But was it any good? The short answer is yes, it definitely was, because they remained solid and enjoyable throughout. But there are some interesting matters to be discussed. Because of the diverse back catalogue involved with a band well into its 14th year, particularly when you’re one as popular with such a range of people - fitting the music pretty well - there’s always going to be different wants and needs from a set of fans. When reports came back from London as mix of appreciation and grumble - with both the band and audience at fault - it seemed up to the north of England and Scotland to make up for it. And this is pretty much how it went - mostly.

The biggest point of the night to note is that understandably, being the tour supporting THAT 7th album, there was always going to be a necessary fill of that record in the set. The problem is, is that album is highly overrated and lacks substance. When it happened, there was a lot of buzz about it, and its called “their most accessible” for a pretty good reason. It as an album is instantly enjoyable; I remember listening to it on a 2 to 3 times daily basis when it was first made available for download back in October. But, funnily enough, about when it became a physical release, once the buzz was completed, it became pretty clear pretty quickly that there was no depth to this record. As a result, the 9 out of 10 tracks played from it bogged the set down - most notably ‘Faust Arp’ coming straight after ‘The National Anthem’ - a total highlight of the evening - where just Greenwood and Yorke came on with acoustic guitars and no backing band promised so much - and thus for much of the first hour of the set is a bit of a let down.

It’s clear too, the fans have a notable shift in mood - one of crazed, starved deliria - when the tribal drums of ‘There, There’ and in particular opening chords of ‘Just’ (which ironically was a really messy performance and probably the sloppiest of the night, but the fans literally couldn’t care less due to the song itself) ripped through Glasgow Green on a wet and misty evening. Ultimately, the only songs off that record with any relevance are ‘Nude’, ‘Weird Fishes’ and ‘Jigsaw’.

Once that was out of the way though, the fine line between just “good” and “fantastic” was torn apart when the big guns began to drop. The band came well into their own when they had the crowd in the palm of their hands with ‘Fake Plastic Trees’ and in particular, the wonderful dizzying heights of ‘Karma Police’.

Interesting at about the hour mark Yorke announced to the crowd that “don’t worry, it’s about to get very dark indeed” and as a result, we got wonderful performances of ‘Everything in its Right Place’, Myxomatosis’, ‘Optimistic’, ‘2+2=5’ and in particular, a really inspired version of ‘Spinning Plates’.

Best of all though? Saved til’ last. Like I said, everyone has an opinion on Radiohead - that’s just the size of the band - but, the magic and the euphoria exploded when ‘Idioteque’ happened. As far as I’m concerned, everything I find amazing about Radiohead is culminated in that song, and when it happened, it all made sense. The tension, the comfortabling synths, Yorke’s incredible performance; everything about this song works, and live I couldn’t have hoped for anymore.

So, an amazing atmosphere for a very enjoyable performance. By no means the best gig I’ve ever witnessed, but then I don’t believe Radiohead to be the best band I’ve witnessed. If anything, tonight was for me exactly what I think of this band, some amazing songs, some average songs but a complete respect and enjoyment running throughout, and thus, a great experience.
