Anyone looking forward to this show? Any idea of what they'll play and how they are live?

I'm jealous of people who are going. I've seen them twice: at UNO in 2003 and at the Woodlands in 2008. Both times they were great. They're excellent musicians and they change up the songs from the albums.

Fantastic live show. Saw them at Coachella in 2005 and they owned that huge space. Thom Yorke dances all over like a squirrel on crack, and still hits all the notes. The band is incredible and they even played Creep that night. Yorke must have been in a good mood.

That was 12 years ago, and they hadn't put out the atrocity that was The King of Limbs, so it could be different now, but I'd go without thinking twice.

Never seen them, have rarely / minimally listened to them, but have good seats and am pumped to check them out. Lots of music coming around new orleans this spring

Great live act. Ed and Colin really get into it, Johnny is just a wonder to watch, and Thom is pure controlled chaos. I see they've suck with the two drummer setup so that just adds to the sound. Live Radiohead is something to behold. I saw them at UNO as well for the HTTT tour. Remember Supergrass opening for them and people being genuinely bored. One of their songs there was a super bright spotlight that would hit you in the eyes periodically and you could see the entire crowd recoil. Radiohead opened with Gloaming. I think most people were shocked at this choice, looking around, then the drums and bass kicked in, Thom went flailing around the stage, and everyone lost it. There There was next and I was in heaven.

Great show. I've seen them 3x now. 2003 Lakefront Arena (First time I took Molly), 2008 Woodlands, and 2016 ACL. This was the ACL setlist.

I was at this show. From what I remember, it was awesome. Would definitely go again, but can't swing a Tuesday night.

Always loved OK computer, but never really listened much outside of that. What should I listen to to prepare for the show?

To each his own, but I really enjoy KoL. The songs translate really well live also, which is why I like the From the Basement Session better than the studio album. Not sure why they left 'Daily Mail' off of the studio album, as it would have been the best song on the album.

Should be a good show, haven't seen them since 2003 though.

I need to get familiar with the newer material before then. Thanks for the reminder

Going and hyped; seen them a few times going back to the 90s and then recently on the KoL tour; this show should not be missed if you live in the area.

King of Limbs is better than a moon shaped pool.

Really dread hearing all of the new songs at their shows except burn the witch.

I really liked A Moon Shaped Pool. Wasn't that crazy about KoL, outside of Lotus Flower. But I heard that stuff was pretty good live. They started touring with a second drummer and from what I gather, it helped the material.

There There is such a mediocre noob song

You would mosh for something like There There
