Radiohead: End of tour and Cave's words about hero
Automatic translation. Read the Russian original
The end of Radiohead's seven-year hiatus came this week with two concerts in Copenhagen celebrating Thomas Yorke, who was missing out due to illness. Despite a reduced program of 20 concerts (less than the planned 65), the band showed an impressive variety of repertoire: 45 songs, including hits from all nine studio albums (except for the debut "Pablo Honey") and several B-sides, including "The Daily Mail" and "Talk Show Host" - in honor of the visit to the concert by Leonardo DiCaprio. It was a palpable repertoire beyond what most bands of this size could have played. Nick Cave has announced that he will not be able to return to Radiohead until the end of next year (and possibly until the spring of 2027) due to his activities with The Bad Seeds. Cave called Radiohead's performance "an outstanding act of everyday courage, a purely human form of heroism," highlighting the importance of live music and the band's ability to create and broadcast its unique vision, finding a connection with the audience. Obviously, Cave was deeply moved by this experience, and it's hard to disagree with his assessment.
