Song · In Rainbows era (2007–09)
Come to Your Senses
A rootsy song with a banjo in it, heard at one soundcheck in 2006 and never at a show.
24 jun 2006
the greek theatre
The band soundchecked it at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley on 24 June 2006, the day of the second of their two nights there, with a banjo in it. Radiohead have never played it at a concert. In places it comes closer to country music than anything on the band's records.
It goes by the line Thom Yorke sings in its refrain.
2018
the whole recording
For twelve years about a minute of the soundcheck was all that went round. In 2018 the taper, Hoserama, posted the whole song, just over seven minutes, for the 12th anniversary of the show. It has never been released.
