Well f**k me… that was one of the closest things to a religious experience, if I was religious! Although as we all know, ‘God loves his Children.’
This morning I have no voice and my joints ache. But I have a very full heart and goosebumps every time I think about last night.
There is something truly grounding about 20,000 people in a stadium so quiet you could hear a ‘squealing Gucci little piggy’, listening to 5 middle aged men play No Surprises, and Fake Plastic Trees (2 of my all time favs) to then absolutely having it to 2+2=5 and Jigsaw Falling into Place (another 2 of my favs!)
Radiohead are the band Brad & I have seen the most - indeed this was our 9th time and each time it is different, but truly memorable - (Brad got down on one knee at V Festival in 2006 to No Surprises!) And last night was no different (NO he didn’t propose again 🤣)
And 30 odd years into their career, they have a whole new generation of fans! I was old enough to be the majority of the crowd’s Mum, but who cares? Their music continues to resonate and speak to people and as long as they continue to make music, I for one will endeavour to continue to see them play it.
And with no new album to promote, this short tour seems like a massive thank you to the fans for all the support over the years.
But really we should be saying THANK YOU. Until next time…. 🤞🏼
