Radiohead (Official Thread)

[ComfortablyNumb]

^ no it wasn't they played two nites at roseland NYC it was the first time since the 90's I missed there NYC show (well at least one if they did a series). I've got tickets to see them at coachella music festival next month and then in may in NJ.

Hard to say what is the best Radiohead show for me? Too many great ones. Ok computer tour was first time I saw them small venue and amazing setlist. The two shows in aug 01 in liberty state park were both amazing and since a month later the twin towers went down those show were memories as that show was the last show I took a picture of the twin towers. The 2003 tour was also crazy. Radiohead is my favorite live band in the past 15 years.

I was talking about Occupy Wall Street. Shoulda been a bit more clear.

^^Having never seen them live I'll take your word for them putting on a great show AK...however they will have to go a long way to get me interested in anything they release from now on...King of Limbs was a disaster the most boring album from a band I like in recent memory, and I don't care if they are good live that's no excuse for lobbing rubbish out there when expectations were so high.

Besides,,,they haven't toured here in a long time if ever.

Definitely one of the best live bands that I ever saw, but I'm reading just some pretty mixed/terrible reviews of the new tour, some said the show was too boring, and that the band wasn’t playing enough music from their early catalogue. Looking at the set list they pretty much play the whole of the King of Limbs album except for I think one track, and there's no Street Spirit, Fake Plastic Trees, Karma Police, Everything in it's Right Place, No Surprises, Creep, in fact all my favourites have been dumped. So I'll be interested to hear what Aktivator makes of them after he's seen them.

I hope that's not the case TheSound....I got my tickets last week and I never even bought "King Of Limbs" after hearing how bad it was from so many people. I'll be very disappointed if they cut all of those songs from their setlist too because they're a lot of my faves as well....

This is the setlist as is from a concert they just played last night...

1. Bloom
2. 15 Step
3. Airbag
4. Little by Little
5. Myxomatosis

7. Morning Mr. Magpie
8. Pyramid Song
9. The Daily Mail
10. Weird Fishes/Arpeggi
11. Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box (First time since 2001)
12. Identikit
13. Lotus Flower
14. There There
15. Feral
16. Idioteque

Encore:
17. How to Disappear Completely
18. Kid A
19. Lucky
20. Bodysnatchers

Encore 2:
21. Give Up the Ghost

There are only 6 or 7 out of the 23 that I'm actually happy to see.....

Ha yea I never believed that rumor hehe

 

[Aktivator]

LG, the sound and CN I agree king of limbs is not a good album but until I hear thespngs live I'm still holding back my real option of the album. By the way it's just one album I wouldn't be surprised if the next one is good (if there is one)

Hadn't seen the setlist until now yeah KOL heavy not surprised as they have gone very electronica now. However encore looks great and bring back Sardines is awesome. While I'm not expecting the greatness of the past 15 years live shows I find it hard to believe it will be bad.

 

[Cosmic Harmony]

I am absolutely heartbroken that they aren't playing ANY songs from "The Bends", not even "Fake Plastic Trees". I think.......Radiohead is trying really hard to make people hate them.

 

[LG]

^^I feel bad for you Cosmic, I know how much you wanted to see them this time around.

It's ridiculous how they've gone so far out there just to prevent being the next U2...just as an example.

They have lost me as far as studio albums go now...unless you all tell me the next one is the long lost relative of OK Computer I won't bother with it.

 

[Cosmic Harmony]

Well.....good or bad I'm still going. I already have my ticket. By them not playing any songs from my favorite album by them though...I just kind of wonder if the band is looking at "The Bends" the same way as "Pablo Honey" now.

If they can bring back "Creep" after how many years of hating it then why would they nix almost all of their most popular songs. It boggles my mind...

 

[Cosmic Harmony]

I know most Radiohead fans hate "Pablo Honey" but I really like some of the songs on it like "Blow Out".

It took over a month but my Radiohead tickets finally came in the mail so I'm officially going now. So to get ready I have finally been getting around to listening to "King of Limbs" since it's going to be the bulk of their setlist. I first heard it through their "King of Limbs - Live From The Basement" concert and while I found a lot of it pretty boring there was one track that stood out to me called "The Daily Mail". SO I actually head out and pick up the album, get home, and see that "The Daily Mail" isn't even on the album. What the ****?

Anyway, here's the song...
