Radiohead Headlining 2017

[scaryclaireyfairy]

I'm stopping looking at setlists after Coachella.  It'd feel like forensically examining all my wrapped Xmas presents weeks before Xmas otherwise.

Actually, it is better than last year:

Builds to a crescendo better, I'd say.

Thom's vocals there are absolutely abysmal. It really doesn't work at all when they play it live, which is a shame given how great it is on the record.

I'm just very happy that, of four of the five this year, FPT has featured. Its chances are looking better and better  very happy.

Mandatory disclaimer: give me FPT, I'll love the rest.

Imagine Pyramid Song with strings! 

[Oldredeyes]

They haven't played the Bends as yet, since last year.

So hoping that gets an airing at Glasto  / Manchester.

That's the first time I've watched Burn the Witch live since the Roundhouse, where I found it underwhelming. I still find it barely recognisable until Thom starts singing. But I'm quite enjoying this version now I'm used to the absence of strings.

Especially when Ed comes in just before the first chorus and all 3 guitars get going. I also liked Jonnys use of the National Anthem style synth on the second verse. And Colin is really driving the whole song.

Thom always seems to sabotage the vocals when they sing it and has done for years and years....

He's sabotaging the entire show these days. I feel like he's not even trying to sing the songs well

Oh I dunno about that. Some stuff doesn't sound great e.g. BTW and CUTW, but most stuff has e.g. Daydreaming, WIEAYB, Nude etc etc

[jparx]

His vocals are definitely his and miss, but he sounded pretty good at some of the shows last year. The Chicago and Berlin shows especially sounded good, and when I saw them at NOS he nailed Exit Music and Nude particularly. He seems to give it more gusto at the higher profile shows, which hopefully bodes well for June.

[Madyaker]

He's pushing 50 now and his voice has aged. I think sometimes he just isn't in the mood for it. Hard to know though. I know he's battled depression and anxiety in the past and in my experience that's something that doesn't go away you just learn to live with it but sometimes it still gets the better of you so it could be that. If he's in a shit mood id say the last thing he wants to do is be on stage but they can't be cancelling gigs for it. You'd have to hope they'd be excited about their return to Glasto though.

i think it suits that song to sing it sloppily 

Just lying in the bar with my drip feed on
Talking to my girlfriend, waiting for something to happen
I wish it was the sixties, I wish I could be happy
I wish, I wish, I wish that something would happen

 

Would sound stupid if you sang it with conviction (they're not their greatest lyrics)

Oh! Don't say that!  I'd have no choice but to get so drunk afterwards that I forgot it happened

The opening MSP run continues. I personally would love those 3 as openers but I think there'd be a monumental exodus from the casuals. 

Needs 2+2=5 in there and I'd probably take that set list though.

If we don't get Creel I'll be pissed.

[Wilfko]

I'd be monumentally disappointed if we don't get Karma Police and FPT.. I'm presuming as it's Glasto we 'Should' get all they best known stuff.

Karma Police outro is my fav!

[jparx]

Really thought they would have brought back Just by now. Chances of it being played at Glastonbury seem a bit ominous now.

Also, You and Whose Army? is a belter, but if that's the one song we got off Amnesiac and they ignore Pyramid Song again I'll be a bit pissed.

Dam my half asleep typing 

[arcade fireman]

No way will we get Glass Eyes and only one OKC song on the Pyramid.

Chances of Creep being played at least 50% I would say.

Anyone else gonna be following the Coachella live stream on Sat morning?

[home to you]

Still a few things I'm unsure about but I'm fully on-board with the end of the main set.

EIIRP - There There - Weird Fishes - IMBW - Idioteque - Nude.

Yes please!

Yeah, pretty bizarre how they've gone from 5 OK Computer songs to 2 now. 

And what the hell has happened to The Tourist?

[Platt073]

I watches a concert from 2016 yesterday on utube. I'm no fan but I thought I'd try it, there a big band so I thought it should be good, after the 1st hours I was nearly suicidal,  I just don't get it!

Think I'll give this a miss after I thought Muse weren't as good as I expected, there will be no hope for me and Radiohead.
