I think it can definitely be a difficult balancing act the more members you add (Pearl Jam is an example of a band that for me doesn't really handle their three-guitar configuration all that well), but Radiohead's always struck me as one of the bands most adept at it. I think it's the fact that the members, particularly Johnny, can so easily find another way into the song besides through the guitar (or, in Ed's case, treating the guitar to a degree that it doesn't sound like one at all).

hey guys, it's two songs brought to you by 2/5 of Radiohead. take it. leave it, da da da da da da.

i love RH. you love RH. we all scream for RH.

the bends is great.

please accept these new songs in the year of our lard 2022.

i love you,

dad

well that sure was dismissive

maybe i am your real dad after all.

Oh, touché

i'm sorry i yelled.

All this Radiohead talk and no one has pointed out that ‘The Smoke’ sounds much more like Thom’s solo work than anything from Radiohead.

Yeah, sounds like Atoms for Peace.

I agree

The smoke is better

If nothing else comes of this st least I am listening to Sons of Kemet now.

It’s not Radiohead because Ed moved to Brazil

It's certainly more familiar and expected

Is that true? Why’d he do that?

I'm guessing some of those "come to Brazil" messages just got sent to the wrong Ed

Loved the show! Joe Jackson cover to close it out was wonderful. Apparently Colin was in the audience. My crack about Ed was probably misplaced, but he did definitely move to Brazil.

So what do you think? This is the audio rip of the final show:
