Radiohead approve fans' charity concert recording


To raise money for Oxfam,fans had been granted permission by rockers of Radiohead to sell an unofficial recording of the band's Haiti charity concert.

To help rescue efforts in the earthquake-hit nation,The group appear on the stage in Los Angeles last January (10) and audience caught the show on camera.

The band allowed it to be released on the condition that proceeds went to Oxfam's Haiti emergency fund.

One of the dedicated fans, Inez Rogatsky, says, "Collecting the footage took a while - maybe two or three months. Fourteen separate video recordings doesn't mean that there were 14 people standing there with professional equipment. Some of the recordings are a few seconds shot on an iPhone. On some of the songs I wish we had better coverage than we did.

"(After contacting the band's manager) I heard back within two days that it was a great idea. He mentioned that the band wanted us to get donations for Haiti. I suggested a few organisations, and they decided to go with Oxfam."
