I have seen Radiohead perform only once before, in the Astoria London in
1997. The band I saw last night were a different group of musicians
altogether - they were better. Much better.
I wouldn't have believed that were possible had you told me six years ago,
but last night Radiohead proved that they are one of the most formidable,
accomplished and proffessional live acts in the world today. Earl's Court
was stunned by the show they put on.
The opening song, The Gloaming, was a revelation. Following on nicely from
Asian Dub Foundation's atmosphere of protest, the song set the magical tone
for the evening and had the audience captivated from the outset.
The following set was as varied as usual, with quite a few Bends songs
played (Fake Plastic Trees, Just, My Iron Lung and Street Spirit) - much to
the crowd's delight. These, plus OK Computer regulars Paranoid Android,
Lucky and Karma Police, provided the obligatory singalong quotient for the
evening but the real treat were the newer selections.
Kid A, a song I was eager to hear, was utterly fantastic - much meatier and
dancier than the album track, with a transcendent and darkly humourous vocal
from Thom and brilliant band improv at the end. You and Who's Army,
dedicated to last week's 'highjacking of the capitol' by president Bush, was
hammed-up for the cameras. Idioteque and I Might Be Wrong got the crowd
jumping maniacally and The National Anthem had a topical flavour when Jonny
tuned into a radio station talking about the British economy, which seemed
somehow apt.
The highlights, for me, were the tracks from Hail To The Thief - of which
they played all but three; Backdrifts, Punchup and Scatterbrain. Sit Down
Stand Up was intense, We Suck Young Blood fun (handclaps!), Myxomatosis
evil, There there gorgeous, Go To Sleep had possibly the best singalong of
the evening and Where I End and You Begin was quite other-worldly. Sail To
The Moon was astonishingly intimate, with Jonny giving a particularly
impassioned and delicately funky performance.
One of the highlights of the evening for everyone, it seemed, was Thom's
solo performance of I Will, which was absolutely breathtaking. Words cannot
describe what this man can do with his voice in a large space full of
people. I wondered whether the arena setting might feel strange for this
band, but Radiohead's ability to communicate was not remotely diminished -
everyone there felt the magic of the evening.
Overall the band showed how accomplished they are at entertaning people, at
writing and performing music, at putting on a show and at creating a sense
of occasion with the subtlest of means and a most impressive box of tricks.
A man I overheard on the way out said, "I think it's changed my life
forever". I should imagine a lot of people would have agreed with him.
So good I could go and watch it all again tonight.
In fact, I think I just might! ;)
Finaly I think is realy the new Mozart.

The gig was fantastic. Asian Dub Foundation opened up with some incredible
energy and movement, and although the crowd wasn't to capacity at this
point, their energy was impressive. When Radiohead came on, and opened with
The Gloaming the whole night just kicked off, this is a track that needs to
be heard live to appreciate. 2+2=5 was crazy, the whole crowed swayed
amazingly and I was moved about 4 metres without really touching the ground,
everyone was alive with energy, and during tracks such as Paranoid Android
and Just there seemed to be no controlling anyone - with people crowd
surfing where I was (10 to 15 metres from the barriers) and some serious
bouncing going on.
Thom Yorke was dancing like a maniac, and did indeed sing You and Whose Army
to the camera set up on his piano, such that if you were watching the Video
Screens it looked like he was singing to the whole audience personally to
each of us. At one point he began laughing, and then got up and danced for
us as we cheered him on. Dedicated to Tony Blair.
Again "phew, for a minute there, I lost myself" featured strongly, as Thom
sang it solo with the crowd to lead us into the final Everything in its
right place. Jonny and Ed finished off the gig by playing with sound
effects, effect pedals and synthesizers and all walked off with grins and
smiles on their faces making me happy to have been there in possibly the
best gig of a lifetime.

I will not control myself


senza dubbio i Radiohead tra 30 anni saranno considerati come uno dei gruppi
piu` importanti di questo decennio
appunto perche` un barrage pubblicitario di questa portata, e vendite di questo
livello, fanno si` che un gruppo diventi ' importante".
Io dico il contrario : ci sono centinaia di dischi bellissimi che spariranno
dalla circolazione, proprio come negli anni settanta

questo e' un discorso da Stanz, e non era il punto. L'importanza la
stabilisce il tempo. Secondo te fra 30 anni Pink che oggi vende l'iradiddio
sara' ricordata come una parte della storia della musica?

Questo e' un altro aspetto, non quello su cui si discuteva (almeno quello su
cui io discutevo). Quando dico che un disco deve superare l'esame del tempo
intendo dire che fra 10 20 o 30 anni deve godere almeno della popolarita'
che ha oggi. Se un disco e' sconosciuto oggi, difficile sperare che abbia
milioni di estimatori domani, ma questo e' legato al mercato. Se invece un
disco oggi piace a molti ma domani piace a pochi evidentemente non aveva la
profondita' che i molti gli attribuivano.

e invece la teoria stanziana dice il contrario : i vdgg piacevano a tanti e
adesso piacciono a pochi, perche` il mondo e` diventato una pietraia
inospitale.
Vedi che bel casino?
