Radiohead: Random Hail To The Thief Talk MMCDLXXVIII

Here you go, cobbler.

The stage set-up looks great.

Those chopped up screens hanging above the band were used to particularly great effect on one song in Seattle.

Spoiler

The screens fit irregularly into one shape while Thom played You and Whose Army on the piano. He stared at a camera that used the pieces as an output. Because they pieced together irregularly, it looked like a fly's splintered point of view.

1. Bloom
2. 15 Step
3. Weird Fishes

 

[U2inUtah]

Weird Fishes was fantastic

 

[mobvok]

1. Bloom
2. 15 Step
3. Weird Fishes
4. Magpie

 

[Imperor]

I'm far from a "Magpie" apologist, but having seen it played twice now, it turns into a pretty solid live tune.

 

[cobl04]

Weird Fishes was fantastic

Yeah. Joyful you're crazy. That was amazing.

Magpie is already a million times better live.

 

[nielsgov]

Now that they're starting off with all these new songs I'm wondering if they'll bust out some more classics (read: 90's songs) or just play the regular set.

 

[u2popmofo]

I've always liked it quite a bit. I seem to have weird tastes in regards to King of Limbs though. For example, I've never liked Bloom or Give Up the Ghost anywhere near as much as everyone else seems to.

 

[joyfulgirl]

Yeah. Joyful you're crazy. That was amazing.

Magpie is already a million times better live.

Yeah, it was.

 

[Imperor]

At least you don't love "Feral" as much as I do, T-Bag.

 

[u2popmofo]

I do like Feral though, probably a bit more than a number of other tracks on the album. Little By Little and Magpie were my two favorite songs from the album initially...

 

[cobl04]

Weird Fishes trending #1 worldwide.

Now that they're starting off with all these new songs I'm wondering if they'll bust out some more classics (read: 90's songs) or just play the regular set.

Reckon they'll play Satellite of Love?

 

[Imperor]

Heard reports of Ed running around SoCo a ton as they were posted up here their entire week in Texas (carbon footprint, my ass). Now I wonder if he wore that hat the whole time.

 

[nielsgov]

4 Radiohead related things trending, lol.

It'll be back to One Direction & Bieber in an hour

I'd forgotten how good Staircase was. Haven't listened to it much.

 

[u2popmofo]

This song is so good. I may have listened to this single and the Supercollider / Butcher one more than the album tracks themselves. I really like all 4 tracks.

 

[Imperor]

"Staircase" is far and away my favorite of the KOL era tunes.

1. Bloom

3. Weird Fishes
4. Magpie
5. Staircase

is that a newer one? because I had to look it up to get the name

edit- sort of!

 

[cobl04]

They've been rehearsing Supercollider, might show up tonight. (I preferred the first version)

 

[u2popmofo]

This is the gloaming, guyz.

6. The Gloaming

 

[Imperor]

Supercollider/The Butcher was probably the most played of all the records I bought last year, if you can believe it. Really glad I nabbed that 12".

 

[joyfulgirl]

I love this.

 

[cobl04]

Dem dance moves.

Still not a fan of this tune, better though it is live.

 

[u2popmofo]

This is my first time hearing this tour's version of this song. I've never been a huge fan of previous versions, but this is pretty awesome.

 

[Imperor]

Colin's Vox amp is a bigger version of the one serving as a de facto hamper in my apartment right now.

 

[mobvok]

Speaking of cool songs live, Airbag was great.

6. The Gloaming
7. Pyramid Song

 

[nielsgov]

The Gloaming was awesome. Biggest live improvement of a Radiohead song compared to the album version.
