This article presents information about the musical performance "Hail to Raidiohead" held at Tweeter Center, Mansfield, Massachusetts on August 13, 2003. Performer Thorn Yorke and Co. deliver all the paranoia their fans could hope for, and much more Opening act artist Stephen Malkmus may have called them "a solid B-plus audience," but the sellout crowd scored 100 on the rapture test after Radiohead took the stage — they screamed all the way through the first number, and nobody sat down for the two-hour show. And why not? Radiohead have taken generations of prog rock, grunge, electronica and tortured torch songs and seared away the fat, leaving no flabby histrionics or tubby instrumental solos.
