anyone seen radiohead this tour?

[russycarps]

I saw them at the O2. The king of limbs stuff is absolutely incredible live. They opened with Lotus Flower and it jusr blew me away. On record I am not the biggest fan of the album, but live the songs are huge.

If they were to headline glastonbury next year we are looking at one of the best ever headline shows I'd say.

And to think people still compare muse to radiohead. It's absolutely laughable!

[Ed209]

saw them on the US leg of the tour. It was brilliant, but a couple of the king of limbs stuff failed in my opinion. Seemed like the they were struggling to get the two drummers things nailed. Sound came over quite sloppy. Maybe they've got that a bit more polished now though. Lotus Flower though is an absolute monster of a live tune.

Radiohead on the pyramid will be totally epic, as it always is

[kaosmark2]

Saw them at the MEN.

I think a lot of TKoL stuff was excellent, but Give Up the Ghost with the backing track really didn't work IMO. Bloom and Feral were particularly brilliant though, Pyramid Song and the Hunting Bears mix with National Anthem were absolutely fantastic surprise inclusions, lots of awesomeness.

And I still can't find out what those damn QR codes mean!

[BlackHole2006]

Saw them at the O2 Arena. The King of Limbs stuff sounds so much better live than it does on record, and yeah I agree, opening with Lotus Flower was absolute genius stuff.

But as I posted on the Glastonbury forums, I'm not really sure that set would work as Glasto as I can see your average punter not really getting it.

Saying that, Thom Yorke literally had the crowd in the palm of his hands the entire show, and I'm sure he would be more than capable of working a crowd at Glastonbury too.

You were at a gig with Radiohead fans though. Thom Yorke could fart erratically for 90 minutes into the mic and people would be like "Oh his farts sound so much better live".

Dunno.

I guess that makes up for having to live in Glendale Arizona?

[russycarps]

Thom Yorke played the first verse/chorus of The One I Love then they launched into Everything In It's Right Place.

It was amazing.

The only thing that annoyed me about that gig was that I was next to this couple who would NOT stop talking all the way through the concert, even during Like Spinning Plates. Numerous people told them to be quiet, and when those people did, they just laughed and carried on.

[The Nal]

I detect a hint of bitterness, are you more of a controlled fart kind of guy?

[BlackHole2006]

People are titheads.

Like Spinning Plates was fluffing amazing.

My one gripe is looking at last nights setlist they seemed to have got the national anthem whereas we got karma police. The national anthem is my favourite song of theirs. Gutted (I've seen it loads though so not that bothered). The live version of There There into The National Anthem....things dont get better than that.

[russycarps]

Luckily they left before the encores so I got to enjoy Pyramid Song and Reckoner without them yacking on endlessly. Yeah, it's a shame about not getting The National Anthem, but I think the mass sing-along to Karma Police more than made up for it.

[Ed209]

Tuesday night also got Airbag, which is one of my favourite live songs

No one asked, but if I'm going for top 5 favourite radiohead songs live I would probably go,

Airbag

National Anthem

There There

Climbing up the walls

Jigsaw falling into place

My favourite 'head song is The Tourist, which in the 8 times i've seen them, they've never played. Not sure it makes it into their set much at all anymore which is a travesty.

Gutted that I didn't go this tour. Other things popped up and stopped me from going. Radiohead are awesome live.

[BlackHole2006]

Left before the encores! I despair. Be thankful they werent shouting for Creep after every song....

I suppose karma police can be considered a rarity these days!

I tried listening to king of limbs on my way to work today but after hearing the live versions it sounds so weedy. I need to get a bootleg of this tour asap (thankfully there are usually shitloads)

Found the thing I was talking about earlier:

[kaosmark2]

The review in the paper today over one of their British dates said the dual drummers was spectacular.But that was the Star so might be easily impressed lol.
