I had the chance to catch The Smile this weekend and I can’t believe how great it was.
I love late-Radiohead, and it felt like just that. Elaborate songs by musicians who have perfected their craft. I would see Johnny Greenwood play the part right in front of my eyes and still wouldn’t understand how he is able to get that sound out of his amp.
The Smile, Thom Yorke, or late Radiohead are all the same to me. The less I know the songs the more I appreciate the experience.
Here are some lost photos of Thom Yorke playing at that same venue in 2018.
