According to the feedback i received from the comments in my Manchester report it is safe to conclude that the Radiohead Manchester show was the most successful of the European leg of the In Rainbows Tour. I tried to gather some Youtube videos from this show! Hope you will enjoy them!

Radiohead at Southside Festival (20 June 08)

the Editor — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 12:02:39 +0000

Something is really strange with the Southside Festival.. no report at all about this festival! So we don't have even the setlist of the show! I searched AtEase, MortigiTempo, 58Hours and many blogs, but nothing till now.. maybe the fest was cancelled?:P

I will update the post when i get more info! Stay tuned

UPDATE:

Finally i got the info i was looking for (thanks to AtEase) and now i am posting the setlist of the Radiohead show in Southside Festival. Radiohead played only 20 songs (which is not bad for a festival appearance) and only one encore! The band played the whole In Rainbows except for the House of Cards

The first show of the second leg of the Radiohead In Rainbows Tour took place in Dublin at Malahide Castle. Another great show, with the first performance ever of a brand new song named Super Collider! Here you can find some of the best videos straight from YouTube:

Radiohead Live in Dublin (6 June 2008)

the Editor — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 10:11:14 +0000

The band is back! Radiohead had a special show in Dublin, Ireland at Malahide Castle! And it was special because the band first played a new song which is probably called Super Collider. First impressions about this song: "The new one sounded sweet.. from what I could tell it had a slowish tempo and there was a series of 6/8 time piano arpeggios with a very melodic vocal line on top..". The second encore couldn't be better.
The band play the whole In Rainbows except for Jigsaw Falling into place -:(-, and the last song was Paranoid Android! According to Atease the band soundchecked Optimistic, The National Anthem, Everything In Its Right Place, The Gloaming, Videotape, You And Whose Army and more. A great coincidence: Just before the show a great Rainbow appeared in the sky! Bat For Lashes had their first Radiohead support show!

We are only 5 days before the second leg of the Radiohead In Rainbows Tour begin! This will happen on June 6 in Dublin Ireland at Malahide! Till then, though there is not something really hot, we have a few news about the band.

First of all the Radiohead Best Of (Capitol - EMI) is coming! The first Radiohead Greatest Hits (without the wishes of the band) will hit the stores on June 3 but we won't support it, will we?

Paul McCourtney named Radiohead along with The Killers, The Zutons and the Wombats as his favorite bands! Besides the Muse Drummer Dominic Howard, said that his band won't follow the Radiohead Concept for free download though he admitted that Radiohead idea for releasing In Rainbows was really interesting.

Finally, it seems that Chris Martin is a bit weird. Instead of dreaming of his wife, Gwyneth Paltrow, Martin dreamt of Radiohead, and the next night he had a dream of Westlife. As he says, this mixture is what Coldplay try to reach in their brand new album! I would say that Coldplay are great (though many of you wouldn't agree) and i don't understand why they should change in something different?

We will come back with more news though the great event is coming in 5 days with the first show of the second leg! Stay tuned!

After 8 shows and many great moments Radiohead completed the first leg of the North American Tour. We tried to collect the best moments captured in videos from every show. Now we sum up. Hope you will enjoy them:

Summary of the first leg of Radiohead North American Tour

the Editor — Wed, 21 May 2008 11:27:22 +0000

We decided to sum up what happened in the first 8 live shows of the Radiohead In Rainbows Tour! To create this article we had to take a look at the Radiohead Tour database.

As you obviously understood the tour is dedicated to the last album, In Rainbows. In the first 8 gigs they played In Rainbows tracks 75 times. HTTT and Ok Computer are second with 21. Notice that no songs from Pablo Honey ever played.

Radiohead played all songs from In Rainbows, 7/10 songs from Kid A, 7/12 songs from Ok Computer:

In Rainbows: 10/10 tracks played
Kid A: 7/10 tracks played
Ok Computer: 7/12 tracks played
The Bends: 7/12 tracks played
Hail to the Thief: 6/14 tracks played
Amnesiac: 4/10 tracks played
Pablo Honey: 0/12 tracks played

All I Need opened the shows 7 times while 15 Step opened only one show! House of Cards was preferred as a show closer (3 times), while Paranoid Android came second:

House of Cards: 3 times
Paranoid Android: 2 times
Reckoner: 2 times
Street Spirit: Once
Idioteque: Once

From all songs that Radiohead soundchecked there are 8 that they didn't include in the setlists:

The Rip (portishead cover) was soundchecked 2 times but never played
You Really Got Me (kinks cover) was soundchecked once but never played
2+2=5 was soundchecked once but never played
Down is the New Up was soundchecked once but never played
Knives out was soundchecked once but never played
No Surprises was soundchecked once but never played
