Watch One of Radiohead’s Best Live Shows: Bonnaroo 2006
Lady Gaga, before her widespread fame, revealed in a 2008 video that Radiohead's Bonnaroo 2006 performance was her favorite concert. She reiterated this preference in a 2018 Vogue interview, a sentiment shared by many fans. The concert video is available for those to experience this lauded performance themselves. The setlist was extensive, featuring a total of 29 songs, including hits like "Paranoid Android" and "Fake Plastic Trees." This particular show is renowned for being one of Radiohead's longest, spanning two hours and twenty minutes. It also showcased early versions of six tracks that would later appear on their 2007 album, "In Rainbows." The band members themselves held the show in high regard. Thom Yorke described it as his favorite gig in years, and Jonny Greenwood considered it his best festival experience in America. The author also shared a personal favorite Radiohead experience from a 2001 Oxford show. During the pandemic, Radiohead made several full-length live concert videos available on YouTube.
