[PuNkr0Ck3rK1D]

THNX so so much for sharing!!!

[Zedetnik]

Thanks to you, for your comment,

You're welcome.

[lozengeoflove]

i saw them perform at all points west a few years ago, and i gotta say--being a PART of the audience when they perform this song was godly. being immersed in the bass, its like you cant hear anything but the SONG, youre deaf to the other people

[xarabas]

is it me or is this song a perfect way to start a morning? ^^

[monalysy]

Amo Thom dançando! é very sexy!!!

[K31M4N]

so... you are AustinBrock nemesis? nice

[shyun1skynrd]

how can his soul be so much free? their expression of music is so unlimited and thats radiohead

[xarabas]

great performance

[yayito]

So deep

[Maynard0504]

he's the best dancer on earth

[feedback544]

this song live is so much more thrilling

[TheRocKalinWorld]

2:37: 1, 2, 3, Aaaaahh!!! This Part is the Orgasm of the Song!!!

What kind of Program or Software is jonny using?

[WeAreEternal1223]

This is definitely one of my favorite Radiohead songs now.

I've posted some songs I composed myself just today If anyone cares to listen, they're influenced by Radiohead to some degree.

[Radiom0ff]

wrong

[Tengent]

opinion

[Radiom0ff]

totally

[zosotube]

Anyone else catch an Ian Curtis vibe, from his dancing in this particular video?

[binnachle86]

nice observation! Now that you said it.....

[blochead555]

@zosotube absoloutley. its cool though.

[Ambercat90]

i love how everyone else is crouching down on the floor and hunching over computer while thom is going crazy. makes it seem like his fellow band members are afraid of him :P

[hoppimike]

this must have been the best festival/live set/experience EVER O.O hehe

[JoshuaSuperham]

Great performance. I always used to wonder about Radiohead's (rather, Thom's) drug use, but after hearing this song, I think it's pretty obvious to anyone who's ever dropped lsd. Watch Thom during the first repetition of "When the walls bend with your breathing". He definitely knows.

[hunnixox13]

im pretty sure hes not refering to the experience when your using a lsd.

[gumbywallters]

geez thom, i wish you'd get into the music at least a bit

[kuckoocloud]

This version is THE BEST.

[kimowasabe]

hearing people cheer to this song is SO disturbing on so many levels --yay, let's clap for the apocalypse...

[ITurner93]

yeah but the song isn't the apocalypse, if they like the song they'd be glad it got played. That's probably why they were cheering.

[gricka31]

many levels, wtf? go die in a hole, faggot

[pandaXpower]

Thom is pure sex.

[rocanlover151]

@pandaXpower grrrrr....

[CplBronson]

anyone else think that "shadows blue and red" refers to the colors on the american and british flags? or am i being captain obvious?

[TheRishiGirl]

@CplBronson They also refer to the respective colours of democrats and republicans, liberals and conservatives; they are the most common colours of opposing political parties in many western countries. "they will suck you down to the other side to the shadows blue and red"...I think it's a very vivid picture of being sucked into political BS and forgetting about what is true and what is real.

[Simpsonito18]

he never gives autograph, everybody knows that, and it has nothing to do with his concerning about climate, tibetan issues, etc etc etc etc etc etc.

[andyrawsyou]

he dosen't? why!!!?

[twistedfirestarter13]

i love how such a dark song turns dancable when played live.

[allanna1994]

that's also because of the way thom dances - wonderful

[Infinity122]

more danceable, I think its danceable anyway :)

[forestgirl777]

Thom's dancing is amazing..almost as amazing as his singing hahaha

[Jbass279]

This is terryfying and sublime at the same time.

[yogurtpots]

Do you know how many fans this guys have?

5 secs with each one will be theyre entire life.

[teegemagic]

you couldn't be more wrong man...

They are concerned with world issues like the environment and famine...

get your facts bro

[dana110]

coolest version of the gloaming I've heard.

[sevillafc43]

2:35 is awesome!

"1,2,3 OUW!"

[radiradar]

koalajone88 !! why do you say that?

[Loucopelobotafogosem]

hahahahaha !

[purplevenom9]

Did Thom just slap himself near the end?! (XD!)

[21rush12]

When will Thom be giving dance lessons? Sign me up

[yorkebjorkeforkpork7]

2:39 makes me laugh every time

[AvaAdoreApple]

Koala... and you know this because you used to hang out with them???

[hilokage]

i got the chills from watching this no joke

[Soulvania]

this is fucking great, my god they can do anything, that bass line at first not that cool, cause im used to the studio, but man thats amazing

[phobe864]

actually from 1:06 but still fukin scary i actually screamed

[phobe864]

1:09 is scary big time

[panmucha]

argh.. I don't like it.

[StudioFilmProduction]

I need a mp3 of this!

[Zedetnik]

Send me your e-mail in a private message and I'll send it to you.

[tickthestick]

@StudioFilmProduction we need an mp3 of the whole show haha

[Zedetnik]

I uploaded it some years ago. Sadly, it was lost because of copyright restrictions.

[Owninator666]

I wish there was a good quality video of this from one the recent shows with the new lights. they're amazing

[sevillafc43]

1:25, the dancing = LOVE LOVE <3<3 LOVE LOVE <3!

[exoticblueeyes]

i love them..they're just amazing.

[hitsuRH]

Thay played this song at Bercy, Paris. :>

THIS IS THE GLOAMING.

[francfortois]

funny how, funny how... changing that bass line changes everything!

