"Amateur Night" was the first webcast that Radiohead held, on December 10th 1999. Unfortunately, video footage of this 2 hour long webcast has been entirely lost. The only pieces of information about this webcast that have resurfaced are a few screenshots (courtesy of thomthomthom.com), a purported DJ setlist, and audio of the band's first performance of 'Knives Out'.
Ed remarking in his diary about the webcast:
first 'live' performance in front of an audience for exactly (and strangely) a year........it was early morning so it was the 10th. it started with jonny (aka DJ REQUIRED) and thom's dj set and then a last minute executive decision was made to play 'knives out' around the xmas tree. 'amateur hour' will hopefully become a regular night for us - but will be different each time - there will however be ongoing items like phil's puppet show. for those who don't know what i'm going on about - we did a live web broadcast to about 250 people - courtesy of tim bran and those lovely people at the ninja tunes label.
phil and thom also nailed a wonderful version of 'egyptian song' during the day. thom thinks it's the best thing we've committed to tape, ever.



A tradition for these webcasts is for the individual members of the band to perform mini DJ sets of songs they like. A purported master setlist has been circulating and will be reprinted here. It's unclear who was responsible for each mini-set, however:
