From the latest Spin magazine (July 2004) their review of Radiohead’s performance reads as thus:
Word around the campfire is that Radiohead, who flew in from Australia, received a cool million to play this gig. Thom Yorke is sick and can’t give “Lucky” and “2+2=5″ his usual full-throated blast, but the songs almost work in a Johnny Rotten kind of way- it’s as if he’s hocking up a big gob at the Queen’s motorcade. The band dedicate the infrequently played “Creep” to the Pixies. Despite a wry laugh, Yorke sings it like he means it, and the downstroke cha-chunk noise before each chorus rings out in the desert night like the sound of God firing up His lawnmower.
