It’s difficult to overpraise Kid A-era shows because, in all honesty, this was their best tour. They never played with quite as much I-can’t-believe-this-actually-works-live enthusiasm either before (when they were far less adventurous) or afterwards (when they worked out their various sound/effects gimmicks with smooth professionalism). Even the Amnesiac tour, which featured roughly similar setlists, lacked the same level of energy from night to night.
And Warrington is as good an example of this as any show from the 2000-era. Played in front of a loud, wildly enthusiastic audience on the day of Kid A ’s official release (and therefore lacking the haunted desolation of Berlin), it’s easy to see why this is many fans’ pick as best of the tour. Hopped up versions of “The National Anthem” (before they started speeding it up too much, as on the I Might Be Wrong EP), “Morning Bell” and the very new “Idioteque.”
A key rarity in “Permanent Daylight.” And perhaps their finest cover of all time in “Thief,” an interpretation so good that it manages to top Can’s original (which is high praise indeed, given the original recording), and was later repurposed as the clear template for “Go Slowly.” Even “Motion Picture Soundtrack,” a song which rarely worked live, somehow manages to come off sounding ace here.
