Colin is wearing a grizzly bear t-shirt. But I don't think it's a Grizzly Bear t-shirt? Just a picture of a bear!

This is such a great show! The webcast is clear & sounds amazing. Why don't bands do this more often? I'm loving this.

I love the quickfooted little Men In Black that rush onto the stage after every song carrying the instruments. HOLY SHIT! No Surprises. Gotta go.

It really is a great night. 10 years ago I would have never thought I'd see instant replay in baseball (plus the Cubs in first place), a black man accept nomination for president AND a free radiohead concert live over the web.

Great fucking night.

Ed said in an interview that the only reason they hadn't played Creep yet was that it didn't "feel" right.

I'm going to call it right now - they are going to play Creep before the night is out.

There must be somewhere on the Internet offering Thom Yorke dance lessons. How can I hook that up? I need those moves.

Yeah no creep. would've made too much sense to end the entire tour live on the internet for the entire world with creep. kinda disappointed they ended with idioteque but still the whole thing was incredible.

Why did they end so early? Is there a 10 pm curfew, or something?

I went to the show and it was fucking amazing.
1. Thom has the loveliest dance moves on earth.
2. The show gave me chills multiple times
3. The light show was trippy.
4. Santa Barbara has a 10pm curfew and a hefty fine if you pass it.
