"Talk Show Host" by Radiohead (Glastonbury 2003)

[takeme2mars]

With a gun and a pack of sandwiches <3

[TheChristopheCH]

Time on earth: 4mn55, time in the dimension where the song projects you: 15mn... Radiohead is a hook for emotions...

[Crunchieman]

seriously this b-side would make one bands entire career 

[highgroundstrike]

this was amazing

[ColorOfAir]

Every bra in the audience should be promptly removed\

[daniiiiiii68]

C zide

[PeSceALBroDo1]

"B-side"

[comopajarosperdidos]

La ultima parte me suena a una cancion de can,

[rocanlover151]

ohh esta canción me pone tan caliente... hahahaaa con esta rola se me antoja el doble hacer el amor con Thom!!!

[opnup3me]

You mean I was busy doing something else when this occurred?

[StudioScarecrow]

the crowd's reaction... :D

[JamesKingPictures]

whats a b side



[FlyingFuckstorm]

@JamesKingPictures It's a song that didn't make any of a band's albums.

[GamingReviewsLive]

Drummer fucked this up big time. Nothing like the original and made this a lot less dramatic than the original.

[AC3DC]

@GamingReviewsLive how can he fuck it up if he wrote it?

[L0cK3D0wN14]

@AC3DC he didn't fuck it up..it's his song he can do whatever he wants with it. just felt like changing it up

[Calvakins]

@GamingReviewsLive Only a great band can "fuck up" their own song and make it sound great.

[PlanetAirsoftPlym]

@GamingReviewsLive you fucked up putting that comment up i didnt even notice a mistake they are so great

[DEFGI]

@GamingReviewsLive it's called improv dude, lots of musicians do it live. plus you're allowed to experiment with different beats and tunes if you like, no-one to stop you

[piratpojken]

@GamingReviewsLive as the beat in the song has a lot of production behind it, it is impossible to recreate live.

[paleguyalden]

This song they played in Boston 2001 it was much closer to the studio version. Good btw, very good

[xxDaisuki]

I find this song very defying and sexy :P

[ColonelTomWhatsWrong]

can't believe this is a b side

[Tintir]

i wish thom yorke was a talk show host.

[danielber1920]

my ears just jizzed

[HeartShapedBox1319]

You want me... well fucking well come and find me

[biteofcherry]

my god. this is beyond anything.

[Madnezz344]

beautiful :D

[RHaeIn68]

Glasto 2003 might possibly be the best RH performance ever..

[inXmahXmind]

@RHaeIn68 this radiohead performance might possibly be the best glasto festival ever... ;)

[kwizzeh]

@RHaeIn68 Glastonbury 1997 or April 2 1998 where they debuted Nude.

[danfrayathotmaildotc]

imagine sharing an espresso with thom and the gang... rude

[nath909]

The BBC session version of this is da best, u know what I mean.

[lilbullet111]

Bloody hell - Jonny Greenwood, Ed O'Brien and Thom Yorke. Now that is a guitar line up that kicks you in the face, says sorry, and buys you an ice cream.

[YurzAndMyne]

@lilbullet111

AND take you out for lunch the next day.

[karinah7]

omg fuck lil wayne and all this new music bullshit with there autotune and nonsense nothing compares to all the classic bands that sound amazing live not like black eyed peas, tpain, n all those faggots that need computers to sound good. fuck them they suck and red hot chili peppers rock lol

[nariel82unfold]

that noise that Jonny makes is ajkfjjkgkjlk.k;l;;;';hdfgfg-be­autiful.

[punkdpoison]

the les paul is the best for wah-wahin`

[Agapae87]

huh, wow O.O

[AnAirbagSavedYou]

Follow me on twitter @AnAirbagSavedMe

I try to talk about radiohead as much as I can and i'm trying to get a decent following. It would mean a lot

LONG LIVE RADIOHEAD <3

[brrnay]

oh my  god.

[Rainmakerlola]

If I was there. I'm only 13/14 so I missed it haa¬_¬

I fucking love Radiohead.

[AndrewlovesMUSE]

this is an awesome live version.

[Autonomy81]

I was at this gig, it was absolutely incredible, always been a huge Radiohead fan and this was the first time i had seen them live.

I will never forget it, had a massive impact on me.

