Comments: A very good show on the band's Japanese tour. This is also the first ever time Big Ideas was played live...an unreleased track that features just Thom on an acoustic at this point. Very nice to see Pearly* and Talk Show Host played...two of my favorite b-sides. Killer Cars is great too, and Lurgee, a blast from the past, sounds like the album version. This is a really nice show with good sound.

Comments: A very long show in front of a nice crowd. I was glad to hear Planet Telex....it's one of my favorite songs. Karma Police is gorgeous, followed by the moody Exit Music. Creep makes a surprise appearance and the last section of the concert is excellent, especially You, which makes an appearance. Nice show!
Live at Pacific Coliseum, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, April 6, 1998
Sound: Very good audience
Time: Approx. 90 Minutes
Set List:
Meeting In the Aisles, Airbag, Karma Police, The Bends, Exit Music (For a Film), Climbing Up the Walls, Just, Subterranean Homesick Alien, Lucky, My Iron Luck, Planet Telex, Bulletproof...I Wish I Was, No Surprises, Lurgee, Bones, Paranoid Android, Street Spirit (Fade Out), Talk Show Host, Fake Plastic Trees, Let Down
Comments: This is a very good show, although the band has to stop and then restart Airbag due to a massive crush at the front of the stage. The set is excellent, with a great version of Karma Police and The Bends after. The quieter songs are truly eerie, even in the live setting, and Lucky, one of my favorites, comes off really great. Lurgee is a nice dive back into the first album and the end songs are wistful...good stuff.
Live at the Rosemont Horizon, Chicago, Illinois, April 10, 1998
Sound: Very good audience
Time: Approx. 100 Minutes
Set List:
Meeting in the Aisles, Airbag, Karma Police, The Bends, Exit Music (For a Film), Climbing Up the Walls, Just, Subterranean Homesick Alien, Lucky, My Iron Lung, Planet Telex, No Surprises, Lurgee, Talk Show Host, Bones, Paranoid Android, Street Spirit (Fade Out), Fake Plastic Trees, Let Down, Pearly*, The Tourist
Comments: This show starts off with a bang. Airbag is good but a pummeling version of The Bends makes it great early on for me. Just is great too and My Iron Lung is creepy as hell and really rocks out. The show gets mellower towards the end with slower songs save the jagged Pearly*. Still, a really good show with nice sound quality.
Live at Amnesty International Benefit, Bercy, Paris, France, December 14, 1998
Sound: Excellent soundboard
Time: Approx. 80 Minutes
Set List:
Lucky, Karma Police, Exit Music (For a Film), Talk Show Host, My Iron Lung, No Surprises, Fake Plastic Trees, Bones, Paranoid Android, Street Spirit (Fade Out)
Comments: This was a benefit show for Amnesty International, and a really, really nice show. Lucky starts the show off on a slow and reflective note before Karma Police shines after it. Very nice to hear Talk Show Host, one of my favorite Radiohead songs. The quieter songs sound great, My Iron Lung crunches hard and Paranoid Android is a wall of sound before Street Spirit closes out the show. Great sound too!
