Gnarls Barkley 2008 Lollapalooza "Reckoner" Cover

[binder673]

I was at this!! great concert....and Radiohead performed it as well the first night :D

[HighRoad001]

Does this guy have a speech impediment?

[TrevaDar]

@zh0ck yes

[zh0ck]

Radiohead is my favorite band, And this is my favorite song of theirs. Does that make this song the best song of all time?

[djkozmik]

Danger Mouse looked like he was beating his meat around :58

[QOTSARadio]

I adore the radiohead version.

I love this version. But still, from radiohead version i can't get enogh. After listening this 5 times, his voice (which is incredible) starts getting boring. Not enough variation.

peace :)

[museerawsomm12071]

this man has a beautiful voice and does this song sooooo well

[Amnesiac18]

qué cover tan HORRIBLEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[beads20]

Goddamn he can sing.

[nyyankee488]

im going to go out on a limb here and say hes not very good with his hands.

[kelbel1724]

So sick it's ridiculous. They NAILED this. Best 'Head cover I have ever heard. And Mark Ronson's band then tore through an instrumental of "Just" about an hour after this. Everyone knows that Thom and Co. are the big dogs. Long live the Head!

[kamilzm]

I was definitely at this lollapalooza and I remember this cover pretty vividly. if Johnny Greenwood was on the piano then he was not introduced at any point in time...

I really wish there was an HD recording... This was an incredible performance that really had me rethink Gnarls. When celo started singing reckoner there was an eerie silence while it set in how good he was doing. Not many people can claim to do covers of Radiohead well and this one was an excellent finale to the festival.

[chibes682]

i dont believe thats jonny greenwood playing the keys i think its josh klinghoffer whoes now playing guitar for the chili peppers

[minorwinor]

Great cover but Is it just me or does he look like a beluga Whale?

[pukeyourguts]

is that jonny greenwood on the piano?

[GrimeyLimey]

@pukeyourguts

Just a guess but err.... no

[mynameisjongreen]

@pukeyourguts I believe that's Josh Klinghoffer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers

[tataoine]

What an unexpected cover.

[wotret]

2:21 - what is Dangerous Mouse doing?

[SeanSeanSeanCanada]

tambourine, i know it makes no sense haha

[chelios3]

@wotret dangerous mouse, haha

[jedionwax]

gettin' down on the tambourine! I mean there's only so many moves you can pull on-stage with one.

[imascab]

That was AWESOME!

[CleaningTool]

Man, Dangermouse is getting hella into that tamborine of his.

[zofra13]

yeah haha LoL

[binder673]

haha I was at this.... so awesome being able to see this after seeing radiohead the night before =)

[Simpsonito18]

someone has to tell this guy to stop. I have nothing against him but Reckoner is too much of a song for him (too much, too bright, too powerful, haha).

[adamgravelle]

I love radiohead but cee-lo has an incredibly powerful voice. I can't really think of another band i'd want to hear cover Reckoner

[nyboy010101]

your an idiot. purely.

[beefbeef2]

there is a reply button.

[Griffard92]

This is one of my favorite live song performances that I've seen. Maybe the best!

[clauncher]

Some sweet dance moves ahaha.

[johnmorisi8]

wow that was pretty good, wasnt expecting that.

[jimfredmaxken]

Also. I am a massive ponce.

[parrecords]

what exactly is Dangermouse doing here?

[blasterman9]

he's shakin the lime :O

[esperasoesperas123]

enjoyin! that's what he's doing

[nocodebinaural]

nearly as good as the nickelback version

[Zantris]

what version?

[nocodebinaural]

hahaha I'm kidding I meant the cover Creed di of it...............Im still kidding! lol

[maduraelknockout]

got me on that ¬¬

[oldskoolchomp]

nickelback is gay. don't ever mention them again.

[elvisismycat]

its great to see how well appreciated "reckoner" is. best song off IN RAINBOWS with ease.

[maduraelknockout]

i like "nude" better, but just and opinnion :P

[jimfredmaxken]

well of course you are factually incorrect. Reckoner is far superior.

[sheeplover123]

@elvisismycat

Don't get me wrong, but in my opinion, Videotape is by FAR the best song from In Rainbows, All I Need comes next THEN Reckoner. They are all amazing though to be fair, just that Videotape is more amazing than Reckoner.

[Hozal1]

@sheeplover123 I agree but let's say In Rainbows is an amazing album =P

[primarkopolop]

@elvisismycat without doubt mate, this first, then weird fishes, then all i need :D

[ericmcq3121]

@elvisismycat

agree to disagree. Album's loaded. I'd go Weird Fishes Arpeggi or Nude but that's just me.

[mEds312]

@elvisismycat

the whole album is beautiful! but reckoner n jigsaw falling into place are extra great for sure!

