Video Live From a Tent In Dublin is a show held at Puncheston Racecourse in Dublin, Ireland. The concert took place on October 8, 2000. An evocative opening. Radiohead hasn't held a concert in quite a while.

Finally, they closed the tour for the album "A Moon Shaped Pool" in August 2018. Since then, the members have focused on working on individual projects. Several months ago, vocalist Thom Yorke released his third solo album, "Anima".

Meanwhile, the band's guitarist, Ed O'Brien (EOB) has just released his single, Clock of the Night last night, Thursday, April 9th. In the song, EOB features another British musician, Laura Marling, to provide vocals.

This song is a follow-up work released by EOB after last week he released a single song called Olympik. Two materials sparked enthusiasm from fans who are looking forward to the album "Earth", EOB's solo debut.

Apart from the matter of the debut album, EOB is indeed in the spotlight of fans. Some time ago, he announced the symptoms of a corona virus infection that he was experiencing. At that time, EOB stated that they would immediately carry out self-quarantine.

This series of streaming shows seems to be the answer to fans' questions about "what do Thom, Phil, Ed, Jonny and Colin think about responding to this pandemic?"

"We will release one per week until the limits of the current situation subside, or we run out of shows," Radiohead wrote in his fan newsletter.

The archives in this series of streaming shows are part of the Radiohead Public Library collection, an "online library" of Radiohead archives. This archive is divided based on the discography of the albums they have released.

Fans can access the Radiohead Public Library through their official website, radiohead.com. There, fans can find entire discography that contains many things, from video clips, live performances, visual artwork, merchandise, to the newsletters they create, waste.

At the Radiohead Library, enthusiasts can also create digital membership cards that can be downloaded for free. Since announcing the opening of the Radiohead Public Library, Radiohead has continued to curate the archives, the results of which they have thrown onto official social media accounts.

Some of the curated archives feature rare releases such as their first EP, "Drill EP". In addition, there is also the single I Want None of This which is part of the compilation album "Help! A Day in the Life". These various releases can now be heard on various music streaming services.
