Watch Radiohead cover Portishead

Radiohead have released a video of themselves covering Portishead's new single 'The Rip'.

The performance, which featured only Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood playing acoustic guitars, was recorded backstage before a gig in St Louis in the US on May 14.

Yorke and Greenwood's version alters the original track, which featured on the Bristol band's recent 'Third', released earlier this year, by sticking to the acoustic beginning and leaving out the more electronic later section.

You can watch the full Radiohead video at Waste-central.com.

Radiohead are set to perform at the Nimes Arenes in France tonight (June 14), before calling at venues in Italy, Germany, London, Glasgow and Manchester.
