Following the British rock band Radiohead on their exhaustive world tour (after the success of their 1997 album "OK COMPUTER"), the film is a collage of video clips, sound bites, and dialogue going behind the scenes with the band as they travel the world. It show us the eventual burn-out of the group as their world tour progresses.
The world tour that is the subject of Meeting People Is Easy has subsequently been admitted as a low point for the band, specifically Thom Yorke, who had a near-breakdown. This would form the background of Radiohead's recording sessions beginning in 1999 for their next albums Kid A and Amnesiac, inspiring a different songwriting and recording style and the band's changed sound after OK Computer.
Thom Yorke, lead singer of Radiohead claims that Meeting People Is Easy is a 94-minute message to any younger bands who might envy Radiohead's high-flying lifestyle. And that message is: "Don't even think about it."

Watching these vids takes me back ah the 90's no twitter no facebook no youtube, no Bush but alot of shit funny how radiohead are still around and many of their less diverse competitors have faded away into obscurity

Palo Alto works so well playing over those Japanese tv messages. The dog marching across the screen with the "SAFE" sign is so hilarious. And I thought censorship was bad in the west.

'Palo Alto' is one of my favorite songs. Ok Computer and Ok Computer B Side is sensationally mind-blowing!

Just watching that NME video they did, god, I can barely fathom the stress they endured during the world tour.
Not only do I see OK Computer in a new light, but I also appreciate Kid A a lot more as a response to Thom's near breakdown stage.
