Yes. I am English and have travelled to Canada to see Radiohead. You may wonder why as this is not the first time I‘ve seen Radiohead, it's my eleventh.
For starters, Radiohead are playing arenas across the other side of the water. They are getting bigger and better. The Varsity Arena is twice as big as the venue they played in December, in Toronto. Tonight, they start with My Iron Lung, to get the crowd to rock out, along with Bones and Just. Jonny holds up the band for few seconds while he puts on his battery pack for Anyone Can Play Guitar. They play a new song that sounds nothing like anything they have played before. High and Dry is in the charts out here. so everyone has a sing along with Thom and I get another chance to hear two new songs, where Jonny plays keyboards.
Thom asks anybody from “America” (boo! Canada!) “ya better play this song called Creep”. Lurgee gets an outing a song that I haven’t heard them play live for a while. Tonight they play for about one and a half hours. When they tour the next album, with the new songs they will have to play for two hours. Or start missing out some of the very good old songs. You may think that l went all that way to see Radiohead play. Was it worth it? I say yes. Because for the next album they may do small shows to start with but. if they wanted to, they could go straight out and play arenas. I hope not, but I do want them to become the best in Britain.
