Radiohead in London Night 2 – setlist and notes

Objectively, this was a brilliant setlist, the pick of the tour so far. But to be honest, I’ve enjoyed them all equally. The band’s back catalogue of thirty years of songs is so strong …

1. Burn The Witch
2. Daydreaming
3. Decks Dark
4. DID
5. Ful Stop
6. Airbag
7. Kid A (tour debut)
8. Separator
9. No Surprises
10. Glass Eyes (live debut)
11. Pyramid Song
12. National Anthem
13. The Numbers
14. Identikit
15. Myxomatosis
16. Idioteque
17. Street Spirit

[End of Main Set]

[Encore 1]

1. Bloom
2. Present Tense
3. EIIRP
4. Tinker Tailor Soldier Sailor Rich Man Poor Man Beggar Man Thief
5. Arpeggi

[Encore 2]

1. Bodysnatchers
2. Karma Police

Anyway, look at the 7 song sequence in the middle of this set – from Airbag through to National Anthem. That was a brilliant sequence.

I loved hearing Glass Eyes live – this had been on my wish list, and again, I had resigned myself to not hearing it because it’s a tough one to reproduce live. But the live version is fantastic. I will post a video in due course.

The atmosphere in the hall was terrific, the most intense so far – a Friday night London crowd hyped up by reviews of the first night like this, this and this. Thom was even cockier than the night before, milking the applause and – right at at the end – leading the audience in their own encore of the final verse of Karma Police as the rest of the band stood off stage.

Awesome.
