ALBUMENTAL IS SPOT ON AND IS THE ONLY PERSON TALKING SENSE ON HEREAnd you should change the review headline as Thom was clearly being ironic, and it refers to one bloody song!More than most bands Radiohead are a fans' band and they know that many many people in the crowd will have seen them before and are massively there to hear the new material, and to hear old material conveyed in new ways and contexts. eg: witness extra samples in climbing up the walls and how layered and pschedelic airbag and planet telex have now become.They acknowledge that there fans are intelligent sentient beings who get off on good music and want to be mindfucked by an amazingly intense audio/visual experience. To whinge about not hearing this song or that song is fucking bullshit- if this band are life you will follow them around to hear whatever snatches of songs you are begging to hear before they retire and are no more. Every second you hear them live is a blessing. . If you want it badly enough you'll do it- and i've pretty much heard so many of my favourite songs of their's many times over in different contexts. So to come on here and winge that there wasn't enough OKC or The Bends- fuck off. Look at the stats of the songs they have been playing- culled from every era except Pablo with a MASSIVE heavy bias towards the new material which is what the band and hardcore fans want as they've heard the bulk of their back catalogue many times over on previous tours. This is an IN RAINBOWS TOUR YOU KNOBS- what the hell did you think they were gonna play?
