Street Spirit (acoustic)

[quark4567]

pretty good cover radiohead would like this

[INickV7]

@quark4567 lmao Radiohead? As in Thom Yorkes band? As in the guy performings band?

[stashadog]

no volume? what happened?



[cheesedcake]

@laker2834 shutup you tosser.

[FALJR58]

5 people have no spirit

[mitchki]

Thom is actually probably one of the most underrated guitarists around. I can pull this off on a 6 string, but I can't keep it up on a 12 for the full song. It's just... goddamn.

And every time he sings it's like heaven...

[666neptuno]

@mitchki i totally agree with you. sounds like heaven... :)

[vivadimebagdarrell]

I had an orgasm when i saw the title of the song... you didn't want to hear the damn noise i did when i listen it

[mcnultyfrank]

@vivadimebagdarrell Sorry what?

[vivadimebagdarrell]

@mcnultyfrank I don't know, i'm mexican and my english is bad as hell :D

[mcnultyfrank]

@vivadimebagdarrell Fair enough buddy. It must be really annoying having to write all your comments in english and watch videos that are only in english :D

[vivadimebagdarrell]

@mcnultyfrank Well, I can not complain because i prefer english songs instead spanish songs, but thanks for carring dude haha

[georgegurr]

you dont pluck individual strings you pluck two at once like playing a six string with a bigger sound

[nilpointdotcom]

looks like he is miming... kidding!

[iamthebyron]

DAMN.

That is all.

[mrpicky510]

Goddammit, while I'm virtually at a loss for words due in large part to my current emotional state following the viewing of this performance, I can't help but at least chime in on what an insane talent Mr. Yorke is, if I were a song writer, this is what I would aim to be.

[CamsLiveVideo]

he's a machine! haha

[airpay1]

the people outside on the other side of the glass are completly unaware of what is happening inside, they missed out one of the best perfomances ever by a piece of glass. i would f*****g go insane.

[sunburn04]

this is the meaning of MUSIC

[SlimBertus]

Perfect, just perfect



[djang99]

uuuhhhhhhh!!!!

[djang99]

This is Mr. Yorke, Ladys and Gentlemen

[JohnnyCagePro]

i hate when the audio is out of sync

[richardjebaby]

all the credit justin bieber and those crappy musical fails get should go to him

everyone i know i redirect to radiohead at first they are like nahh they look like morons, then they listen and they see they are not only good musicians they're gods.

[soothsayer1985]

brilliant

[sahsahsah]

awesome band...

if u like Radiohead, u might wanna try : Watermind - "Not Again"

P.S: Thom Yorke is a freakin´genius!!!

[docholiday13]

OMG.. SYNC THIS PLEASE!!!! BEST PERFORMANCE EVR

[PopIsDead1990]

I want that guitar! Alvarez Yairi 12 string!!! they don't make those anymore!

[poetikagirl]

R(luv)A(liked)dioHead (~wow)

[respectsince86]

Where and when was this anybody?

[schwilly75]

nice timing slowboke

[carnesaur]

Jesus look how young he looks. no facial hair.

[papidragonss]

just......absolute imagine

[crunchies987]

its not that hard

[confuseTHEmasses]

nice. check out my cover of this song. if you would like. His voice is very different from mine though. He must be a small in body size because it seems small guys have high voices.

[Gigsixstrings]

...

[LadyLemonchy]

amazing!!

[fadu]

My favorite song (:

[gades90]

Looks like Musique Plus studio at Montreal. Can anyone confirm ?

[mogwai142]

It is

[copeyattamsworth]

A very natural talent on display here, with no pre-musical training under his belt. In fact Johnny is the only one in the band to boast such merit.

[Cricriiii]

@copeyattamsworth no premusical training? he started guitar at 7.

[marcriganoskate]

@copeyattamsworth what planet are you on with that word choice? Jonny "boasts" of "such merit"? haha, are you being as accurate as you can with what you wanna express?

[copeyattamsworth]

Sorry Marc.... USAeatshitfaggdeucebag. Is that easier for you to understand?

[marcriganoskate]

@copeyattamsworth wow, you're very clever...

[Gigsixstring]

enough...

