moved
back again so I could get some water and air. Radiohead put on a great
show, as always, and I enjoyed how into the music the crowd was. Not
only did they sing along to almost every song, but they sang soccer
chants between tunes as well. Now that is dedication! Anyway, even
though I am probably the only one who cares, setlist is included below:
15 Step
Airbag
There There
All I Need
Kid A
Karma Police
Nude
Weird Fishes
The National Anthem
The Gloaming
No Surprises
Pyramid Song
Street Spirit
Jigsaw Falling Into Place
Idioteque
Bodysnatchers
March 24 is a national holiday in Argentina - it is a day of
rememberance that commemorates the Military Government's rise to
power. Ed spoke to the crowd in Spanish (slow enough that I could
understand) letting them know that the band was aware of the
importance of the date 33 years ago, and that they joined the crowd in
remembering the citizens killed and totures during the era of military
control. Of course, given the history of the desaparecidos, I thought
the next song was a tacky choice.
