Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
Given that Radiohead are one of the most zealously bootlegged bands in the world--nearly every public utterance is out there somewhere--the emergence of I Might Be Wrong, the band's first ever official live album, would seem a tardy and superfluous gesture. Conversely, Radiohead have never gone out of their way to actively discourage the black market trading of their live wares. Which makes you wonder just what is the intention of this live album? Could it be for hardcore fans who wish to remain on the right side of the law? Or could it be symbolic; the drawing of a double-ledger line under the sporadically interesting but frustratingly contrary anti-guitar rock intransigence of the Kid A/Amnesiac era and the opening-up of whole new chapter? Or perhaps it's because they just wanted to put out a live album? We must wait and see. And so, in all probability, must they. Nevertheless, I Might Be Wrong--featuring eight songs culled from live shows in Berlin, Oslo, the Roman amphitheatre at Vaison le Romaine (how very Pink Floyd of them) and their triumphant homecoming gig at Oxford's South Park--is pretty much beyond reproach, even if the renditions here--"National Anthem" (Charlie Mingus inspired with a raspy Motorhead bass line) "I Might Be Wrong" (Led Zeppelin meets Blondie's "Rapture") deviate little from the script of the original studio versions. The notable exception is an enchanting recital of "Like Spinning Plates", wherein the backwards electronica of the Amnesiac original is superseded by a romantic, ornate piano accompaniment for a classic Radiohead moment. Long-term devotees will also notice the first ever appearance on record of "True Love Waits" (Yorke with solo acoustic guitar), a song which Radiohead have grappled with for years and which finally finds a handle--and a home--right here. --Kevin Maidment

Get This For "Spinning Plates" Alone,
By mikethemeanmole (watching china town) - See all my reviews
This review is from: I Might Be Wrong: Live Recordings (Audio CD)
the songs are all executed well.my brother enjoys this albums version of "i might be wrong" more than the AMNESIAC's version. but, this version of "SPINNING PLATES" is the real reason to get this. i got this as an afterthought, but i'm really glad i have it.

Amazing, but short,
By omar r. (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: I Might Be Wrong: Live Recordings (Audio CD)
I'd give this 4.5 if I could because the length (or lack of) is made up for with the quality of the performances here. Every song on here is done incredibly. 'I Might Be Wrong' is played with more distortion and a lot faster so that's nice plus. There's a little intro to 'Everything In Its Right Place' which is interesting...it sounds like Thom is saying "Here comes the bride" but I'm not sure. Colin adds a bass riff to 'Everything...' which is just so good it made me wonder why it wasn't on the album version. 'Like Spinning Plates' is awesome, so is 'True Love Waits'. I don't know why everybody says 'Dollars & Cents' is such a disappointment, Phil does an excellent job on the drums of this song. 'The National Anthem' is great, of course, and Thom even tries to make up for the lack of horns by mimicking (or more accurately, panting) the sounds himself. 'Idioteque', in my opinion, has always been better live than on the album. There's so much more energy that isn't reached on the album version. Phil's drumming and the addition of the shaker makes it so much better. Finally, 'Morning Bell' is excellent with the energy of being live. There are no disappointments on this album except it being too short. Highly recommended.

Let Me Be The First To Say...,
By
This review is from: I Might Be Wrong: Live Recordings (Audio CD)
Let me be the first to say that this album is a "must own" for any Radiohead fan. I know some fans of their early music were confused or disappointed by the fussy studio electronica of Kid A and Amnesiac but live versions of these songs take on new dimensions and show how powerful and energetic they can be. If you've seen them live you're aware of how great their shows are. I Might Be Wrong captures their energy pretty well and lets you look at the songs in a new way. The one drawback is the disk is only 40 minutes long, that's 40 minutes too short for me!
