"Ful Stop" was so amazing on their Glastonbury set last night. So groovy and hypnotic.

I agree. 'Ful Stop', to me, is basically the kind of thing that they were going for on The King of Limbs but perfected.

yeah I was blown away by that Glastonbury performance of "Ful Stop" - the video stream I saw started right in the middle of it. they played "Daydreaming" and "Lucky" before it, right?
― flappy bird, Saturday, 24 June 2017 21:44 (six years ago) link
Yep. Full set audio here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08vkbfb

phil's playing has gotten a lot more creative over the years. the live version of ful stop is a great example

'Daydreaming' is such a fucking awful way to start a set.

no i'm not drunk.
No way, it's a really sweet way to ease in to a set. Not every show has to open with a banger. The pacing of their sets is really spectacular imo - look at the first four songs of the Glastonbury set: lulled in by Daydreaming; going into Lucky, which starts off moody and slow then explodes; into the hypnotic & droney Ful Stop; and then a supercharged version of Airbag. That's a great way to start a show.

It did get a bit morose there in the middle of the set though I thought. Ok it's Radiohead etc. When they played "Ful Stop", I felt I was in some Can in the 70s vibe tho

Not every show has to open with a banger, but I'd prefer them to open with a song that is worthy of actually being an opener.
― The Anti-Climax Blues Band (Turrican), Sunday, 25 June 2017 08:46 (six years ago) link
honestly i was unconvinced by radiohead playing the old shit, which they did for most of their glasto set. when thom sings ok computer songs it's frequently pretty obvious that he was 20 years younger when they did that album. "the king of limbs" is their worst record since "pablo honey" but when they played "bloom" it was a breath of fresh air after their fairly dire stab at "let down". i'm not saying they're in zep '77 territory or 2017 michael mcdonald or anything but not having really paid attention to the group live since around 2003 i was a little shocked at how much worse the ok computer songs sounded, and since the album was a knife-edge away from morose parody in the first place...
― Rodney Stooksbury for President (rushomancy), Sunday, 25 June 2017 12:28 (six years ago) link
I thought 'Bloom' sounded terrible. They've played versions of it which have been astounding, but it wasn't at Glasto.
― The Anti-Climax Blues Band (Turrican), Sunday, 25 June 2017 19:33 (six years ago) link
The setlist spread at Glasto, for anyone who is arsed:
Pablo Honey: 1The Bends: 2OK Computer: 7Kid A: 2Amnesiac: 2Hail to the Thief: 4In Rainbows: 4The King of Limbs: 2A Moon Shaped Pool: 2
― The Anti-Climax Blues Band (Turrican), Sunday, 25 June 2017 19:56 (six years ago) link
so out of 26 songs, _four_ of them were less than 10 years old!
the greatest trick radiohead ever pulled was convincing the world they weren't an oldies band.
― Rodney Stooksbury for President (rushomancy), Sunday, 25 June 2017 20:08 (six years ago) link
Radiohead are not an oldies band. That's a festival setlist - AMSP stuff is not really suited for a festival environment, and the abundance of OKC material obviously had something to do with the reissue. and of course it'd go over well with a broad crowd. Three days earlier in Dublin, the set breakdown was this:
A Moon Shaped Pool: 6Kid A: 4OK Computer: 4In Rainbows: 3Hail to the Thief: 2The Bends: 2The King of Limbs: 2Amnesiac: 1OKNOTOK: 1
Pretty typical for a band that's been making records for 25 years.
― flappy bird, Sunday, 25 June 2017 20:17 (six years ago) link
They were playing a festival setlist, and OK Computer has just been reissued. Their usual non-festival sets haven't been been like that.
― The Anti-Climax Blues Band (Turrican), Sunday, 25 June 2017 20:20 (six years ago) link
i forget which radiohead thread was being used to discuss the OKNOTOK cassette tape, but it's shipping worldwide today so i expect we'll be able to hear it very soon

― global tetrahedron, Tuesday, 11 July 2017 17:13 (six years ago) link
can we all swear a sacred oath to bump this whenever it leaks? and by all i mean you and me at this point, tetrahedron
i will go ahead and draw my own blood in preparation for the oath
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 11 July 2017 17:35 (six years ago) link
because this tape will definitely meet all of my expectations and i won't be disappointed in the slightest

I don’t think I’ll ever love an album of theirs as much as I love Kid A so that’s always top tier for me but I find it weird that the songs from the TKOL sessions are the other ones I keep coming back to the most. Is TKOL my second favorite Radiohead album!?
