I’m not really reviewing tonight’s show (http://rockisagirlsbestfriend.com/2009/10/06/thom-yorke-at-the-orpheum-night-2/), but here’s a quick update:

Tonight, everybody started up on their feet and stayed there. Just prior to playing “Skip Divided,” Thom said, “Thank you for standing up. This is a dance record. Or, you can sit down. . . if it’s been a long day.”

The security team was also instrumental in ensuring everybody had a good time tonight.

I was third row, center – a different perspective from there (that’s all). If you watch the videos from the Echoplex show (see previous blog post) or if you were at that show, you’ll know what I mean. Or read Pitchfork’s review of last night’s show (I think they’re the ones who also commented on the more “tame” nature of the Orpheum show). But as I said originally, the show was spectacular (and there could have been more dancing).

at the very beginning of the set when the band entered the stage, most of the crowd stood up and applauded them. thom then quickly waved at everyone to sit down; which they did. it was only when he said it was okay to stand that people did stand. i took it to mean that the crowd was being very polite and considerate of what thom wanted. and if i remember right, thom has stopped shows entirely before due to unruly crowds. so… yeah i didnt view it as negatively as you did. i also sat in the balcony. people were still pretty hyped to be there.