[docholiday13]

It's not synched but it's still amazing. His vocals in this are the best ever! REALLY

[FancyFunkFool]

@docholiday13

there used to be a synced version, not one day ago... :(

[RichRobinson]

WOW!

[eyangaji]

god bless u......

[charlesgray522]

amazing :)

love how young he looks. looks like a sex pistol or something then he comes with that amazing, B-E-A-U-tiful song

[ash2060]

WOW!! I've got goosebumps hearing this performance. This song sounds even better being played live. Best song ever.

[eazzy93]

Yes, this is a very strong song. To be honest, this is definitely one of the 5 more touching songs I´ve heard. It gives me such a feeling of... unimportance. Like Life has it´s death circle, and I don´t have the power to stop it. Just disappear with it..." Fade Out Again" . This songs transmit an ideia of humanity. One time even made me cry.

[richyg1991]

i love the sync in this vid makes me laff hehe

[WGrants]

Song that puts u in a specific original climat

[BOLTAMANIA]

fuckin great 7 outa 5 stars

[123456789159487263]

"a remarkable small man, very thin and pale, with a profusion of fine, fair hair of which he was rather vain" Michael King

[ricflair1]

is this guy ever happy?

[AVShoreBrothers]

He seems pretty in the Jools Holland clip of 15 step P:

[invincable123]

the best ive seen...

[zerochance01]

to say that this man is a GOD is an understatment.

[Shiyuru999]

OMG How Good Can Someone Be?!! He's So Amazing & Talented. His Voice Are So Beautiful <3

[mogwai142]

Musique Plus? :P

[MultiLynnie]

<3 Oh my goodness

[MrJoeCage]

this is really a beautiful tune and he plays in beautifully.

[Kewkyness]

I actually kinda like this one being out of sync. It reminds me of the music video for street spirit ;)

[laker2834]

i just realized he's plucking every god damn note on a 12 string... do u know how f******g hard that is? and singing at the same time.. amazing.

[theleo2004]

If a talentless fuck like me can play this song on a 12-string perfectly while singing, than why can't Thom fucking Yorke play this perfectly when he's already been playing the guitar for over a decade in this video?

It's the song and his singing that makes this an amazing performance.

[guccilittlepiggy1]

true!!!!!! ooops im not saying your a talentless fuck though dude!!!!!!

[eazzy93]

True mate.

[FusionShredz]

oi dont be to hard on ur self :P but good point haha

[BloggerMusicMan]

@laker2834

That's not that hard actually, but writing a song this beautiful is.

[raven010891]

@laker2834 I've just noticed that's a 12...amazing..

[farizzal]

@laker2834 its not hard, its exactly like playing a 6 string

[moran68]

@laker2834 no he's not! calm down

[knicklebucker]

@laker2834 yeah its hard as fuck alright! i can play it with my fingers its not even a tough progression just taxing to keep it up. cant sing at the same time tho.

[evildude400]

@laker2834 did you realize the video dosent correspond to the song? or atleast is outsync

[MadAboutGoo]

@laker2834 Hes not plucking hes strumming! fuookin amazin tho!

[airpay1]

@laker2834 he's not plucking he's strumming, and if you pay close atention you'll see that he's strumming up and down without missing a chord on a 12 string. the first time i saw this i was blown away by it and it still doesn't cease to amaze me.

[CardyTheCactus]

@laker2834 If you think thats hard try playing Paranoid android on an acoustic 12 string! :L

[KimCheeHuu]

@laker2834 shit...wanted to learn how to play this but i guess it ain't happening now lol

[RonaldinhoReborn]

@KimCheeHuu You can play much easier on a reg 6 string. I learnt it in like a week, and i barely play the guitar anymore.

[KimCheeHuu]

@RonaldinhoReborn could you direct me to any great vid's or website's that can teach me how to play this? that would be awesome! currently i'm trying to learn how to play "true love waits"

[RonaldinhoReborn]

@KimCheeHuu Just type in "How to play street spirit" or "Learn to play...." etc in youtube. That or just get a tab. They're everywhere.

[speakercoilmusic]

@laker2834 Yes I do realize how hard that is, because I cover this song and it's hard enough on a f*cking six string. I just did a studio cover of this and I did 4 guitar parts... Only one uses a pick because it's so f'ing hard... The rest I finger picked because it's WAY easier to finger pick the song. What's really nuts is he doesn't have any mistakes with the 12... Not blips or buzz... If you are interested check out my cover... Always love feedback.

