As for those four-track runs, I'd take Lotus Flower / Codex / Give Up the Ghost / Separator over all of those. The National Anthem & How to Disappear aren't as good as Right Place & Kid A, Faust Arp brings down the Rainbows run (those other three songs are all in my top 10 ).
Amnesiac is so glitchy and introverted. It's a very insular record. I totally get your point about You & Whose Army (and that part does go off live) but I fucking hated Amnesiac for a long time. I like it now but quite a few of its songs still leave me cold.

I can’t even contribute to the discussion of A Moon Shaped Pool because TKOL so underwhelmed me that I don’t have the motivation to listen to.
AMSP is beautiful, beginning to end. Give it a listen. We’ll wait!

Thank you for the encouragement - I will give it a go.
Well, I FINALLY was able to see Radiohead last night in Columbus on 7/23. Absolutely unreal. There is NOTHING else like it. It wasn't so much a concert with people jumping around and singing along, like U2. It was just 15,000 awe-struck people completely mesmerized by those 6 mad scientists somehow doing what they do.
- The way that "Exit Music" swelled and swelled until it felt as though the whole arena could explode from pure awesomeness at any second.
- WOLF AT THE DOOR! I really was hoping to hear this one, even though I knew there was no chance as they hadn't played it in 6 years.

HG, thoughts on AMSP?!
Tonight.
And?
Great setlist! They've all been great, honestly. But 5 from OKC, 5 from Kid A, 5 from IR...can't go wrong with that.
Yeah, on your second note, they played Pyramid Song and I Might Be Wrong the previous night. Simply a ton of material for them to cover, they weren't going to be able to get everything into a 25 song set. I have no complaints.Was there too, can confirm. Only complaints:
1. No "National Anthem", though they apparently did that the night before.
2. NOTHing from Amnesiac (only other album unrepresented was Pablo). F that.
But great fucking show with great end-of-tour vibe.
