Customer Reviews
good
Radiohead play their songs with few flaws. It sounds great! All music is either Pablo Honey or The Bends.
Great Old Stuff, Needs new tubes as well
Well It's a great recording for what it is. But truthfully, I'd love to see some recent stuff. This has great Bends and Pablo Honey recordings. Ok Computer,Kid A, AMnesiac, Hail To The Thief, and In Rainbows would be great to have in there also.
Anyhow until they finally release a new official concert, I cant for the life of me know why they haven't yet. As they are great in concert visually as well as performers. Maybe now that they are no longer under CapitolRecords They'll release something with their upcoming album next week.I can't wait to see what they do next. Maybe they wanted more control of it.Anyhow great collection of older material.FOr Bends fans it surely doesn't disappoint .For fans of the newer stuff, not going to love it. There's not even Ok Computer stuff from 97.
We need new stuff to come on Radiohead. It's 2011, this stuff is from early to mid 90's.
Great Early Radiohead Concert...
...so don't get upset if you don't hear any songs from OK Computer on. This was recorded in 1995, which explains why there's only songs from Pablo Honey and The Bends. Check out the Prague concert filmed in 2009 by audience members - it is available for download for free for fans. Radiohead has it listed under it "Other Radiohead Sites" tab on radiohead.com.
With that said, this has some great songs! The Bends, Creep (which is so-so), Fake Plastic Trees, and the first live performance of Street Spirit (which, as always, is beautifully haunting). If you're a Radiohead diehard like myself, then it's a Must Have (along with Meeting People is Easy, 7 Television Commericals, etc, etc). If nothing else, it's nice to have for nostalgia - Thom looks like a baby! :)
