    Thom Yorke has put together a band to perform his 2006 solo album The Eraser. I must admit its weird seeing Flea jamming alongside him!

    Flea, bassist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, is in it. Along with longtime Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich and Beck band member Joey Waronker.

    Thoroughly ashamed of how many youtube videos i've watched of the performances. never thought the eraser would sound so good live. that album is back on rotation!

    :eek: Thom and Nigel are touring The Eraser and I'm only hearing now?

    Not sure about Flea... Seems to add a bit too much 'funk' to that version of Harrowdown imo. Really hoped to see the rest of Radiohead play a couple of tracks on the '06 tour. Gonna hit up youtube now to see what the interpretations of The Eraser and Skip Divided are like.

    I think Flea works perfectly here. Brings a certain level of funk/danceability combined with aggression/anger.
    Thom Yorke knows what he's doing.
    This is kinda like an updated version of PiL.

    The debut shows were fantastic. Flea really adds something to the Eraser tunes. I wasn't sure if I'd like it at first, but it's grown on me.
