Radiohead: Band not in Crisis

[cobl04]

Lance can back me up on this, I think: it's one of the many weak links on Amnesiac

The live version of Like Spinning Plates is one of the best things they have ever done.

An incorrect opinion

This post could have come from just about any thread

The live version of Like Spinning Plates is one of the best things they have ever done.

I don't understand people who prefer the album version.

Shame the studio version is no good.

 

[iron yuppie]

I like both. The live version is haunting in its beauty, whereas the studio version is haunting in an unnerving sense, almost like a nightmare. I think that they captured what they wanted in both versions.

 

[LemonMelon]

I think it's kind of amazing that Amnesiac isn't awful. A handful of the songs are basically demos, and the only song you'd probably stick on a greatest hits is Pyramid Song. Yet, somehow, they managed to stitch those disparate elements into something something suffocating, creepy and periodically transcendent. It's a weird album, but it is an ALBUM, which is a stunning achievement in and of itself.

For the record, I never thought that mixing Kid A and Amnesiac would work. People do it though.

Is this where I do my annual raving about the studio versions of 'Fog' and 'Like Spinning Plates'?

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

Live Like spinning plates is just amazing!

[corianderstem]

Are Reckoner and Idioteque pretty regular in the set lists?

 

[Joey788]

I think so. They were both played again in Atlanta tonight.

It also looks like "Feral" and "Idioteque" are gonna be regularly paired together.

 

[corianderstem]

Cool. If I hear both of those, I will consider myself a happy customer.

 

[intedomine]

Same, I still haven't listened to Staircase, Daily Mail, Supercollider and Butcher due to their confusing release circumstances, and I think Twisted Words really put me off the idea of stand-alone singles/released with Radiohead. I was thoroughly disappointed with that song.

That's not to say that those songs will be anywhere near as unpleasant. It's more of a subconscious lack of urgency to seek out those 4 songs.

 

[cobl04]

Me too. I find non-album/EP releases really frustrating, but it seems Radiohead are set on that path now.

 

[Kieran McConville]

Staircase is worth it; the others, not nearly so much.

 

[Kieran McConville]

Ok, The Daily Mail is worth it too, insofar as it's been released.

Well their concert last was well worth the wait.

I had a great seat near the stage on Ed's side. Sold out crowd and full of energy and pot. Not sure if pot and energy go together but there was lots of dancing and swaying and whoohooing. Did the ticketless thing last night for the first time and that was a little odd. Their security measures were far more secure than the TSA's at airports!

to me the music and performance was perfection.

 

[martha]

Yay!

Yay, Iris! Glad it was great.

Watching Thom dance is pretty much worth the price of admission. I could watch him dance for hours. Every time he broke out in his spastic dance moves, the arena cheered loudly for him. The only thing I will bitch about is that it has taken me too long to see them perform live. Finally there was no crazy or unfortunate events preventing me from seeing them. Took some videos but had to stop often because of the beer/bathroom runs that the people in my row kept going on. If I can figure out how to post some of them on here without going through youtube and my google+ account, I will share them.

Mofo, I saw that!

I assumed they'd announce the rest of the US shows around the same time as Bonnaroo. Do you know of any other rumored shows? I hope they come to Ohio in the same timeframe!

I have a seat like that in Phoenix. I hope I get an aroma like that, too, but

friggin AZ.

 

[cobl04]

I have decided to never take videos at concerts from now on. I figure (and I really don't mean offence to anyone here, I know you're all better than this and only take small clips and still enjoy the show) the rest of humanity is stupid enough to put filming before actually enjoying the concert, so if I want to check out a clip it's bound to end up on youtube.

don't know of any more shows this one here was a rumor announced on a local radio station. They like other bands are not announcing shows in large groups anymore but just small bits and drabs.. Which drives me nutso. Obviously the rest of the east coast will be announced at some point who knows when that will be.
