Music

The video includes performances of all eight tracks from Radiohead's 2011 album The King of Limbs, plus the songs "The Daily Mail", "Staircase" and "Supercollider".[1] It was recorded in Maida Vale Studios, London, and produced by Radiohead's longtime collaborator Nigel Godrich.[1] Radiohead were joined by Clive Deamer on additional drums and percussion, and a horn section for several songs.[1]

Godrich said the performance was "a very conscious attempt to do something special: to record the album again, once it had been rehearsed and played live, to show it in a different light ... for a record that was very mechanised and completely different".[2]

Release

The King of Limbs: Live from the Basement was broadcast on several TV channels internationally.[1] The performances of "The Daily Mail" and "Staircase" were released as singles in 2011.[3]

AllMusic	[4]

Reviewing The King of Limbs: Live From the Basement for AllMusic, Gregory Heaney wrote that "the session feels like the perfect environment for Radiohead to perform in, allowing them the freedom to relax and experiment with their sound without the pressure of a massive stadium audience to distract them from their music".[4] In a 2015 article for Stereogum, Ryan Leas argued that it was superior to The King of Limbs: "You hear muscle and movement and bodies existing where the now tapped-out ingenuity of Radiohead’s electronic impulses has begun to make their recorded music brittle."[5]
