Radiohead

...surely it's on atease?

Edit: Just checked and it is...I won't post the link since I've had this discussion with Neil before, and even though Radiohead have no problem with their live material being shared by fans, it's frowned upon here...but you'll find the full BBC broadcast there (so 14 out of the 23 songs)...there's also some extras posted too, so most of the set seems to be available.

To be honest apart from ordering there isn't too much difference. Neither are particularly 'hit' heavy. Reading got Karma Police and Creep, however Leeds got Street Spirit. Both are good sets, and having seen Radiohead on a number of occasions i actually think Leeds got the better live songs (e.g. Airbag, Morning Bell are both immense live).

Both fantastic setlists. I am gutted to have missed out on both.

To hear people complaining about those set lists makes me sad.

Some people really should stick to the killers and kings of leon.

I'm a huge Radiohead fan but I thought the Leeds set was very badly judged for a festival set. A lot of the crowd ebbed away. Technically they were great but it didn't make for a great atmosphere. There's an art to entertaining a festival set, one they demonstrated perfectly at Glastonbury 2003 but failed to show at Leeds this year

Interesting discussion regarding the Reading and Leeds sets. I'm a massive fan of both old and new Radiohead, so they could have played a set entirely consisting of Kid A and Hail to the Thief album tracks and I'd be happy. I was at Reading, and thought it was a fantastic setlist and performance from them, up there with the best I've ever seen. I think it struck the right balance between promoting the new album (which is probably my favourite,) some of the highlights of the post OK Computer stuff, and the bigger songs. However, in Reading we got three or four of their bigger songs which Leeds didn't. Maybe if Leeds had just had those, it would have made the people expecting more older stuff happier.

On the topic of Radiohead, is it just me who prays for a return for Electioneering, unlikely as it is?

If you don't class National Anthem, There There and Lucky as 'big' radiohead songs then i'm not sure what others you put in this category. You genuinely can't expect them to play loads off the Bends and OK computer when they were released well over a decade ago and they've written 4 very successful albums since!?

Blur were doing a one-off reunion series of gigs so of course were going to play a greatest hits set.

Why on earth would radiohead do the same?

The fact that so-called "big radiohead fans" are saying the leeds set list was disappointing suggests they they actually mean they are big fans of ok computer and the bands. These albums represent only a fraction of the bands output these days. There is no possible reason for them to play heavily from those 2 albums. Sorry about that.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
