Saturday we made it to Liberty State Park in N.J. for the All Points West festival. The only reason for going on Saturday, for me, was to see Radiohead. Chromeo was also up in there in the list, but playing at 2 pm, there was no way I was going to make it.
Radiohead was of course incredible. They played 2+hours and had 2 encores. The visuals were pretty nice: two large screens as well as what seemed to me (from my spot) like strands of fiber optics hanging and creating simple patterns. The screens had 6 different views of the stage and every now and then some interesting patterns.
Some pics after the jump. Some clips coming up in a few days.
The venue itself was absolutely horrendous though. Getting there wasn’t terrible but once in the park, it all just crumbled down: long waits everywhere, the process of acquiring beer was among the most idiotic I have ever experienced in my life and the thrill and joy of taking about 3 hours to come back to the city cannot really be put into words.
One thing is for sure, I am NEVER going back to New Jersey. Period.
