Ah, when I saw them in Lisbon the first song of the Encore was Talk Show Host. So awesome.

They are playing in Cologne in October but honestly I think 40€ is a little too much.

That seems a bit steep. Think I paid about $45 per ticket. I'll have to give that new song a listen. Thanks for posting.

No problem! I love the breakbeat in the middle...so awesome.

Sadly, I paid a lot more than $45 a ticket to see them (let's just say some pedal funds were reallocated)!

Bet it was worth it though. Am I right?

Oh no doubt! Best concert I've ever been to, hands down.

I'm seeing them in Berlin in July. I like the mix on the setlists they have, although I'm not too keen on TKOL stuff.
I'd rather them play more stuff from The Bends like Bulletproof, or even My Iron Lung.

Idioteque looks awesome live.

Although I was a fan of TKOL, the From The Basement performance absolutely blew my mind. I saw them at the Roseland gig back in September of last year, and they managed to bring these songs to life just like they did on the FTB performance. However, when I saw them again (on the first of June) the songs changed even further, and have developed into really something special when performed live. The percussion, guitars, and synths all mesh perfectly and take you somewhere awesome.

Over at /r/radiohead I've been doing discussion posts every night (with live/close to live setlist updates) and on this tour, the most we have seen of The Bends is Street Spirit and Planet Telex (as well as some rehearsals of Talk Show Host). Prepare to see a decent amount of Amnesiac and Kid A, because they like playing some of the rarer tracks (including b-sides).

Unless they are doing some brilliant reinterpretation of Planet Telex then son I am disappoint. It is my least favourite song from the Bends.

I shall do some youtubin' in the morning and hopefully eat my words. I know I want to see how they're playing Talk Show Host now.

The show tonight, on the 15th anniversary of OK Computer, ended in tragedy as the stage collapsed, killing one construction worker on the job. The gig was promptly cancelled. This was the last show of the NA TKOL tour.

Their drum tech died also.


In other news, when I saw the bends live, it made my life.

...concerts in Berlin and other european cities cancelled

I saw them a few years ago and didn't think much of the gig. I think it was around the time I was starting to go off radiohead though.

Turns out it was only the drum tech who died. That report of the construction worker was entirely false.

False; the shows in Italy, Germany, and Switzerland have been postponed. They need time to build/recreate the light show as well as replace all of their broken equipment and of course deal with such a loss of their touring family.

To quote Radiohead:

We aim to announce the new dates for these shows on Wednesday 27th of June and will also supply information on how to obtain refunds on tickets if you cannot come to the show on the new date.
