Radiohead kicked off the European leg of their In Rainbows tour this weekend with a spankin’-new song entitled “Super Collider,” which had previously been sound-checked by the band. Thom Yorke used the encore portion of both Dublin shows to test the new tune with a solo performance. Also performed during sound-checks and posted onto the Radiohead social network waste.central, is Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood attempting Portishead’s “The Rip,” from that group’s recent album, Third. Posted by Colin Greenwood, the video of the duo covering the song was captured backstage at the band’s show last month in St. Louis. Check out the audio and video below!
