    “Last Flowers”!! About f@$*ing time! Hopefully they actually follow through with that one unlike “I Might Be Wrong” which has been soundchecked but not played like a dozen times now.

    My brother’s there, the bastard! And he’s teasing me by sending pix messages!!! Arg!!!!

  • performingmonkey

    Three new songs? Hopefully they’ll have the record written by the end of the year.

  • rainbows yay

    ughhh kid a!! why didnt they start playing it earlier during the tour?!

    also, they are never going to play these new songs are they? all the better, i suppose. wouldn’t want fans to keep saying the “live 2006 version was so much better!” a la videotape and house of cards.

  • Lynn

  • lily

    best setlist of the tour I think

  • Nick

    Awesome! I Might Be Wrong! Hope they play that, Last Flowers and Down Is the New Up on August 20. Just seeing them will be a blast.

  • pixilated

    postal pez….those were the days.. :)

  • http://www.farawayjournal.com kurtvonnegutsson

    My brother said Phil was singing. Anybody know about this?

  • Eric

    Phil sang during There There (first time I’ve noticed it despite the Montreal show last week and many YouTube clips).

    Amazing show

  • sophy

    IN LIMBOOOOOOOO!!

  • Zach

    I was there. My first Radiohead show. It was absolutely amazing. I can’t even think of any words to describe it. The set list was probably the best of this tour!

  • kidB

    I distinctly remember hearing how to disappear in the soundcheck

  • jack

    great setlist.

  • http://www.waste-central.com/profile/Illumina Myxomatosisized

    How to Disappear Completely was even more intense tonight, and it was the last song of soundcheck. Just tonight, it was even more astounding, and yeaH, I cried! xo

  • Louie

    :)

  • sophy

    IN LIMMMBBOOO!!

  • Chris C

    With all due respect, a lot of you sound like such spoiled brats.
    Do you seriously feel at 25 song setlist, with 2 encores, is a lacking setlist?
    The band has (excl PH) 6 albums and tons of other material to choose from and sadly, can’t play for 4 hours.
    Personally, I’ve seen them now 4 times since 2003 and feel blessed each and every time.
    Just some of the ppl here sound sooooo fuckin pissy, like they expect Thom to perform just for them, in their driveway, THEIR setlist, soooo bloody frustrating.

    That said, Mansfield was very impressive, was more than pleased to see WATD. National Anthem and Gloaming were quite amazing, among others….

  • Paul

    DAMMIT. Why didn’t they play this last night? Paranoid Android and How to Disappear Completely in the same set would have brought tears to my eyes. Optimistic, Karma Police, Wolf at the Door, and I Might Be Wrong are just icing on the cake.

  • mike

    where’s our microphones at?! why aren’t we getting these soundchecks like we used to? pull it together folks!!!

  • trojanpony

    HO. LY. SHIT.

  • Moi

    Kid A again… Not even once in Europe. :(

  • Ashl

    Now that one is brilliant!

  • Alex

    Why no Myxomatosis love?

  • PC

    Thats a pretty weak set list

  • billy

    what a great concert. finally got to hear paranoid android live.

  • notphil

    great great great show. it was my 11th show which occurred 11 years after and 11 days before the 1st show I saw.

    and yes, phil was mic’d during reckoner. he also sung along (although not mic’d) on about one third of the songs. for anyone who said they were slipping recently, you couldn’t have been more wrong. They were fucking on last night. It wasn’t the most creative (in terms of changing songs around) show I’ve seen, but definately the most intimate in years.

  • Timothy

    Is anyone besides me tired of Paranoid Android and Exit Music? And what was the deal with Idioteque tonight? Every time I hear that song it sounds less like a song and more like a videogame.

    That said, the In Rainbows songs were awesome. And The Bends into Faust Arp was a pretty great back to back.

