Radiohead began their first tour in more than seven years<\/a> last night (Nov. 4) in Madrid with a 25-song show drawing on eight of their nine studio albums (sorry, Pablo Honey<\/em> fans). The performance was also the live debut of second drummer Chris Vatalaro, who has previously collaborated with Radiohead drummer Phil Selway, among many other musicians.<\/p>\n Beyond the first airing of \u201cSit Down. Stand Up.\u201d since 2004, there were no true rarities amid a set featuring six songs each from 2003\u2019s Hail to the Thief<\/em> and 1997\u2019s OK Computer<\/em>. Radiohead will apparently be drawing from a deeper pool of material for the tour and even soundchecked several extra songs earlier this week, including \u201cThe Gloaming\u201d from Hail to the Thief<\/em>.<\/p>\n More from Spin:<\/p>\n Ahead of the tour, which continues through Dec. 12 in Berlin, Radiohead assembled vintage in-concert versions for the digital collection\u00a0Hail to the Thief Live Recordings 2003-2009<\/em>. The project was also just released as a one-off vinyl pressing from the band\u2019s store.<\/p>\n Why such a long break for Radiohead, which hadn\u2019t been onstage since 2018? \u201cI guess the wheels came off a bit, so we had to stop,\u201d frontman Thom Yorke said in a recent interview<\/a> with the Times<\/em>. \u201cThere were a lot of elements. The shows felt great but it was, like, let\u2019s halt now before we walk off this cliff.\u201d<\/p>\n
