  • coach

    Actually they messed up on Exit Music, Started again, stopped again, moved on to the next one.

  • mty_rh

    en Last Music a Thom se le rompio la cuerda de la guitarra en media cancion asi que se detuvo, continuo con la guitarra en mal estado y cuando fue momento en que el grupo completo participara en la cancion TODOS se equivocaron, Thom solo dijo , lo siento lo intentaremos mas tarde…. gracioso!
    en Creep en la parte de “A one perfect body” Thom se levanta la camisa lo que ocaciono que se riera el mismo en medio de la cancion….

    Alguien traduzca esto a Ingles :D

  • lllrlll

    mty_rh requested that his post be translated into English:

    In the middle of “Exit Music…” One of the strings of Thom’s guitar was broken, so he stopped. He restarted the song like that, and the moment the band joined in EVERYONE messed up… Thom just said: “I’m sorry, we’ll try that one later” Amusing!

  • victor cruz

    the best show i’ve ever been, they were really happy, and surprised, though they here, are superstars, paparazzi targets, and all that they seem to hate about the bussines. amazing show, people were crazy,dindn’t finish exit music though, didn’t matter much, been waitin’ for them since i was 13.
    when they started playing CREEP everyone started to look at each other don’t knowing what to do, (but at last singing it out loud) for here in México, existed this felling about Radiohead not comming in the last 15 years because the crowds then, only wanted that song from them, great to see they’re above their own rejection of the song, and having fun with it, not taking it too serius, talk show host and you and whose army the other surprises of the night, hope next time doesn’t take them same long to come back, not now they now how much we love them.

  • OJ

    Climbing Up The Walls and Dollars And Cents in the same show

    great !

    only 1 song from the bends …

  • http://khristopher.com Khristopher

    If only they would do Creep when they come to Toronto. I’ve seen them 7 times, and not once have they played it.

  • mike

    very funny and typical of native spanish speakers to mistake “i want a perfect body” for “a one perfect body.” no offense, just amusing.

  • http://paradigma21.com Trev

    I was at the 2 shows. I think the second one was better than the first one, but it’s just my opinion. They sang Creep, I dont know why, it was a nice fact but i would had better preferred another song. It was funny when thom sang ‘i want a perfect body…’ while he was lifting his shirt, then the crowd shouted “wooooo” and he looked embarrased… Also the mess up with Exit Music. These things and of course the rest of the songs converted this night in an unique and malvelous experience.

  • Tara

    Wish I was there. Amazing set list.

  • betoxic

    No matter what happens now
    ‘I’ shouldn’t be afraid
    Because I know ‘yesterday’ has been the most perfect day I’ve ever seen.

    My greatest birthday.

    I still can’t decide wich of the two concerts was my favorite!

  • http://culturasolynieve.blogspot.com/ Fantaguayaba

    Exit Music (For a Fail)
    Come back soon

  • mightaswell

    My first reaction to creep was “no!! Dont play that!!” i actually tought planet telex was next cause , (that i remember) is the only one they lower the lights all the way down behind them i would have prefered wieayb, planet telex, bangers nmash, morning bell, or imbw. but anyways great shows. 1st nigth was more of a greatest hits setlist. And nigth 2 was more of a true fan setlist being it was the first date on sale. We were mostly true radiohead fans and where there to enjoy the music. Not just scream, push, etc. like it happened on the 1st night.

    Happy to hear my iron lung Hadnt heard it live before and can now be part of the lucky ones to have heard creep also.

    Cant wait for summer tour!!!!

  • chidowan

    Lo que paso con exit music fue que thom empezo a tocarla con el capotrasto en el tercer traste cuando la cancion lo lleva en el segundo. Todo parecia bien pero si se escuchaba un poco mas aguda de lo normal. Nadie se dio cuenta, ni Thom. Jonny golpeo con el brazo la guitarra y se escucho el sonido de las primeras cuerdas en la parte calmada, por lo que Thom volteo a verlo y Jonny reacciono y le dijo algo, no se si se enojaron entre ellos o simplemente le explico que fue un sonido que hizo por descuido, por que a Thom lo saco de onda. Thom siguio tocando en un tono que no era, por lo que cuando Colin entro en el bajo se oia todo desentonado y no se daban cuenta que era hasta que Thom vio que el capo no estaba donde debia. Lo cambio rapidamente y empezo a tocar. Luego se le rompio una cuerda y fue cuando valio madre y dijo, We will play that one later. Debo decirles que eso que paso fue un momento invaluable en la historia de conciertos de Radiohead.

    lucky mexicans got talk show host…

  • Andrea

    haha @ thom saying before going into creep: “have a nice life.”
    sounds like he won’t be coming back anytime soon. Flew in from LA for both shows. Got trampled the second night in GRAL A. I’ve been in 3 other radiohead pool or pit seats, never seen or experienced anything like that. I understand appreciation of the greatest band in the world, but come on. Let other people enjoy it too. Mexico City does rock though. So many different areas and sites. It was cool all the way around except for my toes being smashed to smithereens. And Kid A! yay!!!

  • Pablo

    You’re right Andrea, I don’t think they will comeback, and I don’t know why, Thom was kind of pissed in the second concert.

  • Andrea

    Pablo, do you think he was sort of agitated because of the way the fans were stalking them around the city, or something else? I’m not sure. I talked to a few people that either saw him after waiting for hours or were looking for him all around the city. He sounded like he had fun the first night! And his “gracias” was so darn cute.

