Radiohead present Hail to the Thief Live Recordings 2003-2009

Radiohead have announced Hail to the Thief Live Recordings 2003-2009 – a new live album that allowed the band to re-evaluate their relationship with their sixth studio album, Hail To The Thief.

Speaking about the new live album, Thom Yorke says: “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.”

Thom Yorke recently co-created the critically acclaimed Hamlet Hail to the Thief, a frenetic adaptation of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, set to a deconstructed score of reworked songs from 2003’s Hail to the Thief.

Alongside the album's announcement, they have shared a live video performance of "There, There" from Buenos Aires. The album comprises performances of songs in London, Amsterdam, Buenos Aires, and Dublin between 2003 and 2009, and was mixed by Ben Baptie and mastered by Matt Colton.
