They've been sound checking Optimistic in this tour, will they play it? Will they fuck.

Yep been waiting for it to pop up all tour (and secretly hoping it was gonna come at Glastonbury). Shame - would've loved for that to be brought back. Was the instant favourite (for obvious reasons) on my first few listens through Kid A.

It's really happening! The band who saved the festival from certain ruin in 2003 after the shitstorm of the superfence and rod stewart have come riding to the rescue again to banish the memories of la

This isn't a "Aren't Radiohead so fucking brilliant post"...well, maybe...but are there any other bands around that could have everyone on tenterhooks with regards to what songs there going to play on a tour that's over a year old?

 

 

Well most bands don't vary their setlists as much as Radiohead do.

 

Buf mostly it's just because Radiohead fans are mental. As evidenced by this thread :lol:

This is nothing compared to the setlist agonies and ecstasies that Springsteen fans go through 

Fair enough, didn't think about him. I only own one Bruce album - Nebraska. Can't imagine he plays much off that?

Bob Dylan probably puts his fans through the ringer too, I imagine. Even if you get your favourite tune on the night, he's liable to do a 23-minute "reworking" of it.

He's actually liable to dip into Nebraska fairly regularly, albeit usually the same 2 or 3 songs - I think he's played Johnny 99 at just about every show I've ever seen.  He was doing a rollicking big band version of Open All Night a few years back.

In recent years Dylan's sets have become fairly static, but back in the day he definitely also mixed it up a bit.

Nebraska is a great album, albeit one I'm likely to stick on on a Sunday morning hangover/ comedown. Mad to think he went from that to Born In The USA in 3/4 years. I should investigate him more really.

Springsteen/ Dylan/ Radiohead then?

Luck of the draw with Bruce. Due to his pledge to play The River in full across America last year, the US arena setlists were fairly static. 

But then by the time he crashed into Europe, it was anybody's guess again. Picked out a cover of CCR's Travelin' Band on a whim the night I caught him.

Is the front bit actually sectioned off from the general admission? Got here late and have just got stuck in the general bit but with front tickets but can't really see a way forward 

edit: never mind sorted

      I am very possibly wrong about this but I do think that the pitch you get allocated appears to be related to your time of arrival, (i.e. you get the next one available) rather than the price you paid for a small, medium or large pitch.  They all appear to be the same size to me.

      Liddle: "Drop a small nuclear bomb on Glastonbury to immediately remove from our country almost everybody who is hugely annoying.”   Farage: Free speech!    Polanski: accepts a collaboration on 20 innocuous looking set of photos on instagram but doesn't notice that one that says 'making plans for Nigel' with a guillotine image.   Farage: I expect the MET police to arrest him.

      I take my lad to the local non-league club - Royston Town - not he's 13, he goes there with his mates and he plays in their youth team.  Not many people there - lucky if they hit 800, but lovely supporting the town team.  I've took him to some league clubs too - Cambridge and Stevenage are great to visit and not crazy prices - his first one was Cambridge v Sunderland (I'm a mackem) when they were in league 1, so a great experience for him.  The England matches aren't too bad value either at Wembley - it's just the parking that stings you. Problem is, he's a City fan, so at some point have to bite the bullet and get him up to the Ethiad. Have done the tour, but he'd love a proper game....my wallet, less so!

      Said it before, but if Annie Lennox is available next year, then it would be an absolute crime to instead book anyone else. She's rare and legendary enough that you drop all other plans.
