Frontman Thom Yorke says the band's two-hour-plus performance at Bonnaroo music festival, full of new material, will be released "eventually."

Radiohead fans unable to make last June's Bonnaroo festival, where the band played a two-and-a-half-hour set full of new material, are in luck.

Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke told BBC 6 Music host Tom Robinson late last week that the performance was filmed for a DVD, but the plan has no imminent plans to release it.

"We did this festival called Bonnaroo," Yorke told Robinson. "We did 2.5 hours. And there's 80,0000 people, admittedly they've been smoking the sticky green all day, probably wouldn't go anywhere anyway. It was just amazing. We played loads of new stuff.

"We did whole sections of quiet piano songs and it sounds like the most grotesque self-indulgent nonsense but it probably is my favorite gig for years and years and years," he continued. "It was a really mellow evening. Actually it's all being filmed, but we're sitting on it because there's loads of new stuff on it. Because we're mean like that. It will come out eventually."

The Eraser, Thom Yorke's first album away from Radiohead, is intensely focused and steady. It doesn't have the dynamics -- the shifts of mood, tempo, volume -- held by any Radiohead album, and it's predominantly electronic, so it's bound to rankle many of the fans who thought Kid A was too unhinged from rock & roll. It's definitely not the kind...
