    Later this month, Radiohead will mark the 20th anniversary of OK Computer with a deluxe reissue featuring three previously unreleased tracks taken from the album’s original recording sessions. One of those tracks, “I Promise”, has already been released as an early single and also received a video from Michael Marczak. Now that the song is out in the open, the band has added it to its live setlist.
