‘Guardian’ reviews Manchester show

Posted on November 26th, 2003.

At 9 o’clock sharp, the summery calypso tape cuts into noisy electronic clatter, the house lights plunge like a wartime blackout and suddenly we are in their presence. Thom Yorke and drummer Phil Selway are wearing expensive-looking suits; Jonny Greenwood and Ed O’Brien, both without their guitars, are viciously beating a couple of drums.” .
