Stop. That is KISS level, right there.

I could see Wayne Coyne just rolling off that thing and getting tossed back up there, over and over again.

After listening to a considerable amount of Radiohead over the past several weeks I've decided that "Where I End and You Begin" is a top 4-5 Radiohead song for me, and one of their absolute best live songs. They really should play it more often.

Also: I really think that, while HTTT isn't their best album, it's their best tour (it's either this or the pre-Kid A tours in 2000). They were on almost every night, their setlists were great, they played with a ton of energy and passion and the vibe was just great, pretty much every night. I've found myself listening more and more to shows from this era when I go back to live Radiohead.

I've sung the praises of the HTTT tour before so totally with you on that Matt

The AMSP tour has been a cracker as well - I wish we had some quality soundboards though

I've recently completed my Radiohead vinyl collection and after revisiting all of the albums I would now rank them thus:

Ok Computer
In Rainbows
Kid A
Hail To The Thief
A Moon Shaped Pool
The Bends
Amnesiac
King of Limbs
Pablo Honey

If anyone is interested, here's a blog that has 39 Radiohead shows ripped from webcasts and radio performances throughout their career. Lots of other bands there, too. http://livebootlegconcert.blogspot.com/ ... /Radiohead

I had no idea these guys had the wealth of b-sides they do until very recently. I knew the In Rainbows stuff from the second disc, and kept tabs on the King of Limbs follow ups, but there's honestly a treasure trove for every album.

meanwhile, in Pearl Jam-land. . .

And there are even more in the vault - which if this conspiracy theory is true might be getting liberated very soon

Then there are some more incidental rumors that line up with all this: last year, someone posted on the Radiohead Reddit board about a possible OK reissue coming this May: "I heard from someone with connections to the band (I am being intentionally vague) that an OKC reissue was in the works with extra unheard and unreleased tracks." (As for what could be on the reissue: there's a long list of legendary songs which were recorded/attempted during the OKC sessions, and which fans have been clamoring for, including "Lift," "I Promise," "Big Boots," "Follow Me Around," and the original versions of "Last Flowers," "Nude" and "True Love Waits.")

I liked their night 2 setlist from the Greek Theater last week:

Daydreaming
Desert Island Disk
Ful Stop
15 Step
Airbag
Climbing Up the Walls
Separator
Videotape
Pyramid Song
Street Spirit (Fade Out)
Where I End and You Begin
Identikit
Weird Fishes/Arpeggi
The National Anthem
The Numbers
There There
How to Disappear Completely

Encore:
Give Up the Ghost
Feral
Paranoid Android
Present Tense
House of Cards

Encore 2:
Bloom (Not on written Setlist; ' These Are My Twisted Words' was listed as an alternate)
Nude ('Planet Telex' listed as an alternate on the setlist)
Karma Police

lol

so evidently something's up related to the 20th anniversary of the release of OKC. stay tuned . . . I guess.

Re-release + unreleased tracks from that era (that are probably on Every Last Crumb)

There are tons of tracks that never saw the light of day, and just from this era there's "Lift", "I Promise", "Big Boots", "Follow Me Around" and likely others. There are also early versions of "True Love Waits", "Last Flowers", "Motion Picture Soundtrack", "Life in a Glasshouse", and possibly "The National Anthem".

Add to that the possibility of live stuff, alternate takes, etc and if this is indeed a reissue, it could be amazing.

Yep - I am cautiously optimistic this is really happening.

It seemed a bit odd that Nigel would post a pic of True Love Waits production notes from the OKC sessions the other week, but this would explain it.

I also don't think it's necessarily a coincidence that they resurrected "Let Down", "Subterranean Homesick Alien" AND "The Tourist" all in the same tour. The first two were played last year (SHA only once though) but they hadn't played "The Tourist" since 2008. I noted that by three shows into the tour, they'd played everything but "Electioneering". It wouldn't be a shock to see them play the full album, even though that's not really something they do. But that being said, they've played full albums on tour before (The Bends several times in 1995, OK Computer at least once in 1997, In Rainbows and TKOL routinely on their respective tours) without making a big deal out of it (because they didn't play the songs in sequential order).

I proper OK Computer-era recording of Big Boots would completely destroy me. I want that so badly.

IR was played in order once that I know of, just after the official physical release.

I've been to 93 Feet East before - it's awesome and quite tiny, would have been AMAZING to see RH there.
