@8888111188887777 Yeah, I sure remember that moment! It was me shouting "speak to us thom". Since it really felt like sth was freeking him out. sth he was holding back... I honestly had no clue to what had happened earlier that day. As an American myself I though he was just playin' crazy and that what he was saying was part of the show... Quite an unforgetful, mindblowing way to learn about 9/11! It was Radioheads professionality that saved me later on that night! Thanks for the posts!!!
Wow. Weird watching this. I was in Berlin on 9/11 and was at this gig they are referring to. It was surreal man. Weirdest heavy atmosphere I’ve ever witnesses. Not only was everyone in shock (just 6 or 7 hours after planes hit) but at was thundering and lightening and pouring down rain throughout this evening gig. Even with the crazy situation and mental weather they played brilliantly and it was a distraction. I can't describe the mood at the concert with the weather and everything. Was weird..
Thanks for posting this, i'd never seen it before. It freaks me out to remember that day. By about the time Ed & Phil were giving this interview I was out with some mates, all with the same look as these two, wondering when or if WW3 was going to start. At that moment anything seemed possible.
I'd imagine for intelligent, politically-conscious people like Radiohead that this must have been fucking terrifying. Suddenly alot of Thom's lyrics, concerns & fears didn't seem so abstract after all.
@matooli If we're being honest any politically minded, intelligent people must realise WW3 won't happen in our lifetime.
Unfortunately, due to nuclear weapons every single major political power in the world lives in fear of each other, and in a twisted way these weapons are what are keeping relative peace between the more powerful nations.
Anyone could see 9/11 was a dissident, extremeist group. If an organised government were to declare war on another they sure as hell wouldn't fly a plane into a national monument.
When the last drops of oil finally run out, however, it will be a different story.

That's not true at all, there are countless examples of this in WWII.

they were playing a gig in berlin the moment the planes hit i believe, this must have been after the show. they look a little shocked as expected.
