Seinfeld, Family Guy, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Extras, The Office (BBC), and Arrested Development are like chicken soup when your sick.

[Boourns]

Agreed could totally see it coming once Boourns' said ...

Oh sure, blame me. Well I BLAME IT ON THE BLACK SWAN

[betao]

Oh sure, blame me. Well I BLAME IT ON THE BLACK SWAN

you should have blamed it on the black star.

black star = one of my least favorites radiohead tunes.

*ducks*

[luckyface]

Seinfeld, Family Guy, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Extras, The Office (BBC), and Arrested Development are like chicken soup when your sick.

I would agree with some of those. I also would like to add Simpsons, Married with Children, Futurama, and many of the Adult Swim cartoons.

*ducks*

No need to duck. It is a lame song.

[BlackSwan]

Black Swan, whats the deal with going to Houston but not Dallas?

i know, i'm not happy about it either.


The Beatles > Radiohead



fuck it, Air > Radiohead, Aphex Twin > Radiohead, Outkast > Radiohead, Portishead > Radiohead, Velvet Underground > Radiohead.

seriously? Outkast?



Oh sure, blame me. Well I BLAME IT ON THE BLACK SWAN

Radiohead is the music that you listen to after your dog dies. I mean, I love them, but they aren't the best band ever.

[ThomThom]

Nico,

If you do a search you will find that there are several threads pertaining to "not getting Radiohead" or "Radiohead is overrated", go clutter up one of those threads. This is a tour thread used for the sole purpose of jacking off to live audio and making out with set lists that they compile each night they play. So, back to the tour guys, oh wait...

Is it August 22nd yet ?

When the Hollywood Bowl sells out, is it totally sold out or will they release tickets sporadically like what's been happening at other venues ? I ask because my friend from Alaska has been thinking he might try and make the journey down south after OSL for another RH show. I know there are lawn tix available for Chula, but that is wicked far. So whatabout the HW Bowl ?

[suprefan]

There was already a ticket release 4 days after regular sale, tickets popped up, you missed em. If it happens, it happens. If not, well, show up to the venue with your negotiating hat on and start wheeling and dealing.






saying creed is my fav. band, and jumping on the give Jesse(sushov) a hard time bandwagon.


What dude, you wont answer the question, grow some balls and answer.







3 days

There was already a ticket release 4 days after regular sale, tickets popped up, you missed em. If it happens, it happens. If not, well, show up to the venue with your negotiating hat on and start wheeling and dealing.

Yeah that's what I thought.

I am basically just trying to anticipate his wants after he sees RH for his first time at OSL, cuz I know that he will be all gung ho for seeing them again before he's on his way back to the AK. I don't think its worth driving to LA w/o tix in hand, especially w/ RHs draw 'round there. I will just keep checking TM periodically.

[suprefan]

Show up, youll find a ticket for face, nobody wants to just leave a ticet lying around unused even if its 50 bucks for the back.

[fikus222]

That is tempting, damn you...

I will keep my eyes peeled and have a talk with my friend, he did just resign on with the Coast Guard and received a nice fat bonus, so maybe we will make the journey south with fingers crossed and cash at the ready.

[Sushov23]

Supre I when I wrote that I don't think Radiohead is the biggest band in the world, it was more because I just believe saying "that (insert band name) is the biggest band in the world" is a little bit much. I'm not trying to cop out or anything.

[suprefan]

Where there is a will, there is a way. I had to tell a few of my buddies the same thing, to just go do it, cause this might be their only chance...




sushov, Im asking who you think is in your eyes right now the best, thats it. this is a message board, and its all opinion. Its a bit much for any person on here to say whoever they think, cause we could argue to no end because of it.

[Sushov23]

I don't know honestly who I think the best is right now. I just know I love Radiohead, RHCP, Foo Fighters, My Morning Jacket, Arcade Fire, Arctic Monkeys, MUSE, Kings Of Leon, The White Stripes, Wilco and the list goes on and on and on and yeah you get it.

