Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood bring back “Follow Me Around” in Macerata

Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood played a 21-song duo set at the Sferisterio, Macerata's open-air arena, on the evening of Sunday 20 August. In the middle of it they played “Follow Me Around”, a song Radiohead had not yet released on record, in a new arrangement. Radiohead had last played it in full in 2003 and only teased part of it at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles in 2006; Yorke played it alone at Latitude in Southwold in 2009.

“Faust Arp” had not been played since Radiohead's Haiti benefit in Los Angeles in January 2010, and “A Wolf at the Door” since Amsterdam in October 2012.

The concert was a benefit for the people of the Marche hit by the earthquakes. Yorke had announced it from the stage in Florence during Radiohead's Italian dates in June. The idea, Rolling Stone Italia says, grew out of the two men's ties to Italy. Greenwood and his wife were in Italy during the earthquakes of August and October 2016, and saw what they did to the medieval villages and to the church of San Michele Arcangelo.
