Awesome show.... I think Thom was a little tipsy towards the beginning, forgot part of the verse on Karma Police but made up for it by changing the words to "this is what you get when you forget the words" on the next chorus
No matter how many times I listen to 2 + 2 = 5, I will never stop thinking that it sounds like he is screaming "Penetration! Penetration! Penetration!"

I made up my own lyrics to Karma Police for the longest time in my youth because I never really knew what Thom was singing at certain points in the song. Then when I looked at the lyrics in my vinyl I had a Llloyd Christmas/Dumb and Dumber moment. "Samsonite!! I was way off!"

2+2=5
Are you such a dreamer? To put the world to rights? I’ll stay home forever Where two & two always makes up five
I’ll lay down the tracks Sandbags & hide January has April showers And two & two always makes up five
It’s the devil’s way now There is no way out You can scream & you can shout It is too late now Because
You have not been paying attention
there is more to the song after this, but this part is one of my favorite lyrical sections of all time. pretty powerful imho when you consider it came out during the peak of the bush administration and thom's concern about global warming.

“God is undoing this nation and effecting all of your lives, with the moth that quietly eats the very fabric of your national garment. Radiohead is just such an event,” read a Westboro statement released by Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich via Twitter. “Freak monkey’s with mediocre tunes keeps you busy and focused by lightness.”

They're basically saying that God is destroying America because of the lack of faith that Americans present in general. Radiohead's music is filler that distracts the masses from what they should truly be focused on and is thereby contributing to our country's ruin.
I want to give hugs to all the Westboro people sooooooo bad.

I'm looking at Radioheads tour buses from my back patio. I live in an apartment complex in Broomfield, CO, that sits between the 1st Bank Center and a fancy hotel. There's a fleet of buses at the hotel, and I'm assuming they have to be theirs. A large part of me wants to go be all stalker-ish and hang out over there. Then be all like "Oh hey guys, just taking my dog for a walk, how's about we hang out and drink some beers?" Great idea or terrible idea?

I'm not very sympathetic when it comes to Westboro. I would honestly celebrate if someone finally snaps and kills many of them. If this makes me a bad person, I do not care. The world would be better without them.

If Im not mistaken I think it might be Roo in 2006 when they played for 28 songs for ~3 hours. On this tour they've all been ~2 hours playing between 23-24 songs

I'm curious to see how long they get at Coachella. Coachella usually gives such short sets and Radiohead usually plays such long ones. I guess we'll know in like 3 weeks...
i really hope that this bonnaroo set lives up to everything it can be!
Thom seems to have a soft spot for Bonnaroo, even though he has complained about its environmental impact in the past. We'll see what they do at Coachella, but I'm expecting a badass setlist on the farm.

Set times for Coachella headliners vary greatly. Both the Cure and Paul McCartney got 3 hours or more, while Kings of Leon last year got an hour and 15.
I would assume Radiohead would get to play a full set (2 hrsish?)
