I've just returned from Radiohead's show in Berlin. The band did play
after the airplanes hit the World Trade Center. At first, Thom didn't
mention what was going on, except for: "What can you say after
a day like to day. I guess, there is nothing to say". A couple
of songs later Thom said that he was trying not to say anything and
apologized for being mute. He then realized that the crowd was probably
not aware of what went on in the USA, so Thom & Ed tried to explain
the situation. But, I guess that for the people who didn't know (and
I think that a lot of people didn't have a clue), really couldn't comprehend
those facts.
Before 'You and whose army' Thom said: "I guess this one is for
the Bush administration". The band ended the show with Street Spirit
with the words: "I hope President Bush won't start World War III".

Tuesday 11th September 2001 is unfortunately not only going to be a
day that
I will keep in mind because of a great Radiohead concert. Yet this concert
lightened up a bit the day of shock, sadness and anger. At least that
is the
way I feel about it. I am not sure, whether the majority of people in
the
audience already knew what had happened in the USA therefore it was
good that
Thom shortly explained the situation.
As I have not seen Radiohead live in concert before, I cannot say, whether
they played different to how they usually do. Yet I can say that the
music was
absolutely brilliant. The mixture of songs was well chosen ( although
I had
loved to listen to "exit music") and being played live the
songs had a very
strong intensity which I do not know how to describe any further. Especially
"Idioteque" was outstanding. I have never paid a lot of attention
to that song
before, but during this performance I got caught by it. Probably that
was
also because of having in mind what had happened in the USA and the
uncertainty
of what might follow. When Thom said something like "Let`s hope
George Bush
won`t declare World War III." he spoke out an aspect of this uncertainty.
After I had left the concert I heard that many events had been cancelled
and I was really glad that Radiohead had not done so. That would not
have
helped anyone, I think. And that they went on stage and let us, the
audience,
listen to their music, at least felt like a small comfort on this sad
day.
Thank you for playing.
