Ever since Radiohead announced that tickets to their spur-of-the-moment Haiti benefit concert would be auctioned off, I’ve been wondering how much people would be willing to pay for such a great cause, not to mention for the chance to see Radiohead in the relatively small Music Box at the Henry Fonda Theater perform a possible preview of their next album. Well, the show is wrapping up as we speak/type/read and it looks like Thom Yorke and the boys have raised over half a million dollars for Oxfam’s Haiti relief efforts.

We’ll get to the set list in a moment, but first: Thom Yorke made an interesting statement during the show’s second encore, revealing not only that some attendees had bid as high as $2,000 for their seat at the one-off concert, but that the night’s total haul for charity totaled $572,754! Wow is right.

As for the setlist (the show isn’t over yet, btw), the band played a mixture of old and new tunes, including Kid A’s “The National Anthem,” “Morning Bell,” and “Everything In Its Right Place,” as well as OK Computer’s “Paranoid Android,” “Exit Music (For a Film),” and many more. The most notable song choice (so far) was their new jam “Lotus Flower,” which Thom Yorke also previewed at one of his solo “Eraser band” shows.

**Update: Here’s the full setlist.

We’ll point to some more in depth reviews in the morning, but, until then, how about a round of applause for Radiohead and all the fans that made this awesome charity event possible.

Wilco were not among the amazing lineup of performers on last night’s “Hope For Haiti Now” telethon, unfortunately, but their status as one of most charitable bands in America is fully intact this morning, as Jeff Tweedy and company have posted two complete live concert downloads on their official site in exchange for a requested donation to either Oxfam or Doctors Without Borders.

The concerts Wilco have posted include their sets from Brooklyn’s Keyspan Park last summer in which Feist and Grizzly Bear’s Ed Droste joined the band for a number of songs, as well as their gig last fall at London’s HMV Forum.

“In exchange for the free music,” the band writes, “we ask that you make a minimum donation of $15 to the [Emergency Relief Funds of] one of the organizations listed above if you are able.”

To download this incredibly generous offer from Wilco go here, and here again are the donation locations:

Get your credit cards and cell phones ready… Radiohead just announced on their official Dead Air Space blog that they will play a concert at the Music Box at the Henry Fonda Theater in Los Angeles, CA this Sunday (January 24) to raise money for the relief effort in Haiti.

We’re in the middle of recording at the moment, so you’ll be catching us on the fly…. but if you’re up for it, then we are too.

So let’s see… I can donate money to a great cause, see Radiohead perform in a relatively small venue, and get a possible preview of LP8 all in one fell swoop? Umm… yes, please.
