They clocked Pablo Honey and King of Limbs as turkeys.

I don't know whether to make the effort for Manchester or Glasgow or both or neither (if tickets become available again). I live in Scotland most of the time so Glasgow makes sense, but it might just be another festival show where most of the crowd aren't that bothered.

But I wouldn't be surprised if the band broke up this year, so may be worth seeing them as much as possible.

I live in constant fear that radiohead may not tour for a while again so i'm going to Manchester and Glasgow

OCCASIONALLY trust the general public.

Long time lurker, first time poster looking to weigh in on the possible setlist.

Let Down is one of my favourite songs of all time and one of the only songs from any band that I truly love that I have yet to see live.  I see lots are optimistic posts about it making an appearance at Glastonbury and I would love nothing more.  Unfortunately I just don't see it happening.  Unless they have mastered it on the last tour I can't see them playing it for a show they know will be recorded and broadcasted live.

Maybe I'm just playing down it's chances of making an appearance to help with the likely disappointment of it not being played.

Wish I could do the same with FPT. 

I think Let Down has a strong chance because of OKC anniversary. They're definitely not going to play the whole album but wouldn't surprise me if a quarter of the set came from that alone.

I doubt they'll stray far from the 2-3 songs they play from that album. Paranoid Android, Karma Police + another is all I'm expecting. I just hope that other one is Let Down, but could easily be any of Airbag, No Surprises, Lucky, Exit Music or Climbing Up the Walls (all of which would be ace - I just want to hear Let Down live at least once).

See, I'm thinking - because next year is effectively the second year of touring AMSP - that album could lose one or two a night on average, and that OKC would benefit. Glastonbury in particular, because whilst they're not a sentimental band, the majority of that crowd will associate their festival history with OKC (this be highly complicated reasoning.)

Unpopular opinion - I'd happily skip Paranoid Android. Think for Glastonbury, I'd want Karma Police, Let Down and No Surprises.

Have you seen the Outside Lands show from last year? Incredible Let Down to open the encore.

I'd take Paranoid Android over both Karma Police and No Surprises.

Thought I'd give it a go, heartbreaking to leave some great songs out..

1. Burn the Witch
2. Creep
3. Airbag
4. Paranoid Android
5. There There
6. Pyramid Song
7. Present Tense
8. Lotus Flower
9. Myxomatosis
10. Planet Telex
11. How to Disappear Completely
12. Separator
13. Reckoner
14. Everything in Its Right Place (True Love Waits intro)
15. Idioteque

Encore 1:

1. The Bends/2+2=5 (I genuinely can't decide)
2. Jigsaw Falling Into Place
3. Identikit
4. Nude
5. Weird Fishes/Arpeggi

Encore 2:

1. Let Down
2. Karma Police

Encore 3:

1. Fake Plastic Trees

Brilliant setlist, thought it would have to be 2+2=5 and not The Bends, Thom has been butchering that song for years, no need to inflict that on the Pyramid.

D'you mean Kula Shaker?

Exactly, a mate of mine went and watched some other shite, and it was definitely NOT as cool as Primal Scream. I could forgive that, just about. Amazing gig, the highlight of my 21, soon to be 22 years of Glasto going. Yep, even better than Bowie.

I prefer Paranoid Android but if I had to choose I'd rather have Karma Police at Glastonbury. It'll be an almighty sing a long.

No doubt everyone here already knows everything on this (and laughs at its omissions and inaccuracies), but Steve Lamacq's 4-part 'The Radiohead Story' from 2003 is back on iPlayer:

For me Karma Police was the highlight of 2003 performance. I wasn't particularly into them at the time, that was the first time I had seen them. 

 

[FloorFiller]

Although many would argue that they've been done to death and they should favour some other OK Computer tracks instead, I very much want both Paranoid Android and Karma Police to feature. Both huge moments of their live sets regardless of people thinking Thom half-arses his way through Paranoid Android these days. Paranoid Android mid-set somewhere (or even at the start) to give people a slap in the face and then Karma as a main set/encore closer for that singalong.

Fair enough, you've convinced me. That "For a minute there I lost myself..." bit would be quite something. Bin off No Surprises for these two then.

What he said. Something a bit off about Paranoid Android for me. Can appreciate it's a favourite of many but I'd happily miss it at this stage in my musical life.

In twenty years time, I could be ticked off that I missed it though...

I've previously stated my indifference towards Karma Police. No surprises I would absolutely love, was my favourite track for a while (too difficult to say now). Paranoid Android is a must, one of their most iconic songs.

That's fair enough, haven't seen The Bends live so I've got no idea what it's like nowadays, 2+2=5 was absolutely incredible last year though

Yup, this. Fit FPT in there for that granday guitar finish alone and it'll be a bosster!

[cloudb]

I think FPT is more likely than Let Down.  This makes me sad.

Something like Exit Music for a Film is also more likely to benefit from the 20 year anniversary factor than Let Down imo.

[Madyaker]

They don't strike me as a sentimental band so although it's 20 years since OKC I don't think that'll have much of a bearing on the songs they play. I think we'll only get 2 or 3 from AMSP instead of 4 or 5 like they did on the last leg of the tour. I spent a while last night trying to come up with a realistic set list but it's impossible to decide what to include

[CaledonianGonzo]

Ah...for some reason I thought that the Glasgow Green show was the Friday after Gtime, not two weeks later.

That helps me decide.

If I had to pick a single moment that really got me into Radiohead it'd be the moment where the harps come in on 'Motion Picture Soundtrack'. Breathtaking from the first listen. Would absolutely love it if that song made it back into the setlists - not holding out much hope thought sadly.

For me, it would be the drums coming in on Exit Music, goosebumps from the first listen, and every time since

 

and that bass fuzz... daaaamnnn
