Although Bonnaroo 2012 officially began on Thursday, that was just a warm-up to last night, when headliners Foster the People, the Avett Brothers, Feist, and Radiohead, among dozens of others, all took the stage. A bunch of performances have made their way online already, courtesy of Bonnaroo’s official YouTube channel, but I want to highlight Radiohead’s because: HOLY SH*T. To paraphrase Marge Simpson, Radiohead turned into a trip-hop band so gradually, I didn’t even notice, but unlike the cold King of Limbs: The Album, which stutters and fizzles, King of Limbs: The Live Songs sound alive and engaging, like Radiohead actually enjoying writing them.
Plus, they played “Paranoid Android,” so all is right in the world.
UPDATE: I hadn’t watched the whole concert yet when I posted this, but right before playing “Supercollider,” Thom Yorke says, “This song is for Jack White. We saw him yesterday. A big thank-you to him, but we can’t tell you why. You’ll find out.” HMMMMMMMM.

What? 2 hours?
Thank you for this!!
This is awesome. And a Radiohead/Jack White collabo would make me pee my pants.
“The cold King of Limbs: The Album, which stutters and fizzles!?!?!?!”
Holy shit!! WTF are you talking about? King of Limbs is the best Album that Radiohead has done in years!! The reason their shows are so great right now is because they are playing all of King of Limbs. In Rainbows was unbelievably dull, which is why that tour was a snooze-fest, but right now they seriously kicking ass. I saw them last week in Cincinnati and it was stunning.
