Thom Yorke and co. took to the stage at the now-defunct, iconic London venue on May 27, 1994. During their 17-track set, the group played tracks such as ‘Creep’, ‘My Iron Lung’, ‘Fake Plastic Trees’ and ‘Just’.
Radiohead officially released the show through their Live at the Astoria VHS and DVD in 1995 and 2005 respectively, the first of which coincided with the arrival of ‘The Bends’ on that same date (March 13).
The band’s weekly series, launched in a bid to entertain fans during lockdown, has included a ‘Kid A’-era show from Dublin, a bill-topping date at 2016’s Lollapalooza Berlin, a 2009 Buenos Aires gig and the group’s 2012 Coachella headline set.
Meanwhile, a white vinyl repress of Radiohead’s 2016 album ‘A Moon Shaped Pool’ is set for release as part of next month’s inaugural #LoveRecordStores day. The online event is being held in place of the rearranged Record Store Day 2020, which has been postponed twice due to the coronavirus crisis.
