Considering they first played 20 yrs ago and played a variety of songs and not just "hits" it was brilliant. Only minus point was no national anthem!

Sleaford mods are on red button - I kinda like'em

Cutie 3.14

Saw them the other night in Dublin, raging they didn't play Karma Police, just so I could bang out

"I LOST MYSEHEHEHEHEHEHELLLLLFFFFFF"

like he does at the end of the song, ah well!

Kid A and Amnesiac is the high point.

Though fair fucks to them.

Get some crap bum band like U2 and when they're the biggest band in the world they make the same "Celtic Bollocks" about babies with aids and how wonderful Martin Luther King is.

Get a band like Radiohead and when they're the biggest band in the world they write Idioteque and go off and do their own thing.

Thats the right thing to do imo.

Wouldn't it be great if there was nothing to fear, nothing to doubt.

I would nearly take Kid A over OK Computer. The Bends is still the best.

Have seen them 4 times in increasingly bigger venues.

Anyway, here's the full Radiohead set:

They really remind of the Beatles in how successful they are at experimentation.

AllGunsBlazing

Had to turn it off as the stage lighting was on the verge of giving me a seizure.

Brought me straight back to the excitement of seeing them at 16 in Galway (and many more times since)
They never lost it! Thom seems a lot happier now though

I want to dance like Thom Yorke.

Radiohead never was any good. But to each their own.

I love 'Kid A' and 'Amnesiac' LP's. Mad skills to create such work using a huge and wide array of musical techniques and instruments

Tracks like 'Pyramid Song', 'Dollars & Cents', 'How to Disappear Completely'. Absolute genius work

"I float down the Liffey............."


Not really into their other albums much, maybe OK Computer but those two LP's. Two of my all time favourites

Vinculus

From Kid A on the just got better and better. Everything before that was just fridge buzz.

Discodog

I don't like Radiohead & don't own any of their albums but I thought that they were very good at Glasto. I was surprised at how good.

brevity

They are not to everyone's taste for sure, some of their stuff isn't very accessible but they are incredibly talented.

Saw some of them last night, it struck me that they're a band very much of their time. Not sure I'd still want to listen to them now that I'm not a teenager full of FEELINGS.

Yeah, had planned to do a load of work around the house today but after reading this thread decided to go down the offie and spent the day binge listening to OKcomputer, Kid A and Amnesiac with some beers. Thanks a lot lads. Thanks for ruining me work :pac:

smurgen

One of the greatest bands of all time.their music has a lot of different levels and so much of their vast array of work is excellent. In rainbows for example was almost under the radar and it's possibly my favourite album ever.it's very rare to see musician nowadays making music that they beleive in.they are true artists.Going to Open're festival in Poland next week and cannot wait to see them.

I memba that too! 20 years ago last week. Jayzus lol. I memba a few of us went bushing and camping down the back of a local GAA pitch underneath these huge tree's. Someone had just got it and we brought a primitive CD listening device so we stuck it on. I hadn't liked 'the bends' at all, and there was huge hype about this so I was very sceptical. But once it started flowing through, you just knew this was absolute magic going on. 'Subterranean Homesick Alien' underneath the trees and the summer sky man. It's mine own anthem of summertime bushing partying

The Bends and OK Computer are great albums. Didn't like the next few albums (except the punch up at a wedding song) as they aren't really rock music which is what The Bends and OK Computer are.

Have you tried In Rainbows? You might like it.

You should give Amnesiac and Kid A another listen DD. Some great music up in those. 'Dollars and Cents' 'Optimistic' & 'The National Anthem'.
It's could be like what wandatowell said back up in this thread earlier, that it took them a very, very long time to enjoy it but they do now. Give it another go DD, see how it goes!! 'In rainbows' too, all of the rest of it!

Was so amazing and u are right it brought back so many memories 😀

I like No Surprises, it was used for the opening of season 6 of House MD, the video sequence is amazingly suited to the song.

When I go to see radiohead, dont care what they play as long as it includes Just. The National Anthem and Paranoid Android

They played the latter two in Dublin last week so I was happy out.

Surprised they didn't play Burn the Witch. Lyrics are quite cutting and maybe directed at the ex wife. However read earlier today that she passed away late last year from cancer. So, may no longer be appropriate for them to play it.

It wasn't bad but maybe I need to listen to the other albums more often as they may be the type that grow on you the more you listen.

I don't think I have the patience that other would have with music whereas OK Computer and The Bends had a lot of stuff that would grab you instantly and I liked them straight away.

Na burn the witch hasn't anything to do with a woman. It's a song they've had for years and about social media iirc

Maybe... but their split was supposed to be very amicable and she was the mother of his children so I really doubt that song was directed at her. It wouldn't be very subtle. :pac:

The late 90s were brilliant for music. Along with Radiohead on repeat (Fade Out is the most repeatable tune in history!), I had Robert Miles and especially Portishead on repeat. Many's the candle was lit, and the light dimmed, on an evening with the JVC hifi stereo (and graphic equaliser!) lighting up the corner with all that chilled-out stuff as you talk ideas and get the shift. Ní bheidh a leithéid arís ann.
