This was an adaptation of Shakespeare\u2019s <em>Hamlet<\/em>, set to a deconstructed score of reworked songs from the 2003 Radiohead album.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about the project and his time looking back at the LP, Yorke said: \u201cIn the process of thinking of how to build arrangements for the Shakespeare <em>Hamlet\/Hail To The Thief<\/em> theatre production, I asked to hear some archive live recordings of the songs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was shocked by the kind of energy behind the way we played. I barely recognised us, and it helped me find a way forward,\u201d he added. \u201cWe decided to get these live recordings mixed and released (it would have been insane to keep them for ourselves). It has all been a very cathartic process. We very much hope you enjoy them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_3884664\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3884664\" style=\"width: 2000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3884664\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u2018HAIL TO THE THIEF LIVE RECORDINGS 2003 \u2013 2009\u2019 artwork digital.
