Glastonbury 2003
Radiohead exorcise Glasto ghosts
Last updated 29 June 2003

Radiohead

Radiohead headlined the Pyramid stage on Saturday night for the second time in their careers - and they managed to exorcise the demons of the past.

When they performed on the same stage in 1997, their set was dogged by technical problems, in what Ed from the band called the worst night of their lives.

But this time things went off without a hitch, and Colin explained to Radio 1 that the crowd made 2003 really special:

"It was good cos we played other concerts in Belgium and Germany, so it felt like a groove from the other shows. But they (the crowd) were amazing when they sang at the end of 'Karma Police'."

"We were much more into playing together and looking at each other rather than in '97 where it all went wrong - technically a disaster for the first three songs."

"So it was a different kind of intensity, because in '97 we were really concentrating cos we couldn't hear anything, and in this concert we were enjoying listening to each other, so there was a bit more flow."
