Thom Yorke Band – Live at Echoplex, LA – live report
Posted on October 3rd, 2009.
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 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.
