"The Gloaming" by Radiohead (Glastonbury 2003)

[CatastrophicDisease]

Shadows blue and red . . .

[IChrisBallantyneI]

1 word - ecstasy

[09livvy09]

1:23 << that bassline just VOMITS all over you :o

[akingoflimbs]

I really think that this is the best Gloaming live..best part is when thom ends up dancing and sings they will suck you down to the other side.... Also watch the full concert-it's on youtube cause you're as attractive, smart and all-way brilliant as much Radiohead you've taken on

[willzer808]

hot easy to sing that in pitch. There is very little queue or backing pitch to balance with. He does well, has to concentrate like a mo fo. When he points his finger i reckon (er) he's trying to ensure he stays in tune.

[SoVerySpecial101]

He always gets so deep into his music, it's brilliant.

[Camillegutman]

God must be jealous of Thom's dance!!!!

[sirsick1]

@matteclarence I agree but you forget that the rest of the band all chip in Jonny mainly so they are ALL geniuses all very overlooked masters of notes

[magnolia429]

It seems as if he is imaganing someone and is angry at that person or smth..

[Tom123collins]

Such a badass baseline.

[ambulante7]

His mind must be twisted in some way. You must be at least a little mad to write those lyrics, to write music in the freely way he does and feel it like that, "dancing" crazily all around the stage and don't giving a fuck what people may think. And almost the same applies to Johnny, Ed and the others and their unusual, ambient performance: one of the best bands of the last twenty years and yes, one of the best bands ever. 

[OllerMaller]

@ambulante7 Fuckin' agree with you! I feel totally the same.

And still some people dare to compare them to Oasis or Coldplay... O_O

[gogolplex74]

This is the most interesting musical experiment since Beethoven...Really!

Nobody yet made so original and crazy song like this

p.s.I would like to know how many kilograms Thom loses during so brilliant performance like that

[hunnixox13]

definetly a good work out.

[paddymourinho]

ummm, beethoven wasnt 'experimental', he was the last in a row of great classical composers....

Just because u drop in a famous name, doesnt mean ur clever.

Actually, I bet your a fucking idiot.

[gogolplex74]

STFU Einstein

[HeadlessJedi]

Actually, Beethoven wasn't just experimental... He was revolutionary. If you knew anything about the western classical music tradition, you would appreciate this. Please dont try to talk about things you know nothing about. You'll end up sounding stupid.

[Transmissionwould]

Underrated Radiohead song. I'm actually glad this version wasn't on the album because Radiohead is great a doing different versions of their own stuff, so thats why its special when they play this live

[ceridawn]

i think its a thom yorke dance.

[UnShattered83]

i love ian curtis's dance

[hunnixox13]

its has bits of ian curtis buts its mostly just thom.

[Rand0mfan]

I'd like to see a dance off between thom and ian curtis!

[buckleygeneration]

Not gonna happen, I'm afraid. ^^ However, I think Yorke would've won by default, Curtis probably would have given himself an epileptic fit.

[stupidpoop4445]

lmao

[rimandojr214]

thom yorke was fucking tripping balls. lol

[KriguerraAMV]

trippin' on the drug of music...

[myvideostand]

Of course Johnny is playing the classic and ever-so-familiar Apple laptop. 2:51

[ochayedonald]

Johnny Greenwood: just playing Glasto '03, The Gloaming. Sick!

Nice to see him updating his facebook status.

[hunnixox13]

Jonny has facebook??

[ochayedonald]

Who doesn't?!

But you wont find him. He of course must stay private or he'll be swamped with messages and friend requests. Poor Johnathon.

[hunnixox13]

aw :(

[paliss06]

wiii me2

[LedGuitar222]

holy shit bassline

[archie130]

It would be cool if thom yorke was a rastafarian. He would look and sound dramatically different

[PLdrummer]

oh yeah, yeah...

?

[arduouskos]

my two favorite bands... played at the same festival.. when I was 15 and hadn't even rasted the buds yet.. FUUUUUUUUCK!

[J0NNO]

rasted the buds?

