Blame It On The Dark Star (Let's Talk About Radiohead)

Published: Oct. 5, 2020, 9 a.m.

b'In this week\\u2019s episode we momentarily diverge from our trek through the larger Dick\\u2019s Picks series to chat about one of the best live bands of the last 30 years, who inadvertently took some important cues from The Grateful Dead: Radiohead. Diving into their performance from June 17, 2006 at the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, we explore the ways in which the band structures their gigs, their approach to road-testing certain tunes, and their own brand of experimentation within their live show.\\xa0\\n\\nThe show is highlighted by an expertly-crafted setlist which focuses on their career as a whole while previewing some of their best tracks off their soon-to-be-released (at the time) 7th album, In Rainbows. Opening with \\u201cThere There\\u201d before launching into \\u201c2+2=5\\u201d and \\u201c15 Step\\u201d set the tone for the night. Elsewhere, \\u201cVideotape\\u201d has perhaps its strongest performance ever, while \\u201cDollars and Cents,\\u201d \\u201cThe National Anthem\\u201d and \\u201cHow To Disappear Completely\\u201d showcases the band\\u2019s ability to stretch out ideas in the live setting. Within their extended double encore, the band dips into their Kid A/Amnesiac period for excellent takes on \\u201cPyramid Song,\\u201d \\u201cLike Spinning Plates,\\u201d \\u201cIdioteque\\u201d and the show closing \\u201cEverything In Its Right Place.\\u201d\\n\\n36 from the Vault is production of Osiris Media.