Nissan Pavilion
Due to Sunday night's torrential rain storm and consequential multiple road closures, many fans were unable to reach the Nissan Pavilion. While acknowledging a lack of control over the ensuing flooding and detours, the members of Radiohead are nevertheless disappointed regarding this turn of events. For further inquiries, ticketholders who didn't get in are urged to contact: customerservice@nissanpavilion.com

[BlackSwan]

Ebay is your friend, we'll give you a lift from Houston.

Appreciate the offer and I would def take you up on it if I could.


Radiohead is the music that you listen to after your dog dies.

:nono that's just stupid

[BlackSwan]

it's been so hard to resist listening to any of the live recordings, especially DC, but so far, so good.

ok i caved, but is it just me or does it sound kind of sloppy... or does the recording I heard really suck? I'm talking about the on from Radiohead Not For Profit.

[suprefan]

Recording is fine, there is some wind sometimes. Charlotte sounds fine and West Palm is good too.



Soundcheck so far

thanks for waking me up on friday for Coachella, I forgot to set my alarm, so that wake up text was great.

[fikus222]

2 sources are citing the Kinks and Portishead cover.... Ill see what else I can dig up

Maybe RH were just messing around, amusing themselves and playing for the hoards outside the venue. I just can't fathom them playing those two songs during a show, though it sure would be awesome.

[paulb]

thanks for waking me up on friday for Coachella, I forgot to set my alarm, so that wake up text was great.

did I send u a text at like 6am or something? lol...

[Sushov23]

yeah it was 7:30 or so. I stayed up, and hung out with my little sister and brother before they went to school at 9. Then I started getting ready, and I was out of the door by 11am.

[paulb]

you're in San Diego? or LA?

[Sushov23]

right now I live in SD, but I'm from Indio, so I stay with my parents when I visit. I drove down on thursday, and hung out with family and friends the night before coachella.

[paulb]

cool, lucky. Back on topic... I have no clue how Radiohead's setlist tonight could possibly top Bristows...

[suprefan]

ok this gets better the. Last song, WHAT THE HELL?!?!?!


Alll I Need
Jigsaw
Arpeggi
Paranoid Android
Myxomatosis(partial)
(I wish you Would) Come To Your Senses


Paul, plenty of ways to top it

[Sushov23]

so we should expect an epic set list tonight?

[BlackSwan]

ok this gets better the. Last song, WHAT THE HELL?!?!?!


Alll I Need

Paranoid Android
Myxomatosis(partial)
(I wish you Would) Come To Your Senses


Paul, plenty of ways to top it

oh they are soooo evil.

[paulb]

is (I wish you Would) Come To Your Senses a Radiohead song?

[suprefan]

Yeah, one that was played randomly a while ago, Jonny on banjo......

[paulb]

awesome...that sounds cool.

[suprefan]

Burn The Witch would be the s**t if they did that.

[BlackSwan]

Yeah, one that was played randomly a while ago, Jonny on banjo......

which is weird because doesn't Thom hate the idea of banjos in their music?

[Cdubby]

Burn The Witch would be the s**t if they did that.


huh? is this a possibility?

[suprefan]

He had his Banjo in 2006 in San Diego, everyone was just waiting for somethign to happen.

[iv3rdawG]

"The Rip"... awesome!

[Sexecutioner]

fuck, this thread grows way too fast. its like impossible to keep up with. reminds me of the daft punk thread...

would you fuckers quit it with the live updates already? just wait till the shit is over and then you can start spooging all over each other.

hey sexecutioner, someone is saying they know the line up for Treasure Islandthe Outside Lands thread, but won't tell... aren't you the official police of that? why don't you go there.

personally, if Radiohead soundchecks a Portishead song i want to know about it asap. in

Radiohead soundcheck is fair game to be updated. Main setlist will be posted in full after its over.

[fikus222]

Burn The Witch would be the s**t if they did that.


If I remember correctly, during one of the nights at the Berkeley Greek someone called out for this song and Thom responded by saying that they would do it if they could get an orchestra to do it with them. You can hear this interplay on the recording from the show.

Thom actually started playing it, and it sounded gorgeous. But cut after like 15 seconds and said they would need to find an orchestra to play that one...

[crazzz2007]

ok you diehards, which is the best live recording from the current tour? and link please?? kthnx

[betao]

either the DC one or the West Palm Beach one from what i've heard. I've got the DC one, and its pretty good quality.

