Radiohead

[Vieuphoria]

...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).

[Mardy]

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.

[russycarps]

Can I not dislike Radiohead, Kings of Leon and the Killers?

[Mardy]

Yes, but only if you dislike ALL radiohead.

If you only like the radiohead "hits" then you must also like kings of leon and killers.

It's quite complex.

[russycarps]

ahhh, OK, I'm with you. Sorry about that. I apologise

Actually, there is one radiohead song I quite like, erm 'How I could disappear' or something.

where does that put me (apart from firmly in the 'annoying c**ts' camp?)

[Toilet Duck]

hmm I think you mean how to disappear completely?

This means you dont like radiohead, nor killers and kings of leon, but DO like coldplay. And muse.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news

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

I still really want to see radiohead

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?

Leeds only got Paranoid Android and Just, they were the only two big songs whilst Reading also got Creep, Karma Police and Street Spirit.

And Electioneering would be great! Also, Anyone Can Play Guitar would be fantastic to hear too.

[ericlered]

I saw both Leeds and Reading and much preferred the Reading set

[VCK]

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!?

[Craigston]

[russycarps]

Alright, chill out!

They're all famous songs but not as big as the other ones I mentioned. It's like comparing Out Of Time, For Tomorrow or Tender to Parklife or Song 2.

[LondonTom]

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.

[russycarps]

Because thats why they have as many fans as they do and not the other rubbish they have produced?, because at a festival its not there fans coming to hear the latest album live? Especially as headliner...
