They focused too much in electronic sounds probably. You can see that when they actually play it, it sounds a lot better. What's good about this is that even though it was "live" it still was "in the basement" so the recording is just as good as an album recording.
Oftentimes I think Johnny Greenwood has all of the answers to life, the universe, and everything cooked up in his head but is to terrified of their contents to share.
Please understand. - you sir, are a genius. that is exactly whats happening. and Gavin McLeod, he only shares the very tiniest amount. we just wouldnt understand if he let it all out.
I've seen some negative text on here about this being an experimental failure. These guys aren't making this music for the person that feels that way. They aren't making this music for me either. They create their art for themselves, if they weren't having fun they would call it a day.
I honestly don’t understand where people get off judging some else’s art. The entire notion of an art critic is nonsense and it makes me wish a comet would hit the earth.
You know you manifest reality with the chosen ice cream flavor. It could of been completely different if you ordered espresso Gelato with unconventional time signatures drizzled on top
+Fitztas Mavich so true especially with their later albums. When I sat down and listened to In Rainbows the first time I liked it... But I kind of didn't at the same time. I just think maybe there is a lot to process the first time with some of their music. And of course now a few listens in and more it's one of my favorite of all time.
+Ryan Beck True but I loved In Rainbows in the first go. It was stunning. For me, Kid A and The Kings of Limbs took some time before I could appreciate them and now that I do, I just can't seem to get out of it. And I need more Basement Sessions, for every album, every song they ever made.
If you get Hail to the Thief... look up Thoms revised setlist/ordering. The album suffered from lack of editing(everyone wanted THEIR song on the album and it became very uneven) -- If you haven't listened to In Rainbows I highly recommend it
Adyman182 You throw them out or place them at the end as a B side. They aren't very good and grind the album to a halt. I never believed in track list order/contents until Hail to the Thief came along. Thoms version changed the album for me.
Yes I know exactly what you mean! Idk if you play guitar, but i was astounded to find out how simple the guitar part is. It's just a standard d chord, but in the song it feels like nothing I've ever heard before. And if I close my eyes, I feel like he's singing it to me.
I think many people have these negative preconceptions about bands like Radiohead because of how popular they are, but in truth you _very rarely_ come across a band this well known who still make meaningful and soulful music with actual depth and not some run-of-the-mill radio fodder. I was really blown away how experimental some of this stuff is. All I can say is this band earned my respect. I'll show this to all my friends for sure.
They aren't even THAT popular when you think about it. They are super widely known in indie scenes, but if you ask a random person they probably would stare at your with a blank face.
As a drummer of 20+ years, I am very impressed by Clive Deamer's performance in this video, especially during "Staircase" starting at 37:22. He approaches every song with the demeanor of someone who is there not only to do his job, but to do it well. And well he does. He's a magnificent session musician. Magnificent.
Anyone notice how Thom Yorke tells the Johnny and Ed to chill on the guitars at the VERY beginning of Little By Little @ 14:54. Then he cues Johnny to come in on the 2nd measure. It's cool to think he just likes the sound of the song with just Drum and Bass at first. Just my thoughts.
Yaara C Bjork is my way of life. My mother even introduced her pre Bjork music to me as a Sugarcube. Back in her punk days. I absolutely love Bjork. I even saw her live in concert at the Nokia Theatre in L.A, Ca.
I've always managed to connect with "less accessible" radiohead albums through listening to them live. The songs just make more sense when you see what's actually going on instrumentally. They also tend to sound warmer and more organic which I like. Having said that I can still go back to the studio versions later and enjoy them more. This video has really helped me connect with the King of Limbs. I'm loving how much is going on with the rhythms and percussion but I'm also digging the melodies much more. Separator is astounding!
Codex is so fucking beautiful here! It's so calming, utterly transcendental. Thank you Radiohead, your albums are like the hallowed ground of the music industry.
Why does everyone on UA-cam care so much about whether this is better than X or the best of X..., as good as X, X out of 10? Surely it's enough that we're all here, we love it and it's fucking awesome, long may radiohead continue doing their thing! Let's stop overanalysing everything and enjoooooyyyyyy.

