Lead balloon if they start the setlist at Glastonbury like this IMO...

Big time. Like a shit sandwich.

18 Nude

19 Let Down

 

Certainly doesn't look like a festival setlist.

Idioteque haven't been played in the encore for a long time, usually about 13-14 which isn't that far off from today.

Think I was zoning in on it closing at Coachella #2, my bad

To be honest, Nude into Let Down would be a strong winner at Glasto - both would go down well, me thinks.

Now Separator in the encore... did anyone even tell them it's a festival?

Even though I love that song, it's a pretty weird choice now.

Agree on this, mind you,

[Bradders]

Nude-Let Down-Separator is an incredible run of songs but a very weird choice for a festival encore.

[Guest]

both Let Down and Reckoner played tonight. A bit of hope for those thinking it was one or the other!

[DownboundTrain52]

Reckoner to close main set. That's a good encore, but... festival-friendly?

Compare and contrast:

Nude
Let Down
Seperator
Paranoid Android
Reckoner

OR 

No Surprises
Nude
2+2=5
Bodysnatchers
Fake Plastic Trees

OR

You and Whose Army?
2+2=5
There There
Paranoid Android
Street Spirit

Which would go down best on the Farm?

Though of course, it all depends on what has come before it.

Third one would go down best imo

edit: tonights being the weakest of the three

Throwing my own hat on it and also going last one - though in personal preference, would only take if FPT formed the second encore with Karma Police and something else  

Good Lord, Lotus Flower in the encore again too. Three tracks from KOL in a festival headline set, that's... brave.

Generally check out Reddit if one goes down, they'll have another

 

Daydreaming, Bloom and Gloaming can fuck right off. As can CUTW which would not come across well at all.

 

[yaniv297]

There There. Probably Karma Police to finish and that's it.

Also Thom sounds quite bad today.

I'm going to stick my neck out and say I'm not happy about a load of 20 year old outtakes potentially infecting the set on Friday when they have so many newer, better songs I actually know that could get dropped.

[DownboundTrain52]

There There second in for second encore, feels a bit "too little, too late" reading the setlist.

See, this is the problem. They deliver stonkingly good setlists over back to back nights that frame Glasto as being potentially the stuff of casual-winning legend - the sort of set that means the folk who catch them crossing over suddenly come home in seven or eight days time, converted to the school of Radiohead.

And then on the last festival before the Farm, they turn out a set that might fly in a small arena - but will be DOA at the Pyramid Stage.

Do you mean the likes of I Promise? I doubt they'll play any of those. I don't expect a noticeably higher number of OKC songs at all.

Absolutely bang on.

 

[Memory Man]

That is a mad setlist for a festival. They did have 2.5 hours for BKS so there would be approx 3 songs less on the farm. 3 less filler you'd hope. I think they are smart enough to pull off a set of hits at glasto especially towards the end.

I don't think Radiohead play sets to try to convert-casuals anymore, really.

Anyway, they've done much worse in the past. Look at the Coachella 2012 setlists - loads of TKOL, weird songs like Kid A, Feral, Staircase, The Daily Mail, then-unreleased Identikit, downers like House of Cards and Give Up the Ghost in the encore. Weird set with Karma Police and Paranoid randomly thrown in, and that's at fucking Coachella. They're capable of that.

 

But this tour the festival sets seems to be really a lot more crowd-pleasing, not quite sure about today.

[DownboundTrain52]

... Can't help feeling Karma Police should be happening by now.

[Memory Man]

I am probably wrong but even radiohead must know that a pyramid headline is not just another gig. They will have something up their sleeve

[DownboundTrain52]

They're off. There There is closer - 24 song set.

Dutch Twitter is not happy.

Edit: Not sure how to embed tweets or I'd link a few. There's the general rampage of fans complaining about the lack of Creep - but a large amount also saying that "it wasn't their night" essentially. Sounds like Thom didn't give great vocal service this evening.

Encore 2: Lotus Flower ...  

The songs that appear inevitable are mostly exciting, which is great - Ful Stop, Myxomatosis, Idioteque, Exit Music (For A Film) etc. Two of these songs in the encore(s) and I'll leave very satisfied: Let Down, Reckoner, Fake Plastic Trees, How to Disappear Completely, Just, Present Tense, Where I End And You Begin or The Bends. 

[Guest]

sometimes i think radiohead shows (especially at festivals like tonight) would fare better with the exact same songs played, just reshuffled.

for example

1. Daydreaming
2. There There
3. Ful Stop
4. 15 Step
5. All I Need
6. Myxomatosis
7. Separator
8. Desert Island Disk
9. Climbing Up The Walls
10. Pyramid Song
11. Identikit
12. Bloom
13. The Gloaming
14. The Numbers
15. Exit Music (For A Film)
16. Everything In Its Right Place
17. Idioteque
     
18. Lotus Flower
19. Let Down
20. Nude
21. Reckoner
22. Paranoid Android
     
23. Bodysnatchers
24. Street Spirit (Fade Out)

exactly the same songs, just in a better order imo

They seem to be packing the encores with hits. But at Glasto they should ideally be cracking out some sort of hit in the first few songs.

Definitely reads better but compared with the wunderkid Italy shows, still stale. You'd want them rather than this as the Glasto template. (Though Let Down to the end deserves a medal, well done there!)

The tracks missing in action from the previous two nights then.

No Karma Police, Airbag, Lucky, No Surprises, Weird Fishes, 2+2=5, The National Anthem, You and Whose Army?, Fake Plastic Trees and Creep. It's only ten tracks absent that popped up over the previous few nights - but how many of these would be stone-cold Glasto moments on Friday?

Edit: This being said, the absence of FPT tonight - and hopefully in Dublin - bodes well for song rotation in my mind, since I've relatively sure that factors into it somehow...

They need to end with Karma Police at Glasto.

I'm expecting Street Spirit. But seconded.
