Grizzly Bear played very pop-oriented songs as they opened for Radiohead. They opted to skip the introductory phase of On A Neck, On A Spit, and segued into it after Fix It.
The light show setup for this tour includes a stage wide rectangular television and long bead curtain like tubes that strobed lights. The rectangular television would split into five camera angles focusing on each member or the respective members on a minimal song (for example, Thom Yorke receives three camera angles during Exit Music, with the other two left black). The light received roars of ovations.
After Morning Bell ended, Thom performed an acapella of the spiteful raging rambling at the ending of Morning Bell. A Wolf At The Door finally premieres for the first time this tour. The vocal performance from Thom however did not match the half-rap stream-of-consciousness presented in previous tours nor Hail To The Thief. Dollars And Cents ended with an extended coda with Thom listing "BP, Shell, Exxon" repeatedly. Climbing Up The Wall does not translate well outdoors since I didn't feel any of the bass travel through my body. I've been informed that the Gloaming sampled "mother fuckers don't know" line from Justin Timberlake's SexyBack.
Getting out of the parking lot took about two hours. Disappointing.
Light show crew misspelled "Everything In Its Right Place", which annoyed Emily to no end.

We are standing on the edge.