[dareinsanity]

this could be one of the most amazing things ive ever seen

[crumblerush93]

LOVE this song

[crumblerush93]

immerse your soul in love

[Aerina83]

this song is probably my favourite one ever...it is almost bursting with emotions!...I'd love to hear it in Poznań in August...

[431972]

He puts so much emotion into his music....complete perfection..nobody comes close and never will!

[Firefret30003]

This song doesn't have a glimmer of hope or resolve...so deep.....I love it.

[gusta20]

lyrics are good

but c'mon this guy could make that "oh mickey you so fine" song sound deep

[Firefret30003]

And that is SKILL!

[gusta20]

talent

not skill

i mean he didnt work for hours perfecting his voice

[Firefret30003]

either way, it's good.

[majicodemejico]

somehow i seriously doubt that. If what you say is correct, then baby yorke would have been as good a singer as grown up yorke. I would bet that he's spent years, not hours, perfecting his voice.

[gusta20]

who knows man

but you have a point there

I mean , if you listen to his voice on pablo honey

then on in rainbows you dont hear much of a diffrence

you would think that after 15 or so years of singing practicly every day he would a range that only dogs can hear

you know

[majicodemejico]

in that case we can agree that its a bit of both. Props for intelligent conversation, it's a change from all the trolling and flaming that plagues youtube.

[gusta20]

well yeah , i would think that you have a certain range that once you reach it you cant go any higher than that even if you practice alot

But i agree with you there since ive only know read my comment with some sence

oh and this is what a normal mundane sounds like in the outside world

but apparently it only happens rarely hre in the magical world of stupidity , self righteous youtube

[cswrighty91]

doesnt always work with jus singing all the time. its about breathing, but i agree where ur coming from that if u hav the right technique and practice correctly u wld get better

[gusta20]

well

my vocal coch says that breathings s only about 10 percent

[cswrighty91]

each vocal coach has got hhis own opinion cuz ive got 1 aswell at my music college and breathing is a bit more important than 10 per cent as most of the top singers do they're breathing before singing

[dupoisa200]

well, his voice was best while "the Bends" but 15 years of singing dosent make him better singer, it tears the voice down, and probably the fact hes getting older tears the voice down like it tears on rest of the body

[majicodemejico]

well yes, you're right there, but you also have to take into into account his growth as a musician. He certainly has a different vocal technique now in In Rainbows, yet whether it's better or worse is just a personal opinion.

[iinfynite111]

o,,m...g so amazing.

[smileyet1]

Genious. Again!!

[Dende18]

It's beautiful, everything his voice, the emotion on his face, the pure genius guitar melody....everything

[archivement]

"pure genius guitar melody" ok....I think that you are saying too much...it's very beautiful but i don't think that we can say it's genius...

[Dannzzx]

it's certainly not genius, indeed.

[genothelowrider]

The way he does the melody coupled with this song, IS pure genius.....

--Geno TL

[Dende18]

That was what i was aiming for, thank you...

[crumblerush93]

great song love radiohead

[pestface]

amazing

[eggbertsmith]

FIX THE SYNC! It's an insult to Radiohead! You are giving Thom diarrhea!

[Atikita]

dommage que la syncro soit mauvaise...

[aljazairii]

street spirit is not a "song"!!!

it has surpassed the "song" level the moment it was captured and written...

[LfunkeyA]

it's just a good song

[spartan9185]

but thom didnt write it....

[allohaholla]

ohh?

who wrote it?

one of the other radiohead members im guessing?

[spartan9185]

no. it wrote itsself. Thom says it himself.

[109chickenwing]

he did write it dude

[spartan9185]

According to Thom he didnt. "That song wrote its self."

[wongowonga]

song is great.. why is this version out of sync

[aliciaspinnet]

because youtube messed up

[SpoonHysteria]

@aliciaspinnet then reupload it? :P

[Samoor69]

Melancholic

[nitter123]

i read an interview abou this song , and thom said that he would have to rid himself of all emotions to sing this song without breaking down.. in understand becus its a really sad song..he said the meaning of it is that your are staring the devil right in his fucking eyes , and no matter how how you try to escape, the devil always has the last laugh. so thats why he says immerse you soul in love. beautiful song.

