There was confusion in the air, it's true.

EDIT - hang on, that was 16 years ago!  What the hell do you mean "old enough"?!

well i was 11 then and so was more concerned with the break up of the Spice Girls than Radiohead's new career defining album

OK that's acceptable.

The 11 part, not the Spice Girls part. Well maybe both.

Bloody kids...

Despite having seen both played at the Roundhouse gig, I'd be entirely happy to hear them again on the Pyramid. Bodysnatchers was a brilliant, rocking encore opener and, despite an argument for its overexposure, No Surprises remains, for me, one of their finest ever moments. That final glissando through "...such a pretty house and such a pretty garden..." is spine tingling. It's right up there for me with the heavy bass and chords in Exit Music when everything ramps up with "You can laugh, a spineless laugh...", that pair of moments being a microcosm of how good OKC is.

That bit in Exit Music is one of my favourite ever moments in music. Never fails to give me chills. Even just reading your description of it gets a psychical reaction.

Totally agree. That moment, and the climax of Nude were the best moments of their set at NOS. I wasn't even the biggest fan of those songs before the show (I liked them, just wouldn't put them in my top 10), but they easily stood out the most. 

They even blew away Reckoner, which was some going.

Child 3, my musical prodigy and a pianist among other skills, and I, sing along to the climax of Exit Music together frequently at home! Belting out those last lines "....choke you, NOW, we are one, in everlasting peace..."

Ugh!

Wow.  Saturday nights are a blast chez Benny.

What do you do for an encore, Gloomy Sunday?

Sharing moments like that with a 15 year old who cites Kid A and In Rainbows in his top 5 albums? I'll take that Sarky Quarky!

My Radiohead Glastonbury 2017 setlist

 

1 // Airbag 

2 // Let Down 

3 // Burn the Witch 

4 // Present Tense 

5 // Weird Fishes/Arpeggi

6 // Lucky 

7 // Talk Show Host 

8 // There There (The Boney King of Nowhere) 

9 // the National Anthem 

10 // Ful Stop 

11 // Nude 

12 // Identikit 

13 // Dollars & Cents

14 // Climbing up the Walls 

15 // No Surprises

16 // Reckoner 

17 // Paranoid Android 

18 // Street Spirit (Fade Out) 

 

Encore 1

19 // Exit Music (For A Film) 

20 // Pyramid Song 

21 // Idioteque 

22 // Everything In Its Right Place 

 

Encore 2 

23 // Fake Plastic Trees 

24 // Karma Police 

25 // Creep 

 

 

Obvious wishful thinking on the most part with the set length and some of the songs,  missing out some songs I'd have liked in there in How To Disappear Completely, Optimistic, Life in a Glasshouse, Bodysnatchers, Staircase, Codex etc but they've got so many excellent songs it's so hard to do.  After seeing some of the recent setlists though my biggest hope for them is that they don't open entirely with the first 4 or 5 songs from A Moon Shaped Pool. I don't think that would go down well with the neutral and maybe the atmosphere of watching them.

Change Dollars and Cents for Spinning Plates and swap the positions of Weird Fishes/Fake Plastic Trees and we have a winner!

I couldn't honestly ever wish that Radiohead would play Karma Police or especially Creep, whilst leaving out HTDC. Just plain wrong on every conceivable level.

And Talk Show Host has been played on both of Radiohead's previous headline gigs, so if they need to play a b side something else should be given a chance!

I do like that you go with Dollars & Cents and Climbing Up The Walls though.

Erm...apart from the conspicuous, nay tragic, omission of 2+2=5...

I'm thinking more of general crowd viewing on the Pyramid over Radiohead. They'd obviously go down better in such circumstances. 

[bennyhana22]

Tried out some new, rather sw*nky, in-ear monitors yesterday, using Weird Fishes/Arpeggi as the opening test track.

OMG

Oh yes those songs would go down very well indeed, but If we go down that route they wouldn't play anything from AMSP or Amnesiac at all.

Talking of which I Might Be Wrong deserves it's chance on the Pyramid.

err when was the last headliner to an Encore let alone two?

Every headliner normally has 1 encore , radiohead have always done 2

Talking of which, who has seen a festival non-headliner get a genuine encore?

Doesn't count if they're the virtual headliner, but have chosen not to play last!

I can only think of one - tUnE-yArDs, early evening at Green Man in 2012. They (she) was so good, and so well received, that crowd chanting resulted in an unplanned/anticipated encore!

Not just you!  I'm sure Florence didn't do an encore last year. Didn't watch end of any Pyramid headliners' sets this year, but don't remember encores at West Holts either.