+Joseph Butler This is what UA-cam comments are about. and now please let the fighting continue.
Give up the ghost it seems underrated at first, but keep listing, and its one of the most beautiful tracks on here. Johnny's guitar creeps in the background hauntingly.....just beautiful. This song will help through alot.
This is the "first time" I've sat down and actually listened to Radiohead(honestly don't think ive heard anything before), and here were my reactions: *first song* 1) This is... different. 2) Are they just trying to stand out? 3) Ok that's pretty groovy... like the odd time signatures the drummers are doing... *40 minutes later* 4) Fuck, these guys are brilliant. They just won a fan.
This album was the biggest grower for me in 20 years. I liked it when I first heard it, but love it up there with Kid A and In Rainbows. Just spectacular.
Well, it was released as a single along with Staircase later that year, but the version on the single is the Live From The Basement version. I can tell because Thom's singing is identical from one to the other, down to the little 'u-whoa' sound he makes at the end. Still, I never would've guessed it was performed live just from listening to it - probably some subtle mixing done before the release, but the point remains that the performance was fantastic.
Foxface and The Mech I never new that the daily mail single was actually the basement version! It sounded so good that I immediately thought it had been done in a studio. Awesome stuff.
Consummate artists, every one of them. I come back and watch this every few months and still am amazed at the perfection. We're very lucky to be alive while they're making music.
Unique, compelling, and subtly organic; this performance takes the whole game to a different level. Most other musicians aren't even aware what game to play in comparison.
"Give up the Ghost," with its simple but brilliant looping, is one of the most gorgeous songs I've heard in a while. And its rich harmonies can be produced live by a single one person anywhere with just a voice, a guitar and the right software!
the music is so beautiful it's scary, I feel that Thom feels things more deeply, like he's more sensitive than most people, his voice sounds vulnerable and fragile and also innocent, I think that only people who are as vulnerable and loving as he seems can make this type of sound. like Jeff Buckley said once, "the way you live your life, that's how it comes out, if you're a kiss ass something in your voice is kiss ass"
He's operating on a level of sensitivity and creativity that most of us can't approach. It's one of the things that separates geniuses from the rest of us. Luckily we have his music as a gift to the rest of us, as painful as it often must be for him to make it.
+tantivymuckermaffikk anyone has the potential to make music like this, Thom Yorke probably doesn't think he's special. Stop putting them on a pedestal.
+Justin Brown Justin, I highly doubt just anyone is capable of making music at this level. The reason bands like Radiohead are special is that they have a talent that isn't ordinary.
I think the live and organic versions of many of radiohead's songs are perfectly pristine and you can just close your eyes and imagine yourself entirely somewhere else. The album versions of king of limbs songs are sometimes a hard pill to swallow, i.e. Morning mr magpie, yet you can still feel the depth of their intricacies and scope. But here, as the chemistry and talent of each band member coalesce, some songs that may otherwise struggle to grasp at us in packaged form, beautifully swell as an almost picturesque landscape. Like a soundtrack to a contrasts of chaos and elegance, there is something irrefutably magical between them. Hence, all songs reveal their true relevence. And what could not be seen before is an suddenly an epiphany to you now. And just what the hell am i trying to say? This is good shit, yo. Heh heh.
It's amazing to see the real work atmosphere, the place where music is made for itself, and not for any other purpose. After the end of 'the Daily mail' (10:40), there's a sound editor who very calmly says : "That's alright. Let's move on." -as if what just happened in that room was something ordinary. But If it had happened at a stadium, thousands of people would be blown away into other dimensions... This is a fraction of why Radiohead are so great.
CODEX. Not laughing, just flying ! Thanks Thom with friends, I would like to keep this song in my heart and in my head until......I leave this planet for another univers !!!
When watching any of the Radiohead in the basement vids it amazes me the natural talent, those little electronic changes between songs to make it work, the little chats between each song and timing changes. It is so personal just watching these guys in action. Probably my fave band ever and seeing them up-close and personal is just amazing.
There's just no other band that comes close. Not only is their music full of emotion and soul, it is also highly unconventional and technical. The chord progressions and harmony's they use are not something you'll come across on radio.
this is very uncommon to find such good quality upload. You can search for a better version, you won't find. Thanks for that. Now the music. THE MUSIC man. I'm 43y/o and never experienced this in my whole life. This is like so beautiful, so true, so right. I'm not the "fanatic" type, but here Radiohead, i completely falter, and go down on my knees, delicately, breathless. I read some comments and see some folks like me feel they got trapped, or are "heavily addicted"by some songs :) Let me say that i hear and feel you guys. I just play it over and over, enslaved. My neighboors must think i'm crazy, screw them. I finally wander: is this music dangerous? :-)
It sounded great. Everything was right where it was supposed to be. I like the whole album experience not just a song here or there. Its from front to back. Thats a real nice treat most people will never get to see cause they only watch the official video of a song or more from an album. I cant thank you enough for taking us for the ride. Im done........
Thom killed it on "give up the ghost"what a beautiful n amazing song..I truly love this man..he knows my soul...soul mate!! ok so now how do I stop dreaming about him...❓❓⁉⁉
I'm always coming back to this when winter is near. When I think of winter, the next thing that comes to my mind is Radiohead. Don't know why but it fits perfectly
whoah. That was incredible. They should have just recorded that session and those songs and released that as King of Limbs. Including Staircase which was incredible and finishing off with that incredible version of Give up the Ghost.
I really didn't like The King of Limbs before. But as time went on and I started to get into music more, turns out, I'm in love with it! In Rainbows might be my favorite Radiohead album at least out of the ones I've listened to. I think I'm going to go crazy and listen to lots of Radiohead. They clearly are one of the best bands of the past 20 years or so.
No puedo dejar de verlo, es magnífico en todas sus letras. A medida que más te vas introduciendo en la música, más te gusta, hasta un punto que se hace imparable, una verdadera adicción. 10/10.
Masters of their craft. This was my least favorite Radiohead album when it first came out, then I saw these "Basement" versions and now it's one of my favorite albums.
Wow never really saw the skill and focus it took to compose and play this album before, but in this video it's clear as day. Definitely gonna put it up there with Kid A and In Rainbows as a creative breakthrough. Thanks for the upload :)
I love the way they record these studio sessions; they let you in, like a valued friend and human being, with no pretenses about who they are, and let you feel their heartfelt music!
You may hate this album the first 1000 times you hear it... but only takes 1001 to love it... amazing undervaluaded master piece... even more this session.
Bloom is like an entirely different song here. I love how they took all of those subtle details from the studio version and turned it into one of the most frantic, pulsing and straight up ROCKIN' songs they've ever done.
How…how can this be? Like each album, it just washes over you. I’m always left with amnesia, like coming out of a dream and just having that great feeling. I love the return. I never tire of it.
Holy Gods, their performance of "Little by Little" is just... I just want to... dance. That tinny sound that came from the drum playing, just adds another level to this song... What the heck is that sound?
I can't believe there are some people in the world who don't have Radiohead in their lives. It makes me a bit sad, but also so grateful that I have them :)

