I'm still hoping we finally get a studio recording of "Follow Me Around".

They still don't perform Creep live, or anything off Pablo Honey for that matter.
I saw them at Liberty State Park in NJ 8/17/01. Beta Band and Kid Koala opened for them. It was a fantastic concert. The great thing about these guys is that they sound better live than in the studio. I Might Be Wrong - The Live Recordings album does them no justice. Here is a complete setlist.
01. The National Anthem
02. Lucky
03. Optimistic
04. Karma Police
05. I Might Be Wrong
06. Knives Out
07. Packt Like Sardines In A Crushd Tin Box
08. Exit Music
09. My Iron Lung
10. No Surprises
11. Dollars and Cents
12. Just
13. Pyramid Song
14. Paranoid Android
15. Idioteque
16. Everything In Its Right Place

» Encore
17. Morning Bell
18. Fake Plastic Trees
19. Climbing Up The Walls
20. How to Disappear Completely

» 2nd Encore
21. Talk Show Host
22. You and Whose Army?

» 3rd Encore
23. Like Spinning Plates

» 4th Encore
24. The Bends
I'm doing a bit of Zombie Threading here by resurrecting this one, but I saw this discussion and wanted to add that I've seen Radiohead twice. Once in Montreal at Parc Jean Drapeau during this tour mentioned here that was a General Admission show where my friends and I waited in line for a couple hours before the show to make sure we could get inside the barrier closest to the stage and were about 25 feet from Jonny Greenwood at the right side of the stage. Easily one of the greatest shows I've been to.

Our set list that night:

01. The National Anthem
02. Morning Bell
03. Airbag
04. Karma Police
05. Knives Out
06. Packt Like Sardines in a Crushed Tin Box
07. Exit Music
08. No Surprises
09. Dollars and Cents
10. I Might Be Wrong
11. Climbing Up The Walls
12. Talk Show Host
13. Pyramid Song
14. Paranoid Android
15. Idioteque
16. Everything In Its Right Place
» Encore
17. Optimistic
18. My Iron Lung
19. Lucky
20. How to Disappear Completely
» 2nd Encore
21. You and Whose Army?
22. Just
» 3rd Encore
23. Fake Plastic Trees

The other time was in Massachusetts at the Tweeter Center after the release of Hail To The Thief with Stephen Malkmus and The Jicks as the opening band. Anyone who has ever gone to a show there knows what a chore it is to get in and out of there, so our wait in traffic to get in caused us to miss the opening band which... frankly I wasn't too upset about.

The set list that night will likely surprise you (8/13/03):

2+2=5
Sit down. Stand up.
Paranoid Android
Kid A
Backdrifts
Morning Bell
My Iron Lung
Where I End and You Begin
Sail to the Moon
The Gloaming
Climbing Up the Walls
Creep
Like Spinning Plates
Go to Sleep
Scatterbrain
The National Anthem
There There
1st encore:
Lucky
A Punchup at a Wedding
Airbag
Everything in its Right Place
2nd encore:
No Surprises
Idioteque

We too had the frat boy/sorority girl meat balls that were yelling for Creep and then were going bonkers and satisfied to hear it that night. Meanwhile, my friends and I were floored that they played it and Thom sang it without being disgusted. I highlight My Iron Lung there as well because, well, that's their song for mocking those who just loved the band based on Creep alone.

Re: Radiohead, where to start?

I only like The Bends, OK Computer and Kid A. Don't care for anything after that.

OK Computer is in my top ten albums of all time.
