Radiohead performed their first hit ‘Creep’ for the first time since 2009 last night in Paris.
‘Creep’ was from the first Radiohead album ‘Pablo Honey’ in 1993. While the song was a hit, the album wasn’t. Radiohead reacted by not playing the song at their shows in a deliberate attempt to focus the audience on other songs from their album.
In 1998 the song was completely dropped from their setlist and did not reappear until 2001. Then in 2008 Prince played ‘Creep at Coachella and suddenly Thom Yorke was okay with it again.
Radiohead performed the song often on their 2009 tour but then dropped it from all of the ‘In Rainbows’ shows.
