We were lucky enough to attend the first of two surprise shows Radiohead performed at Roseland Ballroom in New York City this week. The band was in town for an appearance on the Colbert Report and rumor has it, they wanted to make the most of their trip and booked these two last minute shows, making many a Radiohead fan’s dreams come true. Why was it such a big deal? The last time we saw them was at Madison Square Garden (20k capacity arena vs. 3k capacity venue).
The show was nothing short of amazing, with Thom Yorke casually joking on stage, while reminding us how good a musician he is…the rest of the band sounded top notch as well. The band were joined by second drummer, Clive Deamer, who contributed seamlessly to the pulsating rhythms of the new material found on The King of Limbs. The band mostly played their new material, but also included in a few vintage gems in their set such as “Subterranean Homesick Alien”. See below for full set list.
For a full breakdown of the evenings activities head over to the New York Times Online to read Nate Chinen’s review. Also, be sure to check out Frank Mojica’s review of the same evening on Consequence of Sound.
