I never get these tickets, every fucking year same ol nonsense, it is becoming clear to be that it is not the Will of God that I attend such a show, for I began this very thread and every breath of my life in giving God the glory and all the praise, in saying by the grace of God, hence if it is not a success, it is not in God's grace, and eternity is more fullfilling then radiohead anyways, after all, most of you seem to think them terrible to begin with, though I cant for the life of me figure that one out...

As much as one can be a fan of any band, it is so not worth getting upset about missing them live. I've learned that the actual experience of seeing a band live vastly pales in comparison to seeing or hearing a recording of that live performance. I learned this lesson about the Stones in the 70s. For one thing, I could never get close enough to the stage to make out the band as any more than miniature stick figures. Two, the sound usually sucked because of the acoustics of the place. But then a recording, even a bootleg recording, of the same performance would sound tons better--often because it was run through the sound board.
Same goes with actually seeing the band. Photos in the magazines captured the drama or whatever much better than the eye.
I think it's great that bands tour, but as I said, unless they're playing a small and very accessible place, I prefer to experence their tours vicariously.
