it is in a VHS, need to convert it on an digital file and i don't have the material to do it by myself, so i can ask At a professional but I am a little limited money level at the moment, maybe one day And I must also find it in my old room;). It was in "les eurockéennes de Belford (France)" in 1997
From 1:51 throughout the second verse is a guitar line so good that I wonder why Jonny Greenwood didn't recycle it again everytime they played this live but I s'pose he can think of stuff like that off the top of his head easily enough that it probably doesn't matter to him
Yeah, exactly. And anytime you hear a performance of this song from around that time (summer 1997), he plays something *similar*, though not identical. It never sounded this good, though...at least not in the versions I've heard.
in fact, the band (thom yorke) was feeling the pressure before the release of The Bends, so they have opted to "americanize" the sound of the album as a whole in order to get a wider audience. maybe some changes could have happened during (or because of) these changes imposed or advised by i'm-not-sure-who
Dude it’s so fucking cool. It sounds like fucking sirens going by and like you know how it gets flatter with distance like as it goes by. He nails it it’s so sick
I used to play piano in a jazz combo. Top-level improvisation like this is something you cam prepare for, practice and practice to create spontaneously in the moment, but it's not strictly reproducible. It's on the edge of a razor live, and the next night's performance is an entirely different, unique razor's edge.
He plays pretty aggressively, and at least in the 90's he kind of wore out his arm doing it, so he'd sometimes wear that brace on his arm to combat his repetitive strain injury.
One of the best songs they ever made. Underrated but in my Top 5 list of all radiohead songs. The textures and the sound in this song are were very special for the mid 90s and that bass line is amazing.
You can force it but it will not come You can taste it but it will not form You can crush it but it's always here You can crush it but it's always near Chasing you home Saying, everything is broken Everyone is broken You can force it but it will stay stung You can crush it as dry as a bone You can walk it home straight from school You can kiss, you can break all the rules But still, everything is broken Everyone is broken Everyone is, everyone is broken Everyone is, everything is broken Why can't you forget? Why can't you forget? Why can't you forget?
You see Colin jumping at the end of the vid? They just kicked sooo much ass and he knows it. I love to watch Colin, grateful and humble. Class act Radiohead. These guys move mountains.
when i saw them live, the song that sounded the best was Just.... which had never really stood out to me. but jonny's guitar cut through the massive crowd and moved the earth under me and i felt like I was on the stage hearing it
i hope they start putting songs from the bends in their modern playlists and start letting jonny free associate all over them in the most devastating fashion
I COMPLETELY AGREE....i was watching this concert of theirs from 1995 where they played a lot of songs from Pablo Honey...and i was like MY GOD....it was so guitar oriented....Jonny beat the SHIT outta his guitar....no wonder he needed that wrist thingy.....Im in LOVE with In Rainbows...and the rest of their albums of course....but i do miss that GUITAR.
This is actually my SECOND favorite performance of this...my favorite being San Francisco '98...Thom seems to clearly be some sort of nervous breakdown, but the way he alters the vocal melody to hit these soaring notes (which is also done here, but less high and less consistently) makes i amazingly epic. Part of what makes this version compete, though is it's a lot less basy and clear...that could just be the wuality of the '98 booteg, but I'm pretty sure they just had the bass-end cranked up for that performance of PT
Wow never saw video of them onstage before (from the songwriting era of theirs that I loved the most). In the big arena rock plane of performance...U2 Bono and the Edge step to the rear of the stage..these guys' much heavier skills just blow you off the stage
i like their early live performances more than their more recent ones. the ones now are too synthy. though videotape is waaaay more awesome live than on record
the intro to this song is used for the intro to a program on the cbc.. just like the chorus guitar riff over and over again.. so like in canada eh? lol...
In Rainbows is insanely great. 4 Minute Warning is the best I've heard. The whole album seems like this journey towards a long-awaited and comfortable death, which is summed up in 4 Min Warning.

@slitheringinterstate they were at their creative peak as rock singers around the time this stuff came out (The Bends). They chose a different path as more "electronic" style later on. Their rock hasn't gotten much better than this stuff in my opinion but you can't ever really even compare their "electronic" style music with their guitar rock so much because they are stylistically very different. I myself prefer their guitar rock.
'97 was certainly the band's peak in terms of commercial success and critical acclaim, as you point out. the subsequent years leading up to Kid A/Amnesiac, though, were more innovative and prolific- the very essence of a creative peak
It's the 3 guitar player trick, the guy w/ the stratocaster, sorry, forget his name.. is playing the whammy bar, Johnny is doing keys at beginning and end w/ vibrato, also seems he's using the guitar amp vibrato in sync with whammy player.
@yeahyeahyaha2 It's a 72 Deluxe Tele with custom electronics. I read somewhere it was stolen which is why he doesn't use it anymore. But I dunno if that's true or not.
Is anyone know how jonny did this incredible sound at 1:50 ? It's like a doppler effect, you can fond it too on same song, Glastonbury 97. He did it just on 97' tour. I think he use the whammy to do it but i'm not so sure. Anyone knows ? This sound is the best he did, even better than go to sleep solo with max/msp application !
this is the shit...these guy are pissed off on this tune....they're just pushing it over the top...just killing it....nobody can play in their sand box...they dont f- around...I mean this is mean...killer.

