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 …
- Burn The Witch
- Daydreaming
- Decks Dark
- DID
- Ful Stop
- Airbag
- Kid A (tour debut)
- Separator
- No Surprises
- Glass Eyes (live debut)
- Pyramid Song
- National Anthem
- The Numbers
- Identikit
- Myxomatosis
- Idioteque
- Street Spirit
[End of Main Set]
[Encore 1]
- Bloom
- Present Tense
- EIIRP
- Tinker Tailor Soldier Sailor Rich Man Poor Man Beggar Man Thief
- Arpeggi
[Encore 2]
- Bodysnatchers
- 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.