The link (for the DC one) is about 2-3 pages back.

[betao]

also, can we confirm that the soundcheck was

Kid A
The Rip
No Surprises
A Wolf At The Door
My Iron Lung
Idioteque
The Gloaming
Bangers N Mash
You Really Got Me

not in that order, but did they soundcheck all of them?

[fikus222]

Paranoid Android
The Rip (Portishead cover)
Kid A
No Surprises
Wolf at the Door
Idioteque
The Gloaming
My Iron Lung
You Really Got Me (covering The Kinks)

ok you diehards, which is the best live recording from the current tour? and link please?? kthnx

what Betao said, but also the Charlotte one is good, if you dont mind it being on the left side of your headphones.




25 minutes

[betao]

... that's a long soundcheck.

[fikus222]

25 minutes

Damn the Central time zone for making us wait longer.

[suprefan]

Finally somebody with a decent eye put photos up. Has to be taken with a canon with image stabalizer, only way to do this.

(I wish you Would) Come To Your Senses

what the hell is that?

[wmgaretjax]

what the hell is that?

A song... At some point (maybe still) involved banjo. Was on the blackboard while they were working through In Rainbows material. It's been soundchecked a couple times. It's been around almost 3 years to my knowledge.

[Sexecutioner]

hey sexecutioner, someone is saying they know the line up for Treasure Islandthe Outside Lands thread, but won't tell... aren't you the official police of that? why don't you go there.

that guy sounds like a real douche ;)


personally, if Radiohead soundchecks a Portishead song i want to know about it asap. in

yea, i hear that. its just annoying when the thread grows by like 100 posts in one night cuz people need to post an update after every fuckin song.


... that's a long soundcheck.

i was thinkin the same thing. REALLY long...

[suprefan]

They get a couple of hours every show to fiddle around, its not as long as you think when you finish a song, then talk to sound people and the crew to do this or that, it just adds up. Myxo was partial and The Kinks thing was only the riff I guess. A lil bit more than halfway through now, show starts at 8:30 cst..

Dead Air Space post, but Jonnys Waste Central page has a big slide whose of pics, I took the screenshot. And I like how the instruments list is next to it. ST 1 is Jonnys main guitar.


edit: well suprise suprise, something just got played that will drive peopel insane.

Something Bends oriented ? Is that what you are referring to ?

Edit:

Cuz if its what I think it was (that you were referring to) I haven't heard it live since '03, you were there Supre.

[Boourns]

I really, really want to hear last flowers.

And is (I wish you Would) Come To Your Senses the song that was soundchecked in San Diego?

[paulb]

Creep? lol

[Boourns]

I hate how atease is completely unloadable during tours because that's the only time that all the filler fans care about Radiohead.

[wmgaretjax]

man... what happened to HTDC?

Something that used to always get played but not this year seems to be back.

Kid A being played is very very cool,.

[Boourns]

House of Cards as a closer still?

[fikus222]

I am referring to My Iron Lung. I think you may be referring to Fake Plastic Trees, am I correct ?

[wmgaretjax]

yeah... they seem to have a fill in the blank thing going on here. Same opener and closer (they generally have a tendency, but they haven't changed opener once)... Bodysnatchers seems to have a constant place on the list and most of the In Rainbows stuff gets laid out quick...

I think this structure will be long gone by US part deux...

[Boourns]

solid setlist. The First Encore is fun. Happy Pyramid Song is in full rotation, but sad that HTDC has dropped off the map...

Kid A being played is very very cool,.

Hopefully HTDC gets played again in LA or SB. And Paranoid Android. Wouldn't miss Kid A if I never heard it again. Is this the first time they skipped playing National Anthem?

Sooo glad I got to hear HTDC in WPB, and Street Spirit as a closer.

[suprefan]

HTDC for Texas ftw

[wmgaretjax]

National Anthem is 4/6 this tour.

http://www.58hours.com/tour_details.php?tour=11

[Boourns]

I am referring to My Iron Lung. I think you may be referring to Fake Plastic Trees, am I correct ?

I was referring to My Iron Lung. I guess they are going to switch between that and Just throughout the tour?

