star
Belly were Tanya Donelly's band after Throwing Muses and the Breeders, and “Untogether” is a song from Star, the album that made them briefly enormous.
Radiohead opened for Belly in America in the autumn of 1993, in the months when “Creep” was breaking there. They had supported Belly in London too, and a live “Ripcord” recorded there, at the Town and Country Club, ended up as a B-side.

the encore
The duet became part of Belly's encore. At the end of their set Thom Yorke came back out and sang “Untogether” with Donelly, acoustically. Recordings have it at the Metropol in Pittsburgh on 11 October, where it ended with a kiss, at the Varsity Theatre at Marquette University in Milwaukee on the 14th and at the Riviera Theatre in Chicago on the 15th. In Chicago his voice was already spent from an in-store set shortly before the show, and he sang it anyway.
