Rolling Stone: I saw lots of shows on the last Radiohead tour, and they felt very special. The band was really loose, and the setlist kept changing every night. Did it feel special to you too?
Ed: I think so. A Moon Shaped Pool was a very hard album to make, as every album is. I think there’s a relief of being able to go out and play. [...] We have a lot of songs to choose from. [...] We didn’t play much from Pablo Honey, but we’ve got eight albums to chose from, along with a lot of B-sides that people know. [...]
Rolling Stone: You even did “Blow Out” that one time. It felt like anything was possible at any moment.
Ed: I hope we do that more. I really like the band Phish. They are such a great band. We’d always been slightly guarded, but on that tour we just let it go. And we played “Blow Out.” If it was fucked up and it didn’t work out, then so be it. It wasn’t going to ruin the set. We’d shrug our shoulders and go, “We did our best.” Maybe we weren’t as precious as we’d normally be. That’s another thing.