Thank you Radiohead!!

[MysticMan150]

great show

[stefmamo]

Radiohead needs to play at glastonbury 2011

[nariel82unfold]

3:36 - 3:40 is way too cute! :)

[pstrokeslibsarctic]

@nariel82unfold i think it's creepy, but cool.

[radioivan18]

ed´s guitar sounds amazing!!!!! 2:45

[aledobretociastko]

Lol, in the beginning (to 0:28) it sounded like "I want you (she's so heavy)" by The Beatles. :D

[Chuckbassssss]

Amazing !

[Mastergallia]

This song would have been so perfect on OK Computer, replace Electioneering with it and you have a completely flawless album.

Oh well, 11/12 and it's still the greatest album ever.

[Renegademaster15]

@Mastergallia Electioneering is a brilliant song :)

[muymalmoon]

@Mastergallia Electioneering is great. It sounds more like OK Computer than the Bends but I don't think it completely fits in with either.

[whiteshadow1110]

@Mastergallia I agree wholeheartedly. imagine Talk Show Host leading to the even more incredible Climbing Up The Walls...

[radioivan18]

@Mastergallia i do like electioneering, but you´re right, talk show host would be better over electioneering..... ( i have read that elecioneering is the worst song in OkC) sorry my ban english

[egge5027]

@radioivan18 shit, what about In Rainbows? haha... 15 Step and Bodysnatchers are out of place, but somehow Radiohead makes it WORK!!!

[fizzgigify]

thom looks short and squatty in these concert videos.

[payinattention225]

@fizzgigify haha thats because he is

[coldboy011]

radiohead is like cigars, its a required taste....i love cigars

[JazzyJonas]

Radiohead is my favorite band. "You want me? Fuckin' come and find me!"

[diego9468]

fantastic!!!

[Rach443]

If you want me, fucking well come and find me. I'll be waiting with a gun and a pack of sandwiches.

[jthrock75]

Goodness, do I love them.

[deltaframes]

If you know anyone who does not like this song.....or Radiohead, tell them to go fuck themselves.

[SuperAlexrios]

why there are masive concerts for this guys their music sucks

[TarquinThePeacock]

you know they are the best band ever when a song like this is a B side!

[KetchupKidable]

@TarquinThePeacock same with arctic monkeys!

[AntiMale]

I was nervous to how this would sound live but I'm impressed!!!!

[mamihlapinatapei2010]

that shit in the end is like...

...

i know at least 100 thousand words and yet i still can't describe it..

[roblowefan1]

i think i just got shot

[nirvanarugby]

highlight of phils drummin

[DerekAvalanche]

Love how Radiohead use space in their musik.  I believe in Radiohead!

[gogolplex74]

radiohead B-sides are million times better than most bands' A-sides

[moongoat13]

@gogolplex74 Except the studio version is this song is kinda mediocre. This song really only shines when they play it live.

[importantwoman]

I agree-this is so much better live-one of my favorites now

[SnoiltheRipper]

This is a million times better live.

[Amnesiac335]

what did he say in the beginning?

[dominickkk5]

"We see the people in their tents. *hits strings*  Can you hear us?"

[eonerf]

This has to be one of greatest B-Sides ever! It's unfortunate that it isn't on any of their albums!

[fuckscum]

Get the romeo + juliet soundtrack, its on there

[PJKstudios]

Love Ed in that.

[dyll182]

love the drumming in this

[helen01bond]

Pablo Honey is a fine alternative album... if you don't feel like hearing something of " Radiohead complexity"...u can still enjoy that album....

[Surferbra45]

fucking love this song :)

[SuperMario505]

2.45 when edd's wah guitar comes in. lush

[1ThatZmE1]

2:05 ... fuck, johnny's head got stuck!

[JamalofSoul]

this song is so masterful and powerful. It's meaning at least how this one sees it is that no matter how powerful the "power players" in the world are we;re ready for those son of itches to come kick the door down because all they're gonna get is a fist full.

[iceravenVI]

I'm a massive radiohead fan.. but i also happen to think creep is a very good song. I don't understand why so many radiohead fans say they hate creep, it may have been overplayed and mainstream but that doesn't change the fact that it's a very emotional track.

