What an interesting idea: a collection of tracks recorded from Radiohead's Amnesiac / Kid A tours. Capturing and selling live recordings from this band is like harvesting drunkenness and flogging it down the market; whatever the outcome, the experience will be diluted.
The songs are sublime and the band are on top form; a consistently stunning recorded group of artists who seem to get better when put in front of a few thousand equal eccentrics.
The material is mostly from the last two 'experimental' albums released in 1999 & 2000 and the highlight has to be Thom Yorke's chilling vocals on 'Like Spinning Plates', an acoustic version with piano and strings which supercedes the backwards dance track on Amnesiac.
The album also features a version of 'True Love Waits', a song which has been doing the rounds for a while but has never surfaced on any legitimate Radiohead merchandise. A marvellous song it is too.
If you're very keen on Radiohead then you should already have this. If you think you like them; have a listen and see what you think, you should be pleasantly surprised. If you can't stand the band, then you shouldn't really be out of your shackles.

Advantages: finally 'True Love Waits' gets a proper release.Nice versions of 'Dollars and Cents' and 'Ideoteque' too Disadvantages: Only tracks from 'Kid A' and 'Amnesiac' are played, and Radiohead lean towards self indulgence frequently
Advantages: Poignant vocals, emotive exposition, critically-applauded, intricate experimentalism. Disadvantages: I struggle to think of any - at a push, shortage of new tracks.
