id say its 50/50..they break it out once in a while..havent played it at all this tour yet (i dont think)..i am more interested in hearing as much new stuff as they can throw at me.
I saw them play that in 2003... meh. they have better songs. it would be fun though, since im sure everyone, even non-fans, would know the words and it would be a huge sing-a-long.
I hope they only play a few new tunes (I just saw them 2 days ago and half the show was new stuff). I guess it's a good opportunity for them to play new stuff to a lot of people...but on the other hand, a 2.5 hour greatest hits set would rock.
I agree with the general consensus that there's plenty of songs better than Creep. That said, we saw them in St. Louis during the Hail to the Thief tour and I'm almost positive they played it there. It was their first time in St. Loius so they played a lot of older tracks to get their fans all caught up.
I could try to come up with a list of all the songs they should play, but my head might explode in the process.

last time they played it was coachella.
Here was the setlist:
1. There There 2. 2+2=5 3. Lucky 4. Myxomatosis 5. My Iron Lung 6. Exit Music (for a film) 7. The Gloaming 8. Karma Police 9. Sail To The Moon 10. I Might Be Wrong 11. Sit Down. Stand Up. 12. No Surprises 13. National Anthem 14. Paranoid Android 15. Idioteque 16. Street Spirit (fade out)
17. You And Whose Army? 18. Planet Telex 19. Creep 20. Everything In Its Right Place
Humanity has advanced, when it has advanced, not because it has been sober, responsible, and cautious, but because it has been playful, rebellious, and immature.

I was at that Coachella. I could swear Creep was the last song they played. Thom dedicated it to the Pixies. I remember thinking to myself that this may well be the last time I ever see Radiohead (number 10). Prior to that I hadn't heard Creep live since the OK Computer tour in 1997. They very rarely play it anymore but I wouldn't be surprised if they bring it out for Bonnaroo. Just a feeling!
oh sweetness! i would die if i got to hear them play the national anthem.
I have a strong feeling you'll get your wish. They do lots of live sampling during the song and it seems to be a live favorite. My hope is that they grab some of the amazing brass musicians that'll be at roo for the crazy brass part on the studio version that they usually don't do live.

I'm 100% sure we'll see the National Anthem, and about 50/50 on them having the brass backup. It really would be a shame if they didn't. That's one easy way to make this experience special.

Although I saw in NME an interview with Colin and he said they are planning some covers for the US tour. Nothing much has surfaced so far but maybe they'll play into the roo crowd with some cool covers. (I'll look for a link).

As far as Creep goes , yes they played it at Coachella, and I believe they played it at Field Day (the disasterous festival that was supposed to be in the same park as Roo north east, but instead was at Giant Stadium), but I am pretty sure the band has said that they really hate the song, making it kind of unlikely they will want to play it, especially since they are bringing in new songs, and covers that they presumably like to play (most bands choose cover songs that are fun, not for thier artistic merit). The more songs they have that they like to play, the less likely it is that Creep gets busted out.

they covered Cinnamon girl in LA a few years ago. I would guess we would get a Gold Rush > Everything in its right place.
and as far as creep goes...dont get me wrong by starting this thread. there's a 'million' other songs i'd love to hear but i thought they might bust it out purely as a treat for us since a lot of people would know it and its their only festival date over in the US.
personally ones i'd like to hear that are rare, new, or i havent heard live: blow out planet telex bones let down videotape arpeggi
ones i have heard and NEED to hear (but might not be played):
talk show host climbing up the walls fake plastic trees just
oh and Johnny said he was kind of sick of playing paranoid android...lets hope that doesnt happen.

I was at Field Day too. Don't recall Creep being played. What I DO recall is that it rained cats and dogs all day and then the rain magically stopped just before Radiohead came on.
I hope they do. I also want Talk Show Host, Climbing up the Walls, Reckoner, Punchup at a Wedding, Knives Out, I might Be Wrong, Where I end and You Begin, Morning Bell, Black Star, Fake Plastic Trees
I'd take those over some of the songs they are playing every night like There There and the Gloaming and a few others.
