These were the words Thom Yorke sung (pitch-perfect might I add) during the 2nd encore in last night's Radiohead concert in Sydney.
And until I witnessed last night's 2-3 hour set, I'd probably have to agree with him. Quite simply put, that was the best concert I have ever seen. Never have I seen a band been able to convert such atmospheric, unique sounds into such an amazing live ensemble.
Every member of Radiohead is ridiculously talented, to the point where they can go off-beat for bars on end before seamlessly returning. Its unbelievable. There were 3 rhythms in almost every song - 2 drummers playing complimentary beats and a drum machine over the top of this.
It just worked so well.
The band has been changing their setlist each night of their AU tour, with yesterday's setlist having far more Kid A than the Sydney show on Monday, which was very TKOL focused. I've done a bit of work this morning putting together the entire setlist from last night - you can find it here .
Once I get my phone internet working I'll get up a few of the videos from last night. You don't want to miss these!
