    Omg, did they really soundcheck with Palo Alto? I wish I could’ve heard. Didn’t arrive untill Bat For Lashes’ soundcheck.

    But what an amazing show! This was my 4th and they just keep getting better and better. I did kinda miss Paranoid Android, but the freaky dancing and flashy lights made me forget about that. :p

  • Rik

    Fantastic gig, thanks all you people I met at At Ease over there.. for the people who were there, I’m the guitar guy! Fantastic gig, perfect setlist, very great first radiohead gig!

  • http://www.inradiobows.com Thom Yorke

    super collider and a wolf at the door. if P A was included it would be juuuuuust fine

  • UNTERMENSCHEN

    Oh my GOD, ‘Climbing Up the Walls’ AND ‘A Wolf at the Door’?! What a setlist!

  • Pablo2000

    Just got back from ‘Dam – Wicked gig!! Super Collider has changed in my opinion – sounded rubbish the first time I heard it (on youtube) but live at the event it was fantastic – has amazing potential.. AND! How to Disappear OMG !!! JOY JOY JOY!

  • Daan

    I think the absolute highlight of the night was Climbing Up the Walls. Jonny started with a crazy orchestra sample he took from the radio. Wow, it was amazing …

  • mauziziz

    it was like magic

  • Richard

    Briliant performance, Nude was my favorite!!!

  • Joe

    DAMN, one of the best setlists of the tour. Opening with Bodysnatchers and closing with Planet Telex?!?!?!

  • Wouter Levering

    It was my fourth RH in 2 years (2xHMH and
    Pukkelpop)but it was the best by far. The
    only songs i missed were Fake Plastic Trees
    and Optimistic. Super Collider, Wolf At The Door,
    Street Spirit, Videotape and Jigsaw where my
    favorites. And the venue+sunshine made it
    a night to remember.

  • sv

    I found the first half a little too sleepy like bodysnatchers was slower etc., but from Just until the end it was AMAZING. I couldn’t hope Planet Telex and then bang they just play it.
    Jigsaw was the best live version I heard so far. No kidding. Wolf atthe door was brilliant too.
    I would’ve traded the gloaming for up on the ladder or down is the new up though, too bad they never ever play those. They’re the best of the In rainbows CD1/CD2 combo.

  • luke

    That second encore is pretty good

  • wiliamofoccam

    Hey, we spotted Michael Stipe at the concert. He was sitting in the tower in front of the stage. He seemed to be enjoying himself.

  • Weird~Fish

    It was incredibly amazing, better than any drug..

    Thank You Radiohead..!

    ‘Everything In It’s Right Place’ and ‘Reckoner’ MP3:

  • Maestro Amsterdam

    fifth time I sat them. they seem to get even better everytime. First time on the pot during a RH gig and it made it even more beautiful and intense…but I did have a hard day at work the day after..;)

  • remfa

    First time Radiohead for me, it was unbelievable…
    Fantastic gig.

    @ Weird~Fish:
    OMG :| you got more ?

  • http://www.seaholm.com YickthWoovle

    I was there. Great to be able to type that. Yes Radiohead did great as expected, but just as wonderful were the Dutch people. What a great group. Very well behaved, but also they know how to party, dance, get into it, etc. Everything was perfectly organized. My wife and I were able to walk around the floor area with no problem – strange to have such easy access when there are so many people. As such, it was a joy to be able to see and hear RH from various angles. The weather couldn’t have been better. The vibe was amazing. There were loads of folks just outside the concert area on the surrounding hills also enjoying the show. The park location seemed to be right in the middle of a neighborhood. Very interesting indeed. The Dutch and Radiohead – awesome combo!

  • Arp

    you are so right!

  • james

    wow, seriously epic gig. my fourth radiohead one now, manchester on sunday was my 3rd and they just get better and better. i really didnt think they could beat the 3 encores of manc but htdc, planet telex, cutw and wolf at the door were unbelievable
