Spring Break concluded with a Radiohead concert. I started listening to Radiohead in high school very sporadically. They were never a mega-favorite like Dave Matthews Band, who I saw in concert religiously for a few years, but a group that I listened to every once in a while by way of looking cool. I kind of went in and out of favor with them, I suppose. In any event, I didn’t really have any expectations for the concert, though Adam said they put on a great show. So I went and sat in some really awesome seats and was ready to enjoy the performance.
Cut to me being blown away.
Not only did they play the random couple of songs I really know, but I was so crazy impressed with the rest of the setlist. I was dancing like a maniac at some points, not unlike Thom Yorke himself. That dudes loves to jam.
I particularly enjoyed the part when Thom Yorke said to the crowd after entering for the first of two encores, “We just decided that we have to play this song,” and then they broke out into “Myxomatosis.” Shoot, that was awesome. The whole night, really, he interacted with the crowd, which I always find enhances the show. For being a self-proclaimed fair-weather fan, I was totally enamored with their performance.
The above video is from the Kansas City show the other night. Neat.
