Radiohead digs up rare footage of 1995 Toronto show to mark 30 years since The Bends


Radiohead has unearthed rare footage of a 1995 solo performance by its lead singer Thom Yorke in Toronto to mark three decades since the release of its beloved sophomore album The Bends — and yes, it’s giving us all the feels. 

“We found this VHS tape of Thom performing at the Horseshoe Travern, Toronto in 1995,” the band wrote on its Instagram page on Friday.

The five-song acoustic set includes Nice Dream, High and Dry, Street Spirit (Fade Out) and Fake Plastic Trees, from the album, as well as Thinking about You from their debut Pablo Honey.

“Hello, I’m some bloke from some band who thought that you might want to hear me play,” Yorke tells the audience before diving into the set.

“So these are some songs to help your beer go down.”

The performance is just another iconic show in the Horseshoe’s storied history — it’s of course the place with the “checkerboard floors” that The Tragically Hip would later reference in their 1999 classic Bobcaygeon.

You can watch the full set on Radiohead’s Youtube page here.
