Editing Kid A (section)

=== Tour ===
Radiohead rearranged the ''Kid A'' songs to perform them live. O'Brien said, "You couldn't do ''Kid A'' live and be true to the record. You would have to do it like an art installation ... When we played live, we put the human element back into it."<ref name="Rolling Stone-2001">{{Cite magazine|date=2001-06-21|title=Radiohead take ''Amnesiac'' on tour|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/radiohead-take-amnesiac-on-tour-242596/|access-date=2021-10-04|magazine=[[Rolling Stone]]|language=en-US|archive-date=4 October 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211004143241/https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/radiohead-take-amnesiac-on-tour-242596/|url-status=live}}</ref> Selway said they "found some new life" in the songs when they came to perform them.<ref name="Rolling Stone-2001" /> Yorke said: "Even with electronics, there is an element of spontaneous performance in using them ... It was the tension between what's human and what's coming from the machines. That was stuff we were getting into, as we learned how to play the songs from ''Kid A'' and ''Amnesiac'' live."<ref name="Fricke2">{{cite magazine |last=Fricke |first=David |author-link=David Fricke |date=27 June 2003 |title=Bitter prophet: Thom Yorke on ''Hail to the Thief'' |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/bitter-prophet-thom-yorke-on-hail-to-the-thief-20030626 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170318111404/http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/bitter-prophet-thom-yorke-on-hail-to-the-thief-20030626 |archive-date=18 March 2017 |access-date=15 April 2017 |magazine=[[Rolling Stone]]}}</ref>

In mid-2000, months before ''Kid A'' was released, Radiohead toured the Mediterranean, performing ''Kid A'' and ''Amnesiac'' songs for the first time.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.followmearound.com/presscuttings.php?year=2000&cutting=75 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924014231/http://www.followmearound.com/presscuttings.php?year=2000&cutting=75 |archive-date=24 September 2015 |last=Oldham |first=James |title=Radiohead&nbsp;– Their Stupendous Return |work=NME |date=24 June 2000 |access-date=15 May 2007 }}</ref> Fans shared concert [[Bootleg recording|bootlegs]] online.

Radiohead also performed three concerts in North American theatres, their first in nearly three years. The small venues sold out rapidly, attracting celebrities, and fans camped overnight.<ref name="NME" /> ''Rolling Stone'' described the ''Kid A'' tour as "a revelation" that "exposed rock and roll humanity" in the songs.<ref name="Rolling Stone-2001" /> In October, Radiohead performed on the American TV show ''[[Saturday Night Live]]''. The performance shocked viewers expecting rock songs, with Jonny Greenwood playing electronic instruments, the house brass band improvising over "The National Anthem", and Yorke dancing erratically to "Idioteque".<ref name="Letts2010">{{cite book|author=Marianne Tatom Letts|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=3HSuhm6DRGgC&pg=PA167|title=Radiohead and the Resistant Concept Album: How to Disappear Completely|date=8 November 2010|publisher=Indiana University Press|isbn=978-0-253-00491-8|pages=158, 167, 219|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161226222209/https://books.google.com/books?id=3HSuhm6DRGgC&pg=PA167|archive-date=26 December 2016|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}}</ref> In November 2001, Radiohead released ''[[I Might Be Wrong: Live Recordings]]'', comprising performances from the ''Kid A'' and ''Amnesiac'' tours.<ref name="Letts2010" />
