Radiohead the bends live at the astoria


Live at the Astoria is a live concert video from English alternative rock group Radiohead's concert at the London Astoria venue on 27 May 1994, released on 13 March 1995 to VHS, and later to DVD in 2005.

Contents

The concert is notable for its collection of songs being heard then for the first time. These songs would not appear until the release of The Bends, ten months later. It is Radiohead's only concert home video to date, not including the From the Basement DVD which is a live performance recorded in a studio rather than in front of an audience.

It is also notable for the performance of "My Iron Lung", which, apart from the vocals which were re-recorded, is the same take featured on the studio version of the song.
