Recorded live at CANAL+ Studios, Paris, France on 28th April 2001. Produced by CANAL+ / S. Saunier KID A MNESIA is out now: radiohead.ffm.to/kid-a-mnesia
@@GJ-ol5ev like being at the beach before a huge storm ,the waves are stronger and the clouds turned dark gray but you can't help but feel tranquility of nature
Was thinking that listening the other day, Halloween night in gran canaria, the ghouls passing by, the beauty of this song, so joyfully depressing , so like life itself
I was 20 when this came out. I'd become a fan from The Bends as my brother and I watched MTV in the 90s. I was shocked at first listen, but listened to it hundreds of times the month after it came out. This song is still my number 1. Radiohead fans have been invited on a long journey and we have discovered more than the average music listener, more than any of us expected.
@@munkymunk Pretty similar to me there dude. I first started listening to them from the Bends. They were pretty much one band up until Kid A and then a totally different band after Kid A, I wasn't sure if I'd like them anymore. Now I'm like thank god they did what they did.
It's like reading a book over different times and years. You always get something new out of it and it still brings tears to my eyes, every time. There is so much sadness, love, passion and beauty in that song. It will forever stay one of my favourites. ❤️
I’ve swam with dark Angels and they couldn’t handle me so I danced with the Devil instead great times listening to these rhymes no reason but my unconditional treason and the realisation of a overcooked overlooked dead global nation!!!!!! YOUR WELCOME
I believe this song is in 4/4, it just sounds like an odd meter because it’s syncopated. Despite playing drums for 10 years I could never get this one down as much as I tried to play along.
philip is one of the most umderrated drummers out there. his ability to keep time with complicated patterns and like you mentioned his tasteful drumming is so good
I've listened to this song over a million times, but there's something specific about this live version that gives me CRAZY musical frission! I'm always entranced by this version! :D
Listening to this on repeat, it would play a million times in 9.3796739929525692701599614672852 years. So, that statement is theoretically possible, though practically not.
I remember hearing/watching this song on mtv the night before I left for the army at 17 years old. Seemed to sum up exactly how I felt, hear i am 20 years later and it still does even though I'm a different person now.
There's something so ethereal and yet suffocating about this song... like drowning in the river, crossing the Styx, and being dragged by your feet by angels... Nothing to fear, nothing to doubt...
I simply can't understand how it is possible to play this piece. This is of an outsatnding complexity, resulting in something like a totally new idea of truth and harmony!
If you know how complex the song is, it's fascinating to watch them focus on playing it right. Kinda like watching them play Videotape with the actual rhythm of the song hidden until it's nearly over.
One of the best songs ever in music history! Whenever I hear this song, I question my existence as a Human...and sometimes I feel prepared to leave for another dimension in peace.
Sending this song out to the other side, RIP Jay. I know you and I would've woken up to this song together this morning, so happy to live the day, so excited for our future. Until I see you on the other side my love, I'll play this on repeat. 🧡🧡🧡
One of my favorite songs by them, but hearing it live is absolutely magistral. I don't even have more words to describe it... And today, Happy Birthday Jonny! :)
This is the song that got me into Radiohead, and what a lucky thing it was when I dove into their discography, these men and their musical talents far and above transcend the norm and consistently put out beautiful, resonant work and I hope they continue to do so for years to come
Only Radiohead can take me to places I've never known existed or even attempted to dream about, filling in the missing pieces of my journey in this world.
I started playing this video thinking, yeah, I've seen Pyramid Song live plenty of times, sure... and then about half way though it just hit me how freaking incredible this performance is. Timeless.
Radiohead has been my favorite band since I was 15.. jump 20 years later.. and now they're the inspiration to my life. Thank you guys for all your beautiful work
after listening to them for 25 years, I think I can finally say this is my favorite Radiohead song.... Usually, I think they're brilliant but they can creep me out so i have to be in a certain type of headspace, but this just *transports* me to somewhere mystic and comforting
Notification from Radiohead! Here asap.. Absolutely perfect, sublime version , I love the feel of Pyramid song so much 💕 Thom has caught the collective consciousness with all his lyrics like nobody else can. 💜🐱♏🏴🌌
This is the most deconstructed and analysed song on YT for a reason, it’s complexity and composition never cease to amaze me 🤔 so sad yet uplifting, the syncopation is harmonious and simple 👍 this is the only band on this planet capable of writing something as epic and beautiful 😉 long live Radiohead
@@JanoDo A metaphor for what? It's a meaningless phrase like "that cold water was very three-hundred-and-12, also tree". It's the kind of pretentious waffle that people who don't understand music say.
i once on the island ios in greek passed out so bad nearly dying from alcohol. i woke up from a cat laying on my belly. then a voice in my head told me to not fear, everything will be good and you never should fear and all is safe in life. this song gave me that feeling again. i truly think god spoke to me.
This entire performance is just perfection 👌🏽 EDIT: Glad to see that my first ever comment to get this many likes is on a Radiohead song. Good to know there are many beautiful souls in this world. Stay safe everyone ❤️
Nice to see this officially posted, if you owned the Collectors Edition of Amnesiac from 2001 this was on Disc 2 along with the best version of Spinning Plates (I hope thats coming next) ** This version is already on UA-cam, would be great to see video footage but it seems like that didn't happen only recorded audio.
@@Eduardocard100 I was making a edit to my comment, the version of Like Spinning Plates I mentioned is the Live version like this song and it's on UA-cam just search the title with live at the end and it's on the official channel.
The most inexplicably beautiful and eerily spellbinding song I’ve ever heard. It speaks to something deep inside me that is ethereal and beyond explanation. From the moment I first heard it…..
On top of the very open and odd swing groove/feel are similarly open and profound lyrics, Radiohead. Beautiful yet haunting, something and everything. My favourite ensemble of all others. Music made from the hearts of people with good intentions.
The most hauntingly comforting song in existence
So you’re haunted by how comforting this song is(?)

