What other songs will Radiohead play on this tour?
Radiohead kicked of their 2012 U.S. tour last night in Miami at the American Airlines Arena. The setlist consisted mostly of tracks from The King Of Limbs and In Rainbows, two new songs, a couple of classics, and for the first time ever they played “Meeting In The Aisle” live.
In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Thom Yorke revealed Radiohead have more than 75 songs they’ve “worked up”, that include new songs, and B-sides for this tour. Radiohead will play again tomorrow evening in Tampa at the Tampa Bay Times Forum.
What songs are you hoping to see played live on this tour? Let me know in the comments.
(thanks Jordasm)

Why has nobody mentioned Let Down. They have to play it, they just have to, the fact they played Subterranean Homesick Alien, and Meeting in the Aisle since TKOL has been released gives me hope. My favourite Radiohead song of all time.
and if they could work out a new harmonizing outro given Ed’s new confidence singing (Identikit) to match the majesty of the album version, that wouldn’t be a Let Down at all.
The number 1 fantasy for me is Life In a Glasshouse.
After that:
Cuttooth
These Are My Twisted Words
The Trickster
Backdrifts
Identikit
Bullet Proof (I Wish I Was)
Last Flowers to the Hospital
Packt Like Sardines
Morning Bell/Amnesiac
Treefingers
The Butcher

And a full band cover of Portishead’s ‘The Rip’.
I’m just fantasizing. I love all RH tunes and I’ll be happy with whatever they play at my show.
I’m glad they are concentrating on the king of limbs and in rainbows. If there was more variety it would sound cluttered, this way the whole performance is one experiance. But i would like to see them play Videotape and more new stuff! :D
Where I End and You Begin
Paranoid Android
Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box
Videotape
Living in a Glass House
to name but a few (that they hadn’t played at Miami)
Kinetic, Pyramid Song, Where I End and You Begin and 2+2=5 are the big ones for me.
Big Boots
Worrywort
Fog
The Present Tense
The Butcher
Also,thankyou for the mention :)
Present Tense… I Froze Up… Like Spinning Plates… Scatterbrain…
Oh, and These Are My Twisted Words.
I think I’m fine with them not playing a lot of The Bends-era songs. Not only because they maybe don’t fit in with the rest of the songs but because they had a more young energy at that time and they wouldn’t play those songs as well as the new ones. I guess I’d rather listen to new songs geing well executed than older songs with the band having trouble. But we’ll see how the tour goes… I’m excited for new songs!
I agree 100%.
I don’t think they are getting too old to play their older stuff. But i am glad they arn’t. Their sound has matured and their more dated stuff wouldnt mix well.
Songs I hope they play?
- The Butcher
- Come to your Senses
- Burn the Witch
- Big Boots
- Follow Me Around
- The Present Tense
- Identitki
- Cut a Hole
- Skirting on the Surface
And anything new
I’m fairly certain “The Present Tense” isn’t a Radiohead song but an Atoms For Peace song, written by Thom. I say this because (1) Radiohead have never performed it live, (2) it wasn’t on “The King of Limbs,” which would’ve been crazy of them to exclude if it were collectively theirs, and (3) Atoms For Peace have performed it live, basically proving it is indeed theirs.
I hope an Atoms For Peace album with “The Present Tense,” though, comes out immediately. That is my favorite unreleased track out there (though I already love “Identikit”), and when Thom first sang it live at the Latitude Festival in 2009, it was just exquisite.
hmm i think it was written by Jonny actually. Listen to the Norwegian Wood soundtrack he did – and you’ll know what I mean.
And I don’t think Atoms For Peace performed that…
No, you’re right. Atoms For Peace didn’t perform it. Allow me to clarify: Thom Yorke performed “The Present Tense” at an Atoms For Peace gig. Here’s the video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjcN34DrOVs
Unfortunately, I don’t think he’s performed it live since. But yeah, considering Thom dedicated the song to Jonny, I’d agree that Jonny wrote the music either by himself or with Thom.
Thom also played Lotus Flower on the Atoms for Peace tour…I don’t see your point. Radiohead soundchecked the song at some point too…not saying that it will end up a Radiohead song because of that but I’ be surprised if it was on the AFP album…
“The Present Tense” will either stay unreleased or be in the stay in the world of Radiohead. If that means Radiohead releases it then that would be awesome! If Thom Yorke releases it as a solo effort, that would be alright too. I feel as though this song wouldn’t work with Atoms for Peace, I can’t see it with synth, double percussion, or a Flea bassline.
Also a theory I have is that “The Present Tense” became “Judge, Jury, and Excecutioner” only because while looking at “The Present Tense” guitar part it has an extremely similar progression to “Judge, Jury, and Excecutioner”. However that’s probably no the case, as the early version of “Staricase” had a similar guitar part to “Reckoner” just a thought.
To conclude this, I simply hope Radiohead will play “The Present Tense”
For those of you that use Facebook I had to create a new page for the site (I will finally be able to update this page/ didn’t have access to the old page..) http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-King-Of-Limbs-Part-2/301031536626412?sk=wall
I’d love to see them playing :
The Butcher; Burn The Witch; Worryworth; How I Made My Millions; Bishop’s Robes; etc.
Josh, are you going to post the setlist for tonight’s show in Tampa?
Yeah, I will but it’s tomorrow night.
The most waited song to me is Big Boots, then Follow Me Around and Palo Alto. I hope they play at least one of them in Mexico.

This tour is superior man , believe me i am not saying this out of excitement , it was my 5th radiohead show and far far far far the best .

I just posted this on Twitter but I am beginning to think Radiohead’s worlds first newspaper album is actually a World Tour wrapped up in a giant newspaper album.
That being said I would love to hear the following tracks live
Polyethylene (Parts 1 and 2)
Big Boots
Follow Me Around
CUTTOOTH AND BLOWOUT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!
Also… Lift and Big Boots!
