Radiohead is absolutely killing it live right now :o

wow they KILLED karma police. so good. :o

wow they KILLED karma police. so good. :o

 

Brilliant performances of every single song so far... even Identikit and I normally don't like that song :shocked2:

 

Radiohead is simply blowing out every other bands' performances.

 

Edit: They faltered a bit towards the end, especially with the encores. Probably won't rank in the pantheon of transcendent Coachella performances (e.g. Daft Punk in 2006, Björk in 2007, My Bloody Valentine in 2009) but still a great performance. Really glad I stayed up to watch :thumbsup:

That was freaking awesome. Ahhh so glad I stayed in to watch it.

 

They only played 20 songs though!

Oh wow, this performance was amazing, great setlist and everything. Oh god.

Was pretty amazing. I don't like Paranoid Android as a closer though :/ would rather How To Disappear Completely or something. OK Computer sux :angry:

 

e.g. Daft Punk in 2006

Did you see this? if so I fucking hate you

Especially since Thom can no longer sing the song properly. They should bring back Blow Out. :awesome:

I talked a bit about this in the Coachella thread but I've been going to the festival every year since 2004, with the exception of 2005 and this year (although I think I will buy weekend 2 tickets off Stubhub after all :P).

 

Went straight from the Franz Ferdinand set to the Sahara Tent to ensure I would get a decent spot for Daft Punk. Missed out on Depeche Mode but sooo worth it :smug:

 

(On that note, whatever happened to Franz Ferdinand? It's like they disappeared off the face of the planet :shrug:).

Watched the live stream this morning too, they were so amazing. I'm super excited to see them in October :)

Amazing set at Coachella!

 

80 more days until I see them... :wacky:

Especially since Thom can no longer sing the song properly. They should bring back Blow Out. :awesome:

Currently recording a new album, not giving too much away, as they felt the documentation of the making of Tonight was a bit much.

 

Headlining Field Day Festival in London this summer.

 

But as this is a Radiohead thread, woo, Radiohead.

I found this kinda cool

 

For those who missed the stream: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZEb0ZQKaMY]Radiohead Live at Coachella 2012 FULL PERFORMANCE - Pro Shot - YouTube[/ame]

 

It's in poor quality and doesn't even come close to recreating the sounds of the stream, probably because YouTube compresses the audio (I think there's some HD clips floating around if you guys want to look for it).

 

But even still, you can see a band at the top of its game. If they sprinkled in a bit more festival-friendly songs (Fake Plastic Trees, Creep, etc), their 2012 Coachella set would be remembered as one of the festival's greatest performances of all-time. That's how good they were. :shocked2:

Yeah, they gave an excellent performance from start to finish. I wouldn't mind hearing a song or two from The Bends, though. Hopefully they keep on playing this good for the grandissimo European tour.

HD quality.

 

Identikit is amazing! I didn't like it from all the iphone recordings, but sounds great like this.

I think the first part is a tiny bit weird but the the rest sounds really good. Love the vocals.

pretty interesting interview

 

"Godrich cites one classic Radiohead song that was never finished in the studio, “True Love Waits,” a popular concert ballad: “We tried to record it countless times, but it never worked. The irony is you have that shitty live version [on the 2001 mini-album, I Might Be Wrong]. To Thom’s credit, he needs to feel a song has validation, that it has a reason to exist as a recording. We could do ‘True Love waits’ and make it sound like John Mayer. Nobody wants to do that.”"

I want to read the interview so bad. It looks like there's loads of talks about TKOL in it and I'd love to know more about it. I suppose it kinda makes sense why they didn't start touring last year.

^It is amazing. :cool:

 

Radiohead will come to Taiwan this summer for the first time. And I am wondering to buy tickets or not because I don't know Radiohead too much. What should I read or know about them? Please give me suggestions. :)

 

I've listened Pablo Honey, The Bends, Ok Computer, Hail To The Thief. I should listen more, right?

Considering they play songs mostly from Kid A, In Rainbows and especially TKOL, you should listen to these 3 albums.. And yeah, I'd go and see them. :wacko:

Thank you! :)

:lol: okay in that case I'm glad they didn't record a studio version

 

And to your dismay (although others' delight), I broke down and ordered the license plate yesterday. But you'll be happy to know I'll likely switch it out for my old one every now and then (even though that's not really legal). I haven't been pulled over by the police in the 7 years that I've had the car so I'll take my chances that I won't get pulled over anytime soon. I'll just keep the new plate inside the car to be safe if that ever happens. "oh sorry, I didn't know that I couldn't switch them whenever I wanted..."

Thank you! :)
