I’m really late with this, but I’ve been away in the Carpathian mountains this weekend for some serious hiking and had no chance to see it, let alone post it. Anyway, last Thursday Radiohead played its last gig off their ginormous In Rainbows tour in Santa Barbara, CA. The band ended the tour with an epic finale, after subsequently Liars gave me an awesome performance, as well. Thom Yorke and co. played an astonishing
25 tracks long set, in which they played most of In Rainbows plus a lot of the band’s hits. Seeing how the band’s all modern, as far as tech goes, they also made a webcast on radiohead.tv of the whole show, so that any fan that had the misfortune to miss the gig, could watch the thing at ‘the comfort’ of his own home.
I dug up the interwebs a bit and compiled the best looking videos, in terms of sound and video quality, and have posted them bellow. Props to YouTube user picadk and Andy Bezbozhny for the videos.
