[HD] Radiohead – Meeting People Is Easy [DVD 1998]

Posted on June 26th, 2010 by admin in meeting | 25 Comments »

I was bought this DVD a couple of years back by my girlfriend, and I loved it. After uploading TMGLMOAT a few days back, I thought this needed to go online.

Here is an extract from Wikipedia about this film
———————–
Meeting People Is Easy takes place during the promotion of Radiohead’s 1997 release OK Computer, containing a collage of video clips, sound bites, and dialogue going behind the scenes with the band on their world tour, showing the eventual burn-out of the group as the world tour progresses. The inaugural show of the OK Computer tour began on 22 May 1997 in Barcelona, Spain. Their final performance, 104 concerts later, was in New York’s Radio City Music Hall.

I downloaded this from eMule at around 1.3gb, then put it through the same SuperResizer I did with the Reading 1994 video (as my DVD is currently in Canada)

You can buy this from waste for £13 at the moment:

Radiohead – Meeting People Is Easy [1/10]

Posted on May 9th, 2010 by admin in meeting | 25 Comments »

Director: Grant Gee

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.”
