Release

The DVD edition of Live at the Astoria, digitally restored and remastered, was released on 21 November 2005 in Europe and on 22 November 2005 in North America.[4]

To be included on the bonus discs of the collector's editions of Pablo Honey and The Bends, the concert was split between the two. "You", "Ripcord", "Creep", "Prove Yourself", "Vegetable", "Stop Whispering", "Anyone Can Play Guitar", "Pop Is Dead" and "Blow Out" were included on the re-release of Pablo Honey. Whereas "Bones", "Black Star", "The Bends", "My Iron Lung", "Maquiladora", "Fake Plastic Trees" "Just", and "Street Spirit (Fade Out)" featured on the re-release of The Bends.

On 28 May 2020 the video premiered on YouTube, as part of Radiohead's "quarantine concert series" to compensate for a lack of live performances during the COVID-19 pandemic.[2][1][5]
