Radiohead Delivered a Thrilling Setlist on Final London Show, Bringing Back a Fan-Favorite Track After Seven Years.
The English rock band closed its four-night stint at the O2 Arena in London last night with a scorching performance that left fans beaming. For those lucky enough to attend, it was an evening they would never forget – especially after being treated to a jaw-dropping rendition of "Like Spinning Plates," a fan favorite that hadn't been performed live since 2001.
The song's origins date back to the early days of Radiohead, when lead vocalist Thom Yorke stumbled upon a reversed vocal melody from an unreleased track called "I Will." The band ran with the idea and developed it into a mesmerizing song that has now made its highly anticipated return. According to Yorke himself, he initially thought the melody in reverse was better than the original – a sentiment shared by fans who were ecstatic to hear the track live.
The performance marked a triumphant finale to Radiohead's reunion tour in London, following successful shows in Bologna and Madrid earlier this month. Drummer Philip Selway had previously stated that reuniting with his bandmates "felt really good" after seven years of separation, and last night's show proved he wasn't wrong.
As the European leg of their reunion comes to a close, fans are left eagerly anticipating what's next for Radiohead. With their recent resurgence in live performances, it's clear that this iconic band is ready to shake off the dust and take on the world once again – one captivating performance at a time.

and I'm still trying to figure out how they managed to bring back "like spinning plates" after 7 years, no explanation or behind-the-scenes info in sight... where was this song all these years? and what's the story with thom yorke saying he liked it better when it was reversed? sources, pls?
i mean we've all been waiting for this moment and it did NOT disappoint the fact that phil selway said reuniting felt "really good" is so true it's clear they're meant to be back together
. The way Thom Yorke performed it live, like he was actually singing the original track in reverse... genius 
. But seriously, have you seen their setlist? So many songs were missing 
. And why do they always have to cut off a song mid-chorus 
? It's like they can't even commit to a full performance 
. Still, it was an epic show and I'm all for them taking on the world again 
. Can we get some more tour dates, though? My wallet is crying 
.
and thom's vocals are still giving me chills 
they can do whatever they want and i'll be here for it 
can't wait to see what's next from these legends

Let's keep the momentum going! 
i'm freaking out!! i've been listening to them since like, forever... their energy is still so infectious! 
. can't wait to see what's next for radiohead... maybe a world tour?