[syednayeem1]

@elvisismycat :powerful voice but wer is the emotions and soul ? no one can come closer to thom's voice thums up if u agree

[hohboy]

@syednayeem1 no. shut up with this thumbs up crap.

[Activsoul]

For a video camera at a concert, that's some great audio!

[DemonTaoist]

It's pretty awesome that he can sing it in the original key at full voice, but it's not a full voice kind of song so the musicality and sentiment sounds off.

[orlyyarlynowai]

That's just because we're too used to the way Thom sings it. Remember when he used his full voice on songs?

[narkoleptik]

I am proud to be a Radiohead Fan Boy! =)

[putasensura]

wonderful

=]

[thegiantpea]

hmm

this would be cool to see

but everytime he starts singing

my heart hurts.

in a baad way.

yeah i can't say i like this at all.

[Blackmace]

why does your heart hurt? do you mean literally or figuratively to describe your emotions?

[JahWorks420]

imho c-lo's immense voice makes the cover version more powerful than the original

[ezechiel3w]

I strongly feel York's weak voice is what make his version more powerful. Volume isn't everything.

Anyway this is a great cover.

[robertoremelli]

I feel the same!

[jgonsalk]

Total agreement. I much prefer the original but it's a great cover. Thom Yorke brings a vulnerability that makes me prefer it. Great to see that Gnarls Barkely is a Radiohead fan!

[Vorhias]

Wow. I never realized just what a mighty set of pipes Cee-Lo has until he covered this song.

Awesome.

[mantishandz]

Are you kidding man? Have you heard "Crazy?"

[sfcoco1]

watch "max kd drive"

[CoNFuS89]

lol would have been killer.....like the gnarls song

[hamdigidy]

man i only caught the first few songs of this set cause i wanted to see girl talk, this would have been killer to see.

[binder673]

hah same I remember hearing this from girl talk and was bummed i didn't get to see him

[tomsega]

He should really start softly and get louder towards the end, like Radiohead tend to do. It'd be so much more emotive.

[Blackmace]

but then it wouldn't be a cover, it'd just be some guy trying hard to be Radiohead.

[therollinstonr]

i was there. dope seeing both versions live in one weekend.

[racso452]

Yeah I'm jealous. I missed Gnarls, but Radiohead was amazing. Both in one weekend sounds sweet.

[jasongold11]

that was pretty sweet, im not really a fan of gnarls but that was a great cover of a hard band to cover

[ohemgeethatisjokes]

I love radiohead and gnarles, and I must say this is a pretty good cover, I like how his voice sounds with the song.

So stop hating on the man, he seems to be a fan of radiohead and thats all that matters.

I'm gonna do a cover to this for my school's variety show...

cause reckoner is one of my faves from In rainbows ^__^

[AlfredoNader]

I can stop thinking how the album "In Rainbows" has become so influential! It's like the new "Sgt.Peppers.." .

[lookylad]

to anyone that has an opinion but has yet to see radiohead preform this live..... you don't know shit, go watch them to it and then write that this is a good cover. cause you won't. better than you and i could do but whatever still doesn't mean that he does the song justice. maybe if he knew the fucking words it would be better....

[putasensura]

u r a radiohead fanboy

[jamescartwright06]

awfull cover....

[ee12212]

excelent cover... almost beat the original

[Sprinkles12345]

not at all

[ee12212]

excelent!!!

[megey]

i like gnarls barkley's cover of this song but its still not beating the origional of radiohead !!!

[strychnine133]

I got to see all of Gnarls, and I got up close to NIN.

I win.

And this was one of the highlights of lolla. It was just greatness.

[jackalman66]

I was waiting in line for the bathroom near the stage when I heard this and it's still one of the most memorable songs, for me, from that weekend. So much soul and what a voice!

[Lelg8a]

awesome!

[hamdigidy]

wish i got to see this but was far to busy grooving to girl talk.

[RadAlly]

I was over on the other end of the park and heard this playing and was blown away!!!

[kbranum007]

hell yeah!!!! i give this 5 stars!!! i like many others had started making my way to NIN..

i have a video of radiohead that i'll be uploading soon :) of reckoner

[amclean89]

This song was incredible. They nailed it

[TheFrontman55]

UGH I left like 15 minutes before his set was over to get up close for NIN...... so i probably missed this song by like 5 minutes this is bone chillingly good

[emikolai]

me too...i ended up hearing it...b/c i think they turned the speakers up...right when i got passed girl power....i was pissed bc i thought they might do it

[janieloo21]

i love ceelo's little dance...this was such a beautiful moment.

[fraklinthedog]

that was so epic. when i heard this start i was FREAKING out. and radiohead's set... undescribable

[Koopgeminikiller]

one of the most memoriable songs played at lolla 08'. Shot out to the bodyguard blunt snatcher who helped make it even more memoriable.
