From Dead Air Space:

We’re doing a show this Sunday (24th January) to raise funds for the relief effort in Haiti. The venue is The Music Box Theatre at The Fonda in Los Angeles, doors at 7pm. All proceeds are going to the Oxfam Haiti relief fund. We’re trying to raise as much money as possible, so tickets will be sold by auction at this site from 8pm tonight until 11am Saturday (PST):

We’re in the middle of recording at the moment, so you’ll be catching us on the fly…. but if you’re up for it, then we are too.

See you then

Philip

and then:

Just to clarify times for ticket sales

Auction starts Thursday 21st January 08.00 pm PST
Auction ends Saturday 23rd January 11.00 am PST

Well, that’s all clear now….

WEBCAST PLEASE ! Won’t affect attendance of the folks that can afford tickets. Live would be nice, but a delay if u think it would affect attendance .
HEY I GOT AN IDEA : DONATE WHAT YOU CAN AFFORD TO SEE THE VIDEO ! Never been tried as far as I know : )

21+?

i like stopwhispering’s idea. it would help raise more that way too. not to mention, all the celebs in hollywood who are going to win.

Skye,
You don’t know SA, do you ? That would be wild.

5 nj January 21, 2010 at 9:37 pm

webcast would be great. even with a reasonable minimum bid.

Maybe record a live CD/DVD(Blu-Ray) and sell it through W.A.S.T.E. and donate all of it to the relief effort.

7 Denise January 22, 2010 at 4:39 am

I’m so jealous !
Everything is going to happen in LA …

I agree to Jeffrey’s comment: please release the In Rainbows/São Paulo show in DVD/Blu ray and give the money to Haiti.

Ups, I”ve forgotten : Great Phil !!!

stopwhispering,

considering your question confused me, i’m thinking the answer is no?

10 stopwhispering January 22, 2010 at 7:02 pm

skye,

Thanks for replying. It’s a political org. Someone with your name is in it. cheers

I like the donate for webcast idea. Tickets seem to be starting at $350 with a minimum/max of 2. Guess there are a ton of people in LA with lots of money so it shouldn’t be a problem.

Man!!! I’m right down the street from LA, but those ticket prices!!! Yikes!!!
A podcast from Radiohead.tv and a $25.00 upload, cool.
Too much for this poor man.
Thank you Radiohead for your love.
May the Lord be over them and us all.

13 aditya January 22, 2010 at 11:12 pm

Chicago needs you, Radiohead!

14 Panda Jibawi January 23, 2010 at 11:31 am

I wish this show was in Chicago. LA seems so far away. Thank You Radiohead for all your brilliant brilliant work and for doing this show for a great benefit.

16 cn January 24, 2010 at 11:44 am

I’m lucky enough to be going tonight. Does anybody know offhand the last time they played a venue this small?

17 pantrus January 24, 2010 at 1:07 pm

cn do you think [ in case people don t do it ] you can give us some words after the show ? i will really appreciate it . . .

18 cn January 24, 2010 at 2:30 pm

Yeah sure. I’ve seen them a fair amount over the years going back to The Bends era so I’m curious to see how this relates to recent stage shows which have been such gigantic events. Will be amazing to see them in such a tiny venue where I normally see smaller indie bands.

19 pantrus January 24, 2010 at 3:02 pm

cn you re lucky . . . enjoy it a lot . . . saw rh live at bigger venues as well . . . and they are now doing so many things . . . and moving around . . . and projects . . . and surprises . . . i am sure they re carrying such a special energy right now that i am really expecting this tonight to be so so beautiful [ and i wont say that i strongly feel another new song shhhh ] . best energy for U ___such a great cause and such a great concert _____such a pretty house __ and such a pretty garden in the stage tonight ___peace from miami and haiti b strong ! human beings there suffer so much and now this as well ? . . . __energy _____