And as for the closers and openers and general setlist placement of certain songs, it's all on purpose. It definitely means something. Nothing is accidental. Look at the lights. Yeah, it's a different setup this year but the songs have the same colored lights as in previous tours.

[suprefan]

National Anthem is 4/6 this tour.

http://www.58hours.com/tour_details.php?tour=11

Better be 6 for 8 after this weekend. I have only not heard it one time.


Im gonna be reporting for 58 hours Saturday, so that info should update fast, I text quick.


edit: check setlist again...... suprise suprise

[Cdubby]

my iron lung is very awesome

that is a great setlist

[Boourns]

FUCKING SWEET! I hope all the setlists from now on contain 25 songs. That's just three less than Bonnaroo and that Salamanca gig where Thom took requests, right?

I cannot imagine Paranoid Android as a closer. Oh man. If they had closed with that in Tampa I totally would have knocked down security and rushed the stage for it.

[betao]

If The National Anthem got played, that would be pretty damn close to my ideal setlist. My god, that is nice.

I wouldve been behind you buddy, you block Ill jump over the gaurds.

[wmgaretjax]

Are they done? Have they every closed with paranoid?

[Boourns]

Didn't they soundcheck "Blow Out" and "Everybody Hurts" at the Hollywood Bowl in 2003?

[suprefan]

No, they havent, and they are done for sure...

[wmgaretjax]

better closer...

[Sushov23]

still no black star. I'm losing hope for that song getting played. It's cool though, Fake Plastic Trees, and Planet Telex are in there so it's cool.

[paulb]

sick closer...

[wmgaretjax]

still no black star. I'm losing hope for that song getting played. It's cool though, Fake Plastic Trees, and Planet Telex are in there so it's cool.

WPB won already. lol But seriously, I closed my eyes and cried during this ...

so I completely fucked up my video recording. Anyway, got it in full (yeah, crappy though).

[suprefan]

WPB won already. lol But seriously, I closed my eyes and cried during this ...


Well it hasnt been played for a while now, thus why..

[idrive1life]

Like what Boourns mentioned, I'm really happy now that WPB got it with Street Spirit (Fade Out) as closer. Yeah, I was also in the brink of ... during SS. But now that I've been thinking about it, SS was the perfect closer for that show.

[suprefan]

Unless we get something epic to finish this all off. And no coming to Texas..............

[BlackSwan]

kid a and closing with paranoid is awesome, but overall i am not into this one. no love for amnesiac. would rather have just and national anthem back in there too.

[fikus222]

I think this structure will be long gone by US part deux...

Agreed. I'm still waiting on Climbing Up the Walls to get thrown into the mix.

[wmgaretjax]

Agreed. I'm still waiting on Climbing Up the Walls to get thrown into the mix.

jesus yeah... I honestly have my fingers crossed for a new song or two as well.

[suprefan]

Since they are at least trying out more OKC, it woudl be nice if Climbing happend this weekend..

[fikus222]

jesus yeah... I honestly have my fingers crossed for a new song or two as well.

That would be epic, but imo unlikely. I say that only because I don't think that they would play songs that they weren't really sure about or were in their early stages of development.

[wmgaretjax]

That would be epic, but imo unlikely. I say that only because I don't think that they would play songs that they weren't really sure about or were in their early stages of development.

there are at least 6 contenders from the In Rainbows sessions that were worked on heavily in the studio process that were never pulled out... Some of them may be pretty close to fruition... Who knows... They have more tour rehearsels after this leg, maybe some new shit will get added.

i'm surprised they havent played Down Is The New Up yet.

[suprefan]

Saturday, Sunday, its coming.................. Plenty of time to shove in a bunch of tracks for the Texas faithful.

[ghettojournalist]

Rolling Stone reported that Radiohead were rehearsing up to 70 songs for this tour, with some new songs included, so there is plenty of room left.

Rolling Stone reported that Radiohead were rehearsing up to 70 songs for this tour, with some new songs included, so there is plenty of room left.

Rolling stone didnt continue with that number. 70 to start, cut down to 55 to rotate on the tour. 41 played so far, 9 soundchecked but not played, 5 left in theory.