But i also happen to think airbag is the greatest radiohead track ever, so i may just be out of my mind =X

[hitek86]

Creep might be a great song, but most Radiohead fans don't like it for a number of reasons (I'm guessing). First, its not particularly representative of their work from any period. When the only song that someone can think of is 'Creep' and not one of their 100's of their other amazing songs, it gets very frustrating. Its also infamous because of the all the stress that it bred for Radiohead after Pablo Honey, and I think that a lot of fans try to be sympathetic.

[4f7u6c1k]

Without creep none of the later stuff would ever have eventuated, or if it did it is unlikely we would ever have heard it.

For that reason i like creep. I find that the track itself is made bareable by jonny's steel crunching that preludes the chorus, but largely the song is rather uninteresting compared to their later stuff, TSH included.

[sivaband]

naw i think their amazing music would have been heard, its too good to go un noticed by educated music fans

[4f7u6c1k]

Take creep out of Pablo Honey and i think radiohead would not have cracked a second album.

[sivaband]

doubt it, you think thom would not the the bends be released haha

[4f7u6c1k]

I know that John Leckie would not have been anywhere near the production, and consequently the Bends would never have been completed. Also the studio the album was produced in was built off the songs royalties.

[sivaband]

i think it has something to do with the fact that people who aren't into radiohead think creep is their only song. but at the same time, if radiohead suddenly became liked by the normal casual music fans, then all the radiohead fans would be pissed off.

[galaniz0791]

maybe maybe but it is so annoying that the first thing people think of when they hear the word radiohead is creep.

[VLTV]

I want to be someone else (in the crowd) or I'll Explode...

[kickerguy12]

at 2:45 is where the real fun of this song begins for the band

epic performance...wich this song was on one of their more well known CD's

[fazlibali]

awesome..marvelous..

[Shadowplayed79]

pure art

[JoshuaSuperham]

Phil really really gets into the performance at the end. He's usually so reserved, but I guess even Radiohead can get overwhelmed by Radiohead's awesomeness.

[doremi5002]

great performance

♪♫*¨*•.¸¸❤¸¸.•*¨*•♫♪♥¸♥♪♫*¨*•.­¸¸❤¸¸.•*¨*•♫♪♥¸

[Amnesiacmidnitetoker]

I was just thinking I like every radiohead song except CREEP song lol i cant listen to it causae it was all over the main streamand it got out played by mtv is the only song i dont like from radiohead

[elurseeknay]

i hate creep, the rest of pablo honey, hunting bears, and high and dry

[4f7u6c1k]

i love hunting bears, i hate myxamotosis and most of pablo honey, i have nothing against the rest of it.

Also, re: High and Dry, sounds like coldplay only five years earlier, if you think of it like that its pretty interesting.

[npeffer]

This performance made me truly appreciate this song for the first time

[placebo150]

unbelivable

[p4240892]

Una de mis favoritas por siempre radiohead es el mejor

[roofryder23]

ive got a fever and the only prescription...

is more radiohead

[franks1no]

thats probably one of the most win comments ive seen on youtube

[cannabisabuser]

Great punchline, buddy.

[zacharius64]

im going to see radiohead this year at reading festival and i dont think im being optimistic when i think it will be the best live show ive ever been to

[chpub1]

wow, brainfrart on this song, but remember when I first heard it, I was soooooo shocked, beautiful melodies, with weird time changes....ty ,for posting this...great song, beautiful performance of it live.....ty sooo much

[bowyer56]

there are no time changes in this, its in 4/4 all the way through

[MerlinTheYeti]

I always find myself obsessing about why this song didn't make it onto the album. But then i pull it out of the CD rack and look at the track list and realise there isn't a single one i would happily replace.

Still, it should have done better than just a B-side.

[googenshlagen]

I duno, I can't decide whether Sulk would have fit better on Pablo...Or whether this should've just been added to The Bends.

[samiamscogin]

I would have replaced High and Dry with it. Thom hates High and Dry.

[jska13galcat]

do you happen to know why?

[BeautifulMusik1]

cos all their songs are so great duh

[gabyp123456]

i want you... you want me

[Rorylovesberries]

glastonbury 03 has a fuckin awesome setlist and a lot of the songs are my favorite renditions of them. and everybody seems so chill there. the lucky bastards who went lol. hope I can go to a show as great as this or just see them live once at least

[buckleygeneration]

So much better than the original version, and that one is still great.

