2 The title, first reported from a fan's video on YouTube, is one Radiohead had on their rehearsal blackboard in 2006, for a song they worked on and never released.
Berlin was the fourth night of the tour, after Vienna, Prague and the opening night in Zagreb, where the band first played “Friend Of A Friend”. The encore went on with “Just Eyes and Mouth” and “Feeling Pulled Apart by Horses”, Yorke's solo track from 2009. The main set was A Light for Attracting Attention, out digitally a week before, with the saxophonist Robert Stillman joining the band for the last song, “You Will Never Work in Television Again”.
