Radiohead: Meeting People is Easy

An unromantic look at the touring life of English rock group Radiohead. A film by Grant Gee.

Meeting People Is Easy documents the promotion and tour for Radiohead's third album, OK Computer, which began on 22 May 1997 in Barcelona, Spain. It comprises footage of Radiohead working on music, filming music videos and promotional material, giving interviews and performing. It includes footage of the filming of the "No Surprises" music video and the failed studio session for the song "Man of War", and a performance of "Karma Police" on the Late Show with David Letterman.

The documentary captures the band members' stress during the tour, which the bassist, Colin Greenwood, later said was the lowest point of Radiohead's career. The journalist Alex Ross described the film as "a kind of counterstrike against the music press, recording scores of pointless interviews with dead-tired members of the band". The singer, Thom Yorke, said the goal was to dispel myths about the glamour of being in a rock band.
