Ah, yes -- that concert <3 It was awesome.
One question: I've always heard the beat of "Bloom" as somewhat faster than the studio recording, but it may just be caused by different rhythm accents...anyone?
I like the energy of that show; it is very stripped-down compared to the 2012 shows, but they are on the edge of something new and working hard to put it across. I don't like the mix, because the guitars are a little out of whack on some tunes (at one point that video reverts to what sounds like audience-sourced audio, so it's also incomplete) but Thom's voice sounds great and it is AWESOME to see the band support fan edits like this by providing soundboard feeds.
Rocking some King of Limbs yesterday through my bees-knees new headphone amp, I clearly heard (possibly for the first time) that percussion loop Clive Deamer starts the live version of "Bloom" off with, in its original form. His playing and choice of sounds adds not just human accents to the rhythm, which drives everything along really nicely, but also those two notes lend a drone-y hum that works so well against the song's melodic shapes. Thom's vocal lines are almost like a melismatic prayer chant.

Um, this is terrific.

Seriously, where the fuck is this third man records 7" at?
There's a FLAC version up on Dime now.
Grammar question. Why 15 Step? And not 15 Steps or 15th Step?
Because 2+2=5.
I have no idea. He does sing "15 steps".
Thom confirmed they recorded a studio version of 'Identikit', and hinted at the same for 'The Present Tense' here, if you can sift through the silliness:

Extremely good interview with Thom Yorke, conducted by Alec Baldwin. Quite lengthy, highly recommended read. It has a lot of good info:

I've been on and off with my Radiohead fixes, as I haven't been listening to Radiohead for quite a while, and it really is about time for me to get back into the loop. It's nice to see that The King of Limbs has been for the most part received very well here with some exceptions. (I still have yet to get the actual CD though.) And well, like anybody else, I was also wondering about whenever the 9th album would come out. It seems to be up in the air as of now, but I'm sure most of you knew that already.

King of Limbs doesn't have enough fantastic songs to make it a great Radiohead album. At 8 tracks only, you're quite limited.
If Suppercollider, Butcher, Daily Mail and Staircase was on the album, I believe it would have slightly been better.
AMOK was in the end better than TKOL (in my personnal opinion, as in, you can think otherwise)
I can only hope a new album will be more exciting.
I dug King of Limbs, but like most Radiohead albums for me, I find that I love a handful of tracks and don't care for a handful. What would everyone's top 10 Radiohead tracks be?
There There

Pyramid Song

Due to the couple I've likes I've seen this video receive, I thought that it would be worth posting here. I also thought it was a well-done Radiohead parody, myself.