Can we just agree that Radiohead are the best thing that has happened to music in the last 25 years?
Agreed! llmll
Hector Oviedo yes!
Hector Oviedo no
Hector Oviedo Radiohead, sigur ros and aphex twin.
LCD Soundsystem?
How I wish they had From The Basement for every album...
+SankoGaming I would do pretty much anything to get one with Kid A, a man can dream...
+Kidday42 Yes
Kid A would be sick.
+SankoGaming Ok Computer from the basement would be entertaining.
+Kidday42 OMG I would kill to see Motion Picture Soundtrack live...
This is much better than the album version
Dude ! That's what I'm here noticing 😳....... But why ?
They focused too much in electronic sounds probably. You can see that when they actually play it, it sounds a lot better.
What's good about this is that even though it was "live" it still was "in the basement" so the recording is just as good as an album recording.
Yekay yeke because some bands are just amazing live and Radiohead is one of them.
***** so much better
***** correcectttomondo young man!! but only by 0.078%
One day, whether you want it or not, Radiohead starts clicking for you and then that’s it.
This album is beautiful and live is so powerful.
after almost 30 years this band is still getting further with it. Just crazy.
I know right. They just keep evolving.
absolute best way to describe this/them
they have demos on youtube from 1986
contactkeithstack
thats awesome, can we have the link? thatd be so interesting to hear
I did not know that. They're truly incredible.
Bloom live is the most remarkable live performance I've ever seen.
+Florals LA no it isn't....its rubbish noisiness...then it sounds a bit gem....then its flaps again....that's the way it goe's
Ok
+Florals LA yeah, and it's the perfect opener to a radiohead show
Airbag live on Jools Holland is better
@@AlanAttack, this song basically *blooms*
Radiohead is like a fine wine, they get better with age.
Yeah
Their first song was C.R.A.P
haha
Since the day I discovered Radiohead I have been blown away.
Well aren't you a fucking genius.
Melissa Burdick that last part of your surname really says something about your attitude
Melissa Burdick lol
kebiwoni its so relaxing listen them

