Format:DVD
At last this great show has been put onto dvd. It captures Radiohead just before the release of their second album The Bends, but most of the songs showcased are from their first album Pablo Honey. I think if you are a Radiohead fan you would agree that the first album was an o.k album, but then again you couldn't really compare it to any of their later stuff as they progressed so quickly into making absolutely incredible music.
So this dvd captures the band just before the explosion.
Thom's singing on every song is incredible. The stand out for me is Street Spirit where his lungs soar into unparalled bliss. Every band member is on form here and clearly enjoying themselves in playing at the legendary Astoria in London. The crowd recognises this and gives the atmosphere a wonderful aurora. If you're a fan this is indispensible. If you're just getting into them I highly recommend this dvd as it's a good start off point. You will not be dissapointed!!

Format:VHS Tape
An energetic, powerful set from 1994, which sees the band deliver storming renditions of tracks from Pablo Honey and The Bends, as well as a couple of obscure classics. You is an explosive opener, Creep is toweringly anthemic, Vegetable is emotional. The band delivers phenomenal versions of previously unheard tracks from The Bends, including Bones, The Bends, Just, My Iron Lung and Street Spirit, after which the audience seems as blown away as we are on hearing those tracks today. Lost single Pop Is Dead rears its head for a raucous run-through, and one of the highlights of the set is an incendiary rendition of the classic B-Side Maquiladora, which makes the admittedly brilliant record version look decidedly old-school. Overall, the band delivers a record beating performance, with Jonny Greenwood's consistently startling guitar work and Thom Yorke's beautiful vocals leaving the viewer in awe. A rare gem, and a must for all fans of great live music.

A video of a relatively early concert at the Astoria. They play all the greats, and at such a cheap price it's a bargain. Johnny Greenwood shows off his amazing talent many a time, and the whole band show why they still are the best British band of the moment. If like me you love live music, and love radiohead, this is the perfect video.

a great gig
I've never seen Radiohead live, and this gave me the opportunity to enjoy them as that. It's kind of ironic hearing the people cheer the songs that now I know and love only AFTER... Read more

Great Concert but waste of a DVD's space
I am a massive biased Radiohead fan but over time I have found myself disullusioned with all the comments about not ripping off their fans but then they rip us off again. Read more

Is this even the same band? It looks so out of date it's unbelievable. Radiohead bash through a bland set basically comprised of Pablo Honey material, and some Bends material which... Read more

Mediocre early show from a now amazing live band.
It's a good way to pass an hour, but an epic live show this ain't. This video encapsulates an angry, loud, entirely guitar based performance from a young Radiohead. Read more

Great, if somewhat outdated performance.
After picking up The Bends and OK Computer, I was keen to get my hands on some live Radiohead footage. Read more
