    they’ll never play the rip, but i’d die if they did. OMG

  • Ryan

    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.

  • joe

    ^ except that they change the setlist every night and really throw in some different stuff. thanks come again.

  • maria

  • RYINTOKYO

    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

  • Sean

    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!

  • jp

    hope it doesn’t rain… nissan was a bitch… but amazing nonetheless…

  • Zach

    holy shit
    NO SURPRISES
    KID A
    WOLF AT THE DOOR!!!

    sick

  • david

    how do you get Myxomatosis and In Limbo confused?

  • UP =/= DOWN

    ^^
    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

  • Chris

    I think that maybe our “tour reporter” for tonight may have been pre-partying a little bit.

  • Lp

    whats the song that radiohead takes the stage to?

  • sup

    …And now that Radiohead has finally figured out how to play Jigsaw, looks like they’re gonna be playing it routinely.

    Niiiiice.

  • Lynn

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

  • cracka

    24 song limit was breached, it looks like :]

    Also, PA > HoC for a closer

  • thomas L

    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.

  • pc

    they played 25 in bristow as well. good show it looks like. nice ending with PA

  • Mark

    OMG… 25 songs, and they fake out the audience by playing Paranoid Android AFTER House of Cards in the second encore. Outstanding.

  • /\/ \ /\/

    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?

  • Norma Jean

    the rip!!!! i must hear it!!!

  • krazy

    why aren’t they playing karma police? hmm..

    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?

  • Niblet

    amnesiac and cd2′s are nothing

    these are solid sets i like them

  • jaggy0

    Anyone who went to the show think it smelled like donuts?

  • Sean

    Myxomatosis killed!!

  • Brent

    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.

  • luke

    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.

  • sparkletone

    All I Need was the last song soundchecked. I was there.

  • rich p

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

  • Josh

    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!

  • superfunk

    for christs sake, at leaste play no surprises and paranoid android in houston

  • wastesuxatdeliveringproducts

    He must have not understood the donut comment…lol, down with the sales of donuts!!!

  • jamie

    how do i get a recordng of this show?? i was there and i just want it to happen again and again.

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/okirly Kirly

    FUCKING GREAT LIST!!!!!

    what’s going on there ? :s

  • Tricia C.

    I don’t think it smelled like donuts per se, but definitely some food processing of some sort – funnel cakes perhaps?

  • spike

    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!)

  • T.ME!

    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.

  • Niblet

    oh your god

  • Kris

    can’t wait for Houston…it’ll be my first show of RH’s

  • fallandmiss

    Awesome show…not to be a stick in the mud, but why no screens? I was a little put off, you know?

  • Rob L

    I thawt last nights show was more than a mazing it was like taking the bad dog that chews up your shoes and getting him a distemperment shot I have been awakened! thanks Ra_dioh ead

  • eggy13

    KID>A>>>KID>A>>>KID>A>>>

    WOW

    Please play at Victoria Park!!!

  • Isaac

    Why arnt they playing at RED ROCKS!!!

  • kidj

    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!

  • Dave

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

  • Justin

    setlists are cool, but i miss actual radiohead news :/

  • em

    ^same here.
    i heard there is supposed to be an interview with the band in the June issue of Q magazine…is this out yet Ade? and where can we read it? thanks

  • Bomber

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

    Lucky bastard’s in St. Louis. Go Cubs! :)

  • Josh

    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!
