Wednesday, the set list was perfect.

I picked Tuesday because it was my birthday but the Wednesday setlist was so perfect for me.

I originally had a ticket for the Thursday but Mrs Jass decided late on that she wanted to come and the only pairs on Twickets were for the Wednesday.

Turned out very nice indeed.

The standouts for me. Will sort out a proper list when the thread is set up but those three are my favourites.

Mrs Jass reminded me this morning how good Chic's Pyramid set was, that should really make my top five for the year.

Just got my tickets for Radiohead's gig at Buenos Aires. They are 100 pounds

Yes.

Something tells me they are going to be out of APE's price range, it was a long shot admittedly.

Wonder if they will play any shows over here next summer though.

Sure Radiohead at Glastonbury was good but have you seen this video?

What shows have people seen this year that were better than this.

If only they hadn't got all pretentious and artsy with the screen projections, which I think has been discussed here.

I preferred Steve Hillage with The Orb at The Glade (was on the rail for the duration and I love a good theramin).

Barry Gibb into Chic was amazing.

Had a great time at The Darkness at Margate Winter Gardens last Wednesday. Now that's a band with stagecraft, as I was compelled to tweet. They were like old school Queen, and I caught a plectrum so added bonus points.

Watching bands in pubs is kind of my weekend thing, and Psychedelic Warlords (a Hawkwind "tribute" act) really got me going twice this year. Proper authentic. In a proper tiny venue. And, again, I love a good theramin.

Great thread derailing question @Wooderson and you forgot the question mark. You have enraged my drunken grammar nazi 

To stay on thread I hereby declare that I truly love Radiohead. They are a wonderfully amazing band.

The early part of the gig was hampered for me by this really. The screens didn't matter quite so much on a personal level as I'm quite tall and could see a bit (although they would have been useful) but a lot of people around were disgruntled with the screens and many did leave. It was only really from Idioteque on that the whole place seemed to accept it and it reached that other level across the field!

[Hugh Jass]

Having seen Queen last night I've been forced to rethink my gigs of the year and Radiohead have been pushed down.

1. The National - Hammersmith Apollo

2. Arcade Fire - Castlefield Bowl

3. Chic - The Pyramid (I'm annoyed at myself for forgetting this)

4. Radiohead - The Pyramid

5. Queen with Adam Lambert - The O2

There were possibly more 'moments' in it than any other gig I have seen for a long time. The reverence for Nude the one that springs to mind right now.

Is there anyway I can still get the set? Need to re live that amazing summer night and never got round to it at the time

Ditto for both sentences. Was inside the barrier so not "such" a big deal. But, for a band of such calibre, I just want to see them play. You don't need to add visual trickery. A bigger issue for me was the the chattering types around me.You know the sort. They're only there 'cause that's where to be and they don't really get it.

No need to apologise at all. Each to their own. Glad you loved it.

I loved it too and felt so privileged to be there. It was hugely anticipated and no doubt culturally significant and a gig of hugeness. But imo there are way better live Radiohead performances out there.

I looked on TPB. Still has 17 seeds apparently.

I've got it in case anyone else needs it. Sent you a PM.

Yeah, Daydreaming having no screens and being quite quiet gave the chatters a licence to talk a bit. They didn't open with Daydreaming at the UK dates after this, so the band must have recognised it too. But in the end it was great.

They were better at the Roundhouse though

You could have heard a pin drop during Daydreaming at the roundhouse (well over the crowd, not the music)

I think they moved Daydreaming to later in the set for those UK dates because they were starting in daylight, the whole point of them opening with Daydreaming seemed to be the lights kicking in mid-song and that would have been lost in daylight.
