I would be ecstatic if I could get my hands on quality recordings from either Boston show from this last summer. 

I feel the same about those two Toronto shows. They were OUTSTANDING.

The two Boston shows shook me. They were so freakin’ good, easily the highlight of my concert year.

2006 Bonnaroo was the best show they ever played. and that's according to Thom himself.

I am so lucky to have been at that show. and the bootleg is AMAZING!! almost studio quality.

That must have been awesome to see them back then.  Agreed, the Bonnaroo boot sounds incredible!    It’s fun checking other shows out...Utrecht 97 sounds great, too

@23skidoo- I’ve only found flac files so far through that particular bootleg website 

Thank you..

I'm not too sure which (Toronto - or Boston) night was better but put them together and you get what I would consider the best concert(s) I've ever witnessed. Such diverse setlists between the two nights but everything I "needed" to hear was played. I left N2 extremely satisfied. 

(FTR: Pearl Jam, 2011-09-11 is the best SINGLE concert I've ever witnessed).

One day, one day I'll see a Radiohead concert. Definitely on my bucketlist.

I have seen them four times....all in 2018

Great shows.  Like PJ in that it's different every night.

Radiohead is in... I’m hoping they stick to their guns.

Well deserved.

Echoed on the Boston shows being amazing....I found them quite boring on the TKOL tour - they were very generous this time around, and Thom sounded spectacular. The Tourist, Talk Show Host, gahhhhh

Last year's wrong has be "righted." 
I'm hoping they attend...play a couple of tunes, anyway. No need for a lengthy acceptance speech.

If there was ever any doubt (and there shouldn't have been), this past summer's tour most definitely sealed the deal.

(God, I wish they'd release bootlegs of those summer shows - a la Pearl Jam)

They were nothing short of a religious experience for me. 5 months later & I’m still floored by what I witnessed those two nights.

the TKOL tour was the only tour I haven't seen them on since the Bends days...... I just could not get into that album.

I've tried and tried and tried and tried to get into TKOL, hoping that it'll grown on me like all of their other albums did. It has yet to happen almost eight years later!
I think if they included The Daily Mail over Feral (and maybe Staircase, but not likely) it would've helped.

yeah. it's a very emotionless album to me. I prefer Thom's first solo record over TKOL.

Radiohead very hit or miss for me.
Each song strikes me as either brilliant and indispensable, or completely unlistenable.

I think the flaw with TKOL is that the recording itself is static for some reason. Once they started playing the tunes live, the songs bang. The From The Basement performance is a better version of that album. I think I play that version more. I think the album is great in general ( it would have been nice to include The Daily Mail/Supercollider/Staircase and The Butcher - But I don't know if those 12 tracks flow as a record), its not their best, but its not the worst and its certainly not an abomination of an album like many people feel.  Codex and Lotus Flower are top tier RH tracks.

-It's (TKOL) in the bottom two for me but yes, Codex and Lotus Flower are decent, as are Bloom and Give Up The Ghost.
-I too prefer the From the Basement session to the actual album. 
-I think all including all 12 songs from that era would have been too many. Most people agree that with Radiohead, less is more, which is why Hail To The Thief suffers even though it has quite a number of solid tracks.

As big of a RH fan that I am, I too can admit most, if not all, of their albums have a clunker or two.
