Radiohead

I went to see them last night...

All I can say is...

AMAZING!

Say something else.

Where did you see them? What did they play? Did they play the newer crap? Did they play any covers? Did they play Paranoid Android? Did Thom Yorke's googly eye look at you?

I saw them in Cardiff.

They played most of their cool stuff, with the notable exceptions of 'Creep' and 'Street Spirit'.

They played a lot of their new stuff (which I quite like). Idioteque and 2+2=5 stick in my head as two excellent examples of their new stuff. They also played their older stuff, like Paranoid Android, Just and Iron Lung. They didn't play "No Surprises" either, which would have been cool, especially due to it's political undertones.

They didn't do any covers, it's not their thing. Asian Dub Foundation (who supported them) were excellent and I think they did some covers, although I didn't recognise any of their own stuff to know if it was a cover or not.

His eye didn't look at me directly, although he was giving the crowd a lot of it.

I simply can't get over how amazing they were. They blow away any other band I've seen live. They were just that good.

I like everything up to Kid A. Then I got bored of all the other stuff. Takes too much effort to get into.

Kid A is class though.

Yeah, I agree with you to an extent. Although their new album, in my opinion, is a lot more accessible, kind of like OK Computer for accessibility.

Just put it on when you're dreaming of fish or something. Great way to enjoy it

James, remember when we saw asian dub foundation at Reading festival. The only song i can ever remember them doing was called something like "New way, new life". I think it was released into the charts

Yes i do remember

They did a song like that Freeeeeeeeeeee Nelson Mandella song. But the Nelson Mandella was changed with someone else.

Where you there mike?


At Reading?

Yeah course he was.

Remember the kick in the face, Hot wax in the face and punch in the face?

oh yeah! that mike

They (Radiohead) were fantastic at Glastonbury. Did 'Wolf from the Door' and 'Sit down, Stand up' from 'Hail to Theif' which are the ones I particularly like from it, so I was happy. I prefer it to 'Kid A' and even 'Amnesiac' to be honest.

On the subject of Thom Yorke's interesting eye, he did a fair bit of Glastonbury with his eyes shut, only opening them when he was absolutely having it, which is kind of backwards from what most singers do. He was doing the same giving a speech at Fairford, apparently. I couldn't see, because I was stood behind a riot cop.