@@thenotoriousewenmcgregor3797 Really good words.
Was thinking that listening the other day, Halloween night in gran canaria, the ghouls passing by, the beauty of this song, so joyfully depressing , so like life itself
@@riz9885 agreed
People in 2001: wtf? This sounds nothing like Radiohead.
People in 2021: this is incredible, this is why we love Radiohead
"Are you guys going to release creep 2 or what?"
We were well prepped after Kid A tbf

So funny how that works. Probably in my top 3 Radiohead songs ever too.
This is one of the best songs ever written. Hauntingly beautiful.
So you're saying that you're haunted by how beautiful the song is?.. You don't mean 'beautiful in a haunted way' for instance?
@@GJ-ol5ev Haha I saw you've said the same in another comment. I mean it's a beautiful song as well as haunting in terms of its melody and vibe.
@@tzian7051 Yeah fair, I totally agree with that,
Well put and wholeheartedly agree 👌🏼
so true
This song will never cease to amaze me.
It's like you jump into the river yourself when you listen to it
Your music has changed and even saved many people’s lives.
As someone who was suicidal many years ago, I can confirm that Radiohead helped me move past that phase of my life.
Probably caused suicides too. 😅
@@damienx0x as bad as it sounds, you're probably right.

amen
Perfectly stated.
indeed, the songs never get old
I’ve swam with dark Angels and they couldn’t handle me so I danced with the Devil instead great times listening to these rhymes no reason but my unconditional treason and the realisation of a overcooked overlooked dead global nation!!!!!!
YOUR WELCOME
Yep. Tears, every time.
“There was nothing to fear, nothing to doubt”.
I’ve always found these lyrics touching and profound. I don’t know why.
Same here
Because they are
It's what happens when we're present.
Because you’re not like other teenagers.
It’s because he’s obviously lying to himself
I can’t praise Selway’s drumming on this enough.... absolutely perfect 👌
I wish they cut to him when he comes in with that subtle jazzy fill...perfection
I believe this song is in 4/4, it just sounds like an odd meter because it’s syncopated. Despite playing drums for 10 years I could never get this one down as much as I tried to play along.
@@BearFattfilm the swang feel is absolutly insane
@@BearFattfilmskill issue
Indeed one of the best songs ever written ❤
Love Phil’s drumming in this tune, so tasteful never overplays but gives it such a nice push/pull loose but groovy vibe, very very cool
who?
Pulk/Pull loose but groovy vibe
@@kps2420 philip selway is the drummer for radiohead
philip is one of the most umderrated drummers out there. his ability to keep time with complicated patterns and like you mentioned his tasteful drumming is so good
@@conorkmartshoppingexperien2739 lol it's an old radiohead joke that the other members don't know who phil is

It's the ondes martenot
I was there. Best moment of my life. ❤️
Even watching RH's videos are some best moments of my life🙂
How loud were the onde martenots?

we doesnt really change
There's something so ethereal and yet suffocating about this song... like drowning in the river, crossing the Styx, and being dragged by your feet by angels... Nothing to fear, nothing to doubt...
I usually hate people putting descriptions of songs youtube but I´d say you nailed it.
Saw them once and when this song started me and my mate looked at each other, eyes wide open, I was so overwhelmed I just started crying
It’s amazing live isnt it? It always brought tears to my eyes. They are on another level
Every. Time.
Same happened to me, but with How To Disappear. From the first chord I was crying
I'm welling up typing this! Not the first time, it's that moving.
its weird how things happen out of nowhere and then the other second something glamorous happens
And we all went to heaven in a little row boat - beautiful
I can't belive that this is live. So clean...
The presentation was in 2001, but it seems to have happened the day before yesterday. Radiohead spanning the decades. ABRAÇOS DO BRASIL.
Outro brasileiro.
I simply can't understand how it is possible to play this piece.
This is of an outsatnding complexity, resulting in something like a totally new idea of truth and harmony!

