Im definitely going to be waiting for a decent bit to get as close as possible for this. Gonna have to wait for the schedule and see what daytime bands I'm willing to sacrifice.
Guys, we fucking got Radiohead again! Lost in the whole lineup discussion is the fact that nothing else really matters. Let me quote some reviews of the 2006 show (which I assure you was divine):
"This performance at Bonnaroo was, like others have alluded to, nearly religious."
"Radiohead played the most amazing concert i have ever seen."
"after this show, I was speechless."
"Single most amazing thing I have ever seen in my life."
"amazing, orgasmic, incredible, beautiful, divine, powerful, emotional, thoughtful, flawless, and inspirational. radiohead applies the highest degree of intellectual capacity embodied by their music."
"hands down the best show I have ever seen."
"Seriously it was like a two and a half hour long orgasm."
"This was my first Radiohead concert, but by far the best live show I have ever seen."
"Hands down, the most incredible 2 1/2 hours of my life."
"Thank you Radiohead for the best night of my life."
"i cant even put into words how amazing the show was."
"I've seen them four times now and this performance is in a league of its own, both for its importance and its energy which can never again be created."

long time radiohead fan here, and this will be my first bonnaroo. after hearing how legendary the '06 show was for years and years, i'm extremely excited to see them here. i was lucky enough to see them at night 2 of their NYC gigs last september and it was undoubtedly the best concert i have ever seen... possibly just because they're my favorite band and i was second row center, but also definitely because they are an amazing band live.
So in the past couple of weeks or so I've gotten myself familiar with what seem to be the more popular albums. I haven't gotten in to the real early stuff yet.
1. OK Computer 2. KoL 3. In Rainbows 4. Kid A 5. The Bends
I have to listen to them a lot more, but that's kind of my first impression.

Do you think they'll do the KoL-centric set or will it be different from their normal touring set for a festival crowd? I guess we'll know after Coachella.

from what i've read, they're planning on playing sets heavy on the new stuff but also songs that mix in well with TKOL, so don't expect them to be playing all the classics this time around.

Right, but sometimes bands take a different approach to their festival shows. Some bands are more inclined to do a "Greatest Hits"-type show because the demographic is different from their normal shows, even if they are supporting an album. Metallica's set was like this, although they also went in the direction of throwing in a lot of rare cuts from across their discography. But then some bands will treat it just like a normal show, and stick to their tour setlist.
Metallica's '08 set was the same type of set that they had played during other shows of that period. I just checked. We did get an extended encore with a few more rare songs, but the bulk of the setlist was the same as most other shows.

Im SO excited for the Coachella show for so many reasons. To see what kind of setlist they're playing, what kind of stage set-up they have, how they use Clive for the non-KoL songs, lights, etc. That's like my most anticipated show of the next few months and Im not even going lol
