Looking at setlist.fm, their sets lately have been pretty incredible but they have so many hits that it's hopeless they'd play everything I want to hear. It's almost a certainty they'll open with Bloom, and likely they'll close with Paranoid Android. A 23 song set is very common from shows this year. I'm considering taking my beefy (non-DSLR) camera but people have had bad experiences in the past with Key Arena not letting them in unless they had a simple point and shoot.

Thom Yorke does not read the Sasquatch message board, or he is a douchebag: www.setlist.fm/setlist/radiohead/2012/keyarena-seattle-wa-73de0ab9.html10 of my jams were jammed, but they were the same jams they jammed last time through, plus the new ones, minus the new one that I wanted to hear most (Separator). I was hoping for some fresh jelly, but it was still a damn fine show. The true beauty of the new material was revealed (Lotus Flower, Feral), and having an identical twin Phil drumming dual added a healthy punch to the oldies (Airbag, Pyramid Song, Idioteque). Thom did his creepy dance, Colin made his creepy faces, and the visuals were amazing as expected. We found out near the end that Jonny's hand was injured which explains the lack of apeshit guitar solo jams. That hand is going to heal and they are going to rock the fuck out of Coachella even harder, times two.

Not a big RHCP pepper fan either, except "under the bridge".

If it's possible for a show to be great but also disappointing, that's what Radiohead was last night to me. I can't get into their stuff after Kid A anywhere near how much I love everything including/before it, and for this set about two thirds of the songs were from the later albums. There's at least a dozen songs I wanted to hear badly that weren't played. If it hadn't been so heavy on their more recent stuff, and included songs like The Bends, The National Anthem, Paranoid Android, Karma Police, High and Dry, Fake Plastic Trees, etc it likely would have been the best show I've ever attended. Because of those omissions, it'll settle somewhere in my top 15.
Highlights for me were How to Disappear Completely, Lucky, Reckoner and Everything In Its Right Place.
Here's my video that turned out decently.

Not to be a jerk or anything...but were you really expecting anything different than what they've been doing for the past 5 years?

I guess I set my expectations too high, and considering I looked through the last 10 or so setlists before the show, I should have known what the show would be like. I had a list in my head of 10-12 songs that I seriously wanted to hear and they played one of them, hence the slight disappointment. Several of these songs were played in other cities recently, so it's not like I was wishing for some shit they haven't played for years.

LOG LADY SIGHTING AT SLEIGJ BELLS!! Coolrst girl! Log Lady! I was standing waiting for our party to come through the metal detectors and a lovely woman came up to me and said, "are you Stormy?" I was. We didn't really get a chance to chat because the show was starting but she seemed cool. Log Lady if you are reading this it was nice to meet you! Eeep I just found this thread - it was really nice meeting you, too! Haha, I sort of did a double-take when I walked past you and just had to say something! Sorry we didn't really get the chance to talk all that much once the show started Did you guys have a good time? They are one of my favorites. Sheer luck that we caught them when we did since they canceled the next night in Seattle. Several years ago we had tickets to see them with Yeasayer but they canceled at the last minute due to a family emergency.

It was also funny because we had four boarders in our group and Geno was there too. I really did enjoy it, although I do wish it would have been longer. I was hoping for at least an hour. But I am glad we got to see them since she got laryngitis the next day or whatever.

And holy shit! Garth Brooks is playing the stampede. Fuck yes. I am definitely there. Today is a good news day! As awesome as it would be to see him, I guarantee that these tickets are going to be insanely fucking expensive and will sell out in seconds. Rumour has it though, that there is a second show already planned, which will also sell out in seconds. Oh wow, every seat in the dome for Garth Brooks is $62. That is insane! Tickets go on sale Saturday. Damn it I'm in California, my friend better be on the fucking ball for this one.

I stand corrected in my comment that Garth Brooks tickets would be outrageously priced. I hope your friend gets tickets for you Womp. It's going to be a good show. Come to think of it, I hope I get tickets for the show as well.

Because of those omissions, it'll settle somewhere in my top 15. I feel you, dude. If it weren't for Jonny's fucked up hand they would've given us 'The National Anthem' and 'Paranoid Android'. White River in 2008 was definitely a better show for me if not just because of 'The National Anthem'. How fucking cool was 'Airbag', though? Pretty fucking cool.

So I just heard that Blur is playing their last show ever on the last day of the Olympics with New Order and the Specials. I was planning to leave London about 4 days before this for Belgium and Ampsterdamn, but I almost think this might be skipping Belgium and shaving a couple days off of Ampsterdamn to see. So tempting.
