THE KINGS OF LIMBS - LIVE FROM THE BASEMENT

A worthy entry in Radiohead's discography. I'm not the only one who has remarked that some of the songs actually sound better in this version than they do on the original version. Furthermore, the band performed 2 songs not found on the album. Which, as others have also noted, are arguably better than anything on the album. So much so, that they have been released as singles now: Staircase and The Daily Mail. For my part, "Staircase" (the version on this DVD) is my favorite Radiohead song in a long time, and watching them play it somehow even enhances the song.

The film was shot very well; Lotus Flower and Codex still sound great, and the band is full of energy and goodwill (so it seems). (The "In Rainbows" Live from the Basement performance from several years a go on the other hand didn't seem as energetic or entertaining to me; maybe that's just me...)