  • Timothy

    Oop, in the comment above substitute “Exit Music” with “Karma Police”. I’ll never get tired of Exit Music. :)

  • notphil

    paranoid android says a lot about the band. It displays so much of their style, creativity, and growth. It brings back tons great of memories for me, particularly being live at the 10 spot show with all the peeps from #p_d So, to answer your question, no i’ll never get tired of hearing it.

  • rmatott

    Awesome show, the lights are amazing, amazing! They played soo tight last night its hard to explain, the crowd was very much into it, that show is now top 3 live preformaces i have ever seen of any band. How to disapear, i might be wrong are you kidding me? Cymbal rush? Watd? Just any amazing show. Now where can i find my recording??

  • cerebus

    Great show last night. The band, particularly Thom, were really into it, and it was an excellent set list. It was the fourth time I’d seen them, and this was the best show of the four.

  • Jeff

    Twas a grand show.

    I almost shed a tear during Reckoner. How to Disappear Completely was amazing. Arpeggi (which I’ve heard probably hundreds of times now) was unbelievable.

    Cymbal Rush was a nice surprise, though I might’ve preferred Super Collider.

  • Matt

    Extraordinary. Maybe even topped All Points West. I couldn’t have asked for a better show.

    Hearing I Might Be Wrong –> Paranoid Android –> Wolf at the Door –> How to Disappear made my night. Magnificent.

    And I wish the band would offer a big public “fuck you” to everyone who screams through “Exit Music,” ruining it every time. It was especially bad last night.

  • Jeff

    People seek attention.

    I was thinking of emptying my vocal chords during Cymbal Rush, but only to piss off Thom and get mentioned on the internet.

    Then I realized that I wasn’t 9 years old.

  • kyle

    god, what a great set list! I hope the San Diego and Santa Barbara shows are close to that…

  • Oakey88

    I’m really glad I got to hear The Bends. I didn’t think they’d play after the NJ show.

    Kid A, Exit Music, and How to Disappear were definite highlights.

  • http://chrissink.tumblr.com Chris

    this was my first radiohead show and i couldn’t have asked for anything more. i got just about everything i wanted to hear and nothing i didn’t. kid a was absolutely incredible.

  • TheFloyd

    Best setlist I could have hoped for!!!

    Great concert, can’t wait for their next tour (THEY BETTER TOUR AGAIN!)

  • Treefingers

    I was there last night and it was incredible. I’ve been keeping up with the setlist from the tour this year and I must say that the songs from last night outdid every single show thus far. It was brilliant.

  • http://www.thephoenix.com OTD
  • Mitch

    How can I get the 2008 Tweeter/Comcast Center show in Mansfield, Mass??

  • iamwormbuffet

    play Last Flowers in Toronto!!!! Otherwise great show in Mansfield!

  • lucilla

    you’re almost insane jeff

  • Chris C

    Does anyone else recall what Thom said to the crowd right before HTDC/after WATD (I believe)?….
    I ran to the bathroom right than and missed it…

  • someone

    Chris C: “thank you everybody if you don’t know that one it’s called wolf at the door”

  • Mike

    Going to see radiohead tommorow in TO for the last time in a long time. Really excited, but nervous. If your reading this Thom don’t play House of Cards, it’s not my favorite, and you play it every time. Please play I might be wrong, and wolf at the door.
    Thanks

  • Mike

    Better version of Android than last time when they played it early in the set. It was worth the 5 year wait for WATD. Hearing the Bends again was great; reminded me of walking in to their last show opening for REM (Hartford ’95). Also think Reckoner is a better opener than 15 Step.

  • aislin

    yeah opening with reckoner was brilliant

    and yeah thom was being sarcastic after WATD he knew we were all going insane and didn’t need to be told the name of the song..lol

  • lucas

    one of the most enjoyable things about this set for me was when thom played a tad of “dr. baker” by the beta band right before they went into “everything in its right place”
    nice to see some love

  • azre

    IN LIMBO
