    Yeah they put on a great show tbf.

    As an aside, I was out having pints in Tuam randomly a few years back, on a stag. Leo Moran came into the pub we were in and sat down for a chat for a while and even sang us a song off the bat, before sitting down for his own pints. He couldn't be sounder.

    Gig is going to be VIP tickets/packages up the wazoo. €1100 for a VIP Meet & Greet Package. Yikes.

    Lauryn Hill might be the only artist that makes Nicki Minaj look diligent with time. That gig is asking to be a shítshow. And she's known for bouncing out of gigs after 30 or 40 minutes.

    Radiohead, now there's a band I would love to see live before I head off into the sunset. Never got to see them live, would love to know from anyone on here who has had the pleasure, what they are like live?

    Missed them here in 07 (Malahide), managed to get a ticket in 2017. Superb!

    I like the Smile but Radiohead is another level.

    Bien faire et laisser dire...

    OK Computer tour in Brixton Academy is possibly the best gig of my life. Seen them half a dozen times or so, most recently in the 3arena about 5 years ago or so, and they've been practically perfect every time. Sorry, might not have been the answer you wanted 🤣

    We all give out about Ticketmaster but the sale for the PDC subscribers for the World darts Championships in Ally Pally through seetickets was some slog. Almost 4 hours in the que, all sessions went on sale the same time. 40,000 tickets gone in the first half hour

    Got a ticket for one of the afternoon sessions pre Christmas. The more popular sessions sold out in mins

    First saw them on KidA tour in Belfast in 2001, 3 days after 9/11

    The RoI was in full shutdown as a mark of respect for the Yanks that day but NI was business as usual

    Very heavy atmosphere at the gig given the events stateside. Lucky was dedicated to the 9/11 victims.

    Next saw them in Olympia Theatre in 2003. Absolutely incredible experience. Seeing Paranoid Android in such an intimate venue was a highlight

    Then saw them pretty much eveytime they played here since (missed Malahide due to wedding grrrrrr)

    And their last gig here in Point Theatre their warm up before their Glasto Headliner in 2017 was probably the best I've seen them. Immense back catalogue, excellent musicians, great sound n lights and Thoms voice

    They really are peerless, hands down the best rock band of thier generation

    (I will die on that hill!)

    I've only seen them twice, but both occasions were ages ago. The RDS in June 1997 with Massive Attack and Teenage Fanclub (OK Computer had been out a month), and in the tent in Punchestown in October 2000 (Kid A was out a week).

    they haven’t played it regularly since the nineties and there hatred of it is well documented

    No the fans don't love it

    It pales significantly compared to anything they've produced since The Bends

    Not true, played it regularly on several tours since then.

    Their 6th most played song in their discography.

    Saw them in Amsterdam in 2017. Someone in the crowd shouted for creep. Thom started playing the first chord and then just said Nah.

    The rainbow coming out in Malahide for the in rainbows tour was fairly magical too

    You didn’t hear all the people shouting for it at Malahide.

    It’s a great tune.

    they played it about 30 times out of 400 concerts in the last 20 plus years going by setlist. By any definition it’s not played with any regularity, you could go to a dozen Radiohead shows and not hear it.

    Think the only time i saw Radiohead was at this in 1996. I remember them back to back with Massive Attack in broad daylight, with RATM on the other stage inbetween. Not a fan, more ambivalent if anything, but they're definitely one band that got better as their career progressed.

    Big on the all mouth and trousers scene

    First caught them in October 1992 as support to the Frank & Walters at the Jericho Tavern in Oxford. Wasn’t impressed. They got better.

    They don’t refuse to play anything. They play what they want and mostly that’s current material. Radiohead fans don’t clamour for Creep as they’ve produced dozens of greater songs since the early nineties. The entirety of Kid A for starters.

    Sixth most played song as it was on every setlist in their first decade when they gigged far more regularly. As soon as they got the opportunity to drop it they did and it’s very rarely performed these days. I’ve seen them about 11/12 times (including twice at Glastonbury) and only heard it once in 1992. I’d be happy to hear it next time but it’s way down the list of their greatest tracks.

    I've seen Radiohead 6 times by my reckoning:

    - 1996 Castlegar Galway

    - 2000 Punchestown

    - 2003 Point

    - 2006 Marlay Park

    - 2008 Malahide

    - 2017 3 Arena

    Probably my favourite ever band and never less than excellent live but if forced to choose would probably lump for the big top in Punchestown as my favourite closely followed by 3 Arena in 2017.

    Looks like I'm going to be that one person. Saw them in Castlegar in 96 and they were great. Setlist was fantastic.

    Then in 97 at the RDS. The weather sucked. The sound sucked. Thom Yorke got annoyed with the crowd for not giving Massive Attack a loud enough cheer but guess what - they sucked too. Overall was pretty poor.

    They've gotten worse with every album since OK Computer so I haven't gone since as the setlists always focus on the later stuff.

    Apart from maybe Iron Maiden, Radiohead are the worst "big" band I've ever seen. Only saw them once. Marley Park. Abysmal.
