RADIOHEAD REVOLUCIONA EL BBK - BILBAO ESPAÑA
El tener un 'ojo pipa' y el extraño mundo interior que se adivina de sus canciones muestran a un hombre tímido que ha sabido superar sus dificultades para relacionarse con un mundo extraño y deshumanizado mediante la música y la conciencia social.
Su grupo, Radiohead, ha actuado este viernes en las praderas del monte Kobeta de Bilbao ante una gigantesca masa de 'fans', capaces de seguir a este grupo que está por encima del bien y del mal hasta una montaña mal comunicada (el ascenso en atestados autobuses o en empinadas caminatas ha adquirido dimensiones épicas), con tal de verles en la que ha sido su única actuación en España. Incluso la perspectiva de lluvia, que finalmente ha caído en forma de chirimiro desde el final del concierto, no ha sido obstáculo para que cerca de 40.000 personas hayan jaleado un recorrido por las canciones del último disco del grupo, 'The king of limbs', y de su producción más reciente, alternando con algunos de sus grandes éxitos, aunque tampoco sin demasiadas concesiones al 'Greatest Hits'.
Comenzando con 'Bloom', primer corte de este último trabajo, Radiohead ha dado un concierto saturado de público, pero también de música. Con una sobria puesta en escena de luces y pantallas que mostraban detalles de de los músicos (Ed O' Brien y su bombín, Colin Greenwood al bajo, las manos su hermano Johnny a los teclados, las baquetas de Phil Selway, Thom Yorke meneando un moño que le coronaba la coronilla), el grupo se ha puesto combativo por momentos y bailón en otros, para mayor gloria danzarina de un Thom Yorke crecido en estas lides desde el videoclip de 'Lotusflower'

"Sabemos que en España estais pasando problemas, con recortes y más recortes, sin dinero. Creo que deberíais tomar las calles, porque alguien os ha robado". Thom Yorke in Bilbao
"We know that you are having problems in Spain, with more and more financial cutbacks leaving you without any money. I think you should take to the streets, because someone has robbed you."

Bilbao - Spirited and dancing, Thom Yorke's band played through their most famous songs and tracks from their newest album in Bilbao.
"We know that you are having problems in Spain, with more and more financial cutbacks leaving you without any money. I think you should take to the streets, because someone has robbed you." Thom Yorke talks a little.
He has a 'lazy eye' and a strange inner world that materializes through his songs, revealing a timid man that has been known to rise above a number of difficulties in order to relate to a strange and dehumanized world by means of music and social conscience.
His band, Radiohead, performed this past Friday on the grasslands of Kobeta Mountain in Bilbao before a gigantic sea of fans, who are capable of following a group that is beyond the good and the bad of a mountain that is difficult to climb (The ascent of packed buses and steep hikes had grown to epic proportions). This is all so they could see the band and what their unique show in Spain would be like. Even the chance of rain, which had finally fallen in the form of a drizzle by the end of the concert, was not an problem for approximately 40,000 people that cheered on a show dedicated to songs from the band's latest album, The King of Limbs, and their most recent works. The set list also featured some of their more popular songs, though none of the songs played that night were too awarding of the term "Greatest Hits".
Opening with "Bloom", the first track off their newest album, Radiohead gave a concert to the public that was saturated not only in color, but also in music. With a modest arrangement of lights and panels that highlighted the musicians on stage (Ed O'Brien in his bowler hat, Colin Greenwood below him, the hands of his brother Jonny at the keyboards, Phil Selway's drumsticks, and Thom Yorke wagging a ponytail that sat on top of his head), the band appeared to be spirited at moments and dancing in others. Even the great dancing glory of Thom Yorke grew during these numbers since the music video for "Lotus Flower".