[rage patton]

What the fuck? They soundchecked The Rip? Jesus... that song was so fucking gorgeous at Coachella. I can only imagine what Radiohead playing it would sound like.

[JSam67]

That song reminds me so much of Radiohead, it would be beyond awesome to hear their rendition. Also, closing with Paranoid is unbelievable.

i don't get why everyone digs Fake Plactic Trees and My Iron Lung so much, I listened to those songs enough in 5th grade and have very little desire to see them live... more tracks off OK Computer, Kid A and Amnesiac please

stop spooging on me ******...

I agree about My Iron Lung, Fake Plastic is just so damn good live though... The only song I give a damn about off The Bends live.

[Sexecutioner]

stop spooging on me ******...


woops, sorry. hope i didnt get you in the eye...

ill take as many bends songs as they can dish out. and fake plastic is one of the most beautiful songs ever, especially live, so i dont care how many times ive heard it, its just as amazing every time. especially the end, when they start rockin out...blows my mind every time. i love the version on the glastonbury dvd, 03 i think?

yes on my iron lung

I take either or both of those if we could keep the In Rainbows stuff down to 8 songs - all ten is a bit much.

[amyzzz]

ten is PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!! so shut up.

[BlackSwan]

ten is PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!! so shut up.

just as a note to the previous conversation... i just listened to In Rainbows again and did some exhaustive tests and it is now a scientific fact that it is not their best album... sorry.

[C DUB YA]

what Black Swan Said.

[C DUB YA]

And ten might be too much - nothing is a bad thing mind you - but when your catalog is as immense and diverse as their catalog is now - they should dig a little deeper.

[C DUB YA]

ten is PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!! so shut up.

No. I think 8 is perfect. No need to tell me to shut up though, jeez.

[ghettojournalist]

just as long as i get to hear "Jigsaw" and "Videotape".

[betao]

we could compromise and say 9.

just sayin'

[C DUB YA]

we could compromise and say 9.

just sayin'

does that include something from disc 2? If so then they get eight from disc 1 and then 1 from disc 2

[C DUB YA]

just as long as i get to hear "Jigsaw" and "Videotape".

Agreed

[BlackSwan]

imo 5 from In Rainbows is enough... 15 Step, Bodysnatches, Bangers + Mash, Jigsaw... then whatever other one you fancy... but come on, stop opening with All I Need... the somewhat predictable set structure is a real bitch because the the stuff that you hope would be predictable isn't... like playing National Anthem every night...

[betao]

does that include something from disc 2? If so then they get eight from disc 1 and then 1 from disc 2

the only ones I really wanted to hear from IR:

15 Step
Bodysnatchers
Videotape
Arpeggi
House of Cards
Nude
Down is the New Up
4 Minute Warning (this song is downright brilliant imo)

In Bristow, they played all of Disc 1, along with Bangers N Mash. I was pretty happy with it.

[BlackSwan]

this site is awesome by the way....

If there was a guarantee that the songs they wouldn't play would be faust arp and house of cards, I could agree. Everything else must stay. But I'd like to keep those if I had my druthers.

[tubescape]

The stars at night, are big and bright (clap, clap, clap, clap)....

[Sexecutioner]

my IR requests:

bodysnatchers
nude
all i need
house of cards
jigsaw
bangers + mash

[anti-square]

you forgot Reckoner.

[amyzzz]

The thread is being listed to death.

[Sexecutioner]

you forgot Reckoner.

no i didnt.

[BlackSwan]

The thread is being listed to death.

makes me want to make a list of my favorite threads...

[Boourns]

Reckoner is easily the best song on In Rainbows. Last Flowers is easily the best song on the bonus disc. Down Is The New Up is easily the best song live.

very bad. If you're going to come down all the way from SF, you should pay for better tickets on ebay.

[Sexecutioner]

i was gonna say that too, but it didn't really seem helpful.

true. how about this:

i saw dave matthews on the lawn there last summer, and it wasnt all that bad. i mean, you are really far away, but it still sounded alright. it was louder than i was expecting it to be up there. you will still probably be able to have a good view of their light show from up there, you just wont be able to see the details of the band members, except maybe on the big screens. its not the optimal way to see a show, but if its between that and not going, id get the lawn seats. but if i were you id try to buy some real seats from a scalper in the parking lot.

