Radiohead have yet again released a new live video performance, directed by frequent collaborator Paul Thomas Anderson; this time for the A Moon Shaped Pool cut “The Numbers.” Similar to the “Present Tense” video released two weeks prior, the skeletal performance features frontman Thom Yorke and guitarist Jonny Greenwood, accompanied by a Roland CR78 drum machine. The video has the two in a lakeside, outdoor setting as Thom Yorke’s politically-fueled lyrics float atop Jonnny Greenwood’s picked arpeggios. Watch the video, and revisit the “Present Tense” performance video, below.
Radiohead will wrap up their North American tour at weekend 2 of ACL Fest in Austin. You can check out a gallery from their ACL weekend 1 performance in the gallery above. Setlist (and videos) below.
UPDATE (10/6): Radiohead have been busting out a lot of songs they haven’t played in a while on this tour. In between the two ACl weekends, they’ve got two Mexico City shows, and they played the first one last night. As Consequence of Sound points out, they played “The Bends” and “Fake Plastic Trees” for the first time in six years at that show. Watch:
