Thom Yorke put on some really great shows in LA earlier this month. First, a surprise rehearsal set at the Echoplex on 10/2/09, followed by back-to-back shows at the Orpheum Theatre. Above is a video I took of "The Hollow Earth" at the Echoplex. The show started with an Eraser set with the whole band of Yorke, Flea, Nigel Godrich, Joey Waronker and Mauro Refosco. Then Yorke did a few new songs on his own and then the band came back for a few more. It was a jam-packed, sweaty show. The vibe was super cool. I never would have guessed I'd see Flea play with Thom Yorke. Great band. Zack de la Rocha, Daft Punk and Rick Rubin were in the joint.