[fikus222]

Thanks everybody, we are seeing Radiohead at Outside Lands, so we will have already seen Radiohead up close, this is just an attempt to do another show on some sort of, insert evil word here, budget.

What I am mostly concerned about is the sound quality, which the consensus seems to have decided is fair/good.

Edit:

When I saw Radiohead at the Shoreline in '03 I totally snoozed on the tix and saw the show from the lawn and my friends and I still had a grand ole time.

[davrone]

RADIOHEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2 DAYS!!!

wow, too many absolutes. live a little.

[iv3rdawG]

Have fun guys.

[Boourns]

Listening to the WPB bootleg now.

"TRUE LOVE WAITS!" Ha, if only.

But on that note, anyone think it will get played this year?

[Boourns]

Seat assignments will be emailed on May 30th. Tickets will be mailed mid June/ Early July.





Texas bitches!!!

[superfiction]

oh yeah august is just around the corner....you bastards.

[wmgaretjax]

seems they've soundchecked "The Rip" again, as well as "Dollars and Cents" and "Wolf at the Door." Hope those last two sneak onto setlists in the future.

And motherfucking "Climbing Up the Walls"... about time.

possible new song again... no one recognized it.

[Boourns]

The Rip, Wolf at the Door, Climbing Up the Walls are all welcome additions to any setlist. But I doubt The Rip will actually get played.

[wmgaretjax]

The Rip, Wolf at the Door, Climbing Up the Walls are all welcome additions to any setlist. But I doubt The Rip will actually get played.

maybe a webcast in the future... or a radio appearance. I doubt it will make it onto one of the large shows' setlist.

[fikus222]

The Soundcheck according to 58hours (Suprefan is doing live updates):

15 Step
Jigsaw Falling into Place
Karma Police
Weird Fishes/Arpeggi
The Rip (Portishead cover)
Wolf at the Door
Dollars and Cents

I agree that the Rip will prolly not be played during one of these shows, but what a treat that would be.


Edit:

It's about time Climbing up the Walls gets played.

They really need to start playing Down Is The New Up. It's so awesome live.

[Sexecutioner]

sorry to hate, but that setlist sucks.

[IdiotequeThom]

sorry to hate, but that setlist sucks.

seriously? besides there being 1 less song than the last few shows, I think it's pretty solid. why don't you like it?

[Boourns]

Climbing Up the Walls is awesome.

[luckyface]

sorry to hate, but that setlist sucks.

I would take tonight's setlist over most that have been played thus far, for sure.

[Sushov23]

this is the 3rd best set list so far.

[Boourns]

Street Spirit has only been played twice so far, which is really surprising. And only once did it close the show. Ahhh...WPB. Street Spirit, Bulletproof, HTDC, Lucky, the return of Optimistic, Just...what a lovely show.

[suprefan]

Well hey suckers, that was sick. We freaked when Clmbing came on. Got a setlist, The Tourist and Exit Music were options to be played, but they werent..... Taking break and at our hotel. We are first in line, got our asses into town at 4:30am and dealt with bums, hookers and crack seekers(no joke) Orbit is hanging out too in line with us, should be fun. I love texas, best trip ever............................... Pics in a bit, gonna try and edit a lil while I have time on ThomThoms lappy.



p.s. National Anthem has the best lights you will ever see all year for any show.

[betao]

how would one go about obtaining a set list, just out of curiosity? do you have certain ins or is it something that just isn't well known?

the stage crews usually have a few copies of them, and if you stick around when the show ends and ask them, they'll give you copies.

[Boourns]

[Boourns]

I could do without Dollars & Cents this tour. But hell yes to Wolf at the Door.

[TonyWonder]

Great show...Wolf at the Door was excellent. Enjoyed hearing The Bends. Paranoid Android is a great closer.

[C DUB YA]

yeah Paranoid is a perfect closer - much better than house of cards

This is the best set list have I have seen so far.

[microcuts]

sorry to hate, but that setlist sucks.

