Thom Yorke is gearing up for some solo shows ahead of his Coachella performance, and he played an intimate benefit concert in England last night (Feb. 25). The show was staged as a fundraiser for the Green Party, and the nineteen song set from the Radiohead singer included three new tracks.
These video clips offer a taste of what to expect from the songs, which include a scathing attack on the British tabloid The Daily Mail. "I should say something as to why I'm here tonight,” Yorke said from the stage. “I am sick of politicians not talking about green issues. What fucking blows my mind is that half the country is supporting environmental issues yet we are not represented in Parliament and the chance for that to change has got to happen."
Full set list for Thom Yorke’s Cambridge show:
The Clock
The Eraser

The Daily Mail

Got a favorite from these three?
Some pretty high quality video turned up here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDl-oAiLL5U). "Give Up the Ghost" sounds like a lost Neil Young song.
