If you didn’t catch headliners Radiohead’s gig at Reading Festival on TV last weekend, you can still check it out on BBC Red Button (and maybe online at iPlayer).
The gig was sensational. Playing a one hour (on TV) greatest hits set, Radiohead showed just why they are revered: a memorable, diverse, anthemic songbook, musical vision and innovation rarely encountered in rockpop, and a charismatic main man in Thom Yorke.
And the Reading staging did justice to the great music pouring from the speakers.
Marvellous stuff – Reading underlined Radiohead’s claim as the most interesting rockpop band since The Stone Roses.
If you can’t catch the BBC recording, consider buying the recent Best Of CD.