I don't really care for any of these setlists, to be quite honest. Is In Rainbows really that omgamazing that they need to play all 10 cuts from it every night (plus some of the bonus tracks)? (A: No, it's not)

[amyzzz]

yeah it is.

[TonyWonder]

I enjoy hearing any Radiohead song live that I haven't heard them play so the entirety of In Rainbows + Bangers & Mash was welcome.

I doubt they'll play all of In Rainbows both nights of APW so that should allow for two amazing setlists.

[wmgaretjax]

I think it should be split between two consecutive nights that are nearby, with a couple songs overlapped (maybe nude, arpeggi, all i need)...

[Young blood]

APW is going to insane.

Im guessing "the rip" will be played there.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

APW is going to insane.

Im guessing "the rip" will be played there.

THAT is what I like to hear!!! I will fucking die if they play the rip....

[amyzzz]

I think I'm going to make a shirt: "PLEASE PLAY THE RIP AND WE WILL ALL DIE IN ECSTASY!"

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

I think I'm going to make a shirt: "PLEASE PLAY THE RIP AND WE WILL ALL DIE IN ECSTASY!"

You make it and I will wear one too...and maybe play Unravel...

[bartelby]

I think I'm going to make a shirt: "PLEASE PLAY THE RIP AND WE WILL ALL DIE IN ECSTASY!"

fuck yes!

i can't wait for APW

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

fuck yes!

i can't wait for APW

oh shit..I didn't know you were going too! we'll have to have a APW meet up...

[TonyWonder]

The Rip or Unravel would be unreal..One of 'em is getting played.

Oooor, maybe they'll return the favor and cover a Prince song..heh.

[jigsaw]

in rainbows is omgamazing!!!

[Sexecutioner]

I don't really care for any of these setlists, to be quite honest. Is In Rainbows really that omgamazing that they need to play all 10 cuts from it every night (plus some of the bonus tracks)? (A: No, it's not)

i concur. i dont want to hear the whole fuckin new album each night. they should pick 6 or so and then delve deeper into their huge back catalog...

[jigsaw]

omgzzzzzzzz

[jigsaw]

I love in rainbows except for the chupacabra song...

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

The Rip or Unravel would be unreal..One of 'em is getting played.

Oooor, maybe they'll return the favor and cover a Prince song..heh.

Are you only going 1 night to APW?

[TonyWonder]

Are you only going 1 night to APW?

We bought tickets for Friday because Underworld -> Radiohead was far too powerful to resist. We were going to find something else to do that Saturday but after that Radiohead show last night, I'm thinking it may be stupid of me not to go Saturday since we'll be in New York all week. This trip is getting more and more expensive.

Ah don't worry about the cost...I am just hoping that Sunday doesn't get good...then it will start getting ugly in terms of finances..

[TonyWonder]

I am just hoping that Sunday doesn't get good...then it will start getting ugly in terms of finances..

I'm not too worried about that..it's a long way from good right now ($90 good anyway). Adding Robyn, or whoever is rumored, isn't going to cut it:)

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

I'm not too worried about that..it's a long way from good right now. Adding Robyn isn't going to cut it:)

yeah Robyn isn't going to cut it for me either....it is going to be so dead as it stands now...if Coachella's Friday night after the verve is anything to go by...

[Boourns]

i concur. i dont want to hear the whole fuckin new album each night. they should pick 6 or so and then delve deeper into their huge back catalog...

Yeah. How about this:
6 songs from IR played every single night: All I Need, Nude, Reckoner, Arpeggi, 15 Step, Bodysnatchers
1-2 of the following IR songs every single night: Jigsaw, Videotape, House of Cards, Faust Arp (mixing it up night to night)
1-2 of the following bonus disc songs each night: DITNU, Bangers & Mash, Go Slowly, Last Flowers, etc (mixing it up night to night)

[Sushov23]

everyone has their favs from In Rainbows. For me House of Cards is a must, as is Video Tape, so what to do? Them playing the whole album is awesome, and they have every right to do that.

[BlackSwan]

Yes In Rainbows is a good album, but definitely not their best. They need to start switching it up more because in Houston they opened with 15 Step and Bodysnatchers and I guess they have been playing them so much they just blew right through them.

