Sounded all right, dont think I could be arsed standing in the rain...

the setlist?
my mate was there, he said it was soaking wet but worth it.

From where I was standing the crowd were terrible and I just couldn't get into the atmosphere until, bizarely, my old music teacher pushed through shouting "go go go!" to the opening notes of paranoid android, his "favourite song ever", and I tagged along at the end in one desperate attempt to get some atmosphere. Maybe I was just unlucky, but most of the gig I was stood behind a 6'6" guy and couldn't see a thing with a drunk guy to my left who didn't know any of the songs yet kept shouting "is this creep?" at the start of all of them. He didn't even recognize No surprises. I mean, come on. And i was constantly being buffeted by pricks pushing through without apologising or even looking sorry, and there was a fight before the band even came on. Crowd were rubbish near me. And it was raining.

Bat for lashes are rubbish. Like a rubbish boring bjork.

we were at the right side for the majority of the time then moved to the centre. i had a great view from the side but the sound was better in the midddle. a great setlist! and thom seemed happier than other times i have seen them. very gooooooood!

now getting ready to go to manchester to do it all over again :D

There was a definite shift in mood when they played Just, lot's of people running forward and a few middle aged ones running back.It would have been better if it was darker though to make full use of the rather awesome light show but still brilliant regardless.

I really wish people would stop smoking at open air gigs or taking group photos of themselves whilst the band are playing though.

one or two twats occasionally near me but moved along pretty quickly, seems to be a localisation thing. i was really glad i went to the glasgow show over the london shows, as i imagine much less wankers in glasgow than in london.

Set was great, i said beforehand that i didn't really care what they played but when they started into Fake Plastic Trees I was delighted, following a brilliant EIIRP too. Radiohead were great and reminded me why they're still one of my favourite bands ever. Even the rain wasn't too bad.

Getting back to Edinburgh however... that was a mission! I wish I'd taken some pictures, but getting on the train was like the youtube clip of people getting pushed on the japanese trains. and the bus station had the biggest ever post gig queue i've ever seen.

I didn't think they were doing that anymore

good!

Sounds great! Ponchos rule!
