Short story:
On the Creep tour, Radiohead play at King Tut's Wah Wah Hut, Glasgow, Scotland, as support to Kingmaker.
Full article:
Geoff Ellis (manager, King Tut's) : One of the first bands I booked into King Tut's was Kingmaker with Radiohead in support. I hadn't realised that I knew Ed from Radiohead from when he was at Manchester Uni working with the Ents crew there. He also worked in a nightclub and there was one time I was so drunk I fell asleep in the toilet and Ed kindly got me into a taxi and sent me home. He reminded of that when Radiohead played here.
Anyway, that day, Radiohead turned up quite early and I was chatting to them, trying to make them feel welcome, and they said they never got fed at any of the shows they did so I said, 'I'm sure I can sort something out.' At that point we tended to feed the headline act only, because it was mainly local support bands. It was a Sunday so we didn't have a chef on, so I went into the kitchen and rustled up some baked potatoes with some kind of filling, put some soup on, and they were delighted. They thought they'd get a bag of chips if they were lucky. They were very grateful because they're a nice bunch of guys. When they headlined T In The Park in 1996 I was walking back to the dressing room with them and I thanked them for playing the gig. I said, "I really appreciate it." They said, 'Well, we appreciated it when you fed us in King Tut's." Things like that are very important to a band on the road. rn(Source : interview with Johnny Black for Audience magazine, February 2010)
