Radiohead play Glasgow's SECC

Radiohead played the SECC (the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre) in Glasgow on 30 November, a 24-song set that opened with “There There” and took in “Fake Plastic Trees”, “Climbing Up the Walls” and “My Iron Lung”. A second encore of “Kid A”, “Karma Police” and “Everything in Its Right Place” closed the night.

The Glasgow Evening Times reviewed the show next morning under the headline “Radiohead light up the SECC”, putting the crowd at 10,000 and the set at two hours. The paper praised the sound, clear and intense in a hall that fans and bands have long blamed for ruining gigs. Old guitar songs such as “Just” sat comfortably beside the harder electronic songs of the Kid A, Amnesiac and Hail to the Thief years. Thom Yorke was shy at first, and by the second half was dancing about the stage.

Remote-controlled cameras followed each member around the stage and fed a collage of pictures to two long screens either side of it. Yorke's microphone was wired to the screens too, and they drew a purple soundwave in time with his voice.
