I’d sum that set up as being about half Greatest Hits plus In Rainbows, which is pretty much what they ought to be playing by convention. As such I’m glad I went on the 24th.

Seriously, anyone who has yet to see them is pretty much guaranteed to like it if they enjoy In Rainbows as they’ve played nearly all of it at every gig. The older tracks are a bit of a lottery, but if you don’t get all the hits at least you’ll be able to brag about getting some rarely performed album tracks instead. It’s a win-win situation.

I think the 24th show only appealed to the hardcore fans. The first hour was really slow, and the crowd didn’t move at all til There There (which came halfway through the show!). I’m all for slow songs, but they needed to pace the setlist a lot more, from the beginning I was waiting for a faster paced song to pop up. National Anthem 3 songs in… and then nothing else for a good 45 minutes or so!

The 25th setlist is a lot more mixed, better paced, and every song was a lot more accessible. I could imagine someone who didn’t know a single Radiohead song would still enjoy the 25th show, something I can’t really say for the 24th.

great setlist both nights, i thought, and they did two encores for both shows. the 24th had Just and Planet Telex and Airbag, and their second encore with you and whose army was fantastic.
thanks for posting the setlist here. good to relive it

i still believe it is a matter of taste.. i believe that some fans were satisfied with the 24 june setlist!

he has every right to complain about songs that werent played, the 25th set-list was far broader and likely to please a lot more people than the 24th’s show, which i must admit I would have been dissappointed to see!!
