Radiohead absolutely lit the stage on fire. In addition to remarkable lighting and sound, the band traversed all albums, with the exception of Pablo honey (Thankfully). They were as amazing on stage as the studio. Thom was a bit more reserved tonight in terms of audience interaction, but he was spot on in his role as lead. The band was tight and performed their absolute asses off. The second encore was amazing. Although I am partial because this is my favorite band ever, I would absolutely see them when they one to town again. Not a bad seat in PPG at all.

Tinkling Pianos gave way to fluid guitar riffs and thrashing rock to drum and bass drums. Thom Yorke swaned around the stage at one point dancing. The drums melting into electro merging EDM into hypnotic kraut rock. At times a single acoustic guitar and voice occupied the stage. The light show danced from a live collage of the band to trippy shapes and low bit landscapes. We left before the epic three encores.

I am sure big, long tours can be a drain, and it showed at Radiohead's July 31 show in Philly. Musically the band were fine, it was a professional performance in that respect, but the band seemed dull and listless all night and appeared to be just going through the motions. The band never really owned the crowd except during Fake Plastic Trees and Paranoid Android, two stalwart songs of old. It wasn't a bad performance; it just wasn't inspiring. The light show was pretty cool which helped the duller edges. Overall I Gove it a B-. I saw Radiohead in 1995 in Chicago and we were all drained after the show from singing and dancing to every song.
