LOCAL BOYS DONE GOOD DIDN’T THEY?!

*Original Notes*

"The dust had barely settled on the groundbreaking Kid A, soon to be acclaimed as an all-time masterwork and a paradigm-shifting album, when Radiohead announced the impending release of their fifth album, Amnesiac. They had half a dozen songs left over from the 2000 tour, plus more that they hadn't replicated live (unsurprising, considering the studio complexity that went into the album - the only two Radiohead LP tracks yet to be played live are both from Amnesiac), and a new album was a good a place as any to release them.

With a new album comes a new tour, and this one was different by design to Kid A - rather than the famous circus tent around continental Europe, instead they'd travel across the Atlantic to play in American arenas. And that they did, playing through not just songs from the two latest records, but others that were still yet to see release! True Love Waits became a semi-regular encore song, while Nude, 'Reckoner', and the still-elusive Follow Me Around popped up at a few shows. And, of course, the famous homecoming gig in Oxford ending with a thunderous 'Creep'.

Radiohead performed at 33 shows (and three television appearances) in 2001, with 44 unique songs appearing. Every single show was taped by savvy audience members, enabling an average pundit twenty years later to look them up, listen to them all, select the best performance of each, and assemble them - simple crossfades or volume shifts, although the volume won't be totally consistent and some tracks were impossible to merge in easily - into a compilation intended as a tribute for the strange, wonderful Amnesiac.

Much like last time, thanks to the Radiohub for enabling me to do this project.
Keep everything in its right place,"
