Here are 6 Essential Radiohead performances that date all the way back to 1992.

Prague 08/23/09  Download  what can you say about this show that has not been said already? this show is an instant classic as fans put together a multi camera dvd that the band liked so much they authorized it!

Glastonbury 06/28/97  Download  History in the making. although the band played glasto previously, this is the show that would forever fuse the band with the festival.

Hammerstein Ballroom NYC 12/19/97 Download  a gig that was televised. captures the band on the “fitter happier”tour. real gems in this show are “subterranean homesick alien” “let down” and the non-televised “electioneering” which thom dedicates to the girl who has been screaming through the entire show giving him a “screaming headache” also a wonderful version of “nice dream”.

The Metro Chicago 04/04/96  Download  a very early version of “electioneering” one of the vary scarce soundboard recordings from 96.

Hummingbird Center Toronto 06/08/06  Download Part 1 , Part 2  the North American 2006 tour, introducing some In Rainbows material. here we have a nice matrix recording of the full band version of Videotape. The best version I’ve heard.
