In August 2009 Radiohead played a concert in Prague where more than 50 fans in the audience collaborated to shoot the band from every possible angle with cheap, hand-held flip cameras.
Their mission was to create a fan-made concert film that captured the true experience of being at the gig. Radiohead lent their support to the project, supplying their hi-fi audio recordings to the film makers.
The film is now finished and has been released online. The Radiohead Prague DVD is available to download for free or to stream on youtube.
As expected, there's been huge amounts of traffic to the site, causing some problems with downloading. But there's no end-date for the free download and the site clearly states the footage is: "Strictly not for sale. By the fans, for the fans. Please share and enjoy."
Radiohead shot and released a 10-song acoustic set in 2008 but haven't released a full concert film since 1995's Live at the Astoria.
Here's a sample of the Radiohead Prague DVD:
