Radiohead play Dublin's 3Arena, their first Irish show in nine years

Radiohead closed their night at the 3Arena in Dublin on Tuesday with “How to Disappear Completely”, and the line that names the Liffey, the river running past the building, drew a huge cheer from the room. GoldenPlec has the review. It was their first show in Ireland since two nights at Malahide Castle in June 2008, and the set reached back to every album but Pablo Honey. The arena is the old Point Theatre, where they last played in December 2003.

“Daydreaming” opened in near-darkness until spotlights broke across the room halfway through the song. “I Promise”, the OK Computer-era song about to come out on the OKNOTOK reissue, came in the first encore. It was only its second performance of the tour, after Oslo on 7 June, where it came back for the first time since 1996.

Thom Yorke said little between songs, and at one point told the crowd to talk among themselves. Jonny Greenwood moved between guitar, synth, piano, glockenspiel and drums, and in “The National Anthem” he played a transistor radio under red strobe light.