[mojopins15]

Funny ha ha, Funny how?

[2Stardumb]

Joy Division is a big influence on this song even the dancing...Just saw radiohead last night in Camden and it was amazing. They played this and it was the shit these guys are ahead of their time and for a band that changes so much to still be together is amazing in itself.

[kwizzeh]

Don't take the hype comment the wrong way. It's basically saying Radiohead = fuckwin

[ScapeGoatMusic]

sorry please dont take this offensivley just think of me as a radiohead noob (really i just dont own all the albums and i should but taxes are keeping me from getting their albums :( ) but what album is this on its so fun :)

[ScapeGoatMusic]

correction offensively pardon my bad grammer :)

[xopenupyourskullx]

It's on Hail to the thief.

[madrfakrkonor]

Radiohead = Hype

[Clampirate]

It's funny, it seems that Jonny and Ed are giving electroshocks with their machines and Thom is receiving them which explain his uncontrollable dance moves.

[StrungOutFlip]

hahah

[algemeinenix]

wayyy awesome!!!*squee*

[manlardjr]

1. I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH! i hope they play it at lollapalooza. (and i also hope i can find enough money to go in time.)

2. AHAHAHAHA @ thom's dancing. oh my god, that's so amazing. usually when someone does something like that during a performance it tires them out and effects the quality of their singing, but thom is god so it doesn't stop him from blowing our minds. :)

[WahuCarol]

Johnny looks like he's playing WOW or something.. online poker maybe?

[bwebbh]

You know he's looking at porn.

[einarstraymusic]

this song is amazing.

[GlitcHead]

My favorite video when it comes to Thom's dancing. Gotta love the contrast between Thom and Phil, especially around 1:27. Phil's thinking "Can't dance, must concentrate ,jealous of Thom..." :P

[mondogenerator83]

They did this at V festival in 2006...i started screaming when the bass sample started, people looked at me like i was mental, was worth the scream tho

[MichaelLeroi]

were you at staffordshire

if you were, I was the guy thom pointed out for crazy dancing hehe

[lauralaurchip]

fuck. so GOOD

[Samh9]

Love the bass thing that they have added in the live versions. Seriously, I almost can't listen to the album version because I miss the groovy bassline so much!

[TheStoicAgnostic]

haha

true that

[eduardoconti]

same here!

[4urPhantoM]

thanks for sharing!)does anybody have full fest version?

[trev4guitar]

haha his little yell at 2:38 is so funny

[Kama190]

Thom is great

I love Thom's funny dance

[bwebbh]

Honestly, it looks like a swarm of killer bees came out of nowhere and attacked him.

[withsprinkles]

1:01-1:34 his facial expressions and neurotic little dance moves melt my face off

[bwebbh]

Well, Thom wouldn't be Thom if he didn't dance like an idiot.

[superwiicrazy]

@bwebbh how is he dancing like an idiot, muthafucka

[NihilAnalysis]

@bwebbh

thom's "idiot dance" is amazing and sexy (im a man and i like girls :D)

regards

[PIKlynch]

@NihilAnalysis why do you make clear you like girls? i mean.... there´s nothing wrong if you say the word sexy to describe a man and you are a man also, is there?

[NihilAnalysis]

@PIKlynch that was kind of joke my friend

[xarabas]

@bwebbh

hahahaha :))))))

[directandtomypoint]

I was at glasto 2003 and this was absolutely amazing

[Chiefmasterson]

Thom most certainly does NOT need dancing lessons!! He dances like no one is watching, it's the music flowing through his limbs and I think it is Love, and some of the most passionate, rythmic, interpretive dancing I've ever seen!

[andilee2112]

You're great, Thom, but you need dance lessons...

[PrintC]

ed is awesome in this song

[denxos]

Love Thom's funny dance! XD

[deezblast]

Radiohead are awesome!

We should get Thom to endorse Ron Paul!

[mnemosune]

During the Rh concert in 2003 in Bergamo, Thom said that this song was dedicated to the italian right governament. "This song is dedicate to MR. Belusconi"..I was there! Thanks Thom

[agt144]

That song's gotta be awesome live......just to hear (and feel) that bass line, mmmm.

[Zedetnik]

Yes, indeed. In the disk, the song is too electronic, but here, with the bass line, is a little bit more powerful.

[BitterrPill]

too electronic? but that's the good stuff!! :P

different strokes for different folks, i guess.

anyways, i freakin' love The Gloaming live, but still i can't say i prefer it to the album version. i'd say i like them both equally, but for different reasons. the bass line in the live version is kick-ass for sure!

[captainpaul]

I was at the 2006 show in Boston..the Gloaming was wicked excellent. It was funny though, the bass line was off for about 45 seconds into the song before Thom ran behind the synth to fix it. We thought he was done singing the song or something..hah.

Anyway, to answer your question, yes this song is amazing live. It makes you dance like Thom.

[ServerNotFound]

only Thom Yorke can make a song about the rise of fascism sound and look so darn sexy.

[Zedetnik]

Facism?

[ServerNotFound]

apparently, while introducing the song during one of the gigs, Thom Yorke said that it's about the rise of fascism in the right wing.

it is rather obvious that the song has a political meaning...murderers, you're murderers, we're not the same as you..shadows blue and red...they will suck you down to the other side...etc etc. yes, fascism.

by the way, have you heard DJ Shadow's remix of it, with Bush's "vocals" at the beginning? it's ace.

[BitterrPill]

haha, yeah, that remix is excellent!

"nucular program

NUCULAR
