I didn't even know it was Radiohead. I ran to the Jukebox to find out the name of the song before it was too late. Been in love with this song ever since.

It was an amazing show and to this day I can bring myself right back to the sounds, the feelings and the vibe of those moments. Music is such a powerful force. It is a sense all it’s own.
