Radiohead touring in 2016

They seem to be happier to dive into their back catalog a bit. I guess we can expect Just and Fake Plastic Trees to be resurrected soon.

Amsterdam 2 is still the best setlist by far. Lucky, How to Disappear, Street Spirit, Talk Show Host! Stuff dreams are made of. Also, it didn't include any obvious stinker like the Gloaming, Magpie or Tinker. (Give Up the Ghost is the closest one, but it's still much better than those).

So AMSP was their nearly-best album two weeks ago and now Desert Island Disk and Tinker Tailor are unwelcome on the set list and they can't play too many off of it in sequence either. :P

But yeah I think "Amsterdam 2" looks an absolutely phenomenal setlist. Could barely pick a better one.

Yeah well, 9 out of 11 isn't that shabby! Especially compared to TKOL, where only 2-3 of the album 8 songs (or 10, if you count Staircase and Daily Mail) were welcome. Even In Rainbows had House of Cards which was always quite boring!

Burn the Witch, Decks Dark, Ful Stop, Identikit, The Numbers and Present Tense could all be show highlights. TLW too when they nail it live. That's pretty great.

It is a bit, for a Radiohead album. And also for people that aren't the spawn of Satan, with yer Daily Mail trashing. :P

Can't get on with piano TLW at all - seemed particularly poor tonight as well. Wonder if the acoustic one will ever get a run out again.

The lack of love for TKOL here upsets me (it doesn't really, but you know). 

Not listened to the live video, but the new album version of True Love Waits has grown on me massively. The album is alright, but I spend most of it just looking forward to the last track, which is stunning.

Yeah at first I wasn't sold on the new version of True Love Waits, but as time has gone on it's now definitely in my top few tracks on the album. It may have helped that I never listened to the old version due to only having the studio albums and the odd standalone release.

Does ME have some kind of a speech impediment or something? He seems to be pausing  in a strange way a lot in that video. I can't remember him previously ever sounding like that.

In my experience, he's always a bit different in his manner when he's thinking more about what he might be saying, and he's also not the most-confident of public speakers (he's just a farmer, don't forget).

It's something he often does when speaking to me, double-checking the words in the head before they come out of his mouth, to try and ensure he doesn't say something he shouldn't say. His more-normal conversations have a smoother flow.

Why? It's not like every word will be examined in detail for clues on an internet messageboard is it?!

Hi Neil, sorry to pester but I didn't manage to draw an answer from you in the relevant thread.

The BMTH info you mentioned yesterday about the position you had them down for being wrong - was the info that they aren't playing Sunday Other Stage or that they specifically aren't headlining it? As, to me, the former would suggest Sunday JP headliners whilst the latter would suggest Sunday Other subs.

He's far from that.

In his head and in his manner, he's just that and only that.

He's a farmer thrown into a different world by circumstances rather than ambition, and while he can cope with it he's not entirely comfortable with it and has to adjust his manner as a result.

The difference between Michael and someone like Melvin Benn is big - tho it's also clear that Melvin's head is also double-checking what he might say before he says it, but it all works much faster as its his normal thing.

If a convo with Michael wanders into something about the farm, everything about how he speaks changes.

Aye, I've noticed that.

If you compare how he speaks when he's talking about new infrastructure on the site, or the dairy farm itself, or talking about festivals of the past, to how he talks when he's speaking about future festivals, or the line-up - there's definitely a lot more deliberation over words from Michael. 

And he's also 81 this year...

The answer is: I'm not entirely sure, in part because I'm not entirely sure now that I took what was said to me in the right way.

I was told I had BMTH wrong, and I took that as being wrong day when I've since realised it might have been wrong stage.... and your question now also throws in wrong position.

I've since tried to get clarity about it, but haven't had a reply.

Fair enough, thanks for the reply :)

    • Addison Rae has 33m instagram followers, Slayyyter 667k. Also 15 to 7,5 million spotify listeners with Addison's last release being more than a year ago. Obviously these metrics aren't everything, but still there is a big gap in popularity between the two.
    • Seems like the most obvious choice. Surprised they havent played since 2019 either.
    • My review of All Together Now 26, it was a whopper. https://niallmcquaid.wordpress.com/2026/08/06/all-together-now-2026-festival-review/
    • Yep it was on my list, id have loved to have gone. 
    • Am a relative amateur in the ticket/tech shenanigans and not part of a large group etc. but personally preferred the F5 bashing approach and got through twice in recent yrs (plenty when didn't, mind) - 2023 but it crashed on me at the final hurdle and then again in 2024 where I held my nerve when it crashed again and managed to get.  Think now I am committed to volunteering if doing festivals as that's close to my heart, so happy to help others when the time comes round.   The most impressive I've seen was bus sales in 2022 when 2 mates casually bagged tickets while in San Sebastian, on a phone inside the stadium during a Real Sociedad v Man Utd game!
