People really need lives if they honestly have to follow every setlist from this tour. They pretty much play the same songs over and over with a few tweaks for every show.

WHO ARE RADIOHEAD? Just an answer on Jeopardy! The question was about In Rainbows and those filthy words “Front MAn Thom Yorke” were in there also. Just thought it was cool. I am not in St LOuis- but watching Jeopardy in Delaware. Radiohead everyware. HeHE

I going from the parking lot of my hotel to the gas station next door for some after show beers, when out of nowhere I heard the haunting notes that begin the track Kid A. I will be at the show within the hour, can’t wait!

how do you get Myxomatosis and In Limbo confused?
david
May 15th, 2008
^^
I was wondering the exact same thing.
Also, this set list looks almost as amazing as Bristow, just from the soundcheck. My Iron Lung + Kid A = orgasmic show =D
UP =/= DOWN
May 15th, 2008
I think that maybe our “tour reporter” for tonight may have been pre-partying a little bit.

whats the song that radiohead takes the stage to?
Lp
May 15th, 2008
…And now that Radiohead has finally figured out how to play Jigsaw, looks like they’re gonna be playing it routinely.
Niiiiice.

OMFG THE RIP!!!!!!! ARRRRGHHHHH I HOPE THEY PLAY THAT IN HOUSTON, I WILL DIEEEEEEE!!!!

24 song limit was breached, it looks like :]
Also, PA > HoC for a closer
cracka
May 15th, 2008
kid a/airbag/Myxo/optimistic, sweet!
hopefully these stay for Houston.
with that list of songs soundchecked it seems they may end up playing almost the same concert in Houston as 2003 with the addition o fthe the IR songs.

May 15th, 2008
OMG… 25 songs, and they fake out the audience by playing Paranoid Android AFTER House of Cards in the second encore. Outstanding.
Mark
May 15th, 2008
What an awesome show. LOTS of people left after bodysnatchers. those idiots missed the best part. and what were those “things with elastic” ? that Thom thanked the pit for? granny panties?

Man I’m getting worried
They almost play no song off the 2nd CD…I WANT to have Up on the ladder live, it’s one of their est track EVER. And where’s Down is the new up for fuck’s sake?

Do people ever record soundchecks? Even just recording what you can hear from standing near an exit door outside? I remember that you could hear pretty well at the show I was at. Someone could have easily recorded those covers for us to hear.

this was a brilliant show, much better than the one they played in STL in 2003…thom’s voice was brilliant and they all seemed to be in high spirits. jonny was wearing a “Yes” shirt and at one point came out LEAPING
also, this version of “my iron lung” was INCREDIBLE. it was my favorite version of that song ever.
luke
May 15th, 2008
All I Need was the last song soundchecked. I was there.

May 15th, 2008
Amazing show! PA as the closer made this a perfect set list. Much better than 2003. The donut smell was funnel cakes. D’oh!

May 15th, 2008
Incredible show. PA was a wonderful surprise at the end after a trend toward ending with HoC. However, this venue has unbelievably horrible logistics. It was absolutely infuriating to spend 2 hours getting into the venue and 2 hours leaving. That is actual time–no exaggeration whatsoever. We missed All I Need and Jigsaw because of this. Who puts a concert venue in the middle of an office park with a single 2-lane road for exiting purposes? And there is no public transportation! Arrgh!

FUCKING GREAT LIST!!!!!
what’s going on there ? :s
Kirly
May 15th, 2008
I don’t think it smelled like donuts per se, but definitely some food processing of some sort - funnel cakes perhaps?

after following all these set lists for this tour I’ve realised that they have so many songs i like that I’m always satisfied by their set.
Why soundcheck songs that your not going to play? I love No Surprises and Wolf At The Door. (also, I wouldn’t want covers cos radiohead songs are better!)
spike
May 16th, 2008
They play songs at soundcheck to see how they feel. If they aren’t tight then they might rehears them at the next soundcheck and add it to the show. The band really loves the new Portishead and The Kinks and were just probably playing the songs for themselves to have some fun. I think the Bristow show had the best set list so far and will probably be the most memorable show for the band on this first stop in the US because of the conditions.
T.ME!

Awesome!!! I always thought The Rip had a bit of a Radiohead vibe. It totally works. They should do it for an audience. Besides, we need rips of them doing The Rip. I must hear it - I must!

I was in the lawn section and thought that the volume was WAY too low. Did anyone else have a similar experience?

The last FIVE songs of this set list is EPIC! (Plus Exit Music is my all-time favorite RH song.) Wow, just wow.

Great show - I’ve been into Radiohead since ‘98 (frosh year in college) but didn’t get to see them live until this show. Huge thanks to Radiohead for coming to STL!

the portis album. i doubt they’ll play
it, but that would be amazing to here.