[Barnassis]

so so dedicated

[AnOriginalPenguin]

go for it Ed

[MrYevrah]

for the birds

[Lazio2009]

i lose it every time i hear this song!

radiohead = 5 gods on earth!

[LightBrunch]

Love the cameo appearance from Pacman at the end...

[VantiveMan]

Also good to see Thom smiling at the start and his crazy guitar dance. I have this perf @ Glasto safe on DVD at home, always cheers me up

[taniatikaram]

''You want me ? well fuckin come and find me!'' Awsome! XD

[VantiveMan]

Ah yes, but with a gun a packt of sandwiches!

Best non-album song

[KarmaPolice90]

go on Ed!!!

[killyouridols333]

is this a cover?

[renaud68]

no, its a B-side for the song " street spirit (fade out) " from the bends

[aidskeys]

It's also on the soundtrack to the film 'romeo and juliet' by baz lurrhman! :)

[theuserofnames0]

Yeah, apparently Thom was into original Romeo and Juliet movie and now Radiohead has 2 songs on the newest one.

[zeppelinator]

You know a person is THAT good when he/she can sing "I'll be waiting with a gun and a pack of sandwiches" and you don't burst out laughing.

[GabrielNeil21]

I have only heard this song once before and had forgotten how good it is. It's almost Radiohead gone funky, sounds great.

[Jimlad91]

He sings a lot of the held notes out of tune and it sounds... fucking brilliant! Such a brilliant piece of music and a fantastic performance.

"I'll be waiting with a gun and a pack of sandwiches" Awesome

[potjacklfc]

the whole glastonbury set is fuckin unbelievably amazing

the best live band of our generation whetther you like em or not

[catwomanjean]

love love love this song. radiohead you're the best. nuff said.........

[Zylandia]

jesus christ this song its old, but sounds like actual music, from 2008, this band and this song always gonna sound so new and fresh, from pablo's honey to in rainbows, i love this band, in the year 3009 radiohead will rulz like rulz today

[djmaf]

fuck, radiohead is such an epic band :D

[flavivalavida]

no words!!!!!!!!!!!

[CameronForbes18]

chooooooon

[derris]

i looooooooooooooooooooove this fucking great song; extermely coool

[seatucker]

i relly miss their old stuffs ..

[muymalmoon]

I would compare this to something you would find during the transition between O.K. Computer and Kid A. It doesn't fit the Bends era in which it was released. Releasing it as a B-side was smart.

[noogies]

what would be a good transition song from ok to kid a?

[sam007manu]

You've decided to die listening to it?

How does that work?

[sam007manu]

How would my comment make you want to kill yourself?!

And if you commented a video stating your intent to kill yourself, it just sounds like a cry for attention.

[TAfTfilms]

It is just a bit of an unnerving thing to say. Though I agree it is an amazing song.

[CorporalClegg94]

phil selway is badass

[MattBells45]

YOU are a badass !

[francfortois]

That was meant as a compliment

[bridgesmatt]

NO YOU are a badass!

[pandaXpower]

They're meant to be playing at Glastonbury.

I hope they play this song.

D: I'm only 14, I missed out on all this.

[TomPiltoff]

Sorry Jonny, those end effects sucked.

[shiftytemp]

Hahahaha... and here I thought you were only a dick on Atease

[Petiber]

phil selway is awesome

[UmbralSea]

Man... this concert was so epic.

[chrisbabe777]

i saw radiohead live at the hollywood bowl in california.

and they are easily the best band live in the world.

unblievable.

ive never seen anything better.

[Aardvarked88]

Would have sounded so much better with a different snare, this one is far too tight for this song.

[LnxUsr]

great

[leperakorn]

But that said, some songs you can't do as well live as in the studio....

I reckon Packt Like Sardines and You And Whose Army are prime examples of that. You just can replicate that encompassing sound live.

[isobelmk]

how do they write these???

[nyyankssuck]

usually with a couple of guitars, a bass and a drumset

one would assume

[kevvv23]

lol cocky

[nyyankssuck]

thats very big of you

now how about you fuck off and take a joke

[isobelmk]

[amenobox]

so_fucking_cool_
