[wakcan]

U the man

[michaelfeldman91]

Honestly, if there were a way to trade my life to have seen this show, I would have done it without the slighest bit of hesitation.

[jrouby]

I couldn't imagine this song could be so intense played only with an acoustic guitar. And it is. Wonderful and I miss the words !

[jjysoserious]

I love the guy at the beginning. ooohOOOOHOHOOHOHOH

[barskir]

I wish you'd sit somewhere else so we can see how he plays

[dansta187]

@barskir Warrenmusic

[barskir]

@dansta187 thanks, well to tell you the truth warren is not very accurate, but yes this guy is good.

[rocanlover151]

Maggie for president!!!! :D

[OptikC]

Video like this makes me happy to be in the 21st century. Consumer HD. Society cannot go backwards! Thanks maggiebear!

[Yojimbo1AK]

nice quality

[richielverde]

the true Lennon´s heritage music craft , take this Sean!

[otemachi]

Great guitar playing here

[AmelieDemy]

How lucky you are to be able to see him and hear him sing live! I hope they decide to go on tour now with the King of Limbs and that they come to Greece as well!

[jassonite]

Obviously the camera man is not a guitarist!!! Anyway what an amazing performance.

[nekomosi]

soooo...awesome..i'm floored.

[iagolima]

I would have sold my kidney to have gone to this show

[farutrv20]

@iagolima me too... me too...

[FarCryss]

Fuck people who sing along.

[naomifullbloom93]

@FarCryss

Yeah, like really, enjoying the music? Who the hell does that? :)

[SuperPikeymikey]

I jizzed my pants

[mindnumber9]

@SuperPikeymikey okay, superspunkmonkey

[quidseeker]

Look at 4:17 and freeze it.....perfect image of Thom in the afterglow of this brilliant song.

[tonatiuhnitor]

Jesus looks like Thom Yorke

[HisGibbonsVoice]

wish i cud see what his left hands doin.. i really wanna play it like this, tis epic :)

[Damnmusician]

@HisGibbonsVoice Warren Lain actually did a cover and a tutorial of it. You can go and check it out, it is pretty useful. His channel is warrenmusic.

[hurdy72]

simply amazing...best artist of all time for sure!

[101commentary]

maggiebear74, I would like to send you actual love in the post for this video :p

[voteforpedro555]

How did you do it maggiebear74.... to hold up the camera for so long. Much respect, loving this.

[superwiicrazy]

u english people are so lucky to have radiohead and thom yorke performing live all the time

[OneManAndHisToaster]

@superwiicrazy English and French... They hae a LOT of shows every year... :(

[blueberrykush101]

this song is actually a bitch to play on the acoustic. props to the master.

[Outrjs]

For the love of everything that is wonderful when a new album comes out...

COME OUT WITH AN ALBUM ALREADY.

LETS MAKE NEW MEMORIES!!!

[superwiicrazy]

@Outrjs im with u dude

[101commentary]

This is one of the best versions of this song I have heard :) I love the acoustic version, so seamless. I know the word 'genius' gets thrown around a lot, but Thom Yorke is a musical genius, so amazing.

[katenzcool]

Thom looks amazing

[Ravenmist66]

And they said American audiences are loud. British crowds are just as obnoxious and annoying.

[hurdy72]

I fuckin love this man...................

[jaskitses]

I watch this video most days... thanks Maggie.

Thought I was there biggest fan? Seen em; 9 times

[Newith]

Thankyou for share, maggie :)

[treefingers1206]

I've seen this song live. But Thom solo makes you appreciate the intricacy of the song. That's just him. Plus Jonny and Ed and Colin and Phil....that's why it's so great.

[Desperado8600]

It is now my mission in life to learn how to play this song in acoustic format. Jesus fucking christ i wish that music stand wasn't in the way. Its like slapping god across the face.

[runutsutube]

@Desperado8600 If you know how to play thom's guitar in the original album format (google is full of tabs for this), it's actually quite easy to guess the small differences he does for this acoustic version. Mainly the intro, solo and outro. Anyhow I must agree with you: Damn music stand!

[madhav05]

awesome!!!

love it!

[ComradeNu]

I think this is my favorite version of this song... I'd kill for a studio quality version.

[hurdy72]

the messiah!

[OptikC]

How the fuck am I supposed to work this out with that sheet music in the way!? Arghhhh!

[VoodooChile1985]

@OptikC This is definitely not sheet music.

-Try your headphones - if you use an in-ear then listen only w/ the left one..or the right side.. the guitar side ;o)

[OptikC]

@VoodooChile1985 I just like watching Thom do it, you don't know me mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

[VoodooChile1985]

@OptikC You just put a smile in my face. :)

I know what you mean. I love him ;o)

[warrenmusic]

@OptikC I got you covered!

[JohnnyCagePro]

OK Computer

[yeahyeahyaha2]

i don't get how peapole can resist to not sing this sing the lungs out of this song

i just wouldn't be able

it's such a dream to me just to see this god

[DestinyQx]

when was this show?

[maggiebear74]

@DestinyQx feb.25th, 2010

[johnclever1]

@maggiebear74 Thank you Maggie, for this wonderful videos.

[ed1art54]

it sounds better with vuvuzelas

[k2oliber]

How long was the performance? I really would like to hear it all. Does anybody know the setlist? I should be there, I should be there... there, there...

[pigshamchess]

thoms face at the end! ahh, such a lovely man.

[campopper]

He's great!