I love everything they've done. They changed my life.
Lotus flower is amazing here, what a groove.
seriously. phil and clive are both so on point
Yes
Was just thinking the same thing!
Little by little, The King Of Limbs will grow on you.
Codex = Heaven in my mind...
I just feel like I'm unattached from the world for a few minutes and it's pure bliss
I love you Radiohead.
could not agree more!!
Bbb bub Oh
That is exactly how the song makes me feel, it´s literally heaven
indeed my friend, indeed.
Still feel the same 10 years later
Oftentimes I think Johnny Greenwood has all of the answers to life, the universe, and everything cooked up in his head but is to terrified of their contents to share.
Please understand. He shares with the way he plays
Please understand. - you sir, are a genius. that is exactly whats happening. and Gavin McLeod, he only shares the very tiniest amount. we just wouldnt understand if he let it all out.
Please understand. yeah i used to think pretentious shit like that when i was 17, but then i grew up
I think the same thing, except it's Donnie Osmond, not Johnny. (Or was it Scooby doo?)
buck calhoun Well done! You really kicked his pretentious ass. Now you can be proud of your self. Very proud.
I've seen some negative text on here about this being an experimental failure. These guys aren't making this music for the person that feels that way. They aren't making this music for me either. They create their art for themselves, if they weren't having fun they would call it a day.
Agreed, I think they're truly a musician's band. They're chasing the muse eternal. Fans are a nifty but optional side-effect.
yeah,this isn"t muse,god forbid.
I honestly don’t understand where people get off judging some else’s art. The entire notion of an art critic is nonsense and it makes me wish a comet would hit the earth.
I thoroughly enjoy it, but others don’t have to. TKOL just keeps growing on you every time you sit down to listen again. True art for sure.
You know you manifest reality with the chosen ice cream flavor. It could of been completely different if you ordered espresso Gelato with unconventional time signatures drizzled on top
There is no one else even playing the same fucking game as Radiohead. The Best Band. Period.
I totally agree im a lil obsessed...
Mk Hansen hell yes, no question about it!!
+Mk Hansen Arcade Fire
Talent is Talent, maybe not theee best, but definitely one of hands down.
Separator is my jam.
Bloom is mine, when the brass comes in I'm like 0.0 Just the amount of layers and textures is just incredible!

