I'm thinking about avoiding looking at any set list and watching any videos from the upcoming shows. Do you guys think being oblivious to the likely set list and stage design will add to the excitement of the show?

Are they playing another 28-song set like last time?
How could any of us possibly know that
i got a Ouija board to answer that question! And while I am at it will win the Powerball and grant many of my chose TA Access if you ladies and even some guys will lick Prince I hate to see what happens to Thom Yorke when security cannot stop you!

Debating. Seeing him in Atlanta and the Roo. Or just making the roo really special. WWUD?
I personally have plans to see them at least once if not twice before 'roo (depending on their northeast dates) but it's really all about personal preference.
what's the situation for getting into the pit? i'm planning on gettin to main stage early for bon iver so hopefully I'll get a good spot for RH anyways, but being up in the pit sounds tempting. how hard is it to get in there? especially right after the pre-headliner...
My recommendation is to wait for the pit stage right. I saw Pearl Jam and Jay-Z stage left and it was a madhouse to get in. (waited for at least 5 hours & the heat becomes seriously unbearable---for Tool at least 10 people passed out). Thus, last year I decided to try out stage right and it worked very well. I got in to see MMJ without any problem, and could have walked into Arcade Fire as well but I was just too tired. That being said, the next night Eminem was still pretty difficult to get in the pit for. The advantage, however, for the right, is that you have a lot more room to breath---i.e. you're not smushed up against a wall (this is pure hell) + the bathrooms are right next to you. Good luck to you though----Radiohead is going as bad as Pearl Jam I think, and I will most likely end up settling on the right and chill---usually easy picking for good seats.
Oh yeah, looks like my headliners were pretty spot on. I missed with Van Halen last year but nailed this year. Guess the Christmas party was legit after all, right Juggs?

how soon before the MMJ set did you get into the pit? if i have to wait in line for hours i doubt i'll even try, hopefully i'll already have a good spot before the pre-headliners go on anyways
I was only there about 1 hour before MMJ. But for the main acts you have to make a commitment. Don't be one of those tools that come up 1 hour before the set and try to push your way in. I have seen 4 men get their heads bashed for it. For Radiohead, you're going to have to make an all day commitment. If it was me personally, I would get there 5 hours before the set. I did that for PJ, and still almost didn't get it.........so, TIFWIW

^ You being serious? I assumed I could get there for the start of whoever Pre headlines for Radiohead (Bon Iver or Avett Brothers) and start waiting for pit then. Figured the 1.5 hour show + 1 hour wait would be good for pit. Do I really have to sit through the show before that too? That seems pretty outlandish

I've been in the pit for several headliners, and I think he's right. I tried getting in the pit for Pearl Jam by waiting in line through Jack Johnson and I was shut out. To guarantee a spot, I would think you would have to wait through two shows before Radiohead.

Others will be able to give you a good answer but last year I got in the pit line for MMJ right after the act before them was finishing up. I ended up pretty close to the front of the pit and didn't wait for a few shows. I'm not sure if Radiohead will be crazy hard though. Just look for the noD group

Wow thats a bummer. I was already kind of upset that I would have to sit through Bon Iver or The Avett Brothers both of whom I have no interest in seeing, hopefully I like whoever is on before them!
You guys think there is any chance we will hear The Butcher or Supercollider?
who knows. they've never done the butcher live, but when i saw them in sept. they did debut the live version of supercollider. whether or not they will play it on the tour is anyones guess

You gotta look at the long term though. This time next year what will you remember most? Being front and center for Radiohead or the other bands you would be missing? That;s a judgement call you're gonna have to make. I've missed several acts in the past (Primus and Mumford last year) that I wanted to see, but the experience of seeing someone on par with Radiohead in the atmosphere of the pit is the best part about Roo IMO.
Don't think, however, that your going to simply walk right up t the pit for Radiohead, or simply start waiting in line the act before Radiohead---you WILL have a bad experience.

Radiohead fans are a different breed. I wasn't there in 2008 but I would say however crazy it was for Pearl Jam you can expect for Radiohead this year, if not a little worse.

I literally wandered into KoL's pit about 30 minutes before the show started, wasn't even sure I was going to watch the show at all. Waited through the Decemberists and managed to get on the rail for MMJ, watched all of them, then left the pit and got right back in for Arcade Fire.
