The tour was taxing for the band, particularly Yorke, who said: "That tour was a year too long. I was the first person to tire of it, then six months later everyone in the band was saying it. Then six months after that, nobody was talking any more."<ref>{{citation|last=Paphides|first=Peter|title=Into the Light|date=August 2003|magazine=[[Mojo (magazine)|Mojo]]|author-link=Peter Paphides}}</ref> In 2003, Colin Greenwood said the tour was the lowest point in Radiohead's career: "There is nothing worse than having to play in front of 20,000 people when someone—when Thom—absolutely does not want to be there, and you can see that hundred-yard stare in his eyes. You hate having to put your friend through that experience."<ref>{{Cite magazine |last=Klosterman |first=Chuck |author-link=Chuck Klosterman |date=July 2003 |title=No more knives |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=N0HASap-qBoC&dq=no%20more%20knives&pg=PA68 |access-date=23 June 2024 |magazine=[[Spin (magazine)|Spin]] |page=68}}</ref>

The tour included Radiohead's first headline performance at [[Glastonbury Festival]] on 28 June 1997. Despite technical problems that almost caused Yorke to abandon the stage, the performance was acclaimed and cemented Radiohead as a major live act.<ref>{{cite news |last=White |first=Adam |date=23 June 2017 |title=Radiohead's Glastonbury 1997 set was 'like a form of hell', according to guitarist Ed O'Brien |language=en-GB |work=The Telegraph |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/music/news/radioheads-glastonbury-1997-set-like-form-according-guitarist/ |url-status=live |access-date=24 June 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170623230959/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/music/news/radioheads-glastonbury-1997-set-like-form-according-guitarist/ |archive-date=23 June 2017}}</ref> ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' described it as "an absolute triumph", and in 2004 ''[[Q (magazine)|Q]]'' named it the greatest concert of all time.<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Greene |first=Andy |date=18 July 2013 |title=Flashback: Radiohead Live in 1997 |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/flashback-radiohead-perform-paranoid-android-at-glastonbury-in-1997-76628/ |magazine=[[Rolling Stone]] |access-date=26 June 2021}}</ref> In 2023, the ''[[The Guardian|Guardian]]'' named it the greatest Glastonbury headline set, writing that "frustration and tension led to the band playing out of their skins, adding a startling potency to a set that confirmed ''OK Computer'' as the defining sound of rock's [[post-Britpop]] shift".<ref name="Petridis-2023">{{Cite news |last=Petridis |first=Alexis |author-link=Alexis Petridis |date=22 June 2023 |title=Glastonbury headline sets – ranked! |language=en-GB |work=[[The Guardian]] |url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/jun/22/glastonbury-headline-sets-ranked |access-date=22 June 2023 |issn=0261-3077}}</ref>
