They seem to be warming up to some of the abandoned OKC material. SHA at Roseland, Meeting in the Aisle and a set-closing Karma Police on monday, I would think that if they're ever going to play that song again, it will be on this tour.
Well crap. Here I've been thinking all this time people thought I was smart.
But now you know they think you've got great boobs!
Julie is SUPER smart. In both senses of the phrase.
Sidebar-back-to-this-thread-topic: Can we get some Lucky up in here? If this is gonna be an OKC heavy tour, my vote for not-obvs-OKC-song is Lucky. DO IT THOM. or I will crawl up on that stage and yank your new ponytail.

If this isn't "hype" enough for you, then I'm with Juggs, Radiohead is just not for you.
Its funny that you posted two of the handful of songs I like by them. I dunno, maybe they are more exciting live than on their albums or something.
I've been trying to get some of my friends into Radiohead so I have someone to enjoy them with. I made this playlist if you're interested I always recommend In Rainbows to get people started, it's accessible and a good gateway to their current live shows.
Also, when I first started listening to Radiohead, Chuck Klosterman's essay on Kid-A had a big effect on me. It's probably a large reason I consider Kid-A to be the best album of my lifetime. I only read it once 7 years ago, so I don't know how well it stands up to time and my new advanced age (and frankly I don't want to find out), but it's worth checking out.
I was surprised to see anything from OKC on the set list, much less 2 and a B-side. The roo show has the potential to be so epic.
I am very much in favor of a left side of the what stage pit inforoo meet up. I'm gonna be there either way, might as well hang with you losers.
Yes, what is everyone's pit strategy for this show? I've never had trouble getting into the pit at Bonnaroo. However, I imagine this will be the toughest pit entry of the weekend.

Just let Andrew Jackson do the talking and you'll be fine.

As far as OK Computer goes, I would love some Meeting in the Aisle for the Atlanta show! Of course there are the obvious ones I'd love to see (Lucky, Airbag, No Surprises, Exit Music, Paranoid Android- which was the first Radiohead song I ever heard at the age of 11 or 12 and it got me hooked), but the b sides from OKC are really some of the best.
I'm hoping for a lot of In Rainbows disc 2 as well. I remember seeing Bangers and Mash in 08, but I think that was it (idr if it was Charlotte or Lolla). I was some 4 Minute Warning, MK1, Up On The Ladder, and my personal favorite Last Flowers.
It's always a tough call to pick your favorite Radiohead album, but I think (gun to my head) I'd have to pick Hail to the Thief. I hope they do a couple of the less played (from 08 at least) HttT tracks. I remember only about 3 at Lolla (The Gloaming, 2+2=5 in the second encore and another one?), and about 4 in Charlotte (Sail to the Moon, There There, and Myxomatosis come to mind). I really want to hear Sit Down, Stand Up, which I know they did in Atlanta the day before Charlotte via some friends. But I'd love A Punchup at a Wedding, Backdrifts, or A Wolf at the Door.
I will say that Fake Plastic Trees at Lolla was a life changing experience. I hope to see it again, whether in Atlanta or at Coachella or Bonnaroo.
Sorry for the lengthy song requests, etc. I get carried away when thinking about Radiohead live.

Can't wait to finally see Radiohead!!!!
Also, turns out I'll be studying abroad in Australia when they head to AUS, which is exciting. I haven't actually gotten into the program yet, though, and tickets go on sale soon. Do we think they'll sell out two nights in Sydney quickly?
2012 shows: 3/23 - The Men 4/9 - Of Monsters & Men 4/21 - Bassnectar 5/2 - Shpongle 5/22 - Jack White 6/1 - tUnE-yArDs 6/7-6/10 - Bonnaroo 2012 6/18 - Destroyer 6/20 - The Tallest Man On Earth 6/23-6/24 - Governor's Ball

Wow. I was just using setlist.fm (a great site for those who don't know!), and Miami was the FIRST TIME EVER that they have played Meeting in the Aisle live!! EVER! I knew it was rare, but damn! Also, they played House of Cards at Bonnaroo in 06, and somehow I didn't know that! Wtf? (I didn't start going to Roo until 07 ftr)
Btw for those who don't know, setlist.fm shows stats for every single concert (more or less). The stats they keep are incredible. Go to Radiohead and just start playing around and you'll find some cool shit.

Given that I know nothing of Radiohead's popularity there, I would say yes. Sydney is a really big city, and big acts down under would be more rare (I assume?) since it's a bit of a journey from Europe/the US.
Again, I don't really have any idea other than that educated guess.

Finally, someone else who is flipping out over "Meeting in the Aisle" as much as me. In my opinion, that song should have been on the OK Computer album over "Fitter, Happier." Who knows if we will get it at Bonnaroo. I just never thought they would start playing those OK Computer b-sides live again. I love that whole EP so much.

Thanks!
and I'm also a huge setlist.fm fanatic. I use that site all the time. This will be my third Bonnaroo, and every year I make a crazy comprehensive Bonnaroo playlist, pulling a lot of info from setlist.fm to see what each band has been playing recently.

I hope there is very little crowd singing for the roo set, one of the best parts of the APW 2008 shows was that everybody was just silent and in awe.
I love crowd singing.... at least on big anthems like Karma Police, not on songs like Exit Music.
I should rephrase, I hope there is not crowd singing on songs off Kid A/In Rainbows/TKOL. I do agree with the big anthem singalongs, singing street spirit at V festival in 2006 was a magical moment

NotMyChild, I was at the charlotte show as well in 08, the fourth HttT one you're forgetting is Where I End and You Begin.
That charlotte show was like one of the best shows I'd ever seen. That thunderstorm coming in with the lightning was intense but somehow it passed and I didn't get wet at all (at least not from the rain). Planet Telex knocked me off my socks.

First, I love that NotMyChild has caught on hahaha. But yes, that show was incredible. I got wet (both from the rain and in other ways). I was riding with a friend and we made a really long drive to get there, and drank most of the way. We got there a little late, and parked really far away. As we were walking in, it started lightly raining on us in the parking lot right as they started playing. We, and the few hundred other people around us, all sprinted full-speed and got in before the first song was over. Even from the lawn, that show was one of the absolute best I've ever seen. Planet Telex was definitely one of the highlights! My favorite was probably Reckoner, though. I liked it on the album, one of my favs, but hearing it live- especially closing the show- just blew me away. I felt similarly about House of Cards ending the first encore, too (I hope I remembered their placements correctly, I should probably check on setlist but I should really get back to studying).
