Tonight was Radiohead's fifth gig in Portugal and the second at the Porto Coliseum.

'There, there' had the usual drumming by Ed & Jonny, back vocals by Phil and also Jonny drumming on his guitar.

'Scatterbrain' was introduced as a new song. Thom: ..'and after that five more new songs and then some more songs'.

Some changes in the setlist when it comes to new and old songs. The usual end of the setlist was again 'Everything in it's right place'.

Colin, Jonny & Thom came back for the first encore to play 'Like Spinning Plates'. Something went wrong wit either Thom or Colin. So, they had to start again. Thom's piano playing wasn't perfect either:)

The rest of the band joined in for 'Go to sleep'. And after 'Airbag' and a beautiful 'How to disappear' the band went backstage again. The crowd sang a lenthy 'Ole, ole', which made Thom hit the piano when the band came back and tried to play along. But the band played new song 'We suck young blood' & 'Karma Police for the second encore. 'Karma Police' was the biggest singalong of the night.

Untill the band came on stage again. Thom said to Jonny: "Let's do the piano thing in the end, yeah',..Creep was the closer of the night. The crowd went completely mad and it was probably the perfect ending of Radiohead's Portuguese tour.

Can radiohead get better than this show in the current tour? i doubt it , but i have already made some mistakes...

So, yes , this was the greatest show in their tour until now. and , yes , they played creep. and , no, thats not the reason i think it was their best show. its just the athmosphere and the crowd, and the band at their best form.

i didnt feel like quening for the show. so i got in late and just took the same position more or less as last night. i had a great view of all the band except for phil.

now the show started with some new songs again. and thom threw the lyric of the songs to the crowd. i didnt see him doing it in the other shows but i might be wrong...

the band and thom was in a good mood even though thom didnt talk too much. the setlist was somewhat worse than last night show with no the bends songs (if i am not wrong). I was happy to hear lucky again. hopefully they dont drop it until the end of the tour. they also didnt play my favrorite (so far..) new song which is something with the moon (sail to the moon or something like that).

but on the other hand we got 3 encores again. After the band came out to 2nd encode thom was playing a few seconds in the piano from "ole ole ole". and the crowd got mad. during karma police
thom started singing "blah blah blah" which was quite funny , like he sang it so many times and doesnt feel like singing it again... no suprises was also pretty good.

but of course there was a 3rd encore too. and when the band got back thom was laughing and said this is going to be a master- shock. and then they started playing creep and the crowd got
completely mad. i like creep but i guess i would prefer a rare bside or something. but i was a minority in the crowd...

mmm , thats it.
looking forward to san sebastian.
