Radiohead kicked off their World Tour tonight at the American Airlines Arena, where the band debuted songs both old and new in front of a capacity crowd. Augmented by drummer Clive Deamer, the Brits unveiled two brand new songs – Identikit and Cut a Hole. Meeting In The Aisle, an instrumental first released on the Airbag / How Am I Driving? EP in 1998, saw its live debut this evening.

I don’t know about those NYC shows this past fall but aside from this this looks like the first show in a very long time where they didnt play “Everything In It’s Right Place”
MITA debut? What’s taken them so long?
I really hope they play Paranoid Android in Tampa. I know they are probably sick of it by now, but it’s still one of my favs. This will be my first Radiohead concert.
Thought the set list sucked. I would have liked to hear more from the bends and more of their popular songs too. Still an amazing show! Just none of the songs I wanted to hear we’re played.
They’re said before the tour they’d be featuring the last 2 albums. I think the quote was “this wont be a greatest hits tour like in the past” so it’s to be expected that you won’t hear the more popular songs this tour. That’s why they’re playing mostly indoor places as well
radiohead’s performance was truly epic. anyone that disagrees is simply a hater.
The concert was truly amazing. Radiohead is the greatest rock band ever.
Psyched for this show in Tampa. My second Radiohead show. Saw the In Rainbows tour. Is there a warmup band?
I like the differences in the setlists between Tampa and Miami. It’ll be interesting to see what they play for the rest of the tour. Their opening band is called Other Lives. Very cool band, as well.
