Gillian Welch at Bonnaroo 2007 - "Black Star" by Radiohead

[kemikalrxn]

WOAH. Incredible.

[wout112]

Good but nowhere near Radioheads version.

[billandersonful]

Check out the EP, Black Star by Gillian Welch. It's better than this one but yeah, the original is always the best.

[FoenixirFeng]

extraordinary cover! it's like Gillian's version is the original, lol

[jackgemini]

PS. Screamingmonkey: pg 3, called Radiohead indie rock. I'm out man.

[jackgemini]

blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame it on the.. (pause)

faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalii­iiiing s-ssky

Christ that took long enough.

Thom get chills from this? HAHAHA.

He even sings better falsetto than her.

[holtaprid]

I don't believe you're twenty-four.

[ntp608]

there's another version of this here with better audio ,but this version captures the emotion of the crowd & i think the guy with the camera singing along is great.

[kevin122100]

I saw these two perform a cover of black star at the bright eyes show last year in new york city.

They gave no credit to radiohead and the cover sucked.

[jswee217]

are you retarded? this version probably gave thom yorke chills

[jamidei]

Thanks for posting this- I've been back to this over and over.

sounds like you're not a bad singer yourself!

[erllun]

I dream to play this music like this one day... I record a cover of it with 2 guitars but It sucks compared with this one...

I just can't say wich version is the best, this one or the radiohead acoustic.

[zukhyubern]

I wonder what thom would think of this :)

[adelaetn]

does anybody know the chords they are using? and where the capos are?

[gogogajoob]

the guy singing along is funny

[march2fuzz]

great cover, definately. good harmonies. radiohead are just incredible though.

[livingroomsong]

Unbelievable. Cover? More like a reimagining. David Rawlings is a monster - tearing it up with an ancient guitar capoed on like the seventh fret. If you want to hear an astonishing live version of this, see Gillian Welch's Myspace page.

[gpeddino]

Beautiful rendition.

[hakanozelguitarist]

ive watched this, like, 200 times.

[macunaima]

Holy shit that was good! I wish I could get a better recording of it.

[Wekse5]

you can buy it on her site for .99...just a heads up.

[macunaima]

Thanks for letting me know.

[hj351]

*sigh* pretty gillian

[KaceKlosed]

I only came across Gillian Welch last night (had heard of her but just not the music) and already she's playing a cover one of my favourite Radiohead songs... damn fine

[screamingmonnkey]

you weren't that far off key with your singing. Just keep away from the falsetto dude.

This brings my love of indie rock and country together so well.

Thanks for this.

[folksmith]

Damn, I actually think Gillian and Rawlings rocks this harder than Radiohead!

[winduonline]

get to, no way that she rocks better than radiohead, good attempt tho, i guess

[thielenm]

the guitarist guy owns it hard thats for sure.

[jbcatl]

Video quality is obviously lacking from the handheld but wow - it gets 4 stars because I'd just love to see them do one of my favorite RH songs.

[SilentZephyr]

I saw them preform this in NYC I sang along the whole time. and I had shivers all over my back too.

[thielenm]

that was badass...better than the original

[sIimFast]

fuck no, nothing can beat ANY of radiohead's originals

[thielenm]

thats just cause youre a radiohead fanboy...stop worshiping them.

[picketfences]

the gillian welches of the world are a dime a dozen

[srberserker]

radiohead..the best...

[hakanozelguitarist]

awesome! shivers! instantly favourited! and as annoying as your singing along is,i cant really blame you!

[Reneecamp]

Yes, I also enjoyed your vocal stylings! Thanks for posting, this is such a great song!

[tnoutside]

nice additional vocals

[pmtravis]

if only i could be at this show every day for the rest of my life... they are so amazing.

[noliver82]

damn missed that set, looks like it was a good one!
