Despite alienating visuals,Thom Yorke’s random chat and an eclectic set that includes a hefty slice of experimental fare, the band leave the crowd convinced by saving their best till lastAt least one member of the vast crowd that assembles for Radiohead’s headlining set has reach pre-prepared – he’s carrying a giant orange flag emblazoned with a legend demanding to hear something from deep within the band’s back catalogue: PLAY THE FUCKING BENDS, and it reads.
