Past Coachella headliner Radiohead has announced 'Hail to the Thief: Live Recordings 2003-2009' - a new live compilation album that is available now digitally, and available to pre-order as a one-off LP pressing, released on October 31.
It comprises performances of songs in London, Amsterdam, Buenos Aires, and Dublin between 2003-09;
watch here for a live video performance of “There, There” from Buenos Aires, taken from the album.
Speaking about the new live album, Thom Yorke says:
“In the process of thinking of how to build arrangements for the Shakespeare Hamlet/Hail To The Thief theatre production, I asked to hear some archive live recordings of the songs. I was shocked by the kind of energy behind the way we played. I barely recognised us, and it helped me find a way forward. We decided to get these live recordings mixed and released (it would have been insane to keep them for ourselves). It has all been a very cathartic process. We very much hope you enjoy them.”
The one-off vinyl pressing is also available in a limited-edition red colorway from independent stores and on cyan-colored vinyl, exclusively from Radiohead’s
W.A.S.T.E. store.
Thom Yorke recently co-created the critically acclaimed Hamlet Hail to the Thief, an adaptation of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, set to a deconstructed score of reworked songs from 2003’s Hail to the Thief.
