Radiohead should be touring next year as there'll be a new album (with some luck) so that's a good chance. They don't like touring much or making records but still want the money. It's a winning formula.

Hmm, possible but unlikely. Their last tour was London and Manchester, they like to play parks rather than venues.

Well I hope you get to see them when they next play, it should be government subsidised.

I think it depends on where you see them (assuming an individual likes their style of music). I've had the priveledge of seeing them progress from small club band to one that now sells out arenas. Musically they've become extremely tight sounding live (not that they ever didn't have a tight sound, it's just become more pronounced with age), but their early shows were immense! Unquestionably the best live band I have ever seen in my life! They're literally flawless and the complete opposite live to what most would expect given the kind of morose stereotype they've been given over the years.

I don't say this very often because it's a bit of a sickening cliche, but honestly, I liken seeing them live to a kind of religious experience or at least the closest I'll ever come to one.

We don't get Radiohead in the Midlands. It just doesn't happen. Which is why I've always had to travel to see them. Bless the Manics for always playing Wolvo Civic cos it's only 20 minutes from my house

LOL! Oh, I know you adore them, I just thought perhaps she saw them at a festival or something like that, where the whole "live" experience can be lost a little if you're really into music. Or maybe she was just being difficult.

It was at Reading this year, so she got 'Creep', several poppier ones, and a most awesome light show... she lasted an hour. Meant more space for me to watch the band, mind. She is happy to see the Manics though, so I know what box she'd tick here.

I don't really like Radiohead except for a few songs but anyway, I choose No Surface all Feeling. I just love the song so much.
