Makes me want to go back sooner than later. And of course, for Radiohead. <b>brandon</b> - BART was the best part of the whole thing. They were actually very prepared for the masses, even running a train almost 2 hours past their normal stop time. It was the MUNI buses that failed. They should have had tons of extra buses out there running every 5 minutes for the first two hours. <b>tori</b> - Fortunately, I think the issues were related to the tens of thousands of concert goers in one place. I didn't hear how the other two days went because we stayed away from the Golden Gate Park area the rest of the time. <b>winter</b> - You will like them. They just did two nights at Hollywood Bowl there in L.A. I know tix were not cheap (scalpers had some going for $3,000 per ticket). Ouch! Yeah, I need to do at least one hour long ride a week to keep the battery going. Not looking forward to winter time when I have to charge the battery once a month. At least I can do that indoors. nilsa - It is a great city to visit. Makes me want to go back sooner than later. And of course, for Radiohead.

That's crazy. I got stuck at the SF Airport once for eight hours so I took the BART into town, I was able to see a ton of stuff and make it back with an hour to spare. I love good public transportation. Seattle, get on the ball already. Four hours? That’s crazy.

Next time they tour, you should try to catch them. <b>penelope</b> - It was so crazy... as you saw from the pic of the packed bus. That picture was taken at around midnight. We just kept walking until we found a place to eat and rest (<a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/island-cafe-san-francisco" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Island Cafe</a> at Taraval & 19th Street) then seeing an empty bus right as we walked out. And nope... not weird at all. :-) <b>kapgar</b> - LOL... I'm telling you, I wished we would have had the scooter. It could have shaved off 2 hours of us walking. There were enough people on scooters riding past the throngs of us walkers. dave2 - They are really good live. Next time they tour, you should try to catch them.

Despite that, it sounds like you had a fabulous time, I always enjoy your photos. PS. Is it weird that I have a teensy crush on your scooter? It's just too damn cute! ;o) 4 hours waiting for transport is ridiculous!

They were very good live. Incredible set... "Karma Police" "Fake Plastic Trees" "Pyramid Song" "Paranoid Android" and most of the IN RAINBOWS album. It had been over 15 years since the last time I was in SF. I did more exploring this time. <b>blondeblogger</b> - You must go with him sometime. It's really a cool city. I'm a big public transportation person (where there's not 60,000 people going to a concert), so riding MUNI and BART was pretty cool. Plus it's easy to get around the city. Make sure you have a map handy (they are free from most places) kevin - I had been wanting to see Radiohead for a long time, but they have only been to Utah once. They were very good live.