3:59 love how Colin knows that was an unreal performance.
seems like he's their biggest fan
is by far the best version of planet telex that i ever heard
It was in France, I still have the VHS at home.
corgan59 really? why don't you upload it?

corgan59 Anyway thanks for taking the time to reply. There is a recording of the show on yt but it's missing some songs I guess...
WHAT AN OPENING TRACK ON WHAT I BELEIVE IS THEIR BEST ALBUM!!!
Best is OK, computer, new century bitch
Kid A or hail to the thief?anyone
Marc Domicello Yes!! The Bends is my favourite too, sooooo underrated!!
They're all great albums
insanely incorrect but ok

For some reason, I would really like to hear Radiohead cover the song 'Strawberry Fields Forever'.
I feel like Radiohead and the Beatles would mix really well
yeah i love it when colin smiles and jumps after a concert, so cute
I love the outro. I wish it were longer. I could listen to that riff all day.
They knew then they were in for big things down the road. Incredibly confident performance.
One of the best performances of Planet Telex I've seen. Thanks!
Sign'd.
He plays pretty aggressively, and at least in the 90's he kind of wore out his arm doing it, so he'd sometimes wear that brace on his arm to combat his repetitive strain injury.
Ed really makes this song.
That outro is probably their best work from the 90's.
Another interesting thing about Ed is his work on Airbag and the rhythm on Paranoid Android.
I keep playing this over and over. Can't get over how good it is.
man i love planet telex
Me too silly clown🥺
@@Blahajfromscotland08 NO U WEREN’T SUPPOSE TO SEE THIS
so perfect i cry
Thom looks like the "YOU WOT M8?!" kid here, hahaha.
TheEndTrend He does. 😂
I don't think that this will ever stop being my favorite song.
One of the best openings of the album!
Who needs drugs when you can watch this performance and be taken to the highest levels of the astral plane? Pure ecstasy.
Check out their Astoria gig 1994. Thom apologises for the new material! Classic.
Kickass, break-out performance by Ed O'Brien starting at 01:46. Thanks for the tip!
When they recorded this they were hammered.... everything in the recording studio was broken...and they were getting pissed off
Planet telex is a treasure that nobody knows about!
One of the best songs they ever made. Underrated but in my Top 5 list of all radiohead songs. The textures and the sound in this song are were very special for the mid 90s and that bass line is amazing.
@@PatoNani18 I agree and the perfect song to be introduced to them, a mix of rock and subtility.
Planet Telex is the first track where RH sounds like OK Computer… you can clearly see it here
Ahhh this band is everything
get into the next Im thinking. Best start to an album of all time
I believe this song is about anxiety
no its about when you go into a room and forget why you went
Brilliant start ...greatness began here.
every opener they've had has been amazing! pakt like sardines kicks, but 15 steps kicks harder!

Ed O Brian gets the underappreciated arpeggio duty.
I wonder how good he would be if let loose on a solo

This song's live version is a recent discovery and has been playing frequently in my head.

god that tremolo effect is so badass
Fantastique.
J'adore le son de 90's rock.
Just wow.
I started watching this with pants on
I am not wearing pants now...
Enough said.
Interesting
Great version, thanks for the upload.
i hope they start putting songs from the bends in their modern playlists and start letting jonny free associate all over them in the most devastating fashion
i think this is one of best performances from them. Purely Perfect period.

Tremendo recital!!
Perfection 😊. The bends baby!
I totally agree with you airbag is a masterpiece opener and it also introduces you to paranoid android and the rest of the album
RAW! so so good.
'97 is an exciting year in radiohead history. they were approaching their creative peak of Kid A/Amnesiac.
sounds like a weirdly hymn like song, bc of the chord sequence but it adds the minor f, so awesome
This video is perfect. 😢
wow storming version of this wish i'd been there.
Colin knows they nailed it.
Awesome version
hahaha Colin jumping around at the end is great
Awesome
Well said, my friend
@ChablesMan
one of the most euphoric outros ever !!!!
How the hell does jonny get those sounds
J'y étais!! :)
Fucking awesome!
O.O holy @#$. just awesome
Wow never saw video of them onstage before (from the songwriting era of theirs that I loved the most). In the big arena rock plane of performance...U2 Bono and the Edge step to the rear of the stage..these guys' much heavier skills just blow you off the stage
Their best album to date
I read somewhere once that he likes his part in Radiohead as being somewhat unnoticed and effects heavy. Whatever floats his boat...
i like their early live performances more than their more recent ones. the ones now are too synthy. though videotape is waaaay more awesome live than on record
great song mates !!
The Bends. Best Radiohead album in my opinion
oooohhh ;D nice and heavy , got a real punch , their so PUNK ! ;D)))
i fuckin love this song
Great fucking tune 🎸😁
the intro to this song is used for the intro to a program on the cbc.. just like the chorus guitar riff over and over again.. so like in canada eh? lol...
this was recorded on much music dope!
Great bass-line on 1:46
In Rainbows is insanely great.
4 Minute Warning is the best I've heard. The whole album seems like this journey towards a long-awaited and comfortable death, which is summed up in 4 Min Warning.

PLANET TELEX MY IRON LING 2 OD THE best radiofucking head songs ever!!!!
actually i think airbag is the best opener! but all their openers are great. start of the album with so much energy
not bad for a solid state amp!
