Where is Pablo Honey!?

...just don't get a b-tech media studies student to do the visuals on the next tour. He did scrape a D for effort though so good on him. Areas to improve were 'variety,  originality and to try not to full back on dated clichés' 

Personally I think he was let off lightly with that grade.

Show the band on the big screens properly. Innovative cutting edge idea.

People who are far back in the crowd who can't see the stage properly like to see what's going on.

Yeah the screens are a massive part of the experience if you aren't near the front. If we saw on the screens, what we saw on the BBC coverage, I think people would have been more engaged.

You can get away with not showing the band if the visuals are creative and interesting and add to the overall experience/ emotional impact. I had expected at least half creative, effective visuals, and half showing band playing live. It doesn't have to be massive and overwhelming - U2's recent Joshua Tree tour, with Anton Corbin doing the cinematography I hear was a good example. What I got, and I think the whole tour got, was Nathan Barley Shoreditch club circa 2002 shit. "Oooh look, it looks a bit 80s commodore 64..." 

To be honest I am a little annoyed not one of my Radiohead fan friends warned me about this. Good has come from it though. I will forever watch a band I love close to the Pyramid stage from now on...I cannot risk that again. Most of all I am furious with myself for not being close I am sure it was incredible up there.

Just watched about 5 minutes of TRNSMT on iPlayer. Fucked it off to watch the Glasto set again.

Jonny sure can play guitar.

[stuartbert two hats]

Ful Stop the biggest live banger from the last album. 

[stuartbert two hats]

Ed's guitar is fucking amazing on 15 Step.

 

 

Yes, I'm 'live' blogging their headlining set.  That is the name of the thread, after all!

Thom is getting weirder.  

Yes, I've just watched Myxomatosis.

Without Colin, Everything In Its Right Place would fall apart.

I remember swearing at that song when I was a teenager learning to play "I fucking can't.  It's hard!"

we can do it every week on the set's anniversary (On A Friday) (maybe not)

[stuartbert two hats]

Fuck, we (they) just started chanting Jeremy Corbyn's name.  Hearing that was like reading 6th form poetry.

Right now, I'd be up for that!

Colin's face is the best thing about the TV coverage.

On the screens - I was to the left of the left tower, and whilst I could see that stage, I couldn't really see what they were doing.  But for me, the visual assault of the lights and the freaky images on screen worked well for me.

I love the way Thom holds the notes on "crumbles and burns".  How long has he been doing that for?  It makes the song better.

[stuartbert two hats]

Observation: in 1997 and 2003 the crowds were lit with fire.  This year, they were lit with glowing clothes and phone screens.  Still pretty, but rather cyberpunk.

Thom's eye seems nowhere near as droopy these days.

Cheers!  Finished now.  Sleaford Mods are good though

I've not heard this Radiohead song before, it sounds a lot like the xx.

 

Hang on, I'm watching the highlights.  Time for bed?