Im heavily addicted to Separator

I had no idea I liked Radiohead this much. I've been missing out for so long.
Going to buy some albums.
If you get Hail to the Thief... look up Thoms revised setlist/ordering. The album suffered from lack of editing(everyone wanted THEIR song on the album and it became very uneven) -- If you haven't listened to In Rainbows I highly recommend it
Exodin
I still think Hail to the Thief is fantastic
Adyman182 You throw them out or place them at the end as a B side. They aren't very good and grind the album to a halt. I never believed in track list order/contents until Hail to the Thief came along. Thoms version changed the album for me.
You're in for a treat.
Do yourself a favour and don't bother with Pablo Honey and Hail To The Thief. All their other albums are masterpieces.
After listening to give up the ghost, I just want to bawl uncontrollably.
Thanks mate :')

Please tell me that sounded alright...

I was starting to think I was the only one who thought of it that way
Dude...it really is... the collaborative effort is amazing.. the end of it blows my god damn vestibulocochlear nerve
The drum work is phenomenal. I swear that 808 tom was just a loop
I am the president of the United States of America, and i approve this comment
as raw as ever - you can not but admire theyre craft
"Please tell me that sounded alright!?" That sounded f'ing amazing.
Codex is so fucking beautiful here! It's so calming, utterly transcendental. Thank you Radiohead, your albums are like the hallowed ground of the music industry.
For months I've been listening to The Daily Mail thinking it was a studio recorded B-side. That's how on point they are live. I am in awe.
Gotta admit, I am loving the two-drummer scenario. I'm a huge fan, been one for decades.
Saw Atoms for Peace during their world tour and they had 2 drummers. It was absolutely incredible and added an entirely new dimension to the live show
Separator wasn't long enough in this video.. Just never want it to end.. so beautiful
Why does everyone on UA-cam care so much about whether this is better than X or the best of X..., as good as X, X out of 10?

Ricardo Santa It's on DVD and BluRay! Released in December 2011.
Simoyorke 20 haha thanks typing error was watching this whole gig late at night.
Bloom is so fucking amazing here... IT'S WHAT KEEPS ME ALIVE!
This is the "first time" I've sat down and actually listened to Radiohead(honestly don't think ive heard anything before), and here were my reactions:
*first song*
1) This is... different.
2) Are they just trying to stand out?
3) Ok that's pretty groovy... like the odd time signatures the drummers are doing...
*40 minutes later*
4) Fuck, these guys are brilliant. They just won a fan.
This isn't even there best stuff, the king of limbs is widely considered as one of their weaker albums even though it's really damn good.
I tell everyone just to listen and I promise you will become a fan!
This album was the biggest grower for me in 20 years.
I liked it when I first heard it, but love it up there with Kid A and In Rainbows.
Just spectacular.

what an out-worldly drumming composition in Separator. just got reminded how obscenely good RH is.

