watching live in astoria and these bastards are rocking the place. damn, its easy to forget sometimes how fucking awesome their rock roots were. i wish they would make another album so guitar driven as the bends. by the way the dvd was done before the bends came out but they are playing a lot of the songs of the record. highly recommend this dvd.

    This is what I have been wishing for years. I was so disappointed with Hail To The Thief (far too many duff tracks) and I hate In Rainbows - too pretentious and mellow and....urgh, sorry but it's not for me. The b-sides they were releasing during The Bends - OK Computer were phenomenal and head and shoulders above anything they've produced recently.

    Lozenge Of Love
    Palo Alto
    Permanent Daylight
    Trickster
    Lewis (mistreated)
    Meeting In The Aisles

    Imagine if they had released those as an album!! :o

    Nah, I much prefer Radiohead as they are now - and In Rainbows was amazing (funny that you call it "pretentious", when it's easily their most organic record to date; I see nothing wrong with it being "mellow", a good song is a good song, if you only want rockers listen to "Bodysnatchers"). I'd much prefer them to continue to progress their sound instead of just writing Britpop rock songs over and over again. The Bends is great, but hasn't aged very well.

    Pearly and A Reminder are both in my Radiohead top 15 (for very different reasons). Awesome tunes.
    I smile, but who am I kidding...

    saw them in Charlotte during the in Rainbows tour. verizion theatre outside. it was awesome. saw a shooting star also. the only bad part was that my friend's girlfriend is so high strung we had to stop here and there on the way and we missed the first 3 or 4 songs. i could hear them from the road. i wanted to cut that bitches head off. hahaha. you dont fuck with a Radiohead show. since they dont come here much.

    That was a great show! I had pit passes and was dead center about 15 feet from thom. By far my favorite concert to date. The crowd was crazy by far the loudest 2 encores i have ever witnessed. Epic show Oh and by the way Hail to the theif is my favorite radiohead album, by far their greatest work. The bends is probably my second fave.

    call me crazy
    but in rainbows is their best record to date

    I have always tried to get into the other records without success

    and I saw them on this last tour in the states

    simply one of the top live acts in the world right now-just wish they toured more

    Fine lads those Radiohead blokes are. The Kid A/Amnesiac-era is my favorite.

    I agree, but what I don't want them to become is a band who stop doing what made them so good in the first place.
