"So who here doesn't know about it..."
Radiohead
Berlin
9/11/2001

"Everybody knows. What I'm talking about."

And: reflections, same band, same place, 9/11/2016

I didn't see this linked in the Guardian write-up, so here's a copy of Radiohead's 2016 Lollapalooza Berlin show

Alex Ross wrote a profile of the band that was published less than a month before the Berlin concert. It's still one of those articles I think about.

I often think that Radiohead is the Pink Floyd (or Rush) of Gen X.

How far into the concert does that happen?

I have enough slack in my workday to check out a historically interesting moment, but not enough to listen to an entire concert to get to it.

Found it. It's here.

Also in Berlin on the same night: Project Blinkenlights went up. I can't find a link to support my faded memory but apparently a lot of time on that evening was dedicated to displaying a heart to send thoughts and love overseas.

The caption under the video links to each song plus that statement, in between "Pyramid Song" and "Paranoid Android":

I've long thought the eerie "How to Disappear Completely" seems to have been intended to evoke someone caught in the middle of the World Trade Center attacks (although it obviously couldn't have been).

New Radiohead B-side: "Ill Wind" (lyrics), from the newly-released special edition of A Moon Shaped Pool. Eerie and groovy. One Reddit user sees lyrical and musical parallels to the track "Present Tense"
