June 4th, 2006 - This night was full of my favorites. “Paranoid…”, “Idioteque”, “How To…”, and “Street Spirit” made the show for me. The ol’ standby “There, There” & “2+2=5″ combo to start things off was nice but predictable. “Lucky” has seemed to wear itself out, especially Ed’s backing wailing. I hate to say it, but the new songs didn’t do much for me, as I don’t like to hear Radiohead songs for the first time live. I’m sure they’ll rock me once the album drops. Either way, two big, fat encores with some serious hard-hitters like “Airbag” and “Karma Police” wrapped it up very nicely. Highly satisfying.

June 5th, 2006 - I was hoping for less repeats and more of the old stuff. I got half my wish. Despite playing most of the new ones and a couple others again, we were treated to a bevy of The Bends and OK Computer-era songs, dultimately finishing with a one-song 2nd chorus of “The Tourist”. I wasn’t too thrilled with the way it started out, though, with “Climbing…”, “Bangers & Mash”, “15 Step”, and “Morning Bell”. They felt subdued and unfamiliar, and out of the first dozen songs, I only really got into “Fake Plastic Trees” and “Knives Out”. That, combined, with the lack of “Let Down” deflated me a little bit, and left yearning for more rare stuff and most importantly, less. new. songs.
