Hail to the Thief (Live Recordings 2003-2009) captures Radiohead's live performances of 12 out of 14 songs from their 2003 album, Hail to the Thief. The album features recordings from notable concerts in London, Amsterdam, Buenos Aires, and Dublin. The live performances contrast with the studio recordings, which possess intricate and hermetic qualities. Instead, the live renditions are defined by electric immediacy, allowing listeners to experience the band's energy and intensity in a real-time context, aligning with societal unease from two decades ago.
In the studio, Radiohead's music is crafted with the morbid fastidiousness of Dutch masters painting still lives and buzz with intricate worlds. Onstage, however, they transcend this and bring those worlds to life, replacing austerity with electric immediacy.
Radiohead's second live album, Hail to the Thief (Live Recordings 2003-2009), features stadium versions of 12 of the 14 tracks from 2003's Hail to the Thief, gathered from diverse international performances.
