You can definitely stay.  I do believe you've correctly identified the best bit of Radiohead.

Actually, I take the "best bit" bit back.  It's clearly the double Thom bit in Let Down.  You can still stay though

If they sort it out live with Ed doing one of the Thom's lines then we have a winner!

The double Thom bit that Ed could quite easily do and nail live but never does. 

Sort that one out, Ralph. Go on!

Well that's the problem isn't it?  Until they clone Thom, it's never going to be the ultimate live track.

But Ed's backing vocals almost are a clone of Thom's voice. The basement sessions show that.

Watch the performace of Exit Music here at 30:29 if you haven't seen it. It's the best live version of it I've heard I think. The whole thing is great though.

They don't strike me as a sentimental band so although it's 20 years since OKC I don't think that'll have much of a bearing on the songs they play. I think we'll only get 2 or 3 from AMSP instead of 4 or 5 like they did on the last leg of the tour. I spent a while last night trying to come up with a realistic set list but it's impossible to decide what to include

I wouldn't be so sure of this. In Rainbows was toured to death in 2008 and they were playing at least 8 or 9 songs from it most nights, sometimes even all 10.

Fast forward to Reading & Leeds 2009 over a year later and they still played 7 & 8 songs from In Rainbows at each festival respectively.

(Ps. They were playing a lot more than 4 or 5 from AMSP on the last leg of the tour, unless you just mean the ones played at the start of each gig?)

The 2006 tour had no new album as it's centerpiece but that was 3 years after the release of HTTT.  It was also the worst performance I've ever seen by Radiohead as it felt like they were just going through the motions playing a greatest hits set list.  

I remember Nude and Videotape being the only songs I really enjoyed that day.

was that when they did the outdoor gigs? I think london was at victoria park. Cant remember much about it really, which I guess says a lot!

[CaledonianGonzo]

They played Meadowbank in Edinburgh, I think, with Beck supporting, but I had to give up my ticket.

@russycarps

Nah, that was the In Rainbows tour.  It was the summer the played T in the Park and V festival.

The show I saw was one of the last dates just before they finished the tour and went an recorded In Rainbows.

@CaledonianGonzo

That's the tour.  I'd be interested to hear if anyone else was as equally underwhelmed as me.

No offence to Radiohead but AMSP isn't going to win over Worthy Farm on a Friday night, as incredible an album as it is. Anymore than five songs - nay, four songs off it, particularly if frontloaded, could kill early interest.

[Woffy]

#everythingwillbeabsolutelyfineaslongastheydontplaydaydreamingsecond

[CaledonianGonzo]

Playing it as the final song would be even worse.

[SwedgeAntilles]

It's a big gig standard for the band to come back on for the encore and play something suitably slow-paced, often new, like Daydreaming. Stick it on there, follow it with Paranoid Android and Karma Police and we all slink off to the naughty corner happy 

[TomViolence]

I think it'd be cool to come back on and play EIIRP. In the downbeat catergory but gets the 'party' started again.

It's a great closer too; went down an absolute storm when they headlined Reading. I think they need to close with a big sing along, so Karma Police or Creep would make sense.

First encore or second encore?

 

[cloudb]

Would have thought it's more likely to be used to finish off on pre-encores.
