I donāt know where she got the idea that Radiohead werenāt huge before 1997. That was the year Ok Computer was released, and thatās about as big as Radiohead got.

So, Thom Yorke was amazing. I chatted to the person next to meā¦ Quite young looking woman, asked her if sheād seen Radiohead before, no first time. Told her Iād seen them in 97. Wow, that was before they got big. my dad went to that tour, thatās where I got this shirt That show was 27 years agoā¦ I was very likely at least double her age. I donāt know whether I should feel old as time itself or that I should assume itās because of Radiohead being a timeless band and all thatā¦ Second one right?

Yeah. Very vocal Palestinian protest by one person at the last encore. Fair enough, but unfortunately I donāt think the crowd got on their side because of that interruption to the show and their yelling and anger towards Thom Yorke. Crowd actually felt quite tense until the protester decided to leave the venue. Just seemrd like an odd choice by the protester. Buy a ticket then wait until the final encore acoustic song to have their have their say in such an aggressive manner and toneā¦

Yeah well, the protester didnāt want to miss out on the show. Thereās no point in protesting during the first song and getting escorted out. Palestine is super important and all - but not worth missing out on the whole gig!
~Iām probably being nasty, but I suspect thereās a kernel of truth in this.~
