Radiohead stage collapses in Toronto, drum-tech killed


The drum technician for the alternative band Radiohead has died as a result of a collapse of the stage’s overhanging metal works. The incident occurred just as fans were arriving to the show, around 4 PM.

The Concert Experience 2012


After plugging away at my Master’s studies at Full Sail University, I view live music events slightly differently than before, perhaps a little more analytically. For instance, I look at the show’s demographic, ticket prices, layout and overall experience. This past week I had the chance to see two very different shows, back to back. Two Door Cinema Club performed at The Beacham/Social on Monday and Bon Iver performed at Hard Rock: CityWalk on Tuesday.
