@@somynamesrobbieparker1413 Lacks the soul? Nude, All I Need, Videtape? Nah, If anything it was the opposite, as OKC was focused on technology so there was a lot of electronic influences to make it sound more "robotic" and experimental. In Rainbows stripped down the electronic to sound 100% human and I believe they're both masterpieces, just totally different monsters. You're entitled to your opinion though.
@@EnkiDenki7 I think I get what I think he is trying to say. I cant really explain it but it isnt really a bad thing against In Rainbows. Just that something the band had during OK Computer is something that they and no other band will have again.
@@richardroberson2564 I can explain it, it was their peek of popularity (transition between OK Computer to KID A). Everyone was talking about them at the time... BUT they never "lacked soul", even in amnesiac, the least popular album. I even agree that OK Computer is technically their strongest album.. Although if he said that King of the Limbs lacked soul, I wouldn't have said anything. :P
@@monke8949 Album recording isn't the same as live performance, Thom Yorke said it himself. Didn't argue that Pablo is their weakest, even newer fans knows that... but TKOL comes right after. :D
You wouldn't have been able to stream it with your dial-up connection anyhow Hey, kids! Be reasonable. Sharing this in 1997 probably would have meant going on the radiohead newsgroup or a fan email list and volunteering to mail people VHS copies. That's if you had the means to duplicate VHS tapes, which most didn't. And going to the actual post office. Only grateful deadheads had that level of motivation.
@The Betbet Underground Honestly, everything Thom wrote during this era was perfect, OK Computer honestly could have been a double album with the amount of material they had. Lift, Big Boots/Man of War, Big Ideas/Nude, I Promise, Life in a Glasshouse, I Will, Follow Me Around, Are You Someone?, the list goes on... Thom was a songwriting machine. Personally, I prefer the OK Computer demo versions to the new releases of all these songs. Meeting People Is Easy is a goldmine of lost Radiohead tracks.
God... everything about this recording man. The solo acoustic guitar, the lack of audience, the genuine VHS quality and artifacts, the amount of reverb on his voice, the lack of stage lighting. I mean, he's practically backlit into a silhouette for most of the video. It's the PERFECT vibe for this song. Like seriously, THIS could be the music video for this song. One can only wonder what could have been.
@@somynamesrobbieparker1413 well for songs like this I don't think his voice would differ that much; paranoid android is pretty demanding vocal range wise for him, but he pretty much sings songs like this nowadays. I bet he could still pull it off.
Thom was in the absolute peak of his lyric writing in this era: ‘for a minute there, I lost myself’ , ‘too much, too bright, too powerful’ , ‘hey man, slow down’ simple lyrics that invoke so much emotion in the listener.
"when i go forwards, you go backwards, and somewhere we will meet" "we hope that you choke" "im too busy to see you, you're too busy to wait" "way up above aliens hover, making home movies for the folks back home of all these weird creatures who lock up their spirits, drill holes in themselves and live for their secrets" "one day i am going to grow wings/one day you'll know where you are" so many bangers from this era. id kill to come up with any of these lines
"In rainbows" studio version shows more distinctly how the arrangement of the song and rythm seem to mix "No surprise" and "Karma Police". Discovering that the song is form 1997 doesn't surprise me at all in that sense
This only made it as a bonus track of In Rainbows as a re-done piano track, and just lost something from this. This version is haunting, and the song was made to be played like this on guitar, and a huge ending..
@@MarionRelics I think the reverb in this version makes it sound so haunting and enormous. I think if Thom performed it on guitar in the smaller space without reverb it would sound more minimalistic.
Amazing performance.... hauntingly beautiful with that reverb. This song really resonates with me, like Thom is speaking to something I only wish I could convey half as poignantly as he does.
Appliances have gone berserk I cannot keep up Treading on people's toes Snot-nosed little punk And I can't face the evening straight You can offer me escape Houses move and houses speak If you take me there you'll get relief Relief, relief, relief, relief... And if I'm gonna talk I just wanna talk Please don't interrupt Just sit back and listen 'Cause I can't face the evening straight You can offer me escape Houses move and houses speak If you take me there you'll get relief Relief, relief, relief, relief... It's too much Too bright Too powerful Too much Too bright Too powerful Too much Too bright Too powerful Too much Too bright Too powerful
For me Radiohead it’s the highest evolution of music. It’s the inspiration for new generation of musicians. We can hear their influence in albums of interprets like-Travis, Coldplay, Tom Odell, Silverchair and many others. And especially this song is unique cause it’s timeless. I can’t even imagine this song has been written in 1997 and maybe even earlier.
Here’s the lyrics: Appliances have gone berserk I cannot keep up Treading on people's toes Snot-nosed little punk And I can't face the evening straight And you can't offer me escape Houses move and houses speak If you take me there you'll get relief Believe, believe, believe, believe And if I'm gonna talk I just wanna talk Please don't interrupt Just sit back and listen 'Cause I can't face the evening straight And you can't offer me escape Houses move and houses speak If you take me there you'll get relief Believe, believe, believe, believe It's too much Too bright Too powerful Too much Too bright Too powerful Too much Too bright Too powerful Too much Too bright Too powerful

