Note the guitar cable running down to his pedalboard. The black box near the bottom of his guitar strap is the wireless radio.Įd with his Fender Vibro-King and Vox AC30 in NYC, 2016.07.27 (photo by Jonathan Bayer). Thom with his Fender Telecaster Custom before a performance of Talk Show Host at the 1998 Tibetan Freedom Concert ( youtube). I believe that Colin also used a wireless system at this time, but switched back to cables during the 2000′s. Video of the concert shows that Thom and Ed are using guitar radios, while Jonny is using a very long black cable. Given its daytime setting, the Tibetan Freedom Concert gives us some really clear images of what Radiohead are doing.

Ed seems to have stopped using a wireless system on the 2016 tour, but Thom continues to use one and has one for his wireless keyboard as well. Hello! Thom used guitar radios/wireless systems for a long time, at least since the 90′s. But I see nothing between amp and guitar. You can clearly see the input jack (and a little bit of cable). Looks like he doesn't have an instrument cable.

When Thom plays his guitars he is walking, moving around a lot and he is just so comfortable. This question was submitted by Anonymous Hey, loved your blog! I was just watching 2016 tour and I kinda noticed something.
