    I was at that gig too! But methinks it was 1997, right slap bag in the middle of my Leaving Cert (the first time I did it!), but I still went nonetheless (and you wonder why I had to re sit it! ;) ) Radiohead played at the Castlegar (bar?) Sports grounds in Galway in July 1996.............the best weekend ever! :D