It was kind of a bummer since they are two of my favorites from the new album and it would have been nice to hear them with a little more intensity. That, and they fact that they didn't play Paranoid Android where my only two crticisms. Beyond that, the show was epic. No words can really describe it, but they all looked like the were having a blast and so did I. Half of the show I was seriously just standing there in awe. Especially Thom on You and Whose Army? It felt like his eyes were piercing into my soul.... and it was awesome.

[jigsaw]

In Rainbows makes Paranoid Andriod look pretty ugly...








Why didn't you play my favorite song?

Im in Phoenix, its 105, Im glad Im not outside....


This weekend ruled, shows kicked major ass, stop hating that it looked weak on paper. If you werent there, dont complain. They had such a killer performance of their songs last night, Thom ran around, jumped up and down and the band just enjoyed themselves immensely. Drug dealers, Bums, Crack heads, Hookers, Hilarious fast food service clerks, midnight driving through Texas highways, that was only yesterday..... More to come........

I actually loved the set list you got on Sat Supre, sunday was WEAK sauce though compared to the other set lists on the first part of the tour. Still it's RADIOHEAD, a weak set list matters not.

[ThomThom]

I actually loved the set list you got on Sat Supre, sunday was WEAK sauce though compared to the other set lists on the first part of the tour. Still it's RADIOHEAD, a weak set list matters not.

The set list is a tad misleading, Sunday's show in Dallas was fucking intense from a performance standpoint, much more than Saturday's in Houston.

Although I heard a ton about Austin (I hope to go there very soon), Houston and Dallas have got to be strong competitors for the "armpits" of the United States. Sweet christ I hate Texas.

On a side note, it was a pleasure meeting both BlackSwan and Orbit. Oh and Jared, for your sake, I pray they play Climbing Up the Walls in Vancouver and/or Seattle. That song is of extremely epic proportions live.

[bartelby]

oh shit..I didn't know you were going too! we'll have to have a APW meet up...

this could happen...

i definitely think APW's gonna get some special shit what with basically 40-50 songs to work with

also - Idioteque must have been a fucking KILLER set closer

[wmgaretjax]

Oh and Jared, for your sake, I pray they play Climbing Up the Walls in Vancouver and/or Seattle. That song is of extremely epic proportions live.

Yeah, seriously. I've seen it twice before and it has completely wrecked me both times. Glad the shows kicked ass.

Sasha, Chris... How did the shows compare to the previous times you've seen them. You both sound pretty stoked on the performances, typical Radiohead, or even better?

[IdiotequeThom]

Ahhhh really? How was Dallas "fucking intense" compared to Houston? SHIT! What did I miss (besides them closing with Paranoid Android, I KNEW THAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN!!!)? You and Whose Army? was really cool in Houston tho, the whole Thom eye thing was really intense.

I have to concur, Houston was god-aweful. There is a really nice part near Rice University (went to a really good restaurant around there), but besides that, especially the areas surrounding the city, it's horrible. On a positive note though The Woodlands is a great venue and it was very good to finally meet you too.

[ThomThom]

Sasha, Chris... How did the shows compare to the previous times you've seen them. You both sound pretty stoked on the performances, typical Radiohead, or even better?

Saturday @ Houston = With the exception of Planet Telex, National Anthem (from our seats),The Gloaming, and Climbing Up the Walls... The norm.

Sunday @ Dallas = Fucking ape shit from start to finish.

You know when people say they are "In the zone"? Well, they were Michael fucking Jordan in Dallas. From start to finish they were just completely on point and along with the fantastic crowd it was easily one of the better Radiohead shows I have been to in a long time. They were really into every single song as well as the crowd, they definitely did not just "get through" any of the tracks, which they have done before, Houston on Saturday is a good example of that.

Which other ones do you think they just got through? I haven't seen them enough to really judge it that well... 15 Step and Bodysnatchers seemed like that, but I didn't really notice it in any of the others.

[garrett222]

Ok, work is hasseling me about taking off the week of my radiohead shows, so i'm thinking about going to outside lands instead and selling my tix.

[dontfeedthebird]

in dallas, i was surrounded by bros. however, they were into the set, they got me high, and funny enough, they high-fived me at the end of the show.
