Viaene Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Radiohead Kick Off 2008 World Tour Radiohead kicked off their 2008 world tour at the Cruzan Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach, Florida last night (May 5). The band are playing a string of US dates before heading to Europe this summer. According to Ateaseweb.com, following an hour-long performance by support band Liars, the group took to the stage draped with two Tibetan flags, to play a 24-song set, featuring two encores and saw frontman Thom Yorke joking about the amount of plastic surgery cases he saw while in Miami ahead of the gigs. "We spent three days at Miami Beach. ******* hell! What’s going on there?" he asked. "Some kind of reconstruction! for once I was proud to white, pale and English." The band played almost all of new album 'In Rainbows', bizarrely omitting the record's first single 'Jigsaw Falling Into Place'. There were also rare live outings for the likes of 'Optimistic' (from 2000's 'Kid A') and 'Bulletproof (I Wish I Was)' from 1995's 'The Bends'. Radiohead played: 01. All I Need 02. Bodysnatchers 03. There There 04. Reckoner 05. The Gloaming 06. Morning Bell 07. Nude 08. How To Disappear Completely 09. 15 Step 10. Arpeggi 11. Idioteque 12. Bulletproof (I Wish I Was) 13. Where I End And You Begin 14. Airbag 15. Everything In Its Right Place 16. The National Anthem 17. Videotape 18. Optimistic 19. Just 20. Faust Arp 21. Exit Music (For A Film) 22. Bangers And Mash 23. House Of Cards 24. Street Spirit (Fade Out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daslied Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 I'm going to see them on Friday, and I can't wait. I last saw them on the Pablo Honey tour, so it's sure to be different... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLizard Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Holy crap, what a set list. Have fun das! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible_r Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 why would they omit 'Jigsaw Falling Into Place', it's the best song in "in rainbows"? I sort of wanted to see them too - although I have seen them twice already, in 2000 and 2004- but the ticket was just too expensive! Let us know how it was!

daslied Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 The first show will be hard to top. Somebody in the crowd hit Thom with a shoe (I think) and he called the dude a "bloody skullcap" and walked off the stage for a little bit. That was entertaining. Apparently the set list changes nightly, and I have a hard time believing they won't play "Paranoid Android". I'd love a few more from "The Bends", too.

Viaene Posted May 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 (edited) The issue will be that their set is longer then 1h30 and Rock Werchter is really strict in playing time I hope Paranoid Android doesn't fall out that way!

daslied Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Right before they played it Thom said "This is a nasty little bugger", so I was pretty sure what was coming. Viaene, this set was right at 2 hours, so I hope they don't have to leave anything out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
