I felt indifferent about the whole thing. I only got Amnesiac, Kid A and In Rainbows recently and was a little peeved that they played a lot of songs from those, but as we've come to know about Radiohead they get bored easily with the songs that bring them the most commercial success (ironic, then, that it is those tracks that encourage most fans to come see them live.)I was waiting the entire time for the gig to really kick off and yes, at any time I thought they'd bust out 2+2=5 and we could start raving or bouncing around like teenagers again. Some of their choices were poor in my opinion, a lack of recognition for Let Down was my peeve. There wasn't a lot of love in the crowd, I thought, but if that seranaded us we'd have come together like never before.I have a feeling that, like 'albumental' suggests, we shouldn't want to see Radiohead perform random songs in future. We should ask they tell us the two albums they're going to get through beforehand so we can decide which night we want to go so that no one is disappointed. Personally I think their music works well in the context you hear it and it should remain that way.