Say no more fam
True
Riiiiight?!?
- 100% a band member wrote this
when a song is so ahead of its time that you have to wait 10 years to release it

I'll never forgive who recorded this in the 90s for not sharing it until over a decade later
Caverman it's already on In Rainbows side B
Still over a decade since '97

So My Name's Robbie Parker
Why tf are you so flustered at peoples enjoyment of this should be the question

Imagine how annoying it would be if you heard that song live and loved but it but didn't get to listen to it again until years later
@@somynamesrobbieparker1413 what about the people at the venue
@@Tehan123 what he's saying it's that there was no regular audience, but we don't really know
Like 11 years. Yeah, unfortunately that’s happened with a few of his songs.

this is a hell of a soundcheck
Better than many bands entire concert
Fuck yes.
How he sings the relief verse is so hauntingly beautiful. Thom probably has one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard.
Britney agreed :’)
So My Name's Robbie Parker I see no difference whatsoever idk what you’re talking about
@@somynamesrobbieparker1413 well for songs like this I don't think his voice would differ that much; paranoid android is pretty demanding vocal range wise for him, but he pretty much sings songs like this nowadays. I bet he could still pull it off.
I always thought he said "believe"
I don't think his voice is beautiful his voice is like my uncle voice i mean his voice is understandable and easy to listen , that's it
Thom was in the absolute peak of his lyric writing in this era: ‘for a minute there, I lost myself’ , ‘too much, too bright, too powerful’ , ‘hey man, slow down’ simple lyrics that invoke so much emotion in the listener.
but The Tourist was written by Jonny
oh wait yeah actually thom did write the chorus
you forgot "t h e r a i n d r o p s"
such a pretty house and such a pretty garden
"when i go forwards, you go backwards, and somewhere we will meet"
"we hope that you choke"
"im too busy to see you, you're too busy to wait"
"way up above aliens hover, making home movies for the folks back home of all these weird creatures who lock up their spirits, drill holes in themselves and live for their secrets"
"one day i am going to grow wings/one day you'll know where you are"
so many bangers from this era. id kill to come up with any of these lines
thom alone with a guitar creates a very powerful moment, every. single. time.
OK Computer era keep creeping us on, today and forever
There are two halves of my life. The time before I listened to this song. And my life after first hearing it.
earth alaska Same
How did your life change after listening to it?
What changed after hearing it?
She just understands what life is about man...
earth alaska
the same would actually be true about Justin Bieber’s “baby”
Only Radiohead can write a song this good and have it take 12 years before they even need to bother recording it properly.
They didn't even record it properly. It was just Thom. No other help. I'm not being cute.
My favorite version of this song. A freaking sound check. Floored.
The reverb on this truly ramps the emotion up to 11. Fantastic version.
True, I hate how dry the album version is.
@@MarionRelics slap some reverbbb on it
Somehow the quality makes this even better
I get impressed with that artists that can play on te darkness and don't make any mistakes..
he usually plays with cosed eyes, so the darkness around him shouldn't be a problem : D
A lot of musicians use muscle memory do its not that much of an issue
just as impressive to okay under bright strobing lights as well
It's called muscle memory.
@@stolenhal0 yeah, it’s more so impressive if they switch out guitars constantly, each one feels pretty different
One of the most hauntingly beautiful things I've ever heard...
"In rainbows" studio version shows more distinctly how the arrangement of the song and rythm seem to mix "No surprise" and "Karma Police". Discovering that the song is form 1997 doesn't surprise me at all in that sense
No surprises, eh
This only made it as a bonus track of In Rainbows as a re-done piano track, and just lost something from this. This version is haunting, and the song was made to be played like this on guitar, and a huge ending..
Well maybe it was written to be played on piano as well as guitar like the 2007 version
The In Rainbows one still has a guitar btw.
Something about the way they recorded/mixed it. It’s extremely dry and small sounding compared to this. Especially noticeable for the big ending.
@@MarionRelics I think the reverb in this version makes it sound so haunting and enormous. I think if Thom performed it on guitar in the smaller space without reverb it would sound more minimalistic.
Nah. Noting was lost. Both versions are perfect. It's just a shame a properly-recorded guitar version doesn't exist.
This is pure Thom. I Love his voice
That echo effect is haunting
I've never seen a man standing so purely infantile, so dramatically honest and, God, so helpless. Amazing performance.
I've never seen Thom as infantile
ive always seen Thom as fertile
What Dylo knows is that this is why we are fascinated. Thom is bringing everything from utero to the present like no one can.
These comments gives life and therefore fertile
what?
Still to this day (3/6/24) this song is amazing.
This is my favorite version of this song and I can't stop replaying it
This is beyond beautiful...
RIP to the people who had to wait 10 years to hear this again
What an amazing version.
Как здорово 😢 просто течет звук, отовсюду. Звук и чувство. Ритм. Смысл. Глубина.
his voice is so hauntingly beautiful here omg
These early Radiohead performances are incredibly special moments in time.
crazt that this was created so early.
And this is just the soundcheck..
Amazing performance.... hauntingly beautiful with that reverb. This song really resonates with me, like Thom is speaking to something I only wish I could convey half as poignantly as he does.
This made me cry.
I remember listening to In Rainbows disc 2 and falling asleep. I woke up to this song. I literally cried
Tune in next time on things that never happened
"I can't face the evening straight, you can offer me escape" never have any lyrics been truer to me in dark times
Y radiohead como siempre, sacando canciones que llevan más de 10 años escritas. Amé
One of my all time favourite Radiohead songs, why they didn't release it for 10 years I'll never know
My favorite Radiohead song. I didn't know it was so old. My first time hearing this version. Thank you for posting this!
I can't explain how beautiful this is...not in words
god's sound, melt me so clean, amaing performance.
Appliances have gone berserk
I cannot keep up
Treading on people's toes
Snot-nosed little punk
And I can't face the evening straight
You can offer me escape
Houses move and houses speak
If you take me there you'll get relief
Relief, relief, relief, relief...
And if I'm gonna talk
I just wanna talk
Please don't interrupt
Just sit back and listen
'Cause I can't face the evening straight
You can offer me escape
Houses move and houses speak
If you take me there you'll get relief
Relief, relief, relief, relief...
It's too much
Too bright
Too powerful
Too much
Too bright
Too powerful
Too much
Too bright
Too powerful
Too much
Too bright
Too powerful
Smh