[jaketasnake]

great song

[ciano417]

fantastic tom yorke with 12 string guitar.very very passionate......from shiver....

[cezaralopes]

Muito bom

Friends,

Do yow now if this acoustic versions make part of a DVD show? In that case, what is this name and where i can buy it? TKS

[Oxmustube]

As it was said before, it was live on MusiquePlus, Montreal's french equivalent of MTV. I remember watching that day. Don't believe it's on any DVD.

[WahuCarol]

one of my all time faves.. i got to see this 2nd row pit in cleveland this year. Every bit as good as it ever was. Amazing and a half.

hey is it my internet or are the lips off???

[aliciaspinnet]

yeah its a bit out of sync - youtubes fault not mine, the video i have is fine

[camilo161616]

@WahuCarol because thom have facial paralysis

[15step2008]

awesome song

[thejugglenaut91]

he plays an sg in the new series of vids, thumbs down and scottish mist or whatever they're called

[15step2008]

amazing song

[poundsy1899]

i have been listening to this video for so many months now and it doesnt get old. u are inspiration thom

[MojitoJane]

so very beautiful, absolutely haunting and passionate

[linkenmann]

What a voice!!

[syetes]

I cry.

[akurtstic]

Amazing.

[milklybars43]

sorry you need to type this in exact or you'll never find it:

street spirit tommy and johnny acoustic

[PekaSnake]

whats thoms Guitar, dose anybody know?

[eiddezepope]

it's just a standard 12-string acoustic guitar. can't see a brand name, but i would probably guess it was made by gibson.

[Fressix]

He's wearing a Fender guitar-strap.

So it might aswell be a Fender.

[abbondanzieriJR]

wow... best live performance ive seen him done of this song.

[milklybars43]

Hang on wait....The best version he's ever done can be found by typing in :

"street spirit fase out tommy and jonny acoustic"

You think this is good check this one. You will agree with me!

[milklybars43]

"street spirit fade out tommy and jonny acoustic"

to correct my dreadful spelling!

[eiddezepope]

wow, i've never seen a song played and sung so perfectly.

[431972]

I have more respect for that man than any other!

[Ferrarienzo182]

This song is awesome check out my version of it

[arma182]

fucking thom york how does he do it =( i wish i could sing like that..or write a song that good =( "Immerse Your Soul In Love" simply beatiful.

[Broodwartm]

brilliant

[knighton123]

fucking amazing (Y)

[havokXDXD]

its fucking great

[amnegiac]

fuck it wont play for me boohoo

[sushilll111]

Extrmeley impressive how he plays and sings during this song. The strum pattern is difficult enough to keep steady as it is, but singing on top of it?

Thom you prodigy.

[xzylophone]

yeah. I think it shows he has great guitar skills. He can sing really good while playing quite complex guitar parts

[hopeitsgewd]

wah..this isn't complex, and i'm sure he's practiced this song plenty enough for it to be robotic for him; do you ppl even play guitar?

[xzylophone]

of course has he practised alot but i still think it´s quite impressive to play the  guitar part while singing as good as he does.

[hopeitsgewd]

that and bout 20 yrs of experience

[ZosoDude]

stop talking

you have absolutely no clue what you are saying.

thanks.

[vecinto]

actually, it's not that hard

[tm1776]

what strum pattern? He's picking through the notes. There is no strumming

[theleo2004]

There's nothing really impressive of singing while playing that pattern. It's actually pretty fucking easy. It's the SONG that makes him a prodigy.

[ClashingZeppelin]

yeah i agree. dunno why you've got negative feedback for that comment

[00408505660]

good old thom, working the old beethoven cigar chords. my hero. lol. you guys should keep going. see you at vic park. 2008

.

[undergrounder21]

Their best song!!!I LOVE IT!!!<3

[drunkofwhee]

MitchellTamer what are you talkin about... this is radiohead not that faggot of manson your comment dont have nothing with the video man :(

this si the first song ive heard of radiohead=)=)=)

[Tootoom]

it's really great!

[basman2006]

great song :D

[Enlgmatics]

It's video compression that unsyncs it, dude... If the person who posted this video has the actual video, which he does, and he says that the sound and the video are from the same performance, then I believe him.
