They've been sound checking Optimistic in this tour, will they play it? Will they fuck.

Yep been waiting for it to pop up all tour (and secretly hoping it was gonna come at Glastonbury). Shame - would've loved for that to be brought back. Was the instant favourite (for obvious reasons) on my first few listens through Kid A.

This isn't a "Aren't Radiohead so fucking brilliant post"...well, maybe...but are there any other bands around that could have everyone on tenterhooks with regards to what songs there going to play on a tour that's over a year old?

 

 

Well most bands don't vary their setlists as much as Radiohead do.

 

Buf mostly it's just because Radiohead fans are mental. As evidenced by this thread

This is nothing compared to the setlist agonies and ecstasies that Springsteen fans go through

Fair enough, didn't think about him. I only own one Bruce album - Nebraska. Can't imagine he plays much off that?

Bob Dylan probably puts his fans through the ringer too, I imagine. Even if you get your favourite tune on the night, he's liable to do a 23-minute "reworking" of it.

[CaledonianGonzo]

He's actually liable to dip into Nebraska fairly regularly, albeit usually the same 2 or 3 songs - I think he's played Johnny 99 at just about every show I've ever seen.  He was doing a rollicking big band version of Open All Night a few years back.

In recent years Dylan's sets have become fairly static, but back in the day he definitely also mixed it up a bit.

[The Red Telephone]

Nebraska is a great album, albeit one I'm likely to stick on on a Sunday morning hangover/ comedown. Mad to think he went from that to Born In The USA in 3/4 years. I should investigate him more really.

Springsteen/ Dylan/ Radiohead then?

Nearest tram station that goes to Old Trafford from Oxford Rd is Deansgate,isn't it? 

Sorry. Just seen this. Went from Exchange Square

[FloorFiller]

Anybody any idea which gate is for front standing? Absolute mess here.

Luck of the draw with Bruce. Due to his pledge to play The River in full across America last year, the US arena setlists were fairly static. 

But then by the time he crashed into Europe, it was anybody's guess again. Picked out a cover of CCR's Travelin' Band on a whim the night I caught him.

FUCK.

[SwedgeAntilles]

Trolling us good and proper. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Same again on Friday, please.

[FloorFiller]

Is the front bit actually sectioned off from the general admission? Got here late and have just got stuck in the general bit but with front tickets but can't really see a way forward 

edit: never mind sorted

Take it they haven't played Desert Island Disk?

[kaytee...]

Really wishing I took the offer of a 30 quid ticket now

[ThomThomDrum]

Holy shit! Let Down first! WOW. What a start to a gig. Followed by Lucky... 

 

[ThomThomDrum]

What a set list thus far Unreal! 

[Chawk]

The band clearly read this thread, remember people extolling how good Daydreaming would be as an encore opener!

[Madyaker]

Opening with Let Down! That's mental! I hope you're all having a blast.

[FloorFiller]

HOLY SHIT!

[SwedgeAntilles]

Oh good lord.

[russycarps]

Cannot wait to read the reports on this...

[Wooderson]

No Reckoner, no party.
