Are you getting the 20th anniversary reissue? Can't wait to hear studio versions of Lift and Big Boots.

Yes, I preorder the deluxe version!
Can't wait to hear it too.
I was a Radiohead fan before OK Computer but this album just changed everything.
IMO, everything is just perfect, the music, the lyrics, the artwork, ...
I am amazed at how it sounds ageless.

The thing that's "special" to me about Pearl Jam and Radiohead is that I too was there when they began and have experienced all of their albums in order of release, around the time they were released (i.e., Ten in 1992, Vs in 1993, Vitalogy in 1994,... and Pablo Honey in 1994, The Bends in 1995, OKC in 1997, ...) - yes, I was a little late in hearing the debut albums.

Also, Friday night's Glastonbury show has the potential to be very OK Computer heavy. I doubt they'll play the entire album in order (they don't seem to be very keen on Electioneering - and Fitter, Happier might not work mid-show) but I'm hoping the scatter the majority of the other ten tracks throughout the set list. There's usually an excellent audio source that surfaces from these shows.

last time I saw "Electioneering" live was in ATL 1997.

Thom smashed his guitar.

must be a tough song to play live.

Got my hands on a copy of the three new tracks. They're quite good!
