wonderful share; i love how thom acknowledges that the performance is gonna be shared and loved by bootleggers. the song seems mostly fully-formed--aside from some of the vocal flourishes that weren't completely necessary and the drifty piano lines that worked well enough as ornamentation but didn't really develop anywhere. and this version lacks the pivotal moment where thom goes into falsetto and matches the minor third decent on the ondes martenot, disappearing completely into the composition. but the rest of it is all there and working well, and that's pretty cool for a debut performance!
“I know what I’ve seen, you throw me out and send me back again” is a part I wish was in the original as well, perfect transition which matches the later lines “Fireworks and blown speakers, strobe lights and hurricanes”. It’s like an extended version of the song, giving extra context as to why he’s waiting, he’s had enough of it and lets her and this destructive cycle of the relationship goes, and that the moment to rectify this, in the present is long gone and in the future where ruminating and regretting that decision is pointless since it is final. They likely removed it due to the long run time and that it’s likely better removed to fit a wider context. The other version could be Radiohead’s own experience with EMI, seeing everything and having to do all these concerts were posing them off, being down with the job and having to do it again under the contract.
@@theorangeoof926 Almost sounds like the line "you reel me out then you cut the string" from 15 step. Maybe they decided to recycle it for the later In Rainbows?
@@CL2- That’s actually a kind of interesting idea and I admit I couldn’t see the connection, but it is almost 9 years after the release of this demo to the publication of In Rainbows, implying that it could be coincidental.
@@theorangeoof926 That's true, but most of In Rainbows is made up of old demos that the band touched up later ("Reckoner" was one of the exceptions, some other ones, not too sure). So it's definitely a possibility that some lines came from this era of Radiohead
so very curious to know the original format of this recording given the noise, has a sort of cassette tape vibe to it, IM IN LOVE, thanks for sharing :D
That there, that's not me I go where I please I float I float down the liffey I'm not here This isn't happening I'm not here I'm not here I know what I've seen You throw me out then send me back again In a little while I'll be gone The moment's already passed Yeah, it's gone Yeah, it's gone Yeah, it's gone Fireworks and blown speakers Strobe lights and hurricanes I'm not here This isn't happening I'm not here I'm not here
It's very interesting to see how a song I love developed to its final album stage. Like what were the first ideas they came up, which got scratched, which got changed and so on
True. But this is the recording that I fell in love with and obsessed over in '99. I had listened to this bootleg about 300 times by the time Kid A came out. The album version is lovely, but there is a certain raw energy in this one that went amiss in the studio... like with many of their songs
so glad i’m on underground live radiohead music youtube
Fr
Fr, such a life death unique opportunity to be delighted by existence and non existence simultaneously
Watch 1997 Motion Picture Soundtrack live
1998 they werent underground
@hydraomega8506 he means the live performance recordings on UA-cam are underground
Holy shit, this version is just as beautiful as the Kid A version. I wish there was a higher quality recording of this tho :(
i'm pretty sure that someone will make this clean someday with A.I.
give this song the john lennon treatment
this is pretty high quality?
@@titanicf0gnot enough!
@@joaoflpeai so far is very obvious and sounds bad
This is what happen if htdc released in ok computer album
the song was written after the album released
@@K0NGsure it was written after but the instrumentation is much more okc-like than the final version (or anything else on kid a for that matter)
kiryus main song after losing nishiki
It’s just a song, why are you crying?
The song:
what if hypothetically i had something in my eye

wonderful comment; you seem like a cool and nice person! 😁
And yes, you've just been present at the first playing of a masterpiece
5:45 wow, the piano addition (kinda sounds like a guitar too lol) is absolutely gorgeous. i wish they added this in the official release.

Could be wrong, but is it possibly a Rhodes piano? Hard to tell.
Thank you for sharing this masterpiece
You are welcome.
I think this has helped me fully understand the hype around this song. I liked it before but . I'm speechless

I forget the model, but it was a Sony microcassette tape recorder.
Damn, this dude was actually there. YOU ROCK @@DavidRamos-sr8cx
That there, that's not me
I go where I please
I float
I float down the liffey
I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here
I know what I've seen
You throw me out then send me back again
In a little while
I'll be gone
The moment's already passed
Yeah, it's gone
Yeah, it's gone
Yeah, it's gone
Fireworks and blown speakers
Strobe lights and hurricanes
I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here
Love that “blown speakers” and “hurricanes” are swapped here
@@olliejenkins5148or fireworks and strobe lights are swapped
What a treat. Thanks the Radiohead boys, as always.
So raw and experimental, love it
Time takes care of the problem very nicely.
sounds like a bends b side. phenomenal!
more like ok computer imo
Don't worry. Worry is a killer. In a little while I'll be gone.

Absolutely beautiful version!
shows the value of editing/engineering, even for a star as brilliant as Radiohead.
I’ve listened to this bootleg so many times
im so late
I want the lyrics to this song in this version
Awesome! Radiohead being Radiohead
it sounds like it came off of the bends album
A glorious moment in history
Ahh, this version…. Forever gladed for this upload, David. Thank you!
So pretty.
THE RHODES SOLO
raw and beautiful
this is fucking beautiful
woh
Cool
