Wow, 2X Optimistic, I thought that song was completely dead and forgotten.

EXCITED ABOUT OPTIMISTIC! I saw it once before, in the BIG TOP TOUR in 2000, would be psyched if they play this in Milano!

I really hope they don’t continue to play Myxamatosis this tour or at least for Toronto. Awful, though catchy, song.

I don’t get myxomatosis at all. It’s one of the worst radiohead songs in my opinion. maybe i’m missing something.

I liked their evening set better. It had more OK Computer! (I love Kid A and Amnesiac but Bends/OK Computer songs work much better live.

I didn’t realise anyone didn’t like myxomatosis until now! It’s incredibly good.

Was the first take of Optimistic not good? I’ve never heard of an encore that is a repeat of a song in the set. Good song though. Big fish eats the little one.

I am SO glad that optimistic is back in their live set! But twice is unusual. Meanwhile, isn’t ‘In Rainbows’ called ‘Reckoner’? Does anyone know where to download this?

myxomatosis is fantastic. especially in toronto because people pass in the pit out and thom can save them.

yes the first take of optomistic went
wrong so they did it agian. This was
a recording for radio after all. Oh and
Sandy, I hope you wernt the d**k h**d
on the front row of the balcony
who repeatedly took photos even though
security kept on asking him not to and
caused commotion that was spoiling it for
others.
