What's funny is from a musical standpoint there is nothing in the song very complex at all lol. But that's what incredible songwriters can do. Makes another musician hear it and think... "how the hell is that so simple and so beautiful" It reminds me of Roger Waters saying he considered throwing the lyrics to "Breathe" in the trash at first, but if you've got that gift you can take the most simple ideas and make something extraordinary out of it.
It's the dynamics and emotion. The build up and release is cathartic. It is missing from so much constructed music nowadays. This one and Blur's 'The Universal' are songs that always leave me feeling like I've been through something and I never get tired of them.
i love they made an update of the Conan cartoon in the intro. In the pilot, it was a nervous sweating Conan cartoon but this one here is a self-assured one because it now has been 3 years!
Dude same. This is exactly what I always say. Saw them three times in San Francisco during that period. The Fillmore The Warfield and Bill Graham Civic The Warfield concert was the best concert, the best anything I’ve ever seen. It was like they were levitating.
@@dahliafiend over the years I’ve loved all their stuff. But lately it’s been becoming more and more clear that there was just this ..... intangible quality to that period. I remember thinking “well.... they belong to the world now” when I saw them on the HTTT tour.

Tom Yorks vocal abilities were so underrated. If you google his voice type, most people will say he's a low or high "tenor", and therefore a lot of people assume because of this he can easily sing those high notes but I actually don't think that's true. I think he's actually a high maybe low baritone, like the majority of men, and it's his technique that allows him to naturally go higher, instead of belting and damaging his voice like he did in his early days. There's a reason why he sings so soft other than for effect. I think he's very skilled in mixing his chest and head voice and he uses this mix voice a lot to achieve notes he would otherwise have to belt/shout and risk damaging his voice. (Billy Eilish is someone modern day that does the same thing). He understands that he can't just "belt" high range notes all the time with his voice type because it likely won't sound good, and it may damage his voice in the long run. He sings so soft so he can make the connection between the head and chest voice and move around in all ranges, and not just necessarily to just sing high notes, but also to make a beautiful seamless transition between the low and high registers. You can see him attempt to relax his voice after the last verse and he actually fails to sound the note, I think because he used slightly too much compression in the last verse, he lost that fine control basically. You can look at his older performances and see the difference in vocal styles. Pablo Honey vocals weren't sustainable for his voice where as a lot of Ok Computer onwards were sustainable, you hear it in the songs, and I think it was because of this technique. He's underrated because this is a very difficult thing to achieve. It's truly something that not many people have the discipline master. Some people just sing naturally as a kid and instinctively know how to do this. Think someone like Adele. But people like Adele are susceptible to all kinds of problems later in life, simply because they don't actually understand how they "instinctively" sing. Someone like Tom Yorke likely wasn't a great singer and had to learn via a technical approach, probably with the help of a decent vocal coach. But it's possible he worked it out by himself because I did for myself. Took me years to realise lol. But I did so I'm sure other people can.
Dont know if you guys gives a shit but if you are stoned like me during the covid times you can watch all the new series on instaflixxer. Been watching with my gf recently xD
Yes truly a special time for music especially for all of us coming of age during that time. The best years of my life, I mean before the wife and kids of course. Lol
Thom makes these gravelly masculine tones and these high, lofty notes. This is another important song of theirs. Things tire people. People become tired.
Wow. They earned it, they earned every bit of their ensuing success..playing their hearts out, bringing us ART.. and on the Conan O Brien show. What a bizarre juxtaposition. This performance is a glittering jewel immersed within bland, facile telly blancmange. Incredible. I don't think we were worthy of you lads, but I'm very glad we got you.
Skann sure, and I haven’t seen any other act do that. It is jarring to hear them play the song live with sections cut out, like a masterpiece with the guts taken out
It’s funny watching a bunch of their old Tv performances, the pants started tight, then got really loose and boot cut-y, then tightened up again. Now they’re loose. Oh the song? Yea it’s good
lol I love that they are still trying a lil to look kinda cool, now they are like fuck it hobo it is, who gives a shit! haha something about getting older and understanding being cool does not exist.
the phoebe bridgers/arlo parks cover of this which is probably somewhere on the side bar if you look hard enough is nearly as good as this and in much better audio quality...it is well worth a look...if only for the genesis of the 'I'm...not phoebe's regular demographic....' meme, which always makes me smile
Mike moguls is barely present onstage. Not like Nate and Conor. He’s a great guy huh. Radiohead and Conor oberst are able to play their hearts out every night because no matter what they do the industry will sell them well. So they have a duty in their hearts which creates a gratitude. A grateful performance. Where Conor overstep pretends to be drunk and fall down several times and leave the show and wear black and white every dam time. They can do whatever they want, so they play almost as truly as I do.
OMG.. THANK YOU! I've given this band SO many chances because of the way SO many people talk like they're the greatest band on Earth. Just listen for a minute without looking...You'll wanna call the suicide hotline. I know...To each his own... but, again....THANK YOU for saying it! It's one slow, depressing sound track played by some guys who got a guitar & 3 free lessons for Christmas & are ready to quit & go back on heroin. OK, I'll leave now. Enjoy, All!
I love this version, it's slower and softer but had a bigger impact once the crescendo hit.
I love this shot at 3:27 where the three of them are attacking their guitars in sync
Fake Plastic Tree is a master piece... There is something in this song that is so complex

