When radiohead is mentioned, people can't help but think of their classic Creep. Many music fans go to the scene to go to those classics.
Lead singer York seems to have been bored singing "Creep" and generally doesn't sing much. In fact, in addition to this one, they really have a lot of good songs, and the live performances are also very exciting.

Since April this year, Radio Commander has been posting a weekly video of past concerts at YouTube. The band members said, "We will continue to send it once a week until the epidemic improves." But no one knows whether the video is finished first? Or is the epidemic over first? ”
The solo tour of Tom York and Ed O'Brien, which was scheduled for 2020, is estimated to be out of action, but it is a pity! Although there are no new performances, it is not bad for us to take the previous classic scenes.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line">《My Iron Lung》</h1>
(May 1994, Astoria performance)
On May 27, 1994, the audience at London's Astoria Concert Hall didn't know they were witnessing rock history! Many people just went to Creep at first, thinking that they would be almost done after listening.
Who knows that everyone on the scene actually had the privilege of seeing the preview of the hit album "The Bends" a year in advance, a total of seven songs. The band was trying something new at the time, and if it was good on the spot, it was recorded directly and then adjusted in the studio.
That year's "My Iron Lung" did not have to do post-production, the sound of live collection was perfect enough, And York re-recorded the vocals and directly entered the album. They released the show at VHS in 1995 and were the only official shows released in those years.

(Dublin tent site, October 2000)
Twenty years later, do you remember how fresh it was to hear Kid A for the first time? Compared with the previous album, this one suddenly changed its style and changed it very successfully, which was not small at the time.
It now seems reasonable for the radio commander to change his style after the release of the album Ok Computer, but the audience at the time may have been stunned.
Imagine the Irish scene of that year, where Johnny Greenwood opens with a radio tinkering with a radio, followed by a constantly looping bass, only red siren lights flickering in the darkness, twisted guitars creaking, matnogs making a continuous weird sound, as if something was approaching, and the atmosphere getting more and more tense. In this atmosphere, York's voice became very unusual, and the whole person was nervous.

In the years since, the National Anthem has almost become the norm for setting the atmosphere. There is nothing wrong with this song, and even the band is sometimes frightened by the sound they make themselves.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line">《House of Cards》</h1>
(Bonaru, June 2006)
Thousands of spectators waved glow sticks to the music at the same time, and some of them seemed to fly around the venue like meteors. After the song ended, York also picked up some glow sticks that flew onto the stage and threw them at the audience. It is a pity that the lens does not capture these images perfectly.
The show was shocking enough to be one of the pinnacles of radio commanders. Even Johnny Greenwood said they all thought the experience was particularly good. At that time, he sang 28 songs, including almost all the classic tracks except "Creep", including 6 unreleased songs.

This is the time that the Radiostar has auditioned a song from the album to be released during the show, and the response to "Nude" and "Bodysnatchers" has been good. The latter song seems to be particularly suited to igniting the atmosphere of the scene, which is very different from the studio version. Needless to say, the most prominent of the day was definitely House of Cards. The audience's frantic call to return to the scene is enough to prove that everyone loves it.

(Saitama Ko, October 2008)
Shortly after the release of the album Kid A (2000), Radio commander did a tour and presented many new elements on the spot.
At that time, most of the audience was still in the stage of only wanting to listen to the more familiar songs such as "Creep", and seemed to be less interested in new songs. Later, when "In Rainbows" was launched and the band began to tour again, the audience was thrilled to hear the song of "Kid A".
In 2008, at a performance in Saitama Prefecture, Japan, York began singing with this ear-catching song "Everything in its Right Place", which was as popular as "Paranoid Android".
<h1 class = "pgc-h-center-line" > "How to Disappear Completely."</h1>
(Buenos Aires, March 2009)
Generally speaking, the end of the performance will be more explosive, and the audience will be crazy together as if shouting: "Encore, encore!" Radiostarter did the opposite, ending with "How to Disappear Completely" in the Buenos Aires performance of In Rainbows.
It was important to know that the song required absolute silence to achieve the effect, and the audience had just finished "Bodysnatchers", and it was not easy for the audience to suddenly be quiet. And when the music starts, the pain and chaos seem to be felt, and everyone listens quietly and enjoys this wonderful moment.
Finally, radio commander returned to sing "Creep"!
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line">《Creep》</h1>
(Summer Sonic Festival, August 2016)
In 2009, Radio commander removed Creep from their live repertoire because York couldn't bear to sing the song anymore. After 7 years, it may be a long time, and he will not be bothered much.
On the Moon Shaped Pool tour, he could sing about 1 out of every 5 shows. At the Scene of the Tokyo Music Festival, the audience went crazy as soon as they heard the familiar prelude and sang along with it. For maybe a second, York seemed to enjoy it.
