i haven't seen it live in person so can't really comment, but just like Burn the Witch needs strings to be perfect live, Let Down needs Ed to sing the harmonies along with Thom. maybe they/he thinks he can't do it justice, but from the recordings i've seen it just doesn't sound as amazing as it could

I thought I had heard a video where Ed did the counter melody recently, but it turns out it was the crowd:

You need to clone Thom.

We have the tools, we can rebuild him

He had Reckoner on his setlist for the first night, I know this because I had the same reaction as you. 

Phewf! There must and shall be Reckoner!

I would have came round to How To Disappear earlier if I'd known that was all it took

How about a list of 10 songs they need to play that haven't been played on the Pyramid before? In no particular order:

1. Pyramid Song
2. Reckoner
3. Weird Fishes
4. Let Down
5. Myxomatosis
6. Ful Stop
7. Burn the Witch
8. How to Disappear Completely
9. Optimistic
10. Knives Out

I love that there's pretty much always gotta be a list of some sorts going on in here  

Think you basically covered the main ones. Replace Knives Out with Bodysnatchers, cause as much In Rainbows as possible please, and that'd do for me!

[jparx]

We can't go more than a day without some fresh variety of list! I also want Nude but it's difficult to leave any of the others out!

I reckon they'll do Nude but I honestly wouldn't be too bothered if they left it out - Weird Fishes, Reckoner and Bodysnatchers are the priority In Rainbows songs for me, and if they fancy taking Jigsaw out of retirement too that'd be great

[russycarps]

Is they're any reason why jigsaw is in retirement? I love it, and it'll get the pyramid field moving. Need as many lively songs as possible. Nude is brill, but I'd sacrifice it

They said they rehearsed pretty much all their material before this tour and are playing the stuff that feels best - guess Jigsaw just didn't click like some of the other stuff which is unfortunate

Massive omission for me if Jigsaw doesn't get dusted off.

It's a long time until June. Who knows what will feel right then?

Do they play Optimistic much? That's one I'd love to hear.

Unfortunately not. Think they've played it once (this year sometime) since 2009. Definitely one i'd love to see get played

[jparx]

I get what y'all saying about Nude, but it was the highlight of their NOS set in the summer. It probably will be sacrificed for something more upbeat, but I'd love to see it. To be honest I'd want them to play 5-6 In Rainbows tracks if I had my way.

Well, like, this, obviously.

Fuck me I wouldn;t be complaining if they played Lucky

Lucky is incredible live. played it both previous times they've played and it was a live staple for years until recently so i don't imagine it'll get an outing this time round, especially what with the huge amount of other material they have now. unfortunate, but they can't play everything!

[jparx]

I think we all accept that Thom's voice is getting a bit wobbly these days, but Lucky is one of those songs that he still absolutely nails live. Nude being another.

It seems to ebb and flow. I remember seeing/hearing some shocking visited around the Kid A timeframe, but come In Rainbows he was nailing Nude live regularly.

Do you think it's actually deteriorating properly? He's never had perfect pitching, do you think it's getting noticeably worse?

[Madyaker]

As singers get older their voices change and succumb to wear and tear just like the rest of their bodies, its part of ageing. It always gets harder for them to hit the high notes.

i think it's getting a bit weaker. not to an unlistenable extent by any means, but he certainly can't hold a note or hit the falsetto like he used to. i think a good example of this is a lot of the videos of them playing Burn the Witch this year - a lot of the time he can't seem to get the 'burnnnn' to sound right and it sounds pretty shakey
