The gig was definitely amazing. Walking in, it felt like a festival cause there was just so many people and all the food stalls on the side and all that. Not forgetting the massive long queues for the toilet.
It was a beautiful day also, as you can see from the photos above…nice hot sun with clear blue skies!
Opening the evening was Bat For Lashes and her backup band, The Blue Dreams. Pretty interesting band i must say. Her vocals kinda remind me of Bjork, in a good way of course. Radiohead must have handpicked the band themselves, so it has to be up-to-standard right?! Musically, they were all playing multi-instruments and has this slight electronica / electro (maybe it was the dressing) vibe to them. Overall, a very good opening band!
Radiohead played mostly songs from the last 2 albums as you can see from the setlist. But they definitely played a couple more old songs (especially from OK Computer) on wednesday night! I was lucky enough to have a preview of the whole gig on tuesday also, as i happened to live round the corner of Victoria park! (Big ups the E3 massive! 
)
My favourite songs of the night include: Nude, There there, Lucky, No Surprises, Everything in its right place, Idioteque, My Iron Lung, Karma Police, Paranoid Android.
I was quite sad that they didn’t play a few songs like: True Love Waits! I was waiting whole night for that song….armed with my camera…ready to take a video…but it never got played!
Maybe it’s meant to be….i’ll probably get to hear that song the next time i catch them live!
For now, i will not be greedy. And just be thankful that i caught them live.
To my friends who’s all going for the Radiohead gigs in Japan….you guys will have fun!!
