Didn't want to start a new thread and didn't know where to put this, so I choose here. I made it to the San Diego show, which I didn't think I'd be able to do (I even offered the ticket to several Interferencers, so sure was I that I wouldn't make it), and had a great time. Venue sucked as much as I feared (outdoor GA shows are hell on earth in every way) except for the fact that from the line you could see the stage and hear perfectly thus we got a nice 40 minute pre-show show during soundcheck, and hearing "How to Disappear Completely" and "Idioteque" twice in one night was rather surreal and special. As far as I can tell, that was the only benefit to this venue. It looked nice, right there on the bay and all (Thom asked if the people in the boats had paid, lol), but the crowd and the sound were horrible.
Anyway, for a Kid A fan like myself, a setlist that included SIX songs from Kid A was unbelievable. But I missed some of the early classics. "Just" and "Lucky" were awesome. Things I expected to love like "Paranoid Android" and "National Anthem" were just okay while songs I had no expectations about like "Morning Bell" and "Kid A" were wonderful little gems. And they should take a page out of U2's book and open and close every show with "Everything in Its Right Place," lol.
All in all, I have to say it was a good show but not a great show. Certainly not even on the same page as the mindblowing Sigur Ros show I saw earlier this year, for example, and unfortunately everything gets compared to that now whether I mean to or not. Yet the sight of Thom doing his elf-on-acid dance and Jonny doing his mad scientist thing made me happy. And it was Colin's birthday so we sang to him.
Of the new songs, live I thought "Down is the New Up" was by far the best. I like the new material, don't love it yet, but that one song has stayed with me and sounded so much better live than any of the boots I've heard. But I do feel the new stuff is still evolving and I can't wait to hear what happens in the studio. The ballads are beautiful though nothing special in a live setting, but songs like "Down is the New Up" have the potential to become really great once they get it all worked out and do their magic in the studio.
