Radiohead - Climbing Up the Walls (Belfort 1997)

[Stophocles]

Weird how it's always the tiniest little parts of radiohead songs that really grab me. 2:58, when he says "who's got the loneliest feeling, the fact that he lets it hang on the second instead of just going back to root like in the first verse just makes it sound awesome.

[Caulfield789]

Can anyone tell what's being said between 4:25 and 4:29, or at least tell what language that is?

[srmpenedo]

@Caulfield789 Sounds a lot like French.

[flickded]

This song seems like the beginning of Jonny not playing the guitar nearly as much as the early Radiohead era, and introducing what they were going to sound like about 5 years from this performance

[Neganaso]

i just love this song

[abhikoolblue]

most hard working ..band ever..!!!

[FarmerHeard]

what is that arm shit that jonny always wears.

[etejuanete3]

@FarmerHeard he injured his arm for rockin' so hard. for some time periods he can't play moving his arm so much

[srmpenedo]

@FarmerHeard It's a brace for tendonitis treatment.

[caulpearson]

Is your name Caulfield. Just wondering.

[Caulfield789]

@caulpearson No. Breathtakingly unoriginal screen name is a tribute to the Salinger character and is a relic of my angsty teenage years.

[4rescue]

I love this song... this version is so cool.

[aschtung]

what is johny playing ?

[spanishnavax]

@aschtung It's a radio plugged into the guitar effects pedals

[blakevickrey]

@aschtung a radio

[09livvy09]

omg Phil's drumming is so good in this song

[soleiloceans]

Colin is the best person, ever. I love him hahahah

[WarningRockBand]

Any amounts of people smoking biffdaz in that crowd like!

[blackbeltbrown]

Ed is so underrated.

[trackstar3016]

@blackbeltbrown and they always cut away when he's rockin out!! ahhh! But I couldn't agree with you more

[Alwaystuned]

Thoms got the words all mixed up but it's RADIOHEAD!! They are gods. So what!!

[C3ment]

best performance of this song

[QOTSARadio]

@C3ment i agree, amazing version

[soleilmh]

Honestly I've watched enough Radiohead videos to say Colin's moves rival Thom's...

[panu7]

noise

[blackbeltbrown]

what is johnny greenwood doing? well playing?

[iceman992992]

@blackbeltbrown I believe what he's doing is known as "kicking ass"

[TheVeroniqq]

people look so confused

[banksyknight]

Did Thom try to break his guitar and fail?

[skullface89]

@banksyknight I'd be surprised if he'd try to break that guitar. He used it all the time during the OKC era.

But after looking at the part you're talking about, I think he was just feeding it back in to his monitor, and doing so somewhat aggressively.

[radioheadkids2]

Thom made my bird take notice, lol

[BuddyWillis]

The guitar Ed is using is actually a custom made guitar by there tech, Plank.

[fLuRoSlOtH]

Always so good live

[flopy8891]

what it's the instrument jonny is using? i think i know but...

[pieman4545]

its just a radio hooked up to his effects pedals, and then he just flicks through the stations. brilliant

[flopy8891]

oh! thanks, i thought it was a radio but he always uses an older one =P

[kidamathias]

In this video it is actually a Theremin he is using, i don't think he started using the Radiohead until after Kid A. The theremin is very similar to his Ondes Martenot, but as it uses frequencies it can also be used to pick up radio signals

[flopy8891]

i don't think it's a theremin, it's play in a different way

[GrowTheCaine]

thats an ingenious use of equipment so your saying all hes doing is picking up radio signals and delaying them and echoing them?

[kidamathias]

Yep, he might play with his whammy a bit in there, but yeah, that's what he's doing mostly.

[GrowTheCaine]

oh yeah i just think that is really cool so he could be listening to a soccer game and have it used in his music thats so wierd and awesome

[cameronforbes4]

still thats pretty genious

[cameronforbes4]

and yes i realise i spelt genius wrong...its 6.45 am in scotland at the mo...the fact that i can even type is beyond me after 2 1/2 hours sleep

[dorianaustralia]

a kaos pad i believe

[SimonRivas]

wtf is colin doin at the beginning lol

[Skalasky]

@SimonRivas he need the radio for the song, like the national anthem

[dead0piggy]

@SimonRivas Probably generating feedback.

[Skalasky]

@SimonRivas just takin time I think, lol

[CommBreakDown]

@SimonRivas its a thermin look it up

[YurzAndMyne]

@SimonRivas

Merely being Colin :)

[panjea23]

@SimonRivas hahaha, he looks like he might be trying to help the drummer find the beat through the synh sounds... Poor drummer :)

[letrinus]

@SimonRivas kind of theremin?

[MyBottletree]

@letrinus

Colin not jonny

[abhikoolblue]

@SimonRivas : he is makin the sound

[Caulfield789]

@SimonRivas He's just havin' a good time, man!

[dsignrdane]

why hell is the camera cuttting off his beautiful head?!?

[justicedoubleu]

one of the gratest ever heard; its like a madness in my head

[rektatgildmierda]
