So I saw Radiohead's first Sydney show last night and I echo pretty much all of zeb's comments - the band is on fire and the lighting show is incredible.

I must admit to a bit of setlist envy after seeing Brisbane's set, as I would have loved to have seen Airbag and Street Spirit. As expected it was very last-two albums heavy (not necessarily a bad thing - Magpie melts faces and Videotape was a welcome surprise) but there was nothing from Kid A/Amnesiac until the encores. Planet Telex was cool for it's rarity factor, but it's guitar-fuzz sounded bland juxtaposed against the groove of There There - it kinda killed the vibe in the same way Cropduster can. As the sole 'Bends' song, I probably would've preferred any other track from that album.

Since moving to Sydney I've noticed crowds here can be less than enthusiastic, but tonight was a different story - the band was visibly moved by the ecstatic reception they got, which included multiple standing ovations. I guess that's what happens when you only tour here once a decade!

Other highlights:

- Life-affirming rendition of Lucky
- The bowel-loosening bass at the end of Feral
- Give Up The Ghost and its looped vocals
- Paranoid Android and the inevitable crowd reaction
- Running EIIRP seamlessly into Idioteque is a stroke of genius and had the crowd in raptures
- Two drummers - I'm so glad they were able to clone Phil Selway.


Setlist:

Bloom
Lucky
Morning Mr. Magpie
Weird Fishes/Arpeggi
Myxomatosis
The Gloaming
Separator
Staircase
Videotape
Nude
Ful Stop
Lotus Flower
There There
Planet Telex
Feral
Bodysnatchers

Give Up the Ghost
Pyramid Song
These Are My Twisted Words
Reckoner
Paranoid Android

15 Step
Everything in Its Right Place
Idioteque

I loved it when Yorke went "Boop boop boop" just before the first guitar chord. :heartbeat:

Haha, too true!

YES! Thank you, KD.

Forgive me if this has already been addressed (my attendance in this thread, and RM in general, is varied, after all), but are there soundboards or decent audience recordings of this tour circulating? Spenno? Cameronia?

Last spring's Houston date, by no exaggeration, was "life-changing" for me. It was my first professional writing gig, and I've been putting together a portfolio ever since. Practice makes perfect, or something.

The Radiohead community really have their shit together when it comes to these audience-shot DVDs. Very cool of the band to provide soundboard audio for it (again):

There have been a couple of other soundboards sourced from festival webcasts this year, Coachella is probably the best one and is available here:

http://www.radiohead-notforprofit.com/?s=coachella

Plenty of other good audience-sourced recordings on that site too. Pro-shot video rips of Coachella and I think Bonnaroo are available via torrent as well :thumbsup:

Nice!

Hope someone rips the audio from that Roseland show soon.

I really like that disjointed intro they came up with for "Bloom" on this tour. Reminds me a lot of "Convergance" off of the Bodysong soundtrack.