If you want complex Radiohead songs go listen to Kid A and Amnesiac
I don’t need nothing complex, just need good songs and this is a good one!

same height as well...them celts must've been scary mo'fos running down them hills vs the ...I'm gonna say Jacobians?
Does this mean Thom and Phillip are brothers?
Rockets twin towers
Great performance! I love how Jonny Greenwood still plays the same telecaster after all these years.
It isn't broken?
Johnny is fucking that guitar so hard
Jonny the mad scientist playing six instruments
i love they made an update of the Conan cartoon in the intro. In the pilot, it was a nervous sweating Conan cartoon but this one here is a self-assured one because it now has been 3 years!
Conan is the best talkshow host of all time
Thom comes out looking like Johnny Rotten but singin like Jeff Buckley
Funny thing is that they finished this song after they went to a Jeff Buckley concert.
This is raw emotion
Seeing them on tour for the bends, then OKC, then Kid A.... they’re still a great band, but live, that 1995-2001 period was like .... watching magic.

This is just the 90s to me in one song. What a great time for music. Like unbelievably brilliant. So glad these were my teenage years.
That Astro Boy sticker on the guitar is legendary. Rocking that Japanese media in 1995, Thom is a fucking legend.
Pfft.
he was wearing astro boy shirts in the early 90s too

Love the small smile on Thom's face at the end. He knows they just did something special

@@schwany6703 Of course! my pleasure
This is true. Thom said he originally wanted to only be a guitarist back then but since he had no one else to sing his songs he practiced singing.
Thom is just effortlessly killing those notes
Beautiful performance!!!
thom's smile in the end of the video tho.
the fact that this is one of conan’s favorite songs ever makes me love him even more
They're wearing the same clothes that they wear in "Just" video😂😂😂

@@williejensen6799 Haha, girlfriend.
And actually, the "Just" vídeo hadnt came out till august
@@williejensen6799 What is that?
Proof that rock n roll always has a home for outcasts and weirdos. Thom is living proof.
full of emotion
and all that time i thought that glastonberry 2003 version was the best
Pinkpop 1996 for me
But this version is shortened for TV purposes...I think that automatically disqualifies it lol
@@imgitai along with the "if i could be..." part too ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Best one was actually Japan ‘95 for me.
It's funny seeing Thom next to Conan. And Ed O'Brien and Conan O'Brien are about the same height.
Well, thom is fcking only 166 cm. Just above the average height of a human being.
I KNOW! conan is 6'4", but i had no idea that espeically johnny is tall
What a great song, loved it since I first heard it absolutely beautiful song ✌️💙
super beautiful - great performance
This song is beyond incredible.
This version can make you cry
One of my favorite songs ever. Entourage did this song justice for a drop
i fffffffffffffing love radiohead
Hauntingly beautiful
And that he is actually playing most of the crazy stuff you thought Johnny was.
One of our favorites''💓
God, I miss the 90's.

Stunning. Achingly and hauntingly resonating.
the song is a masterpiece
Gets me every time I hear it
やっぱり好きだわ❤
Man, that Conan intro brings me back
I wish that we could listen to this in the original sound quality.
Great era for human kind.. the 90s
It really was. I’m still trying to figure out what happened since then.
The Bends=great record
Effing spectacular
The best part of live videos of this song is watching Jonny beat the living shit out his guitar during the climax.
Lagu ini mingingat kan saya di waktu muda...
Thank's vedio

Did they just film Just before this Thom I think is wearing pretty much the same clothes
No, they used to like dressing up for shows like this with the clothes from the videos lol

can you hear Thom's emotion when "but i can't help the feeling" part?
thx pzy!
Such perfect
lol I was 2 days old when this aired
I was like minus 7. Get out of here, haha
@@nikolaj_ow I was minus 8 😳😳
Damn, took me another 3 days after this to be born.
I was 26..
i was -12 😳😳😳
Also no matter what I always get the bassist from Placebo thing with Radiohead, "god damn that guy is tall!"
🖤🖤🖤👏👏👏👏
the intro is so cute
Who's the tallest O'Brien in the building?
you ever notice how for a while, Thom Yorke appeared to only barely age and then he eventually just... did?
Same thing happened with Thurston Moore, who was 25 for 40 years.
Could you please upload the full version of this

This reminds me of Atoms For Peace on Jon Stewart in 2013 cause of how they shortened the song. So strange that they’d go ahead & do that.
I don't think they had much of a choice