[arduouskos]

haha like rasta as a verb I guess I was pretty baked when I posted that

[focus2aus]

idiot

[TheTruckrunner]

indeed

[IZIAICIKI]

what??

[totter2]

holy crap that's a big stage. now dance all over it!

[archie130]

I think Thom sings way better when he has facial hair

[seamonster777]

Like the hairs grow into and reinforce his vocal chords or something

[billyradiohead]

ya, he looks psycho

[MattBellamyForGod]

Dance!!!!!!!! That bass line is HOT!!

[mets6891]

this fucking bass line is ill! does anyone have tabs?

[totter2]

911 tabs, site search radiohead. it should be there

[FreedomBeats]

That bass line is phaaaat when it kicks in.

[djmaf]

when the drum kicks in, it's so amazingly subtle and uplifting. love the band!

and thom's dance ofcourse :-)

[sayitatonta]

jajajaja!!! cool!!!!

[degrofm]

Dance Thom, dance!

[origiinofsymmetry]

Does anyone else love Thom's teeth?

[motorizedlamb]

Jesus, this entire concert is mad. It's the best thing I've ever seen. I wish the video quality was better, but the sound is perfect.

[renaud68]

theres a full HD video of the entire concert on youtube

[bridgesmatt]

fucking type RADIOHEAD GLASTONBURY 2003 it REALLY isn't hard, you lazy cunt.

[mets6891]

1:13 is an epic win.

this song is an epic win.

[AvaAdoreApple]

He just cracks me up!!!!

Love the guy! Love the band!

As for liking creep or not, it is true it got them to here. Not on the mere song but it was the arrowhead right?

You only hear people saying "I love creep" because that is the only thing they've heard of the band. Meaning... they are not fans.

[thejugglenaut91]

i couldn't agree with you more about creep. About the "I love creep" esp. When I met my girlfriend, I told her my favorite band was radiohead and she said "Oh Radiohead, they do creep right?". HAHA, true story. Needless to say there was a large quantity of cd's to be burned in my near future.

[orwin90]

omg you stole radiohead :O

[giusten]

ROFL at 2:46

[skateuse196]

This version is a blust !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ILovToilet]

thom yorke's sexy dance always entertain me

[timtomskins]

this is a really, really cool version especially colin's bass. Jonny makes all of the software him self so he can get it exactly how he wants it. genius.

[savinorum]

creep is such a SHITTY song, god.

the gloaming is one of radiohead best songs. and this is the best concer i've ever seen.

they're coming to argentina, can't wait to see them live.

[Alwaystuned]

Fuck 'Creep'. I've seen Radiohead 5 times but only had to sit thru 'Creep' once.

[bzradiohead18]

i agree with 15 most people like the popular songs, but all of them are great, in fact this is one of my favs from them, along with the ones that ultra said

[15amnesiac]

I think this is the best song from radiohead.. but everyone donesn't.... they say creep or just!!!!!!

[googenshlagen]

But you know what, although a song like creep isn't their best song...

A: It's still Radiohead. And It's still a fantastic song, but not their best.

B: If it weren't for creep, they wouldnt have gotten to where are today, and we wouldn't have amazing songs like these.

[matusalem12345]

he's like a 8 year old boy .

lol.

love this song

[sevillafc43]

I dont think hes dancing to be unique, i think hes dancing just because he loves his music so much :)

[thejugglenaut91]

i know man, it's not even that, he becomes a PART of the music.

[matteclarence]

Thom Yorke is the most incredible artist in the world......he's a genius....radiohead the best

[labrios]

well.... YEEEES!

[matteclarence]

it's a GENIUS.....

[bzradiohead18]

thom always has the best dances XD

[russianpickaxe]

if ed hit a wrong note when he was sampling that guitar part that would be very sad

[Ashleyisuber]

You probably wouldnt notice because of Thoms' amazing dancing.

[theno1se]

jonny is surfing on i tunes 2:51^^

[Sebo]

he's on myspace!

[Ashleyisuber]

To the people who gave these people thumbs down... lighten up, was only a bit of fun!

