I Might Be Wrong: Live Recordings is a 2001 live "mini album" by English rock band Radiohead, consisting of live performances of eight songs recorded on a then-recent tour of Europe and North America: seven from their albums Kid A and Amnesiac, and one never released on a studio album, "True Love Waits", performed on acoustic guitar by singer Thom Yorke.
The live arrangements differ somewhat from the studio versions. For instance, "The National Anthem" has a larger "fuzz bass" guitar sound and lacks the free jazz ending of the studio version, "Idioteque" builds into a frenzied audience singalong, "I Might Be Wrong" emphasizes the rhythm section and is more of a dance tune, while "Everything in Its Right Place" is about three-and-a-half minutes longer, with a more jam-like rave quality, as well as making use of improvised effects on a Korg Kaos Pad. Most drastically altered for live performance is "Like Spinning Plates." The studio-recorded Amnesiac version featured backwards singing over a pulsing electronic backdrop, while the live version is a haunting piano ballad accompanied by sparse bass notes and a string synth. (This recording also marks the first time "Like Spinning Plates" was performed live, recorded at Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio in August 2001. The CD is labeled inaccurately and does not mention this performance as a source of the recording. Corrected information about the concerts heard on the live album can be found at Green Plastic.)
