The extra warm-up show at the Echoplex in Los Angeles last night was not as short as Thom Yorke said it would be. The show included two encores, introducing the audience with four new songs.
The show attracted a lot of celebrities including Spike Jonze, Rick Rubin, Dangermouse, Ellen Page, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, members of Daft Punk, Sonic Youth (Kim Gordon), Muse (Matt Bellamy and Dominic Howard) and Rage Against The Machine (Zack De La Rocha). Probably all invited for the after party which was planned as well.
The band with Nigel Godrich, Flea, Joey Waronker and Mauro Refosco basically played Thom Yorke’s album The Eraser in full and in order. A solo encore followed with four completely new songs. It’s not clear how many of those are Thom Yorke or Radiohead songs. Thom played ‘Open The Floodgates’, ‘Lotus Flower’, ‘Skirting On The Surface’ and ‘Judge, Jury, Executioner’. The latter is also the alternate title of Radiohead’s ‘Myxomatosis’ (from Hail To The Thief), but several people have confirmed it’s a completely new song. ‘Skirting On The Surface’ is a song included on the ‘In Rainbows’ recording sessions, but was never played (or released) before. ‘Open The Floodgates’ has been floating around since Radiohead’s 2006 tour. The song was soundchecked (with drums) at Bayside in San Diego on June 27th, 2006 and never heard from again. Until last night.
Thom asked the rest of the band back on stage, played the Radiohead b-side ‘Paperbag Writer’ and closed the show with the two tracks from the new 12″ vinyl; ‘The Hollow Earth’ and ‘Feeling Pulled Apart By Horses’. Copies of the 12″ were sold at the venue for $15 each. Here’s the full setlist… and check videos of ‘Skirting On The Surface’, ‘Paperbag Writer’ ‘Open The Floodgates’, ‘Lotus Flower’, ‘Harrowdown Hill’, ‘The Eraser’ below.
