I dunno, seemed more 'old school hits' last night in Houston than I remember from the In Rainbows tour. Lots more screaming from the recognition of older songs. I think I preferred the last tour tho. Yorke was having a time hitting those high notes on Airbag. Light show, as always, was amazing. More weed than a Grateful Dead show.

I guess it depends on your definition of "old school," but 70% of your show was from the last two albums or non-album/new tracks.

The In Rainbows tour was a little more diverse IIRC. This tour has a definite focus on a specific aspect of the band's sound. Expect to hear mostly percussion-centric songs and most of those being very repetitious and minimalist. I would have liked a broader spectrum of songs but it's not a huge deal really. I was surprised at the exclusion of some songs though. 15 Step was one I thought would be a dead ringer. Made it a huge surprise to hear Karma Police and Street Spirit though, after 2 hours of clickity clickity boom clickity clickity boom the Bunt fucked around with this message at Mar 4, 2012 around 22:24 |

It seems like Ed wasn't wrong for once - this is the "new live Radiohead"! I'm not sure why, but IR, TKOL and HTTT material form a trilogy in my head. I'd almost prefer not to hear anything older on this tour. Ruins all the clickity boom. And frankly I'd be happy to attend a gig where they just played Feral for 2 hours. Besides, as a big RH loser nerd I'm bored of the 'classic' stuff anyway, but that's quite selfish of me and I know the majority(?) of fans attending concerts probably want to hear Just and Fake Plastic Trees.

Right, and on paper IR is more like OKC than TKOL or HTTT, but I still group it with them. It's nothing to do with chronology and more the weird, dark swagger those albums seem to have, and the kruatrocky rhythms... but maybe they just seem fresher because they're younger!

Sonofabitch. Looks like the only chance I'm gonna have at seeing radiohead on this tour (or maybe ever) is bonaroo. Looks like I'll be there with all the loving 17 year olds tripping balls on acid.   Whatever though, that setlist looks pretty drat good to me. If they close with Street Spirit ima bust a nut. The only song that closed an album that I think I'd like to hear more for a concert closer is The Tourist. Also, The Daily Mail is one of my favorite radiohead songs of all time so that may also be worth braving bonaroo. Anyone see them last time they did bonaroo?

So what's the way to go about getting these tickets? Will there be a presale or anything or is it just Ticketmaster?

W.A.S.T.E. presale 3/8, apparently, with public sale on 3/10 (via Ticketmaster or whatever).

Is there a particular time that the WASTE presale goes on sale? I remember in college my friend had a program that refreshed the radiohead.com site every like 45 seconds and if it was changed, it alerted him. It alerted him at like, 3:45 AM, and he still was only able to get like, lawn seats. Or is it a bit more sane, and it's at 10 AM, like most on-sale times?

They have gone onsale any time from around 10:00 GMT (2006 tour) to 14:00 GMT (2008 tour) to 13:00 GMT (current tour). It's never exactly on the hour or anything, and yes, the best way to get tickets is to keep monitoring it obsessively. Annoying, maybe, but I've never had any problem getting floor or very close seated tickets to Radiohead.

I was surprised after seeing how fast many of these shows sold out that the Tampa show had a fuckton of extra space and empty seats all around.

gently caress that Bell Centre show is going to sell out soooo fast. Last time they played Montreal to 60,000 people and Bell Centre holds 1/3 that. I'm going to be trying for Montreal first and Toronto second, anyone else hitting these shows?

I wish they'd bring back Backdrifts. Am I the only person who likes that song a lot? I think it's absolutely killer and would have been such a perfect fit on this tour...at least much better and more engaging than Meeting in the Aisle

Looks like we might be getting the first ever live performance of The Amazing Sounds of Orgy tonight (and Skirting in the Surface if Thom is feeling generous?!): We're six songs in and it's been 100% right so far. e: yep, there it goes. woo!

Late to the party, but I was at the Tampa show last week. It was a killer set, although I am a bit jealous that Houston got Paranoid Android and Twisted Words. Some random thoughts: First, don't be hating on Meeting in the Aisle. It was a real fun song live, and Thom was prancing around like a goober and making funny faces during it. I let out a very loud "OMIGOD" when Thom began singing True Love Waits. Then it transitioned into a fantastic rendition of Everything in its Right Place, but man, was that a tease. There was one point where Thom kept accidentally walking into the microphone in between songs. He is a silly man. I think somebody here asked about how Feral sounds live? I thought it sounded fan-loving-tastic. But I apparently like TKoL more than anyone else on the planet, so I may be a bit biased. I just love the gently caress out of Phil's drumming and the Portishead dude really adds a lot to the band. Finally, from a visual perspective, the ever-shifting monitors were a great addition to the live show. Seriously, if you can go see them, do it.

What time do the W.A.S.T.E tickets typically go on sale on the Radiohead site? With the UK tour dates (finally) having been announced I know it's going to be a total clusterfuck scramble... Crystael fucked around with this message at Mar 6, 2012 around 10:31 |

I didn't know Radiohead have never played Amazing Sounds of Orgy live before. You know, considering how awesome that song is, as well as Pyramid Song (my favourite Radiohead song ever), Transatlantic Drawl and Kinetic, I think the Pyramid Song EP may be my favourite Radiohead release of any length.

The melody of Skirting on the Surface is really great, but I'm sure I've heard an earlier of it that was a lot more upbeat. I'm not sure it works as well slowed down. Loving the new songs so far though. One of my favourite parts of following Radiohead's career is trying to guess what direction they're heading in next.
