Radiohead at the Benicassim Festival

Radiohead played a shorter set then on the rest of their tour. Due to festival time limits, new songs have been temporarely avoided not to bore the various audience of the festival, and to be honest the setlist could be copied from a 2000 one. Thom & co. start a little late, because Paul Weller had technical problems, but the purpose is to shoot all the hits in a row. Pyramid song has been split in two, because in the exact middle of the song, when thom finishes to sing a solo, something goes wrong (colin? phil? a technician?) and thom stops suddendly, with a very angry “what the fucking..”,then restarts exactly where he left. Only exceptions have been “the punch..” and the encore “there there”,for a total of less than 1h30′, for a perfect stand alone cd bootleg. [thanks filippo fontanelli]
