Ever since YouTube has loosened their restrictions on videos that are over 10 minutes in lenght, you can find some damn good stuff if you know where to look.
For example, this is a full-length Radiohead show from their 2003 appearance at the Glastonbury festival touring behind ‘Hail to the Theif’. Just an amazing show.
Keep an eye on the crowd after the 4:38 mark. They go absolutely INSANE which sets the tone for the rest of the show.

That’s right! The band that blew the roof off at the Bird’s Nest last year is returning to the ‘Nest’ for the coveted Saturday night headline spot! O.A.R. will be performing February 27th at the 2010 WM Phoenix Open’s (Formerly the FBR Open) Bird’s Nest . The party starts at 3:30 PM (which is pretty much when the day’s festivities at the WM Phoenix Open are done) and doesn’t stop until late into the night!
For those of you who have been to the Bird’s Nest, I don’t need to tell you that it’s one HUGE, FUN party.
If you haven’t been to the Bird’s Nest or are undecided about going, going to the Bird’s Nest is a MUST on anyone’s social calendar. Add the music of O.A.R. into the mix, and you have the makings for one of the most memorable party experiences you’ll ever have.
I caught O.A.R. last year at the Bird’s Nest not knowing a thing about the band. The crowd at the Bird’s Nest got more and more into the music of O.A.R by their cheering, singing along to the songs and dancing. O.A.R. totally fed off of the crowd’s enthusiasm of their music. The atmosphere at the Bird’s Nest that night was already in party mode. However, once the music of O.A.R. began, it was like watching gasoline being added to a fire…in a good way. The music and the attitude and energy of the crowd were the perfect compliments for each other.
By the time the night ended, O.A.R. not only destroyed the stage but they gained MANY new fans moving forward. Expect a concert experience this year that will be hard to match!
Finally, if you aren’t a music buff, the Bird’s Nest is THE place to see and be seen. Don’t miss the first great party of the year!
Tickets (on sale today at 10 AM!):
Tickets for this performance of O.A.R. at the Bird’s nest start at $35 ($40 on the day of the show) and can be purchased at all Ticketmaster outlets and via the link below:
