Would be pretty cool but the problem is the crowd would be pretty disinterested. They'd have to have at least a semi-regular flow of recognisable songs through the set for that to not be getting case.

True. But that didn't bother them in 2010. Even if they broke it up like on this tour, and played 3-4 songs each time...

No but they weren't playing a Pyramid sub slot before Adele...

[Hugh Jass]

Bit of a headache this morning, but last night was... really fucking good.

Loved Daydreaming (you could have heard a pin drop in the crowd during that song), Myxymatosis, Idioteque, Street Spirit, Weird Fishes and of course Karma Police to finish.

My only gripe was how weak Burn The Witch sounded without a string section. Hopefully they'll get on in for GF.

Aye Burn the Witch really needs those strings. The live version without them just doesn't quite do it. If they're on before Adele then they'll surely have the full shebang

I've kind of been enjoying jonny sawing away tbh. Sounds way more discordant and menacing.

Say they get 15 songs for the sake of argument, I reckon 5 would be off the new album, 1 from TKOL, 2 from In Rainbows, 2 from HTTT, 2 from Kid A, 2 from OKC and one from either The Bends, Amnesiac or Creep.

Burn the Witch, Daydreaming, Ful Stop, Identikit, The Numbers

Lotus Flower

Reckoner, Weird Fishes/Arpeggi

There There, Myxomatosis

Idioteque, Everything in its Right Place

Paranoid Android, Airbag

Street Spirit 

 

Works for me.

Ah I was trying to avoid starting the whole 'Glastonbury setlist' lists again but you had to go and do it! 

That's exactly what I was thinking tbh. 

Of course what will actually happen is we'll get Tinker Tailor instead of Ful Stop, Bloom instead of Reckoner and Gloaming instead of Myxo.

Why has Radiohead gone back to unknown day :(

I was there last night and agree that BTW was weak. However in Amsterdam last weekend I thought it was probably the most powerful song. To be honest I thought the sound last night was far too quiet generally. 

And a personal moan that they didn't play Reckoner or There There.

Karma Police was bloody great though, probably my fave time seeing that since Glasto 03.

Can anyone else see them coming out and doing a Reading '09 at Glastonbury? Smashing through a storming greatest hits set

yeah, tho more about thinking ahead than now.

I realised that if RH aren't announced for the Pyramid it's likely to be assumed that the chances of RH are zero - when I don't think that's the case. I remain confident they'll play somewhere, even if it's not the Pyramid.

I still think they'll probably play before Adele - tho that's more about the accumulative effect of lots of bits of uncertain info than specific knowledge, more of a feeling. I shouldn't be putting bands in slots on the basis of a feeling rather than specific knowledge.

 

 

[pastorofmuppets]

If they played with the LCO (or any other string section), surely they'd pick the older songs that would benefit most from it?

How To Disappear Completely and Fake Plastic Trees come to mind.

God, why do I put these thoughts in my head? I'm just going to end up disappointed

Tbh, the set Will suggested kinda is that.

I actually can. There are easily enough of them in rotation and imagine the press it'll get if they do an unannounced set and smash through a set full of Creep, Just, No Surprises, etc.

[Hugh Jass]

I still maintain that Street Spirit with strings would be sublime.

[arcade fireman]

Problem with a greatest hits set is that'd be the last time we would hear of them at Glastonbury for at least 5 years. At least doing something a bit different opens up a chance of them playing properly next year.

Haha I almost picked The Gloaming as I was trying to be realistic (hence no Let Down). Bloom is a banger but yeah instead of Reckoner would just be classic Radiohead.

[SwedgeAntilles]

Reckoner is my favourite song. I'd be properly gutted if they didn't play it. The more In Rainbows the better.

Nope your wrong. A bell end with a phone in the air in front of others are still a bell end.  

I've never seen a gig on YouTube and thought it was worth being that person with a phone in front of their face. 

Either enjoy a live gig or listen to the Lp but a shit stream is still a shit stream. 

You joyless person. 

I meant that the technology that that means someone can stream a gig on their mobile phone live across the world is amazing.

Her phone wasn't in the air or in front of her face. She was high on the balcony and watched the gig whilst pointing her phone down to the stage.

For those of us who didn't get tickets, it was great. And it wasn't a dodgy stream, sound quality was very good.

Yeah exactly, it'd be a bit of an anticlimax if they turned up unannounced as special guests and went through a load of obscure stuff to a largely disinterested crowd.

TONIGHT

I am excited.

[sheffieldlady]

Last night was incredible. Wish I was brave enough to meet up with fellow eFests folk but oh well.

Loved the set list, they also seemed to be enjoying themselves on stage to. Endin on Karma Police was a shock, I thought we were going to get one more song but perfect ending. Plenty of crowd pleasers to. Daydreaming was beautiful - silences all around. Love the live version of Ful Stop but Burn The Witch is better with strings. 

Pretty cool venue is Roundhouse as well.  

I am sure others who went last night will put together a better summary then me! 

Went to the pub before hand and got chatting to someone who is a fellow Glastonbury goer (never did ask if they were on here!) they said that on Thursday apparently Thom responded to Glastonbury heckles - is that true or is it bullshit?

Thought BTW was great first night myself. Haunting and as someone Lee said menacing
