Would never happen, but Videotape would be a great song to end on.

Now I want to fit Optimistic in there...

[SwedgeAntilles]

Do you think they'll do Jigsaw Dental? I'd made my peace with it not being there as it's not been in many of the sets 

[russycarps]

Jigsaw + Reckoner are essential from in rainbows I'd say. They MUST be played on the pyramid at some point in time. 

 

[stuartbert two hats]

Surely Pyramid Song has to be played on the Pyramid this time?

[evilduck]

Where I End and You Begin plz plz plz 

[ThomThomDrum]

Give me Radiohead on the Pyramid stage playing Let Down whilst I stand in that field and I could not give a flying fuck what else they played.

Just getting lovely shivers thinking about my 15 year-old Child 3 and me singing that line at the top of our voices as part of the ecstatic Roundhouse crowd in May. Would be really quite incredible on the Pyramid...

I've just realised they played my 3 absolute favourite songs in a row in their 03 set, TSH>CUTW>WIEAYB that is the dream! Besides those though I really want to hear: Weird fishes, 15 Step, National Anthem, Pyramid Song and How to Disappear Completely

I still am not clear what the "hits" are with radiohead. Creep, karma police, paranoid android, street spirit, no surprises and fake plastic trees I guess? They played 5 of those 6 the last 2 times they played. I cant see why they would want a quarter of the gig to be exactly the same as the last times they played, especially as they are unlikely to sound as good given that thom's voice is nowhere near as good these days.

 

 

I remember at their 2003 glastonbury set one woman kept screaming for them to play Creep throughout the entire performance, it was very annoying! It annoys me when people only know a few songs and seem to think the band should only play those.

Yep, if they play Let Down I'm happy. They've just GOT to play Let Down, haven't they?!

[CaledonianGonzo]

The very name of it is a self-fulfilling prophesy.

[Ovechkin]

It would be comical if they opened with Creep, like they did at Reading 09

I've just realised that they should open with Pyramid Song (my obsession of the day)

[jparx]

It wouldn't surprise me at all if they opened with Creep. Depends how tied they are to opening with Burn the Witch into Daydreaming. 

I'd love them to play Let Down, and as I listed it's in my top 5 wish list, but they need to figure out a way to do the self harmony live. Maybe Ed can get involved?

Ha, did they play that last time? One of my bitter regrets is that in 2003 I wasn't particularly appreciative of 'there there' (I think that was their opener?), where as now I love it- if only I could travel back in time!

One would think/very much hope so, considering how much its reared its head on this tour

But with Murphy's Law this will probably be the result!

And even if they knocked the performance out of the farm and I was walking away with a shit eating grin, if they did not play Let Down it would be a personal disappointment and something that would niggle at me taking away from from it all........

I spent that whole weekend smugly telling my non-Radiohead-fan friends that there was no way they would play Creep... then they went and opened with it

I don't think Daydreaming should be in the opening few songs, it's a bit too slow and minimal, they need to open with a bang. It would lose a lot of the casuals early on which will not help the overall atmosphere.

Mid-set maybe.

They didn't do the self harmony, Thom just sang through it. Would've been good to see Ed get involved or even more cool if they live sampled Thom to sing over himself like in Give up the Ghost. But it's still brilliant live.

I know, that's why I mentioned they need to find a way to pull it off. Sounds weird with Thom just going off in to the wailing bit with no one singing the lyrics. 

Live sampling would be amazing but I think that's tough to pull off.

They played five out of those 6 at Berlin and Primavera (I think) and they still sounded pretty great.

Generally I'm all the way with you when it comes to their own shows. I would happily sub out Paranoid Android, Karma Police etc. But there's a time and a place to hear certain songs.

I thought Ed did do backing vocals on that bit?
