I like Radiohead; couldn't commit to being a huge fan but there is no doubting how talented they are.

Amazing musicians but post Kid A they do nothing for me personally.

Mike Guide 69 · 23-06-2017 09:25PM

Oh to be transported back to the RDS in 97 when "Airbag" was played, I was jumping around like mad thing, where does the time go??

You got to really listen to a moon shaped pool. They'll be listening to it in 100 years time. Slow burner but absolute classic.

Radiohead impressive so far.

Royal Blood were epic.

Paleblood · 23-06-2017 09:30PM

Radiohead are a huge bad and it would be inconceivable for them to play anywhere else other than the Pyramid, however they'd be much better suited to a smaller stage. I was at the gig in Dublin on Tuesday night and it was one of the first things I thought of. I'm enjoying this Glasto set so far and I expect their big tunes will get a huge response, but the crowd is simply too casual for a lot of their recent material.

Good post, song choice can play a huge difference, I was at the gig on Tuesday night and loved it, but I must admit I thought the show in Malahide was better, I know it was around the time "In Rainbows" came out, but the overall set list was better.

Strong and stable end to myxomatosis. Classic!

Have you listened to each album through? That's not a smart arse question. I just feel that a lot of people dismiss the recent albums without really engaging with them. For example, The Kings of Limbs and A Moon Shaped Pool are very, very different albums, and yet people right them off as just two more Radiohead albums. There's a lot to them, but of course personal taste is everything and I have massive respect for anyone that gives and album a chance and then decides it's just not for them.

To be perfectly honest, no. I have kind of listened to them in passing or while in someone elses company as background noise. After watching this performance I will give everything another proper listen!

Totally agree. Large section of the crowd on Tuesday only reacted to pre kid a stuff. I don't really think that stuff is really what the band are into right now and it shows. They have to play some crowd pleasers I suppose.

I might add that in rainbows is a 10 with hail to the thief not far behind it.

Huz is now extra sad that they didn't play Pyramid Song in Dublin.

krustydoyle · 23-06-2017 09:47PM

They have the crowd in the palm of they're hands

It really is worth your time. There's a lot of it that is fundamentally different from their earlier work, but then other parts follow on quite nicely from Kid A.

Everything in its right - god so good. I'm hanging on every note of this set. Mostly in part that o didn't get to the dublin gig, but they are killing it tonight

It ended the first encore on Tuesday and it was better than that version. Think Thom sounds a little ropey tonight

beardo81 · 23-06-2017 09:59PM

Even more raging now I couldn't make Dublin gig this week. Goddam sunburn.

They're playing a stormer

Murrisk · 23-06-2017 10:02PM

Overall, I'm preferring Dublin's setlist so far.

They are boring the backside off me to be honest. I liked The Bends and some of the stuff on Ok Computer but anything I've heard from them since leaves me cold I must say. Just sounds like self indulgent jamming to me.

Mike Guide 69 · 23-06-2017 10:05PM

Arggghhhh, "Weird Fishes", Thom why did you not play this on Tuesday?????

Pyramid Song wasn't played on Tuesday night.

I was there but if you are in doubt, here's the setlist:

Go see them live and you will appreciate the effort it takes to recreate a recorded song almost perfectly.

No disrespect, but if you haven't gone past ok computer then you will probably be bored as it takes some time to get through their other 7 albums.

Tinie · 23-06-2017 10:09PM

Royal Blood should have headlined over Radiohead.

Let me dream

Not doubting their musicianship for a moment. I just preferred them when they wrote songs with tunes - hey, call me shallow :P

hawkwind23 · 23-06-2017 10:13PM

dull as dishwasher , all well and good if your a fan , stick them on a small stage somewhere and play the most obscure tracks off the unrelased album but id be raging if i was there and looking a buzz.
Thats a main act on a Friday night at 11pm?

You're right- I was there too but I must have wanted to hear it so much I thought I actually had!

buzzinfly83 · 23-06-2017 10:15PM

Liked a couple of their old songs but overall a bit boring and self indulgent.

I understand, a few of my buds were very disappointed that it wasn't included.

SteM · 23-06-2017 10:18PM

First saw them live in the Olympia in 96, saw them a bunch of times live after that but haven't seen them since Blackpool in 2006. A lot of this performance is just leaving me cold.

Thought Royal Blood were amazing earlier though.