  • Pablo

    Yeah, the first night was great, they were really happy, something must have happened, on the second night though, the audience was not great they weren’t singing as the first night. He was expecting the audience to sing the chorus of All I need like on the first night. He was kind of disappointed after that.

    I hope they’ll come back, but I just don’t know, he seemed pissed. I hope he gets over it! The first night was great!

  • Pablo

    BTW if you’re in GNRAL A it s best to stay a little back and not try to be right at the front, I didn’t had a problem in neither night.

  • Andrea

    yeah, my friend took off before kraftwerk because it was too much. i of course thought i could handle it. I had to get out of the pit during all i need. maybe that’s why he was disappointed ;)

  • OK_Kid

    Sweet lord those encores are the best
    I’ve ever seen. Creep AND Like Spinning
    Plates? AND Talkshow Host?! Jesus that’s
    the best setlist I’ve seen from them in
    awhile! I would’ve given my left testicle
    to go to that show.

  • izm

    yawn

  • Art

    i was at both nights… i think they were happier on the 2nd night… you know, they laugh and speak more to the audience; not to speak the great setlist

    anyway, the “have a nive life” really scares me

  • Omar

    I was in the two shows and I have to say the first one was the best, all the crowd singing all the songs even the new ones, so emotive in Fake Plastic Trees and Street Spirit. In Airbag the people get crazy and the chaos started, fortunately everybody get calm.
    The second night the moment was Exit Music and Karma Police.
    I love so much How to Disappear Completely and they play it. The tears in my eyes in this song.
    Gracias Thom, Jhonny, Ed,Phil y Colin(El nuevo superheroe de los fans mexicanos) y los esperamos pronto.

  • YESS

    the first one was the best…I really enjoyed it, and I think it was because RADIOHEAD was surprised by the audience…. thanks…. it was fantastic, and now I cann´t die…

    I love you(RADIOHEAD)

  • trojanpony

    Wow. Those encores are freakin’ orgasmic.

  • YESS

    the first one concert was the best….it was so great and I really enjoyed. everyone was singing and RADIOHEAD apreciated that…. I cann’t believe that I was there next RADIOHEAD,,,,, I hope you come back again–

    It’s amazing how these guys bond with the audience and how fullfilling their songs are.
    Hope they come back soon.

  • radiomama

  • OJ

    I was there … I am a big fan of them , I loved dollar and cents and climbing up the walls, honestly my favs…. I dont understand what is the big deal about creep, is a cool song… better than Nude or All I need… this concert (monday) was one of the best ever …. almost as bigger than Oxford 07.

    sorry for my bad english

  • victor

    so there’s a figth about wich nigth was best ah? of course the first gig everyone sang along, they call “it greatest hit’s setlist concert”, EMI sells a record with those, second setlist is more intimate, not that “singable”, (if that word exists) but better for the fans, it’s all about the music, (dollars and cents!, you and whose army! TSH!) however Radiohead is the best band on earth (maybe even the universe) and getting to be there is a life changing experience.

  • http://www.myspace.com/jahcoca Cöuk

    I agree with u Victor, second night was more ‘intimate’, i was in the two concerts, GRal A, they were happy in both of them, no just the first one. In the first one, they weres just surprised, and then they turn happy !!, the second one, they were happy from beggining to the end. Thom making jokes and laughting while creep !! that was amazing !! of course they were happy to sing creep, as the last one !! just… AWESOME !!!

    Cöuk.

  • Lodi

    For me, this was the best show. Kid A, Dollars & Cents, Like Spinning Plates and Creep were fantastic.

    Gracias Radiohead! Vuelvan a México pronto!

  • Omar T

    Pablo and Andrea, both concerts were awesome if you really appreciate all of their music. Anyway, I can’t believe nobody mentions the magic when they played Like Spinning Plates… I cried like a fucking baby

    You’re totally right about the pushing and yelling, it was really annoying at the beginning. If Radiohead is on the stage you better pay attention to every move, rather going crazy.

  • victor

    like spinning plates you´re rigth its awsome, can’t belive i didn’t mention it sorry

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/defthe1s defthe1s

    Neta que lloré cuando escuché Paranoid Android… y Creep!!!
    FUE LO MEJOR QUE HA PASADO EN EL AÑO Y TAL VEZ EN AÑOS!!
    Suerte que fui al concierto del 16 (el segundo)… boletos revendidos y caros, pero no pude pedir mejor lugar (7 personas adelante de mi en gralB) valió la pena todo el esfuerzo y el conseguir los boletos!!
    Aún me estremezco cuando veo el setlist otra vez y leo los comentario recordando esa noche excepcional!!
    En verdad espero que vengan lo más pronto posible, fue como un gran sueño hecho realidad!!

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/defthe1s defthe1s

    Momento excepcional y memorable cuando tocaron Exit Music (For a Film)
    INOLVIDABLE!!
    Disfruté demasiado las de Kid A, aunque no es de mis discos favoritos. Al igual que Dollars and Cents y karma police…. valla!! LO MEJOR!!

  • Albertouch

    I went both gigs. The best days of my life. I can´t decide wich was better. I cried with HOW TO DISAPPEAR, it was perfect, beatiful. I´ve prefered that the don´t played CREEP and better play Knives out, Planet telex, I might be wrong, Myxomatosis, 2+2=5, Go to sleep or the terrific LET DOWN. The unique stupid damn fuckin bad thing from the concerts was the people around me: poserssss (o no sé como se les llame a esa gente). Maldita gente pretenciosa que no le gusta RADIOHEAD y sólo estaban parados o sentados sin cantar ni moverse.
    Come back soon Radiohead

  • Fernando

    the best concert in my life, amazing track list.
