Radiohead live in Auburn

by on August 20, 2008 with 102 Comments in Radiohead News

Tonight the band is Auburn to continue the West Coast portion of the North American tour. The eleventh show of the second leg will be held at the White River Amphitheater which is just 35 miles southeast of Seattle. The support for tonight will be Liars.

White River Amphitheater is located in Auburn, Washington, on the Muckleshoot Indian Reservation 15 miles northeast of Tacoma and 35 miles southeast of Seattle. It rained off and on all afternoon and managed to clear up moments before the gates opened.

The band sound checked a cover of Portishead’s ‘The Rip’ twice, ‘In Limbo’ twice, ‘Myxomatosis’, ‘You And Whose Army?’ and ‘Morning Bell’.

Setlist:

01. 15 Step [Ed encourages the crowd to participate in the 'Yay!' chorus]
02. Reckoner
03. Optimistic
04. There There
05. All I Need
06. Pyramid Song
07. Talk Show Host
08. The National Anthem
09. The Gloaming
10. Videotape
11. Lucky
12. Faust Arp [Thom messes up lyrics several times, starts singing Neil Young's "Tell Me Why"; Jonny tries to follow along but can't quite get the chords. Phil comes out and drops an American dollar bill out in front of Thom and Jonny and runs away laughing. Thom and Jonny crack up completely to loud cheers. Thom tries again, says "Fuck it!", but then continues and finishes the song.]
13. Jigsaw Falling Into Place
14. Climbing Up The Walls
15. Dollars and Cents
16. Nude
17. Bodysnatchers

Encore 1
18. How to Disappear Completely
19. Arpeggi/Weird Fishes
20. Idioteque
21. In Limbo [Tambourine accompaniment by Nigel Godrich. Thom, 'This is Nigel', Ed, 'He makes our records.']
22. Street Spirit

Encore 2
23. You And Whose Army? [Thom dedicates to the people who demonstrated against the WTO in Seattle in 1999]
24. No Surprises
25. Everything In Its Right Place

    yeah!!!! they are getting closer to outside lands in San Fran…. 3 more days… nothing like radiohead on some drugs… really hope they bring out some rare b sides(A Reminder, Polyethelene, The Trickster, or Worrywort) or some of of the singles they never play (High and Dry, Knives Out, Street Spirit, Climbing Up the Walls and Let Down) that would be awesome …Seen Creep already 3 times… I’d like to hear You from Pablo Honey too. Or possibly the cover of The Rip by Portishead that they posted up…..DOUBT ANY OF THEM, seeing as how they really aren’t even playing Karma Police this tour.

    It’s still gonna be worth it. Radiohead… The beatles of our GENERATION….

  • the-git
  • PC

    Why would you leave before the 2nd encore?

  • spike

    I wish people shouted Yay during 15 step at my concert – I was wondering why most people didn’t.

    Cool that Nigel appeared. And that whole Faust Arp bit sounds hilarious!

  • Kyle

    it seems as if Thom is having more fun on this tour as it goes on.

  • dody

    in limbo 4 the first time, I’m so jealous. Some1 had to tape that

  • chauncey

    this has got to be the best set so far,
    HTDC, CUTW, TSH, In Limbo, Street Spirit,
    wow, WOW

  • Caveman

    Last night was awesome! Pyramid and Dollars & Sense! Set list rocked… Venue parking sucked. Can’t imagine the boys would want their ‘green tour’ to be polluted with so much parking headaches and idling around for hours. Talk about your CO2 nightmare!

  • Manu

    Nigel there ?
    Any chance he made a soundboard recording of this show ?

  • Scott

    Radiohead record all their shows Manu, I’ve even heard they record their soundchecks. : )

  • pearly*

    why don’t the release soundboards?

    They also soundchecked a cover of R.E.M.’s “Electrolite” and a cover of “Tell Me Why” by Neil Young. This was a wonderful show.

  • bc

    The show was taped. It’ll be on various torrents soon enough.

  • Michael

    After Faust Arp, my Girlfriend yelled “Your my hero!” Thom replied with, “I love you too darling.”
    We were pretty much at the very front, one person away from the rail. My first radiohead show. Amazing.

  • koip

    thom saying “i love you too darling,” has been more common than the in rainbows tracks.

  • http://burnptcruisers.blogspot.com burnptcruisers

    does anyone know what music they have before they took the stage?

  • upsetter5001

    Half of Kid A!
    By the time they were onto Pyramid Song they were unstoppable.
    The only low point was the drunk who was also high on x / lsd/ meth kept getting in my face doing his I’m over 30 raver dance. Then talking loudly over Faust A about green and traffic.
    So good but is Radiohead capable of putting on a bad show yet?

  • Angie

    man i hope the next radiohead concert i go to is as good as this.

  • justin

    i also want to know what album was playing before radiohead took stage last night–it was some bad ass electronic beats and i really wanna get that so i can jam it on my sound system!

  • mike

    it was probably modelseeker or whatever that band is that thom loves.

  • mike

    if anyone cares I recorded a portion of an unknown song in the soundcheck (unmentioned above) the first song they played. I also got the rip full band. not high quality though.

  • deceasedlavy

    wow, i will never waste my time on the first gig of the leg again. i wish i could just quit my job and fly to the west coast.

    Setlist was great. Saw em the night before in Vancouver. Combined for 50 songs! Only 15 of them repeats, and 9 of the 15 were from A side of In Rainbows which is expected on a new album tour.

    The crowd in Seattle was sooo much cooler than the crowd in Vancouver. Notice no “Rage Against the Machine” comments from Thom this time around. White River was also a much better venue than Thunderbird Stadium.

    Great set both nights. Could have used a little bit more Hail to the Thief on either night. OK Computer, Kid A, and Amnesiac got great playing time. The Gloaming from HTTT was a nice surprise on account of how much better the song is live than on record. Only 3 HTTT songs from both nights.

    Oh well, I can’t complain. Amazing two nights!!! Featured Paranoid Android as a closer in the pouring rain in Vancouver, and a really talk-happy Thom in Seattle.

    If you missed this show you will never see Faust Arp as it was meant to be played live. With 2 fuckups, a country-western improv from Thom and Jonny, then Neil Young, then Phil donating a dollar as if Jonny and Thom were panhandlers!

    Nigel coming out for In Limbo was great and hearing the word “Seattle” come out of Thom’s mouth was so awesome.

    Did anyone notice how when Thom walked off during Everything in it’s Right Place he warmed his hands on the crowd as if to say he really enjoyed all the love the whole night? That was great!

    These 2 rainy northwest shows showed me a new Radiohead. I’ve seem em twice in 06 and once in 03 and these latest 2 times the band looked and sounded so happy. So much energy, so much love, so much talking!!!

    Loved it. I know this is kinda a review of 2 shows but you would do the same if you saw 50 songs on back to back nights. How can you seperate em???

  • kelly

    I agree ghosthorse — a very good night and a good crowd.
    My favorite point was when Thom addressed Seattle and the WTO riots and then dedicated ‘you and whose army’ to the city. It wasn’t the dedication that moved me most but the pure silence from the crowd at that point. During the first few minutes of ‘army’ there was not a peep anywhere amongst 20,000 people. It gave me goosebumps.
