[prajwalstillalive]

Moves Like Thom !!!

[TheAppletaffy]

[davimundo]

¿ 3:20 ?

[olimarson1]

man o man o man o man o man o man o god o man i wish i was there

[mrcadzilla]

does anyone know what those things are that are lined up at the front of the stage? is that a type of amp or something??

[Protos1378Angelus]

You forgot to mention "Arcade Fire" "The National" "Tv on the Radio" "Muse (their guitar riffs and beats are superb)" "Elbow" "Janelle Monae" "Tom Waits" "Gillian Welch" "Feist" "Bon Iver" "Rufus Wainwright" "Spiritualized" .... Just fruit for head ... think about this and try to listen GREAT MUSIC!!!!

[Protos1378Angelus]

@Protos1378Angelus I mean i love Radiohead so don't get me wrong, UDINE,Italy I am coming

[parkourandguitars]

@Protos1378Angelus Dude...arcade fire are you actually joking? It's meaningless pop crap...the only person you mentioned worthy of being compared to Radiohead is Waits.

[djryan93]

@parkourandguitars Someone's a bit pretentious.

[Protos1378Angelus]

@parkourandguitars Arcade Fire!? pop crap?! Dude you are either deaf or just plain stupid? Try to LISTEN to music rather then just be like: "oh I like that... don't like that... this I like... nope...." Have you ever tried to go deeper into music -- composition, lyrics, rhythm, ...??? Buddy no offense but that was really music-less of you

[Wickerbasket]

@Protos1378Angelus You both forgot Sigur Rós ;) Impressive list nonetheless though.

[kyokookanami]

@Protos1378Angelus wow your musical taste sucks

[Protos1378Angelus]

@Protos1378Angelus Oh yeah, I forgot to mention: Depeche Mode, REM, Queen, Florence + The Machine, Massive Attack, P.J. Harvey, My Morning Jacket.

[OxylOnpani]

@Protos1378Angelus Don't forget the Knife and Fever Ray. Not as well known but OH soo talented!

[YogaOnna]

Please please please come to DC!!!!!

[xxdufffxx]

IN LOVE

[BehindthePlay]

flubs don't mean shit here,. they weren't billed it was special .. further more i love a band who goes out when not ready per say but trying shit out... rock on.. I'd come see you in canada but it's hard as fuck to get tickets .. met them in toronto at the hummingbird centre .. i was star struck .. i said i loved kid a that's it LOL.. but what a show..... I'd give anything to see king of limbs it's my second fav album to Kid a.. it's just fantastic.

[willthrills666]

all of a sudden you fucks are saying king of limbs classic this and that it was way before any of u realized it .....ass haha

[DramaticExtras]

RADIOHHHHHHEEEEAAAAAAD!!!!

[ErikBr37]

Best band ever!

[AndromechA]

fucking legendary

[thesoundofdistortion]

LoL, @ 3:19 Thom gets tired of those wrong notes.

[Diabeticuss]

I think Thom came in late at like 2:40. Listen to the bass. But more importantly they killed it otherwise.

[Furtuzh]

Okay i love Thom Yorke. Really. But he's very ugly xD

[bsonnega]

Aww... Kind of sweet how Jonny fucks it up at the 'There's an empty space'-part.

[agios78]

He nailed it at the end.

[DonSolo328]

@agios78 Hahaha I was waiting for someone else to notice that too and write that. It seems right at 5:01 when the single synth note finally hits nice and loud, you can see Thom's face, he gets all smiley and happy, and from then till the end of the song he nailed it vocally.

[koosmangat]

hahah even great bands have flaws.. and its awesome,..

[TheLeocure92]

whats wrong with him? i didnt notice something wrong!! the mic was weak or thom listened himself wrong, sorry for my bad english, anyway i love this performance!!! :D

[blo0magic]

@TheLeocure92 Oh. I think he wanted to put the delay effects on his voice for that higlight sorta part. It wasn't coming in so he probably cued the mixer.

[RestTonight]

amazing quality, big thanks dude.

[Guyminster]

Saw this live! Was so good is deffo worth another watch

[Heraldiii]

amazing

[itsachickenwiththing]

That moment when you fuck up the key of your part in the chorus during your band's first live performance of a new album. Lqtm

[flo6473]

@itsachickenwiththing 0 people are lotus flowers of the field in my hometown called

[GreatestFling]

Colin saves!

[jgonsalk]

FINALLLY!!!! I've been waiting for three months longer than an eternity.

[kingwawawa]

tom looks cool

[VanillaSnow23]

Why didn't they play Codex? =*(

[Bornkilla174]

@VanillaSnow23 i know! I freaking love codex!

[motoian84]

This is what it means to have a connection with your audience. The fact that the band probably played this probably off the cuff, speaks volumes. When you involve the audience, the performance becomes alive.

[stevegerard88]

parece latino saludos desde Peru !!!

[TheKGamer08]

'Jonny!'

[ambar0strange]

@TheKGamer08

jonny is very handsome

[kassylion]

Totally out of this world.

Radiohead are true true artists. Not many left in the industry.

A few others are most likely PJ Harvey, Tricky, Bjork, Portishead, Massive Attack, Gary Numan, Aphex Twin, Ian Brown, The XX, Scroobius Pip, AllFlaws

[TheHummingbirdsong]

@kassylion robin pecknold

[Luvinhas]

@kassylion The Mars Volta, Tool, Explosions In The Sky, Artic Monkeys, God Is An Astronaut, Maps And Atlases

they are not many, just a freaking damn lot.

[23lFrench]

@kassylion Take out Ian Brown and The XX and you may be correct.

