anthony Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I caught the Colbert show. I am by no means a Radiohead fanboy, but I am always impressed with what they can do live. Really amazing they can get those sounds out in a live venue with (mostly) traditional guitar-bass-drum setup. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
virtualreason Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Before seeing the performances last night, I was thinking about skipping any tour behind this album. Now I'm convinced they will be exciting live. Don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoy TKOL, but I was worried about its translation into a live setting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigideas Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Yeah, I agree with someone that's it's kinda weird that on their only TV appearances in promotion of TKOL, they play 2 songs you can't even purchase. On SNL they had 2 spots and they only paid one song from their half a year or so old album?Someone brought up National Anthem on SNL 10 years ago - weird that when they played it on Colbert at the end (thought it was cut off on air) Thom had a guitar on even though he wasn't playing. I remember on the SNL performance he was jumping up and down to cue the horns and he didn't have a guitar then. I don't remember if he started with one or not. Pitchfork had a story last week that they plan to tour next year and that the Atoms For Peace project with Thom/Flea/Nigel Godrich is getting close to being finished. I can't remember them ever officially announcing who or why the second drummer was playing with them. I've read he's Portishead's drummer. He didn't play on National Anthem last night, so I guess he only plays on TKOL and newer material? Just so many unanswered questions with the TKOL record cycle. Very strange, even for them. I thought it would have been funny if Colbert talked about the down economy and then asked them why they released an album with 8 trks/37 mins (not that it bothered me) - charging higher per tracks costs or something like that and how they would react to it.

u2roolz Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Interesting behind the scenes call sheet for Colbert Report which pretty much doubles as a setlist for Radiohead.http://www.zimbio.com/Thom+Yorke/articles/31TU_iy5N3Q/Radiohead+Live+Colbert+Report+Setlist Quote Link to post Share on other sites

theashtraysays Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Before seeing the performances last night, I was thinking about skipping any tour behind this album. Now I'm convinced they will be exciting live. Don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoy TKOL, but I was worried about its translation into a live setting.I watched the clips on billboard last night, and I was less impressed with the live versions of Little by Little and Morning Mr Magpie. I thought Thom's guitar parts were kinda sloppy and ragged (and not in a good way), and that the whole thing was a little too garage-band for Radiohead. I also like the album, but the live interpretations from this show weren't very promising. I've seen them live, and they do fabulous things with tracks that I never expected to translate well live from Kia A / Amnesiac / In Rainbows. But the stuff this time was disappointing. Codex was good, though. That said, I'll see them live again in a heartbeat when they start the "real" tour... hopefully soon. They can leave that other drummer behind though.

theashtraysays Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 fair question.... I just really don't get the dual drummer thing. I can't hear anything added to the music. Seems like a gimmick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shakespeare In The Alley Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Haven't watched it yet, but Give Up The Ghost was what I'd hoped all of TKOL would be. Nice song. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
