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is an enchanting recital of "Like Spinning Plates", wherein the backwards electronica of the Amnesiac original is superseded by a romantic, ornate piano accompaniment for a classic Radiohead moment.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
Chronique amazon.fr
Voila la meilleure des cartes postales souvenir de la tournee dantesque entreprise apres la parution coup sur coup des excellents KidA et Amnesiac. Compile sur quatre dates essentielles (Vaison-la-Romaine, Oxford, Oslo, Berlin), l'ensemble demontre si besoin est combien Radiohead est un groupe novateur. Si on ne peut bien evidemment, et malheureusement, se faire une idee de la scenographie, non negligeable (lumieres grandioses), le son se montre a la hauteur de cette transe envoutante que Thom Yorke et sa bande installent sur la longueur, au point que jamais la difference des lieux (et donc d'acoustique) ou sont captes les morceaux ne nuit a l'unite de ce live. Ceux qui n'ont pas eu la chance d'assister a une prestation du groupe pourront se faire une idee de ce que c'est grace a la version d'anthologie de "The National Anthem" qui ouvre les hostilites ou au chant virtuose de "Like Spinning Plants". Cerise sur le gateau, "True Love Waits", ballade inedite, complete le tout. Soit encore un indispensable chapitre de la saga Radiohead. --Herve Comte

 Amazing, but short September 4, 2004
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... June 15, 2004
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!
The best Radiohead album? June 8, 2004
There are valid criticisms of this album: the abbreviated length, the fact that anyone with a high-speed internet connection can make up their own collection of live tunes. But the availability of complete live shows doesn't negate what this is: a superb little record that chooses quality over quantity, resulting in flawless music all the way through. That's the rarest of all accomplishments, for a live or studio album.Radiohead open up on stage in ways they never do in the studio. They manage to convey a range of sound comparable to their albums' production effects, but without the calculated distance. The result is that each of the songs here seems a truer version of itself: noisier, more powerful and more genuine. Like Spinning Plates and Everything in Its Right Place, in particular, crackle with new emotion. And all the songs benefit from what's best about live work: they're energized by the fact that they balance constantly on edge of possible failure (though of course these were selected because they succeed). Anyone who has only listened to Radiohead's albums will benefit from hearing how they flourish on stage; and anyone who already knows live Radiohead should cherish these outstanding mixes. In the company of only their fans, Radiohead finally aren't afraid to be a great band.
Get This For "Spinning Plates" Alone May 28, 2004
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.
it's just brilliant. i got this as an afterthought, but i'm really glad i have it.
Radiohead: Best Band Ever May 3, 2004
I cannot even begin to explain the emotions that are able to sweep over me when listening to this cd. I own all the Radiohead cds and this one is fueled with amazing songs that will make you want to buy more of their albums. The songs on the cd are all beautifully arranged. The recording is brilliant. All the instruments can be heard crystal-clear and go perfectly with Thom Yorke's vocals. Along with live versions of studio tracks such as "National Anthem," "Morning Bell," "Spinning Plates," Idioteque," etc., there is also a beautiful, unreleased acoustic track at the end called, "True Love Waits." Honestly, words to describe this cd do not exist. If you have any knowledge of what music truely is, you will not be disappointed.