The King of Limbs - a collection so thoroughly over the top in musicianship.
This is the best performance, of any kind, I have ever seen, in my 26 years of life.
It sounded great. Everything was right where it was supposed to be. I like the whole album experience not just a song here or there. Its from front to back. Thats a real nice treat most people will never get to see cause they only watch the official video of a song or more from an album. I cant thank you enough for taking us for the ride. Im done........
Lotus Flower is such a beautiful song.. Always makes me feel like I'm on the verge of tears. I love it.
Thom killed it on "give up the ghost"what a beautiful n amazing song..I truly love this man..he knows my soul...soul mate!! ok so now how do I stop dreaming about him...❓❓⁉⁉
I'm always coming back to this when winter is near. When I think of winter, the next thing that comes to my mind is Radiohead. Don't know why but it fits perfectly
Maybe my life is a winter then... I think of them constantly.
I agree.
RADIOHEAD , I LOVE YOU FOREVERRRRR , THANKS FOR EXISTING ON THIS EARTH !!!
whoah. That was incredible. They should have just recorded that session and those songs and released that as King of Limbs. Including Staircase which was incredible and finishing off with that incredible version of Give up the Ghost.
word. this trumps the studio version a trajillion times over.
Eileen Jones Exactly. My first thought after finding this.
Daily Mail is so much more visceral and packs a way bigger punch than on the album. I love this rendition so much!
It's actually the same recording, they mastered it a bit on the Single though. :p
Phil has glued a shaker to a drumstick. Neat.
I love the stylish camera work and editing and amazing muzik
When I heard Bloom, my mind goes to another dimension. Pretty awesome.
Another great Radiohead basement performance.
Incredible musicians.
Really enjoyed this. Latecomer to Radiohead music. Gotta check out their older stuff!
Their older stuff is good as this one, you should try OK Computer first, my number one album from Radiohead.
Thanks, I'll check that one out.
damn, this version of Little by Little is hypnotic!
Just listened to it 10 times in a row, and I'm not getting tired of it!
Amazing live!
I'm guilty of this too, sounds better than the album version dont you think?
Definitely!
I'll ask my wee gee board the best song
Thanks for posting this video.
Cheers
LP
I've watched this so many times. I'm here watching again with that same old feeling that Radiohead is the best band ever.
fantastic finale of lotus flower on this version
I really didn't like The King of Limbs before. But as time went on and I started to get into music more, turns out, I'm in love with it! In Rainbows might be my favorite Radiohead album at least out of the ones I've listened to. I think I'm going to go crazy and listen to lots of Radiohead. They clearly are one of the best bands of the past 20 years or so.
ive seen this several times and every time i see the daily mail i literally can just shake my head and say *WOW*
SEPARATOR...I can put that song on loop forever...
Thom Yorke, a man I wish to see grow gracefully old.
No puedo dejar de verlo, es magnífico en todas sus letras. A medida que más te vas introduciendo en la música, más te gusta, hasta un punto que se hace imparable, una verdadera adicción. 10/10.

Tanto tiempo
It's been two days, and I still play this video on the loop, just never get enough, never...
So masterfully played, I'm so blown away by Raidiohead's brilliance.
Masters of their craft. This was my least favorite Radiohead album when it first came out, then I saw these "Basement" versions and now it's one of my favorite albums.
Wow never really saw the skill and focus it took to compose and play this album before, but in this video it's clear as day. Definitely gonna put it up there with Kid A and In Rainbows as a creative breakthrough. Thanks for the upload :)
just this one here!
I love the way they record these studio sessions; they let you in, like a valued friend and human being, with no pretenses about who they are, and let you feel their heartfelt music!
Second fav radiohead album. Glad to find this.

You may hate this album the first 1000 times you hear it... but only takes 1001 to love it... amazing undervaluaded master piece... even more this session.
Sil C, many thanks for reposting this. it is a masterpiece
I needed this...thank you poster and Radiohead.....
AHA
YEAH
THATS RIGHT!
I wasn't able to shut off the video until it ends, this is just incredible seriously! Whoaa!
Ecstasy right here... Just the definition of love right here... Separator, Bloom, Lord Have Mercy On My Humble Soul!
Thanks for the upload! :)
Bloom is like an entirely different song here. I love how they took all of those subtle details from the studio version and turned it into one of the most frantic, pulsing and straight up ROCKIN' songs they've ever done.
How…how can this be? Like each album, it just washes over you. I’m always left with amnesia, like coming out of a dream and just having that great feeling. I love the return. I never tire of it.
Simply amazing. One of best appearances ever
Holy Gods, their performance of "Little by Little" is just... I just want to... dance. That tinny sound that came from the drum playing, just adds another level to this song... What the heck is that sound?
My all time favorite creators of music; only too discover there is more. So much more! Thank you radiohead, and thank you for your basement.
From their first album to their last they have helped me cope with life that they will never no and i thank them from the bottom of my heart
The Daily Mail is such a good song. It is going on my list of songs to play at the end of the world.
I can't believe there are some people in the world who don't have Radiohead in their lives. It makes me a bit sad, but also so grateful that I have them :)
