The Smile - Bending Hectic - San Francisco, Live, 12-18-22, 1st row, Bill Graham Civic. Thom Yorke: Someone left the fu*kin' door open somewhere... Freezing in here! Jeez! lol
Other Tidbits:
Thom: Ladies and gentlemen, we're a new band... we're going to play a new song...
OK, another new one... Or else we're only going to be here for 45 minutes lol
(Before the 2nd attempt to play People on Balconies): It's because I'm playing in a fu*king draft... Never playing here again! Sorry guys! lol
It was in fact unusually cold and breezy inside the venue, lol. The band however toughed it out, not only on stage, but outside the tour buses, as Thom, Jonny Greenwood and Tom Skinner spent almost 2 hours signing fans' Smile and Radiohead albums, posters and other memorabilia after the show! I got my city-specific tour poster autographed by all three which was nice and it was great listening to all the fun banter they had with the fans.
