Keeping up with their ongoing digital series of archive uploads, the latest historic show Radiohead have selected to keep the nostalgia flowing – and their fans happy – is the full-length recording of their 1994 show Live at the Astoria. The stream is set to go live tomorrow evening (Thursday, May 28th) at 10pm on their official YouTube channel. For those eager to get a headstart, they can bookmark the premiere video as seen below, ensuring they are the first to get in on the action and make a trip down Memory Lane.
In an announcement tweet from their official Twitter page, @radiohead, the band gave fans, “One from deep down in the vaults this week, we’re dusting off Live At The Astoria, London from May 1994.” Attached to the preemptive statement is a brief clip showcasing footage from the classic concert.
The legendary 17-track set took frontman Thom Yorke and company across a blistering evening of awe and flare, with featured tracks including ‘My Iron Lung‘, ‘Just‘ and ‘Fake Plastic Trees‘. Recorded at the since closed London Astoria stadium on May 27th, 1994, this impending stream celebrates the event’s 26th anniversary. The performance has been previously released in the days of yore when the internet was still in its infancy and online video was a figment of high fantasy: 1995 saw the original VHS release, while the technological stakes were raised a decade later, in 2005.

Elsewhere, for Radiohead fans keen on a more purely sonic, visually-limited musical experience – those who just want to close their eyes and tune in with a pair of high-quality headphones – a white vinyl repressing of the band’s 2016 album A Moon-Shaped Pool is due to be released on June 20th. Presented in conjunction with Love Record Stores day, the event will be showcasing other classic musical milestones in an online event that has twice been postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
