Thanks to John Servies for making the acoustic-free zone that is the Englert Theater in Iowa City, IA , the site of our most recent From The Top live taping, a more gratifying space to play. Thanks also to the omniscient mic placement of Berred Oulette and Dan Hallas.
Radiohead has never commercially released Lift, but it's been one of the band's most admired non-album tracks. They've even toured occasionally with two widely differing interpretations of this song, one they played @ Pinkpop in the early 90's, and another, more funereal version they toured briefly in 2003. When I mentioned to Thom Yorke is was playing Lift, and was hewing more towards the earlier version, he said "That's good, 'cause the new one's lame".
It's a great song.
i enjoyed working it up again for this broadcast, and for the next Out of My Hands setlists.
