Dear Radiohead

[PointBlank]

This set convinced me that I'm not as big a Radiohead fan as I thought.

[Tupper]

Thanks. Actress-lost sounds right....Keep em coming.

This set convinced me that I'm not as big a Radiohead fan as I thought.

It actually solidified my status as a fan. I enjoyed this set far more than I did seeing them for the first time in 2008. Perhaps that's because I did my homework, going through their entire discography and realizing songs I didn't used to like actually sounded good to me now. Still not crazy about The Gloaming, but it has its qualities. It also helps that this time I didn't drag along people who ultimately don't appreciate the band.

Why are so many people bitching about Radiohead's set? did they mostly play King of Limbs or what? (I'm going Weekend 2)

Because people have been bitching about Radiohead setlists since 1997.

[Grant]

i only caught idioteque but from what i heard i thought they sounded a bit flat. caught them in 2008 and it was amazing but i never heard idioteque.

I sincerely hope that none of the insufferable cunts in this thread convince any of you weekend 2ers from missing the best set of the festival.

This is why Coachella 2012 sucks, Radiohead's lame act was the best of the festival.

Coachella peaked like Al Bundy in high school.

What was the electronic music they were playing before Radiohead? It sounds like the type of stuff Thom & Co. would be into. Anyone recognize it?

Some of it was from the album XI versions of Black Noise by Pantha Du Prince

Yes it was! Thanks again for that, and if anyone else recognizes tunes from the PA before Radiohead put em up......That 20 mins was the best EDM set I saw all weekend.

Radiohead, many hits of various hallucinogens, and I had the absolute best Coachella night of my life. They built an app in my brain. No foolsies.

Well look who showed up.

[thelastgreatman]

Somebody had to come straighten this shit out. This new crop of newbs aren't being regulated properly.

[Moonraker]

Thank you Radiohead for playing what you wanted to and pissing off all the casual fans that can't be bothered to listen to anything except Creep and Karma Police

[gaypalmsprings]

Thom wants to be a DJ.

I'll try harder Randy.

[thelastgreatman]

It's alright dude, I have some very large, very hate-filled shoes to fill.

[DANCE MAGIC]

I'm just hoping that, since Radiohead played Coachella, everyone can shut the fuck up about them for a few years.

This.

[heart cooks brain]

I wonder when they'll come back?

[JoeCthulhu]

What I'm getting out of this thread is that Radiohead is/has become the band everyone loves to hate. But with over 7 pages of posts of mostly negative comments, I think thou dost protest too much.

For me they played a variety of tunes stretching over most of their career. The almost 2-hour performance was one of the best I've experienced, and the best of the weekend by a far margin.

I agree KOL is not their best album, but it still managed to rank in my top 5 of 2011.

1. Portugal the Man - In the Mountains In the Clouds
2. The Horrors - Skying
3. Radiohead - King of Limbs
4. Let's Wrestle - Nursing Home
5. The Black Keys - El Camino

I'm a big fan of Radiohead's older stuff (like most of you on this board) and never really got into In Rainbows, but I enjoyed every second of their set on Saturday, it was one of the best shows I've seen in a long time. Thom's voice is absolutely incredible live.

...Or you have people who were disappointed with their setlist at Coachella.
