Radiohead @ Bonnaroo 6/17/06

I'm not quite done with my Bonnaroo coverage, but I promise I won't let it drag beyond tomorrow. Some of you asked how Radiohead were. To be honest, I was sort of distracted. As hinted at in a previous post, I lost my wallet! So I had to spend some time on the phone with my bank. (I wrote my social security number and mother's maiden name on the front though, so hopefully I'll get it back real soon!)

Anyway, the band played the longest set of their current tour. All my photos came out blurry (press caretakers were insistent about no flash), but if you need to see another shot of Thom bathed in blue light I'm sure Flickr can hook you up. Or check out Jonny's artsy pre-show snapshots at Dead Air Space; here's one of Thom trying to remember where he put his bong:

The Setlist
01 "There There"
02 "2+2=5"
03 "15 Step"
04 "Arpeggi"
05 "Exit Music"
06 "Kid A"
07 "Dollars And Cents"
08 "Videotape"
09 "No Surprises"
10 "Paranoid Android"
11 "The Gloaming"
12 "The National Anthem"
13 "Climbing Up The Walls"
14 "Big Ideas"
15 "Street Spirit"
16 "The Bends"
17 "Myxomytosis"
18 "How To Disappear Completely"

Encore 1:
19 "You And Whose Army?"
20 "Pyramid Song"
21 "Like Spinning Plates"
22 "Fake Plastic Trees"
23 "Bodysnatchers"
24 "Lucky"
25 "Idioteque"
26 "Karma Police"

Encore 2:
27 "House Of Cards"
28 "Everything In Its Right Place"

No "Creep." Ed tells New York Magazine: "It hasn't felt right yet. We will do it some night. It's a great song to play. The reaction you get is really extreme."

Also at Dead Air Space, Thom comments on the visit from the first daughters (and their bodyguards) at the second MSG show.

i dont know if we should be

A. honoured
B. amused
C. bemused
D. ask if she had a valid ticket
E. object belatedly on moral grounds
F. ask again if she had a ticket and question whether this really what our gigs are about
G. dont blame the daughter for the father
H. shutup and smile

Stereogum says:

I. All of the above.

Jay, I think Thom was mostly upset at the incident that occurred, not just their presence.
According to DAS:

"we were playing THe Tourist at the end of the show.. and yyes we did wander what the shuffling manhandling fighting was in the distance of the audience.
turns out it was her 6 bodyguards clearing the way for the first daughters exit. and some pour soul objected at being manhandled by the secret service. i think i would have to."

what a fantastic show. they obviously loved bonnaroo - phil and colin were all smiles, thom walking out to the crowd and asking for glowsticks to be thrown at him. seeing them play for 2 1/2 hours is a rare occurence and the setlist was sweet. i've been to every bonnaroo and this past weekend was the best.

Radiohead was an artist creating a masterpiece on stage and we at Bonnaroo witnessed it all!

I was hanging out through Elvis Costello and Beck to get a good Radiohead spot, and it was quite a mindblowing show. Definetley worth only catching a little of Damian Marley (damn did he sound good).

We got our spot at 11:15am and I never moved from that spot until after radiohead finished, not even for the bathroom. The sunburn was worth being that close to Radiohead. We were next the the fences leading back to the sound booth.

great show! I couldn't have asked for a better setting! The setlist was amazing and the whole band seemed in great sprits.
This was my first bonnaroo and i don't see how next year could even come close to following it[ although I'll still probably still attend.]
