The fourth gig in Portugal and Radiohead's first in Porto was at a beautiful coliseum. The band played a solid set, again starting with the new songs. As Thom said it: "first we are going to play some new songs, then we are going to play some old songs and then..er.. we don't know yet".

There, there was the opening for all the Portuguese gigs, and so it was tonight as well. After Scatterbrain thom introduced two songs as being about the plague (Keep the wolf from the door & Myxomatosis),

Sail to the moon was dedicated "to those wo are here ..er..on holiday". Lift was played again this time on the end of the set of new songs, or on the beginning of the set of old songs. Decide for yourself:)

It seemed that 'I might be wrong really got the party started. The audience was going wild. Again some flamenco handclapping supported by Ed & Colin in songs like 'Morning Bell'. The band seemed in a very good mood. Thom did say much though, but did seem to have a good time. Everything in it's right place was the usual closer for the regular set.

The band returned shortly afterwards. Jonny came running from backstage with a big jump, like he was celebrating the win of world cup. National Anthem rocked and another new song was played, "Where I end and you begin". Thom was grinning at the audience during 'You and whose army' and the encore closed with Fake Plastic Trees.

The second encore started with new song 'Sit down, Stand Up' and 'Exit Music' seemed to be the last one of the show, untill the band came back for a third encore with oldies, "Just" and "Street Spirit".

In the end, a very energetic & solid show with 26 songs & three encores!review by yaron

Wow. its really amazing how Radiohead are getting better with each
show in this tour. or maybe its just me that gets crazier. i donno.

The venue is porto seems to be a bit smaller and nicer than the one in Lisbon.

This time I decided to stand on the left side on the 1st row. Four Tet was Four Tet.... not more than that.

The crowd were again pretty good but I think not as good as in Lisbon. Thom was quite quiet and didnt joke and talked too much. but on the other hand we got the best setlist so far...

and just when I thought that this time Radiohead arent going to surpise me this still managed to do it... this time they debuted in limbo for the first time in this tour. I didnt think it was so good though.. not one of my favorites. and they also played Lift in the part of the new songs. i wonder if that means that they are considering recording it for the new album. i really hope so.

but the big suprise for me was that they played 3 encores with so many the bends songs (even though the setlist only listed 2 encores). they played both mil and just and both fpt and street
spirit , when they usually only played one of them. they were all really good. so i was happy. this was definitely the best show in this tour until now. oh, and they didnt play karma police , which
was also quite a big surprise..

oh and i also got to meet the god of internet websites Adriaan. which was quite nice. and believe it or not he is quite a nice fellow...

mmm , thats all now.
now to the 27th.
