not from pablo, but I truly love nice dream. Always have! Especially the beefed up live version. Wonderful stuff.

 

 

I don't know if I'm comfortable with you sounding happy / excited instead of outraged Russy.  Would you mind calling me a c*nt just to restore balance please x

Just finished Pablo Honey, currently on High and Dry.  Personally I still love them both, but I freely admit to being massively nostalgic in my musical tastes.  Listened to them both a LOT when I was a student.

PH was always going to struggle with what came after, but I think that says more about how good they became than how bad they started. You, Thinking About You, Prove Yourself, I Can't are all great songs for me.

Proper excited :)

My first Radiohead gig was the headlining show at T in the Park in 1996, the encore was Thom solo doing an acoustic Thinking About You, it was fantastic. You also sounded huge at Glasto in 1997. If I wasn't desperate for them to close Glasto 2017 with How To Disappear Completely then I'd love them to play Blow Out too.

Awesome to see it confirmed now :D. Haven't been this excited for a headliner since my first year (Arcade Fire). I just hope I don't over indulge like I did for that one :lol:

Can't wait to see what their first 2017 setlist looks like now... they've been pulling out a few surprises lately!

That slowed down live version of Blow Out is pretty special, I'd love to hear it properly there. In a dream world, it's the main set closer then, HTDC encore 1 closer & finally Talk Show Host & Street Spirit encore 2 closer.

One slot down and the lineup's 100x better than this year's so far.

Announce the Roses as Sunday headliners next and I'll put it at 200x better.

Muse and Coldplay to Radiohead and The Stone Roses. Can't complain, can you?

Have you been an ironic Muse fan this entire time?

They've been doing a good spread on their last tour.  This isn't a bad list:

They've got a 'Best Of' album, which has all their main hits pre In Rainbows which might be worth listening to to get you into them. But then you miss out on all of In Rainbows which you have to listen to.

How many in the Pyramid Field for their gig? 80k?

    • Yeah, I think it's important to differentiate between a stage that's just a platform for the artist to walk on (which can be assembled fairly quickly and without too much difficulty), and the custom staging that you get in big productions where there's a whole world underneath.   Using the Eras tour as an example the stage extending out into the stadium field has all sorts - lifts that go up or down - down most importantly as this allows performers to enter or to leave the stage as needed. There's passageways to get from one part of the stage to another. There's what are effectively dressing rooms set aside for costume changes. There's spare instruments (and techs to look after them) so if something goes wrong above they can be swapped out in the space of seconds. There's even a track and dolly system running the full length of the stage so that Taylor can be moved from one end to the other faster than she'd be able to walk.   I don't know the specifics of the Madonna tour to the same degree but my understanding is that a lot of the same techniques are used.
    • Wow just got myself some Megadeth tickets and not sure I can afford another set of tickets for another gig so soon but we'll see. Fingers crossed
    • Can't speak for Dua Lipa's, but Coldplay's was vastly scaled down compared to their stadium production staging though, and tracks were adapted to reflect that. MOTS tour had a full walkway 30m out to the B-Stage in the middle of the crowd, and two C-Stages. Glastonbury didn't accommodate that at all and just had a very small walkway in front of the Pyramid stage, and (IIRC) a disconnected B-Stage.   Which re-enforces my point. Acts can adapt their stage shows if they really want. Most do, some don't want to. Glastonbury might miss out on the odd act that doesn't want to slightly adapt, but so will most festivals.
