Radiohead blew everyone else off the stage.

"Radiohead were third on the bill, below The Offspring and Candlebox. Think about that for a minute. They got 40 minutes to play. They were the talk of the festival before even taking the stage due to having just released OK Computer. I hadn't heard the record yet and despite being a huge fan of The Bends had no idea what to expect. They opened with "Fake Plastic Trees" which was simply magical. The sun was going down as they played "Paranoid Android" (the first time I'd ever heard the song) and the entire festival stopped to watch. It was one of the greatest moments of my life. They played through their set and closed with "Just" and I was pleased they did NOT play "Creep". What an amazing performance."
