Radiohead
Coachella Festival
Indio
May 1, 2004
Despite a throat problem that forced frontman Thom Yorke and his Radiohead bandmates to cancel a show earlier in the week in Australia, the band was in fine form during its 20-song Saturday set. Six songs from its latest album, Hail to the Thief, were sandwiched in between such favorites as "Creep," "Paranoid Android," "My Iron Lung" and the rarity "Planet Telex." Coachella is expected to be Radiohead's only North American gig of 2004.
