Radiohead touring in 2016

I wonder what has changed to make them so happy to delve into their back catalog so extensively.

 

To be fair they did so pretty extensively up until the last tour, it was just the 2012 tour where they seemed so averse to earlier stuff. 

I guess with this album being a lot more organic sounding (for want of a better phrase) than the last it's probably influenced things.

Yeah I think last tour they just chose older songs that fit with the TKOL vibe. The new album is much more standard Radiohead so songs like No Surprises seem less out of place alongside it.

Why the fuck are they still playing the gloaming? Another setlist with it in tonight, shocking. Even the TKOL tracks they play, are a much more interesting selection.

Gloaming is pretty great live, much better than on record and they don't really have another song like it. That said they do play it too often. 

This setlist so far has had no surprises except for No Surprises

you're right! maybe that's why that setlist looked so damn good to me

[Gucci Piggy]

Imagine purging Myxomatosis from your setlists and continuing to play The Gloaming. Imagine that.

PHWOAAAAAAARRRRR!

Love Seperator. Its easily my fave on TKOL track. Id happily take Bloom, Lotus Flower, Seperator and GUTG as the TKOL cuts this Thursday. I have no doubt ill get Little By Little, Feral and Magpie instead.

Tonights setlist easily trumps Amsterdam night 1. A part of me thinks that the band probably felt what we felt when we saw the Amst night 1 setlist. Even with 9 new songs, it felt overly familliar. As in it drew alot from setlists they performed on TKOL Tour. Maybe they sensed that and felt more inclined to mix it up and not rest on their laurels.

And holy motherfuckin shitballs True Love Waits!!!!

[arcade fireman]

TLW sounds lovely even with the poor stream

[jparx]

All bets are off now. Anything goes.

I've not got the stream on. I assume it's the newer version and not the solo acoustic one?

[Gucci Piggy]

They've gone mad.

Wouldn't even be surprised if they bang out Creep at one of these gigs.

Edit: Although it would be bloody lovely if they save that for a surprise outing at Glasto like they did with Reading in 09.

I'd almost be surprised if they don't given how things are going.

Hoping for Fake Plastic Trees, The Bends, Just or Planet Talex. Any one of those would be mega.

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.

He's 80 years old and has usually been a bit mumbly even when he was much younger. Also, I saw him being interviewed with Emily a few weeks ago and she jumped in to correct him a couple of times. It was almost as if she was 'covering his back' in case he said something he shouldn't. 

[jparx]

Just watching True Love Waits. Can't believe all the dicks shouting out and whistling. 

[arcade fireman]

Tinker sounds better on my iPhone speakers tonight than it did in person first night in Amsterdam. Still not convinced it should be a live staple but improved for sure.

Yeah suppose it could just be an age thing. Doesn't sound right though. Almost like he's had a mild stroke or something.

 He's physically such a large and strong man I didn't immediately think this was an age thing as he looks consirable younger.

this video tells us nothing about Radiohead. Hope we get some news on this soon.

Would give my right nut to hear climbing up the walls. Hope they pull this out the hat in Berlin or London.