Timeless. This song help me get through a tuff time in 06. Still gives me goosebumps in 21. Thank you radiohead

Pyramid song and how to dissappear completely are my favourite radiohead songs.. So beautiful.....
this is something inevitable. like a heartbeat
What a beatiful song.
i don't know many bands that sound live as good as they do on the album,greetings from germany
A truly haunting, beautiful and spectacular song.
This song is just pure bliss from start to finish, absolute masterpiece 😍
Jesus this was an absolutely perfect performance, incredible job
Happy birthday, Jonny!
The gorgeous Radiohead track 'Pyramid Song' showed up on the episode of the Peaky Blinders
Complexity in a simple way. Stunning to me !
this is a beautiful song.
and i mean that, i've been addicted to this song.
always happy to see a new upload from you guys !
cheers from a french guy listening that amazing sound from Nigeria
Man this song is just a masterpiece. Such atmosphere!

My favorite song after How to Disappear Completely 💛
Great choice
Como para ir y regresar del Limbo.

I’ll never forget the first time I heard this song live, 6/7/06 in Toronto. Amazing
Radiohead has been my favorite band since I was 15.. jump 20 years later.. and now they're the inspiration to my life. Thank you guys for all your beautiful work
One of my favorite Radiohead songs. Waited so long for an official live version. ❤️
Unique song. This version is magnificent. ✨

One of my all time favourites. It grasps at my heart and tugs on my heartstrings ❤️
This song got me through many dark days and I've healed so much pain with it.

Thom has caught the collective consciousness with all his lyrics like nobody else can. 💜🐱♏🏴🌌
It’s rare for a performance to move me to tears, but this did it with ease.
A Nice way to start the day!
This is probably my favorite Radiohead song of all time. One of their best.
This is the most deconstructed and analysed song on YT for a reason, it’s complexity and composition never cease to amaze me 🤔 so sad yet uplifting, the syncopation is harmonious and simple 👍 this is the only band on this planet capable of writing something as epic and beautiful 😉 long live Radiohead
"the syncopation is harmonious" doesn't make musical sense..
@@GJ-ol5ev it's a very nice metaphor tho
@@JanoDo A metaphor for what? It's a meaningless phrase like "that cold water was very three-hundred-and-12, also tree". It's the kind of pretentious waffle that people who don't understand music say.
I'm a huge fan try kill em all for complexity
@@GJ-ol5ev WTF are you talking about?
So hauntingly beautiful. Timeless. ...
I remember watching it, I forgot about everything for a few moments and left my body - I was so stunned by its brlliance.
i like how Thom plays instruments and sings simultaneously
i once on the island ios in greek passed out so bad nearly dying from alcohol. i woke up from a cat laying on my belly. then a voice in my head told me to not fear, everything will be good and you never should fear and all is safe in life. this song gave me that feeling again. i truly think god spoke to me.
Que bello despertar!!!!🥰🎤🎵🎹TY😍....Feliz cumpleaños Jonny🥳
One of the best concerts ever. simply magnificent🐱
One word to Radiohead...Thanks!
20 años y esta canción aun me teletransporta a otra dimisión
This entire performance is just perfection 👌🏽
EDIT: Glad to see that my first ever comment to get this many likes is on a Radiohead song. Good to know there are many beautiful souls in this world. Stay safe everyone ❤️
Agreed!
Couldn't agree more
Only the people who like your comments have beautiful souls.
This is the best live version and instruments for the Pyramid Song
My soul reciprocates with it every single time
I jumped in the river and what did I see?
Black-eyed angels swam with me.
- A Posthumous Note.
Wonderfully moving.
Radiohead я вас обожаю! Вы вдохновили меня в юности и продолжаете вдохновлять до сих пор. Спасибо.
Шляпа

Nice to see this officially posted, if you owned the Collectors Edition of Amnesiac from 2001 this was on Disc 2 along with the best version of Spinning Plates (I hope thats coming next)

what this version ??

Un poco de aire, en la jungla humana de mi pueblo patagónico. Amo a Radiohead!
so moving - incredible performance.
So cool this song like you are on another planet when you hear it 🤙
The construction of which is impeccable.
Man that atmosphere at the end is just gorgeous and heartbreaking
Beautiful. Thank you ❤

Theres nothing to fear and nothing to doubt
Sublime. Perfection. Painfully beautiful. And who the f… is chopping onions??
Listening to a lot of Radiohead again post-pandemic is… very strange and very deep.
Holy shit upload the whole show please!!
Happy birthday, Jonny! Weird birthday song rendition, but hey... That's thinking outside the pyramid.
28th April 2001, literaly on my birthday, thank you Radiohead for this, I love you
Como los amo. Gracias por ir largando todo esto!!
