The tension builds
when around 21:15 the lights dim and "Fitter
Happier" is
played. The band appears and they start off with Airbag,
one of my personal
favourites of the new album.
The concert was
absolutely great and halfway the concert Thom said
to the audience
that it was nice to be back in Holland and he said
something like
this: "I know you dutch people are quiet listeners.
Ok a thousand
people quiet, but thousands?? Let's make some noise!"
And then they
kick of one of their louder songs (Lurgee). A few songs later he says that
they still have to
get used to
playing in front of larger audiences and that they
appreciate us
being there.
It was a bit
of a surprise that they played "The Trickster". Thom
said that he'd
promised to play it before, and that it was for all
the people who
we're following them for a long time"
Before they
play Creep, Thom says: "This is and old song, I hope you
like it, if
you don't just let us know". He pulls up his shoulders
and laughs.
Between songs
Colin jump's around and laughs while he shakes his
hand like it's
tired.
Before the second
encore Thom comes on to stage and says: "Hello,
we're a band
called Radiohead, we're pleased to meet you!" And
laughs, they
end their concert with High and Dry.
Greetings, Joost
