Radiohead will broadcast their The King of Limbs: Live from the Basement performance via YouTube Thursday (5/21) as part of the band’s weekly webcast series, At Home with Radiohead. This marks the first time that the concert film has been made available on streaming services since its DVD release in 2011.
Heading into its seventh week, At Home with Radiohead takes a turn from the release of archival headlining and festival performances such as Bonnaroo and Coachella. Produced by Nigel Godrich, The film sees Radiohead performing The King of Limbs album in its entirety at London’s Maida Vale Studios. The film also includes takes on “The Daily Mail”, “Staircase”, and “Supercollider” throughout its 54-minute runtime. Additionally, the basement performance sees Radiohead joined by a horn section as well as Clive Dream on drums.
In a statement posted to Twitter on Thursday, frontman Thom Yorke noted, “Turning The King of Limbs into a live performance and filming it was a strange and wild thing, we were not sure if it would work.” He continued, “Thanks to everyone’s dedication and commitment it ended up being, for me, one of my favorite musical experiences.”