[SERLITZ]

This song sound so good acoustic. :)

[remitroamer]

That music stand is the most annoying thing in my life right now. Is there a camera from another angle on tube?

[OptikC]

Fucking beautiful.

[short10102]

way to not see his left hand at all, how can i play his live stuff if theres a gdamned music stand in the way?!?!? Awesome videos!!!

Thom is God, God is all powerful

[Althalus75]

@short10102 Every guitarist is thinking the same thing. Especially me. I got over it quick as I got lost in Thom's voice.

[lufc550]

Glad to see some hardcore thom yorke fans here.

[justinorville]

AWESOME version of an awesome song of an awesome album by the best band ever.

[VictorLooser]

is it Basic tunning on E ?

[skwerlfish33]

@VictorLooser

I believe he's tuned his B string to an A.

EADGAE

[VictorLooser]

@skwerlfish33 That's what I'm think too =P

thx 4 reply =)

[VictorLooser]

AmaZING~~~~~~~~~~~~

[zebrahead32]

this is just fuckin class

[twerquie]

incredible!

[skylineiiigtr]

I want to smash that note stand!!! UGH

Awesome vid anywho

[ComradeNu]

@skylineiiigtr haha yeah me too... i wanna see the chords he uses so bad

[andrew11235]

@skylineiiigtr there's another video from the same show, but the camera's from a different angle, with no stand in the way

[skylineiiigtr]

@andrew11235 GET IT FOR ME! lol...pleeease

[andrew11235]

@skylineiiigtr On second thought it's kind of hard to make out... but: ?v=aThq59kkYao

[Cricriiii]

@andrew11235 did this help? it's kinda bright, i'm searching for the bass notes on a keyboard and i'll try to figure out the "real" positions with this video too...

What a pity this one (which is perfect) doesn't show them to us :D

[Tomrrrrrr]

maggiebear, you audio is amazing! all the downloads out there have much lower quality audio - good job!

[MouthlessGeneration]

Please make him stop, he's way too good.

[ComradeNu]

This is an absolutely brilliant rendition of an absolutely brilliant song. Thom Yorke... nuff said.

[jdavicer]

gracias por subir estos videos maggiebear74 me hubiera gustado estar ahi

[oberon61801]

any idea what kind of guitar this is?

[HeckTo]

It's called "acoustic guitar".

[thebroomhandles]

TOOOOOOO FUNNY

[HurtStrings]

lol

[Cricriiii]

@HeckTo gimme such a great guitar and i'm pretty sure i can do "acoustic guitar" too :P

[submarinejackhammer]

it's a gibson hummingbird.

[caseycurran]

@oberon61801 GIBSON HUMMINGBIRD?

[wesselklooster]

@oberon61801 Gibson

[ComradeNu]

@oberon61801 gibson hummingbird i believe

[duyff]

HAWT!

[b96d]

my idol, wOL!!!

[DiarmaidGNR]

great video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MsTazza91]

Was right at the front, and I gota say, i'm really sad that camera's can't capture the actual essence of the music, it was amazing!!!!!! I'm glad that someone captured some good vids of the gig though, corn exchange! GO GREEN PARTY!!!!!

[VALIS1974]

thank you so much for this amazing video!!!

radiohead is my therapy and i needed this...

I luv ur website btw!!! everyone go chck ot out!

luv u!

[VALIS1974]

MAGGIEBEAR

[debaser203]

In the last 10 seconds, you can tell he had as much fun playing it as we did listening. Love moments like that!

[darkshines321]

Absolutely magical!

[travroy]

I miss the OKC era. :(

[Supaduck0]

I would actually like to see a version of the film "i am legend" but instead of will smith it's thom yorke, and instead of saving the world he writes the best album ever about it

[hjh360]

yeah and maybe like Avatar but instead of the handicapped person its thom yorke, and instead of going to some planet he writes the best album ever... that would make way more sense

[hodgins]

nice vids!!!!!!!!! wish i was here

[goneAWOLagain]

The ending is especially beautiful. Thanks, Maggiebear!! I'm not so sad about missing the gig now :)

[coruptgovt]

yeah he deff put's more effort into his vocals when he's playing solo acoustic shows. This looks like one of the best shows ever!

[Vbgrel]

@coruptgovt it's not that he puts more effort. solo acoustic shows are much smoother for the voice. when it's the full band, he must put a lot more effort if he wants to get heard with all the other instruments.

[frankiefusion]

Did you get footage of The Clock? Nice videos by the way! Awesome quality!

[begily]

is there a recording of the pyramid song performance he did at cambridge?

[begily]

I was there, and I just want to rub it in :)

[toucansam]

every time he says he's back to save the universe you cant help but believe him

[icollinson1]

Great video. Thanks! Great gig too (I was there!).

[pame592]

thom is my god

[HurtStrings]

Ive noticed his vocals are better when he plays solo acoustic. AMAZING!

[TheFlowerseller]

perfect

[redrumPole]

more european shows, Thom. please.

[richi6006]

thks for this!!

[visceralanding]

whoa holy awesome.

[missflierg]

His voice and sweetness has saved MY universe.

Thank you for these amazing videos!!

[missflierg]

Sooooo melting!!!

[MonolithFIJI]

Chills.

[Conacostock]

That was just a brilliant acoustic rendition.

[slowdownnn1]

this is amazing. i'm so happy that this exists

[sourxheart]

Oh my god, this is fucking fantastic. Thank you so much for recording this.

[braccobaldo82]

fantastico

[scaryclaireyfairy]

[sendratoj]

Holy shit, this video is amazing.