[Litowczuk123]

haha, the dance is boomy. + the drums and bass in this version add so much to the song.

[hitsuRH]

I love this version. :)

[nfiles]

honour graduate of the ian curtis school of dance :D

[typeinbolivianbug]

this song is no fun

[ScapeGoatMusic]

youre no fun asshole

[typeinbolivianbug]

but the neoploradons, think about them!

[olkoer]

this song is just fucking scary!

and thom is simply a god! man!

[billyradiohead]

like he doesnt give a shit how he dances he knows its fuckin cool :P he dont care about what others think, i think

[ultrophi]

i think he is dancing

[nathuntfantasy]

Thoms ace lol

[camper712]

Thom is so awesome during this entire concert

[Lilmissmonkey]

Poor Thom wasn't dancing, bloody Glasto-sized mosquitos were all over him.

[rootsrockrebel07]

He's "idiot dancing"

[doobeedoob]

im "fuckyou dancing"

[doobeedoob]

im "fuckyou dancing"

[perricida]

do you mean idioteque dancing?

[DrunkedCat]

wow Thom`s dance rulez

[Kama190]

Thom's dance is very special xD xD xD

[sloppisloth]

He is bad ass because he is free. Most people would go "should i really be dancing like this?" Hence Thom Yorke is much more than most people.

[rootsrockrebel07]

It's called "idiot dancing"

[bukk3t]

@sloppisloth i have no idea why this comment is highest rated. i appreciate this song more than anyone and obviously those who like this comment are insecure in the worst way.

[PhalThrax]

Yea, I forgot about Idioteque and National Anthem (how I forgot about these, I don't know).

A set with all of these songs listed would be an unreal experience for me.

[slitheringinterstate]

If you made a live cd of just their MOST exotic stuff: The Gloaming, In Limbo, Fasttrack, Backdrifts, Meeting In The Aisle, The National Anthem, Paper Bag Writer, Sit Down Stand Up, India Rubber, Talk Show Host, etc...i'm not even sure what genre you'd CALL IT...

...Radiohead at their best, sound like an alien spacecraft that descended in the night, eminated sounds from somewhere beyond our galaxy, and then disappeared into space.

I'd like to see Nickelback pull this number off.

[PhalThrax]

I totally agree. I think Sit Down Stand up and The Gloaming are their most energetic performances. Absolutely amazing!

[afferious]

Idiotegue is quite energetic as well.

[ISWfreakI]

and so is The National Anthem!

:D

[walkdontwalkplease]

"I'd like to see Nickelback pull this number off."

Classic.

[Kama190]

My favorite moment...(down)

[Kama190]

They will suck you down to the other side [x4] To the shadows blue and red, shadows blue and red Your alarm bells, your alarm bells Shadows blue and red, shadows blue and red Your alarm bells, your alarm bells They should be ringing [x12] This is the gloaming Shadows blue and red Shadows blue and red Your alarm bells Your alarm bells Shadows blue and red Shadows blue and red

[TheCokerVariations]

this song is amazing live

[Beauchard]

Amazing, like a haunting call of warning from the precipice of disaster.

[Infinity122]

Eh? lol

[decodine]

i think thom should open a dancing school

[mariomesen]

hey my uncle dances like Thom when he is drunk, and what a great song.

[rector]

lol.

[marcyska12345]

hahahahaha

[Komputilo]

Radiohead are the best. Thank you for posting this video in such high quality.

[trickface]

They will suck you down to the other side :) but what does it all meaaaan?

[IdleHandsStudios]

thoms dancing is so weird its cool

[karmadk]

i don't really like this song on HTTT, i think it's one of the weakest songs, but that said, I do like it a lot better live

[gypsyola]

yeah I love it on the album too but agreed that jazzy break on the live version is stunning

[neolithics]

Thom's face at 01:15 scares me. D8 Naaaaa.

[jdh1990110]

wow this live version has made me like this song -  didn't like this song origionally, its kind of like HTTT's Idioteque Nice to see Thom enjoying himself lmao