Such a good recording, Thom keeps looking, wanting them to lower the sound and reverb on the mic, it sounds great, but I bet he was so pissed after.🥺
He's so pure
definitely the most impressive version
wow - beautiful!
And the key change at 2:50 - is what also brings this song to its glorious level
Wow. What a stunning gift
So beautiful
Thom is perfection. 💜
One of their best songs. One of the most beautifuL.
RIP Christopher von Loudermilk. I will never forget you and always remember your last flowers that I gave to you. 💔💐
I really enjoy the last 30 seconds of this, I really wish they kept it in the original.
Imagine that you listen to this masterpiece live, but you have to wait a decade to hear the studio version... Definitely the wait was worth
so haunting, esp if you heard this in 1997 not knowing it
For me, it's their greatest track.
Thanks for the uploading this clip!! Thom was great vocalist and sing a song writer!
is
His vocals are appalling now. Only on studio albums is his voice 'great', don't kid yourself lol
john lee no, don't kid yourself. Watch Moon Shaped Pool shows from last year and this year... or any performance of Bloom really.
jajaja or hahaha (depends on your coountry) i heard thom just a couple of days ago and he was still.
IS!!!!
Thank you for uploading...
I can't stop listening...
i always loved the sound of this acoustic guitar! deep sound.
Saw Radiohead in 1997 amazing band...
this song and go slowly exist since then damn
Pure Gold
Here’s the lyrics:
Appliances have gone berserk
I cannot keep up
Treading on people's toes
Snot-nosed little punk
And I can't face the evening straight
And you can't offer me escape
Houses move and houses speak
If you take me there you'll get relief
Believe, believe, believe, believe
And if I'm gonna talk
I just wanna talk
Please don't interrupt
Just sit back and listen
'Cause I can't face the evening straight
And you can't offer me escape
Houses move and houses speak
If you take me there you'll get relief
Believe, believe, believe, believe
It's too much
Too bright
Too powerful
Too much
Too bright
Too powerful
Too much
Too bright
Too powerful
Too much
Too bright
Too powerful
First time i appreciate low quality.. can’t be as good without
chills
THAT'S SO FUCKING BEAUTIFUL
Im still waiting for radiohead to play this song again
I love this song
I thought i knew what was a beautiful voice until i hear Thom Yorke’s one
god i love the outro so much
I wish a version on the guitar was released as well! Both versions are beautiful.
Holy shit
Wow, I had no idea this song was that old.
This is my favourite song. Clears everything on in rainbows. Call me crazy Im not ashamed
Awesome.
Amazing
"Too much, too bright, too powerful"
legend
Том ты молодец ! Моя молодость пришлась на время твоих лучших песен !
The guitar version will always have my heart
This sounds so ahead of it’s time.
I didn’t know that Last Flowers was written this early.
That guitar.
THOM YORKE IS PERFECT 🗣️‼️.
I hate how this was written long before release, and when it was released it only made it to the b sides :(
“...it’s cracking...”
This song was made for guitar
Ryan Smith yeah the piano version sounds much better
Un viaje hacia el centro de la noche...
1997?
Wow
That reporter was right when he told 16 year old Thom he sounded like Neil Young
pfff esa rola en vivo !!!!
"Wow, that song was really good. I bet they will release it in the next album"
brillante! impresionante versión!
Ethereal.
This song should be on amsp
holy shit a sound check?
Confessions Japanese movie brought me here . A Masterpiece both the movie and the song
I just wanna be thom’s last flower
