    if they don’t play paranoid android at the VA show i’m gonna freak out. they didn’t play it at the show i was at on the last tour. i need to see that song live.

  • http://www.greasypigstudios.com Arvin Bautista

    I haven’t seen them since the original HTTT tour… have they really started pushing out Fake Plastic Trees and Paranoid Android from the setlist? There’s only 1 OKC song on there!

  • noage

    Exit Music is a perfect closer
    ahhh

    Lack of PA (and OKC in general) is a bit odd. Like seriously, there’s more Bends tracks than OKC in that setlist.

    Not that there’s anything wrong with what was played. Don’t see anything that wouldn’t be a shame to remove IMO.

  • sup

    Ehh, Morning Bell could’ve been dropped for PA or Talk Show Host, but overall, it’s a fantastic set list. A little IR heavy, but that’s alright.

  • iamwormbuffet

    Bulletproof I wish I was… there!!
    Great show

    mmmmm a very weird set list, no open pick, no paranoid android,

  • http://Blogspot.brettdunlap.com Brett D

    Did you see those pics? Holy balls. I can’t wait for Thursday and Friday.

  • Rickyohead

    great great show. goosebumps.

    a little rusty on some songs, but hey- it happens. airbag rocked. all i need was a great opener. exit music and nude were beautiful.

  • Stinky Beetle

    I hope they play more In Rainbows than that. Already tired of the old stuff.

  • lovesick alien

    It was a GREAT night in WPB – I have NEVER seen so many people at that venue in all my years of attending shows. The Lawn was PACKED!!!

    And yes — so far, sadly, OKC seems to have been all but jettisoned. But it’s early days yet.

  • jeff

    no pyramid song???

  • performingmonkey

    I like how they’ve switched things around here. It’s not good for the shows to be always so OKC intensive (unless they play The fucking Tourist of course!)

    Bulletproof! I’d love to hear a recording of that.

  • Arp

    no just? no kid a?? no no surprises!????? no non no noonono noon oonon creep!?!?!?!? what’s wrong with you guys?? they did one show now and everybody’s wondering where some songs might be… fuck! they can’t play every song at every show! calm down…

  • thomas L

    cool.
    i’m glad no PA.
    i’m sure they are so tired of playing that.
    i hope Airbag stays in as i’ve never seen it (for Thom’s scream).
    i wish they’d pull out We Suck Young Blood.

  • http://www.myspace.com/dellausi pantrus

    shut up people ! thank you phil for a great pict i took with you – sorry to bother anyway – we ll se you again tonight at tampa – beautiful show -

  • Karloco

    I WAS THERE!!!! 3rd row!
    all i can say is: awesome. it was the second time i saw them play, actually in the same venue. the set list was absolutely perfect, i dont believe i have favorites among the bands many songs, but last night each song they played was my favorite, totally!
    the best thing was seeing Thom a few feet away from me, loosing control and dancing like the crazy dude he is…, i hope to repeat this experience very soon

    nice setlist.
    Looking forward to photograph and seeing them in London

  • Dalen

    LEGENDARY!!!!!!!!!

    Seen them a few times and this was BY FAR the best performance.

  • spike

    Long set list! decent variety.

    Not much from OK Computer though.

    Jigsaw is the only In Rainbows song not played.

  • Eric

    I really can’t believe they didn’t play jigsay. Not only the best song on IR, but a single for crying out loud! I hope to see jigsaw, my iron lung & lucky in stl. I read somewhere that they never play the same set twice.

  • Austin

    THOM YORKE AND JONNY WAVED AT ME DURING THE SOUND CHECK BY THE SOUTH GATE ENTRANCE WITH NO ONE ELSE AROUND!!! AH!!!!

  • Good Afternoon

    what did they play in the soundcheck?

  • Vegas
  • Vegas

    Could someone who went to the show report how long the full set + encores lasted? Thanks.

  • http://www.myspace.com/mysmalladventure My Small Adventure

    Id be pissed off if i went and they didnt play paranoid android. Not that its their best song… but its a great live song. That set list is a bit to chill-out for me.

  • Dawson

    Im sorry but if they dont play PA at Manchester Ill cry.

    Cry with tears of sadness.

  • dia

    After they sang Bangers and Mash, you noted this comment in your article:

    thom; “We spent three days at Miami Beach. Fucking hell. What’s going on there? Some kind of reconstruction! For once I was proud to white, pale and English.”

    What does that mean? Who said that? Was it Thom? I am scared that if Thom said this that it means that he isn’t who I thought he was. Can you describe the context in which this quote was stated?

  • Joe

    WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    What a setlist!!!!!!!!!!

  • Arie

    No Paranoid Android? WTF?!

    Usually people go to concerts wanting to hear all the “hits” and get annoyed when the set-list is heavy on songs from the new album. Well, they can play every song on In Rainbows twice if they fancy!!

  • Gary Matherson

    GREAT setlist despite no lucky/tourist

  • Mönett

    That concert was awesome!! I was there! The stage and the lights were spectacular! I just wished that they play Lucky or Paranoid Android, or at least more of the O.K. Computer but besides that! amazing show!

  • Andrew

    dia: “White pale and english” is quoted in the NY Times review and is presumed to be a reference to tanned, surgically modified people. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a misquote, since “some kind of reconstruction” sounds kind of odd. But Thom’s never shown any sign of racism, so I wouldn’t worry about that.

  • http://www.nakedeyeimagemusic.com jeff

    The New York show is going to suck because they’re playing 3 days and it has to be fewer songs because is a festival i only bought it for one day
    radiohead sucks

  • http://www.plainsbasic.net Tim

    After the second encore, I left the building, but heard what sounded like Thom playing High and Dry and Fake Plastic Trees acoustic. Am I right? Did anyone see it?

  • ariel

    if thom was referring to plastic surgery
    when he made the ‘reconstruction’
    reference then i think that’s AMAZING!!!
    i was there, and he definitely said
    ‘reconstruction.’ and now it makes more
    sense. thanks for the clarification
