Couple I know went to the concert at Lane...Metallica didn't play Enter Sandman and at the end said goodnight and walked back. The crowd got restless and ****y, then the band came back out and the drum intro started playing and the place went bonkers lol.

I had a chance to see Metallica live and couldn’t make it..one of my life’s regrets. I’d say my favorite concert I ever went to was Elton John. I was sitting on the couch that night watching television and a friend called and said, “Someone backed out at the last minute do you wanna go to the Elton John concert?”. I said, “Do I? Does a brown bear **** in the woods?” So, one minute I’m sitting at home bored to tears, and two hours later I’m trippin’ balls on mescaline watching Elton John live. Great night.

Radiohead frontman Thom York has said of this track; "That song literally took five minutes to write, but yet it came from all these mad places. [It's] something I never thought I could actually get across in a song and lyrically. [But I] managed it and that was really, really tough. [Physicist] Stephen Hawking talks about the theory that time is another force. It's [a] fourth dimension and [he talks about] the idea that time is completely cyclical, it's always doing this [spins finger]. It's a factor, like gravity. It's something that I found in Buddhism as well. That's what Pyramid Song' is about, the fact that everything is going in circles." According to Colin Greenwood, it was the image of "people being ferried across the river of death" that most affected York. This is reflected in the song's many references to Dante's imaginary journey through ****, Purgatory and Heaven, Divine Comedy. These include the black-eyed angels, a moon full of stars and jumping into the river.
