Radiohead kick off tour with amazing show in Dublin
Radiohead played their first gig of the is year in a packed Olympia Theatre in Dublin, Ireland. The band debuted two new songs, new album tracks ‘Backdrifts’ and ‘The Gloaming. All members seemed in very good spirits, although the sound quality wasn’t that good.. The set and the perfomance however was amazing. Radiohead played their first gig since their Portugese and Spanish shows last summer.
Radiohead kicked off with ‘There There’ at about 9pm (Four Tet was supporting). ‘2+2=5′ and ‘Where I End And You Begin’ followed. Then Thom said: ‘Thank you very much for having us. This is Airbag’. After Airbag and Lucky, new track ‘Go To Sleep’ was next. Apparantly, Thom’s guitar ‘ain’t working’, so Thom asked for it’s brother. The song featured Jonny with an excellent performance which even got the other band members amazed.
Thom broke a string in Just, which was the oldest song played last night. A phone rang during You and Whose Army. Thom quickly added the word ´Telephone´ to the song. The National Anthem was followed by Hunting Bears. During set closer ´Everything in it´s right place´, Thom sat on stage for a while, watching the audience. The encore started with The Gloaming, which was amazing live. When Thom asked if the Irish drink a lot of beer at weddings, the audience replied with a loud and definitive YEAH!!!
Thom was in a vey good mood and so he joked around during Paranoid Android. The band came back for a second encore including ´Karma Police´and ´How To Disappear´. The last song got a loud cheer when ´I float down the Liffey´passed. This was the last song as well, unfortunately. Overall, another classic Radiohead performance in a beautiful, but just a bit too crowded, Olympia Theatre. For a full setlist, check the gigography.
