El Gato con Botas

 

Radiohead, Bonnaroo 2006

 

A soundboard recording of what is generally considered to be one of Radiohead's finest shows. The sound quality is astounding, and the performance is excellent to these ears, although I can't say I've logged too many hours listening to live Radiohead. Excellent stuff, but still doesn't compare to the multi-sensory overload and Thom Yorke/Johnny Greenwood alien insanity of seeing them in person. But this is about as close as we can get until they release a DVD of this performance. 

Radiohead probably don't quite crack my top ten favorite bands of all time, but I will say they are the greatest band I have ever seen live. The psychedelia of Floyd meets the intensity of Zeppelin in a modern context. Some worship at their alter, others could do without, and it will probably be much the same with this recording.
