Radiohead is such a fantastic live band – it's no exaggeration to call it (again) one of the finest rock acts ever to grace a concert stage – that, after having your mind blown out the back of your head at a few shows, you can become almost desensitized to the singular standard of musicianship it displays on each successive tour.
