Radiohead ‎– I Might Be Wrong - Live Recordings

Sounds a little flat. A significant amount if surface noise. These 2016 xl reissues are not impressive.

Da ich selber am 10.11.2003 in den Genuss einer Liveshow von Radiohead in der Oberhausener Köpi-Arena kam, müsste ich diese CD sehr zu schätzen wissen. Allerdings, da damals die karge Bühnenshow, dafür aber perfekte Ausleuchtung der Bühne mit dazu führte, das dieses Konzert unter den Top 25 meiner Highlights landete, vermisst man diesen "Augenschmaus" natürlich. Ebenso umfasst die Tracklist nur die beiden Alben "Kid A" und "Amnesiac". Insgesamt gesehen, wie dies bei Liveaufnahmen meistens der Fall ist, sind die einzelnen Songs gitarrenlastiger und der Gesang von Thom Yorke erscheint auch kraftvoller und deutlicher. Der Song "Idioteque", mit heftigen Discoklängen unterlegt, wäre so bei einem Underworld-Gig gar nicht weiter aufgefallen. Viel gesprochen wird leider auch nicht, nur ein zartes "Thank you" und zum Abschluss ein "Good night". Apropos Schluss: Der letzte, nur mit Akustikgitarre vorgetragene Song "True love waits", bisher immer nur live gespielt, wurde hier erstmals auf CD verewigt. Und als Anekdote: Im Booklet wird Berlin als Aufnahmeort erwähnt, laut Wikipedia sind sich die Fans, die bestimmt eine Vielzahl an Bootlegs zu Hause haben, aber sicher, das dies nicht der Fall ist. Ich glaub das einfach mal. Insgesamt gesehen eine gute Liveplatte, ich für meinen Teil wünsche mir aber noch eine, die auch die Titel der früheren Platten von Radiohead mit abdeckt.

How come I got a glossy gatefold sleeve??? Is this a reissue? All codes and matrix runout same though.

Very good pressing, not surface noise, not click or pops, very flat and clear records. Sound is quite good, stereo very defined.
I delayed 19 years for buying this one, but I’m very happy now

No surface noise at all on my copy and no pops or anything to complain about. As hrobb points out - this is a great set of tracks and so worth going after on CD or LP form.

Radiohead you can already long no ordinary pop group more. On OK Computer were by all studio tricks back to hear but still some strong songs on Kid A and Amnesiac soundscapes and experiments got the upper hand. I Might Be Wrong is a good chance to hear what that ' difficult ' material remains in a live setting. On first hearing the Group sounds good basic; a tight and surprisingly good playing band that a lot less spherical sounds than on the plate. That can be a plus. However, what stands out is the limited range of emotions in the music of Radiohead and especially in the vocals by Thom Yorke. Halfway you long to a tongue-in-cheek note. Not to the public served there and pops up with the cagey performance of Everything In Its Right Place.

Try comparing the album artwork to 'Airbag / How Am I Driving?'.

Why the h*ll is this cd only 40 minutes long?! A cd normally have the capacity to have 80 minutes music, so why did Radiohead only use the half? It is for sure a mystery...

Oh well, enough with the criticism. Even if I'm missing at least 15 minutes music, I can't say anything else than the fact that this is one of the best live-albums I've ever heard! All the tracks, except for "True love waits", are written during their experimental era. And all of these tracks sounds sooooo much better live!

Track #1, "The National Anthem", is the perfect opener. The ultra-cool bass, Thom Yorkes staccato-voice and all these beautiful sweeping melodies puts into the right mood! It's like Pink Floyd of 21th century!
Next track, "I might be wrong", is kind of the same style as track #1. You just feel really cool while listening to this track.
"Morning bell" is the version from "Kid A" which is a smooth chilling-song. At least the first three minutes. The last minute, though, is nothing but WILD!
Next up is the biggest surprise on the album. "Like spinning plates" was on "Amnesiac" one of the most experimental tracks, sounding like the whole song was backwards. But on this album, it is a pure Radiohead-ballad. A piano, Thom's lovely voice. Nothing more...Awesome!
The tempo rises a lot with the next track: "Idioteque". A mix of breakbeat-like beats, really hunting vocals from Thom and an ambient-sounding melody makes this song really unique. A big plus to the wild audience who lift up the song a few levels...
"Everything's in it's right place" is three and a half minute longer here than on "Kid A". Those minutes are filled with some really weird, psychedelic sounds that makes the comparisson to Pink Floyd even better! Mmmmm...
Track #7, "Dollars and cents", is also one of those feeling-so-so-so-cool-tunes, just a little bit slower that #1 and #2. Still great, even though I'd love to hear some more experimenting on this track.
And finally, the highlight: "True love waits". Written during their "OK Computer"-era this is the first time it's on an official release. Like "Like spinning plates" this is a classic Radiohead-ballad. And I must say that this might be the best of all! 'Touching' is the right word for sure!

Great finish on a great album! But your next live-album should be at least one hour long, Radiohead! =)

brilliant. i'll be perfectly honest...the melody of "Like Spinning Plates" combined with Yorke's voice is so beautiful, it sent a chill down my spine so cold i cried my heart out. thanks a lot thom.
