Listening to Radiohead's live performance at Musique Plus. They actually sound much better live. I'm not saying that the album work is bad, I just think that it always sounds better during a live show because... there's no mixing or remastering, it's just delivered raw as it is. Anyways, it's quite a good listen. The songs are almost all from their latest album, "Hail to the Thief."
Setlist: 1. Go To Sleep
2. Sail to the Moon
3. A Punchup at a Wedding
4. No Surprises (from OK Computer)
5. I will
6. There There
7. Everything in It's Right Place (Off the Kid A album)
8. Karma Police (from OK Computer [one of their best albums])
9. Like Spinning Plates (From Amnesiac)
All the songs are really well done, especially considering they were performed with only an acoustic guitar and Thom's vocals. I also think there was a keyboard and synthesizer. The songs aren't depressing at all, in my opinion, and are pretty... I don't know, uplifting?
I couldn't help but be impressed by Thom Yorke's lyrical skills. Where else would you hear lyrics like "Karma Police, arrest this man. He speaks in maths, he buzzes like a fridge."? Or that one from Talk Show Host, "You want me? Well fucking well come and find me. I'll be waiting with a gun and a pack of sandwiches."
I'm done raving about Radiohead.
So, what's up with you?
