Notes After witnessing Radiohead's 2006 set at Bonnaroo, I wasn't sure that anybody, even the miracle workers themselves, could top that. But upon reflection and listenting back, I'd have to say I think they pulled it off. This was a show for the ages, with a great setlist, an incredible visual show, and the type of energy that 80,000 enraptured fans can help a band generate. The sound on the What Stage is always amazing, but when you have the the type of organic and electronic dynamics that Radiohead creates, that sound system really shines. Even though I wasn't in usual FOB/DFC spot, I wasn't too far away from that prime location, and you can hear every cymbal, every acoustic strum.

Coming as it did on Friday night, this show set the bar far too high for the Chili Peppers or Phish to even come close to reaching. Apparently the longest show of the tour to date, this will go down (in my memory at least) as one of the best sets in my nine years of attending the festival.
Tech Notes Lineage: source > SD to HD > ProTools LE 8.03 (mastering, conversion to 16/44.1) > Goldwave (track splitting, sector alignment, fades, edits) > TLH FLAC16 (Level 6 encoding, verification)
Location: 40' left of center, 20' back from FOB, up on stand at 9'
- boosted volume of entire file by 2.5 dB in Goldwave
- pops and crackles during the first couple of minutes of reckoner due to some assholes shooting fireworks off in the crowd, probably 150' behind us and to the left
- thankfully there are only a few overenthusiastic "woohoo!"s over the course of the 2+ hours. and with the mics up at 9', it's not much of an issue.
