RADIOHEAD Stream New Live Album ‘HAIL TO THE THIEF LIVE RECORDINGS 2003-2009’ Now – Vinyl In October
19 August 2025
It’s been 9 years since RADIOHEAD released their last LP A Moon Shaped Pool.
Afterward all members, mostly frontman Thom Yorke, did solo work or got involved
in collaborative projects.
But they’re back now, well, sort of. They just shared a live album, named HAIL TO THE THIEF LIVE RECORDINGS 2003-2009. The album compiles live versions of 12 of the songs from the 2003 record taken from performances in London, Amsterdam, Buenos Aires and Dublin. Have a listen below, great quality.
‘There There’ live in Buenos Aires
Thom Yorke: “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 album will also be available on vinyl
as a one-off pressing, out October 31.
