Radiohead members Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood performed live rarities during a special stripped-back show last night (August 21). Check out footage and setlist below. 

The one-off gig was held in Macerata Sferiserio, Italy - in aid of the huge earthquake which hit the Le Marche region of the country a year ago. 

Taking to the stage as a duo, Yorke and Greenwood treat the crowd by airing ‘Faust Arp’ and the unreleased track ‘Follow Me Around’ - both played for the first time in seven years. ‘A Wolf At The Door’ also made the cut after being played last in 2012, while Yorke’s solo effort ‘Cymbal Rush’ was performed for the first time since 2008. 

As expected, the setlist was also sprinkled with a few Radiohead classics. ‘Exit Music (For A Film)’, ‘Everything In Its Right Place’ and ‘No Surprises’ were all given the acoustic treatment, before ‘Karma Police’ closed the show. 

The entire rare performance was captured by a fan on Periscope, which you can check out below.

Daydreaming

Elsewhere, Radiohead drummer Philip Selway has invited Ed Balls to see the band live again after the former Labour MP described their Glastonbury set as 'dirge-like'. Selway told NME he hoped to "change his mind" after Balls gave the performance a battering in an article for The Guardian.
