^ are the ones I most feel like listening to at the moment.

"Ful Stop" was so amazing on their Glastonbury set last night. So groovy and hypnotic.

I agree. 'Ful Stop', to me, is basically the kind of thing that they were going for on The King of Limbs but perfected.

yeah I was blown away by that Glastonbury performance of "Ful Stop" - the video stream I saw started right in the middle of it. they played "Daydreaming" and "Lucky" before it, right?

Yep. Full set audio here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08vkbfb

phil's playing has gotten a lot more creative over the years. the live version of ful stop is a great example

'Daydreaming' is such a fucking awful way to start a set.

this is what i think of every time i see phil selway on stage

'Daydreaming' is such a fucking awful way to start a set.

No way, it's a really sweet way to ease in to a set. Not every show has to open with a banger. The pacing of their sets is really spectacular imo - look at the first four songs of the Glastonbury set: lulled in by Daydreaming; going into Lucky, which starts off moody and slow then explodes; into the hypnotic & droney Ful Stop; and then a supercharged version of Airbag. That's a great way to start a show.

It did get a bit morose there in the middle of the set though I thought. Ok it's Radiohead etc. When they played "Ful Stop", I felt I was in some Can in the 70s vibe tho

Not every show has to open with a banger, but I'd prefer them to open with a song that is worthy of actually being an opener.

honestly i was unconvinced by radiohead playing the old shit, which they did for most of their glasto set. when thom sings ok computer songs it's frequently pretty obvious that he was 20 years younger when they did that album. "the king of limbs" is their worst record since "pablo honey" but when they played "bloom" it was a breath of fresh air after their fairly dire stab at "let down". i'm not saying they're in zep '77 territory or 2017 michael mcdonald or anything but not having really paid attention to the group live since around 2003 i was a little shocked at how much worse the ok computer songs sounded, and since the album was a knife-edge away from morose parody in the first place...

I thought 'Bloom' sounded terrible. They've played versions of it which have been astounding, but it wasn't at Glasto.

The setlist spread at Glasto, for anyone who is arsed:

Pablo Honey: 1
The Bends: 2
OK Computer: 7
Kid A: 2
Amnesiac: 2
Hail to the Thief: 4
In Rainbows: 4
The King of Limbs: 2
A Moon Shaped Pool: 2

so out of 26 songs, _four_ of them were less than 10 years old!

the greatest trick radiohead ever pulled was convincing the world they weren't an oldies band.

Radiohead are not an oldies band. That's a festival setlist - AMSP stuff is not really suited for a festival environment, and the abundance of OKC material obviously had something to do with the reissue. and of course it'd go over well with a broad crowd. Three days earlier in Dublin, the set breakdown was this:

A Moon Shaped Pool: 6
Kid A: 4
OK Computer: 4
In Rainbows: 3
Hail to the Thief: 2
The Bends: 2
The King of Limbs: 2
Amnesiac: 1
OKNOTOK: 1

Pretty typical for a band that's been making records for 25 years.

xpost:

They were playing a festival setlist, and OK Computer has just been reissued. Their usual non-festival sets haven't been been like that.

i forget which radiohead thread was being used to discuss the OKNOTOK cassette tape, but it's shipping worldwide today so i expect we'll be able to hear it very soon

ordered mine, will report back

can we all swear a sacred oath to bump this whenever it leaks? and by all i mean you and me at this point, tetrahedron

i will go ahead and draw my own blood in preparation for the oath

because this tape will definitely meet all of my expectations and i won't be disappointed in the slightest

Relevant to your interests KM

thanks!

I don’t think I’ll ever love an album of theirs as much as I love Kid A so that’s always top tier for me but I find it weird that the songs from the TKOL sessions are the other ones I keep coming back to the most. Is TKOL my second favorite Radiohead album!?

I did mine a while ago. Ordered, too (highest first)
