I would say one of the best live performances ever, they are even better than the record live

It's refreshing to see someone not stop starting the song & constantly talk all over it.

I'm so glad you're enjoying this. My journey started in my friend's car carpooling to work in 2003. After about ten minutes, I just stopped what I was saying and asked, "who is this?! This is amazing!" And he replied, "yeah, this is the new Radiohead. Do you not listen to them already?"

That night I went home and found that record, Hail to the Thief, and I've listened to them nearly every day for 21 years now. Nothing else has ever done it for me like Radiohead. It never gets old. It always intrigues my brain. The patterns, the complexities.

Eventually I got myself a guitar to study music, mostly because I wanted to further understand Radiohead, and what they've created. I'm 52 now and have been playing guitar for a little over two years.

Thank you for giving your experienced analysis of their art. I really appreciate what you have to say.

This is my favorite Radiohead song, it actually was written way back in 1996/97 during the OK Computer sessions believe it or not!
They weren’t happy with the way it was sounding so they shelved it for 10+ years until they tried again and finally released this much more stripped down version on In Rainbows in 2007.
There’s live videos of them playing the original version on YouTube if you want to hear how different it sounded back then, I love both versions.
There’s several other songs that they did that with…Lift, Man O’ War, True Love Waits, and Follow Me Around…to name a few.

Thom's falsetto takes you to another dimension

This performance is immaculate ❤

Apart from the guitar, Jonny Greenwood is known for playing the Ondes Martenot, which is one of the first electronic instruments (similar to the Theremin but with a keyboard). The other guitarist, Ed O'Brien, uses an e-bow indeed. They both play the same notes one after the other, at 1:39. Jonny returns to the Ondes at the end of the song (4:46).

Thank you for this, Erol. Nearly at 1k subs, well deserved. I honestly prefer the "from the basement" versions, it just has this intimacy to it. In Rainbows and The King Of Limbs. That could be just me though. Excited for more, as always. Be well.

Great spotting of the E-Bow - seen few reactions pick that up. So many of the great atmospheric soundscapes Radiohead create are mistaken as synths or production when they are just the 2 very clever and experimental guitarists Jonny Greenwood and Ed O'Brien (using the E-Bow on this one) getting every possible tone or sound they can out of their guitars. With a 3 guitar band, that 3rd guitar can really open up some amazing layers and texture and it is prominent in their earlier more guitar heavy albums like "The Bends" and "OK Computer" and they evolved so much, they did less of that  setup but always come back to it here and there, and certainly often on "In Rainbows." Thom is a very solid Rhythm player though I don't think he gets much credit for it, given how central everything else he is doing is to their music. But for me, when all 3 guitars are going, on a song off this same concert like "Bodysnatchers" it is one of the coolest and best classic setups for the band to shine. Have enjoyed your reaction, def giving you a Sub off the E-Bow alone, but in general, thanks a lot. Peace/

I’m fan of the band. Your Radiohead reactions is a pleasure to watch. Thank you.
You humble feedback in the comments is so sweet

This is a great live to listen to, the entire set. 😀

This song for me Its about believing in a fantasy that isn't there. You hold on to something that isn't real. But in the end you can only blame yourself.

Thank YOU

I happen to be in the camp that believes all these songs should be heard as the studio versions for the first time, even though I know people love these live sessions. Especially the backing vocals on songs like this, and Reckoner, there is magic in those recorded versions.

I subscribed because you took the time to listen to this masterpiece.

Thanks for the reactions! How about Decks Dark off A Moonshaped Pool?

love your content. I think you're great. Admiration and respect. Thanks for the videos. In this song there is an e-bow, but also an ondes martinot played by Johhny Greenwood. The very high sustained note, then the e-bow follows it.

I'm loving seeing you go through this discography!

Ascension level is a rare emotion when listening to music. My core memory of this song was when I was just sitting on a nice chair staring up into the sky full of stars and really enjoying the soaring vocals that sounded like angels to me.

As great a version as this is live as everyone says, you really need to check out the studio version too - absolutely STUNNING arrangements and orchestration not present live, so SO good