[NitishChauhan1]

@kassylion go eat a back of dicks, you hipster fukwad

[TeamCoCo112]

@kassylion hipster

[TeamCoCo112]

@kassylion hipster

[AlfredoNader]

@TeamCoCo112 I think lazy is different from hipster.

[Mucephei1000]

@kassylion true, and you forgot bout tool :D

[stobbe12]

@kassylion sigur ros



[callumlarr]

@kassylion Ian Brown, a true artist? Come on.

[snylekkie]

@kassylion Tv on the radio!!!

[AmoebaLandsCraft]

@kassylion There are thousands of original and talented artists out there, not few. They just don't get the attention they deserve.

[AmoebaLandsCraft]

@kassylion ...and Ian Brown and Garry Numan? You don't understand music from a musicians point of view.

[Rubarb51]

You said it well (StaticVeins) brilliant!

[Geefunker]

Little stumble out of the gate on this show but still OK/good from what I've gotten to watch thus far.

[floccification]

Envy. Wish i coulda seen this.

[thatguitarkid]

Honestly, as a Radiohead fan it's sort of refreshing to see them performing so imperfectly.

[thatguitarkid]

Radiohead said they didn't want the BBC filming their performance because they wanted it to be "a special live experience" for the fans that showed up, but I'd bet they just didn't want the first time they played TKOL stuff in front of a crowd to be on live TV because they knew there'd be some kinks to work out.

I wish they did broadcast it though. It was clearly a great show, even if they still haven't quite figured out how to do TKOL live yet.

[ollyrdfc]

Sooooooooo amazing. Was disappointed to be one of the only ones in my area of the crowd to be singing along to the TKOL songs but so fucking what I guess, just can't believe I got to be one of the first people to hear these incredible songs live, it was worth missing other bands just to get to see them Some people may not like TKOL but personally I think its a masterpiece.

[veronicabas]

there are a few fans on Youtube who hate The King Of Limbs making so much noise with their "important" opinion, but most Radiohead fans love this record and this people singing 'Lotus Flower' in Glasto, after only four months that the song was released, prove it ... get over it guys!!

Maybe they need more rehearsal, is just the first show!

Great video!! Thanks!

[iRECKONER]

Just to see what if, just to see what is......and ya can't kick your habit just to FEED YOUR FAST (American consuming piggys) BALOONING HEAD....

Listen to youuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrr

[slyradiohead9]

@iRECKONER Hey I am American. No piggy here. I fucking love TKOL!!! Can't wait to see them again!

[ozchow]

get a hair cut man and also f**king tour the album! that is all.

[curtisstearn]

sucks that the bbc couldn't film this

[katenzcool]

lol its so cute - jonny messed up :)

[calyn1984]

listen to your heaaaaaaaarrt part form 4.14 to 4.22 is absolutely fuckin priceless. I love it all!

[cruzer619]

thanks for zooming in!I can't f***kin stand those blood thirsty paparazzi!!!

[Camillegutman]

Silly question, why he left the mic?? something was wrong with the sound??

[gon2bed86]

@Camillegutman Cause johnny instument was wrong i think lol

[HeartShapedBox1319]

5:06 yeaah so cute

[atadon]

5:06!!!

[atadon]

i'd give jonny a hug for screwing the first chorus :)

[radioheadmouth1]

Oh my, the need to come to Rio de Janerio again. Please guys, dont forget us!!!

[echoesforyou]

lol i love this so much...its funny when radiohead messes up...i still know they're human :P

[rorybiller]

I'm a huge Radiohead fan...but that was shit.

[gon2bed86]

@rorybiller Rubbish, this and all the other decent uploads was great! :P Do one with your negative comments, no one cares!

[rorybiller]

@gon2bed86 Thom vocals were shit...if you are unaware of that, then I believe you have hearing issues.

They are just working out the kinks live I'm sure...but that was no good.

[gon2bed86]

@rorybiller haha whatever man, it sounds the same as the album to me! not everyone can be perfect you know! People like you should try being positive for once!

[nikt]

@rorybiller i wouldn't say they were bad, just think of it as an honest video. remember the official videos have been mixed after so he doesn't actually sound as good as say the 1997 performance at glastonbury. just look at the less official videos on here and you'll see what i mean. personally i think imperfect vocals are great otherwise i may as well sit and watch them on the computer as i am now.

[aanvari3]

That was a bit of a mess. Has potential, they need to work on it some more. I suggest more live shows, in America!!!

[ugaczaka]

seeings this makes me think that maybe it actually is possible to be bored at a Radiohead show...At least I would be while watching them playing this song. it just does not sound good!maybe they will figure it out somehow, I hope so...

[gon2bed86]

@ugaczaka Do you even have a decent pair headphones, you cant hear this song straight of a laptop, if your bored, thn you would be odd, it's Radiohead! :@

[djh0267]

Jonny! Jonny! Jonny!

[StaticVeins]

Screw The King of Limbs haters, the audience reaction to Thom announcing them playing TKoL material and their singing to this song (even helping Thom find his place once he returns to the mic!) have just rocketed this song into the echelon of instant live classics, technical flubs be damned.

[KleWdSide]

@StaticVeins Even if people dislike a current album, we still want to hear how the songs translate live.

[MrGbh63]

@StaticVeins Bang on - I'm laughing along with pure fucking joy at this, it is classic. great to see the elite working it out like this and, as you say, connecting with their audience in such a way. Pure professionals to the last. I've played this through 3 times now.........

[LesBarbises]

Oh my god, that's so good !

[coyel]

thanks for this! wish you'd panned round when jonny fucked up though

[kyostimusic]

their walking on stage music - was that "grab somebody" by ramadanman?

[TheCwest1991]

radiohead made my weekend, best band in the world playing the best festival!
