Radiohead - The Bends (Later with Jools Holland)

[TheMostModestPerson]

0:03 The first three steps back :)

[Nickman5000]

Greenwood really does just grab the guitar playing rule book, set it alight with a blow torch then drops it off the nearest skyscraper! Seriously, like WTF?!?!

[empsonism]

pure rock joy

[cliffworks4321]

fantastic audio , mix, everything! not my cuppa but these guys got their shit together!

[racefaceec90]

to be honest am not really a fan of radiohead (don't dislike them either).i thought that was fantastic though.

[nicebernz17]

i love it when they do the intro...



[bloodnokian]

[roblowefan1]

[juniwilliams]

"i wish it was the 60's, i wish i could be happy, i wish, i wish, i wish that something would happen" i love that

[iClubMidgets]

These guys can rock when they feel like it.

[JeffOsvy]

"The Bends?" More like "The Best" Radiohead performance I have ever witnessed! For those of you who disliked, Fuck off & die- You don't deserve to live and listen to the greatness that is Radiohead! Radiohead rules!

[etejuanete3]

Ed at 3:04 "that's right niggas. this is how amazing we are"

[MJP474]

[MJP474]

Will try the 999>s FXXX 666<S:). Always thank you for sharing

[reydiyohed]

2:01 - 2:07 worst directing ever.

[BuddyRider]

1:54 is the craziest thing done to a guitar ever.

[ginosupernova]

@BuddyRider A prove they're the best band in the world

[MarthKoopa]

@BuddyRider Not even fucking close you stupid ignorant radiohead fanboy.

[iMovT]

@MarthKoopa lol you seem angry

[MonsieurRondu]

@MarthKoopa You seem rather disgruntled.

[simplelife88393]

@MarthKoopa Go masturbate to cartoons you friendless introvert

[etejuanete3]

Iwanna rickenbacker like Ed's...

[Binbay55]

Having all three of them back up on the first note is hilarious and brilliant to watch!

[roblowefan1]

@Binbay55 makes me feel like a little kid goin "again! again!"

[emptynb]

look out my cover of High and dry... hope u like it!

[castellidisabbia21]

I was looking for the official video, I think this is one of the best song ever

[DaIrishGuy]

who is this band?



[du8np]

@DaIrishGuy are you kidding me?

[DaIrishGuy]

@du8np yip 

[Rockshift999]

@DaIrishGuy It's the band that rose up to world fame while you were living under a rock.

[DaIrishGuy]

@Rockshift999 lol they`ve toured under this rock before and i managed to see them 6 times. wish they would again

[Rockshift999]

@DaIrishGuy lol, you were trolling (as if it weren't obvious).

[hollisbroon]

is it any wonder radiohead decided to push the boundaries?they reached rock perfection song and performance wise in 95

[Plaice00]

Am I the only one who has the feeling that the drummer is slowing down at times (for example from 2:00 to 2:06)? Great song nevertheless

[snowydrake]

@Plaice00 actually it sounds like hes driving the tempo on gradually until the breakout but yeah i dont think its intentional, sounds fucking gritty!!

[lookmisvideos]

wow, that was powerfull

[XeeGen]

Just love the boy band thing they got going when they take a step back and rock out simultanious xD

[kuronekoguitar]

トムのぎたーに貼ってあるのって日章旗？

[mask4ad]

Great live performance ! (Notice they play 3 guitars & one bass)

[jeremymaxwell]

Pink Floyd get stroppy

[MrShredder555]

johnny is so cool!

[booyouharlot]

@mattbond1980 people like that are the ones who treat music like trends, only listening to what's new without retaining anything as part of their collection. They are the definition of tasteless.

[YahJim95]

Love this song. Love this band. And Jonny rules. Wonder how his wrist is these days. . . I cringe a bit when I see him reefing on his guitar wearing that brace back in the day. Don't think he wears it much any more though.

[DizzyPuke]

whoa love Thom's vocals...best eva!

[mrjhoe2112]

primordial.. na história do rock!!!

[connorthesaucejones]

why is colin hiding in the back?

[MileswillDo]

@connorthesaucejones Colin always hides in the back. It's his thing.

[ellylikestovlog]

<3 Radiohead

[mattstatictv]

Holy Shit! Greenwood just pulled out that whole E string during that solo thingy. That was electric lol! pure awesomeness! *-*

[andreaspiteri]

there so awesome they made it on south park

[brunoarpeggi]

0:06 sync. cool

[inthecheese1]

1:54 what is??? O.o

[RabTroIIsYou]

bad audio quality :(

[michaelkyoo777]

1:54

[whiskydog777]

one of if not the best album ever THE BENDS

[Carrythe2]

This was the first time I saw Radiohead playing live in any format, and it blew me away. They just sounded streets ahead of any other band on the show.

[doctorievsky]

wow ,energicos en esta oportunidad , energicos y melancolicos , reflexivos y distorsionando

[shannyshoe16]

Awesome video, my fave song and favourite album of theirs.. also, his facial expression at 0:29/0:30... heheh XD

[rbog260]

great band - youtube.com/watch?v=PwIsjUPRZD­o

[liambrownmusic]

Intense

[MrAurel40]

My favourite song & album of Radiohead.

[karziflora]

@MrAurel40 Mine too...It,s hard to choose a favorite, i love every album but The Bends is one of their Top Albums!!!

[MrAurel40]

@karziflora. Yeah. I know but I always come back to this album. I don't know why! For A lot of people OK Computer is their best record. I recon it's a great album too. BUT, HE HE, "<the Bends" is perfect for me.

[herbie37]

@MrAurel40 agree but i was OkK computer freak at first

[LordKamiizumi]

I've never watched a band play live while being taped for TV and so I wonder if it would be difficult to just stand there in the background and not break out my one man air instrument ensemble...

[thewhiteafrican]

jesus, how the fuck do you follow this act? i weep for the band that had to play after them

[BuddyWillis]

MY BABY'S GOT THE BENDS

oh no

[Nicolette233]

I love everyone's hair at this point in time. Thom looks hott... still does and Jonny has the greatest rock out hair ever plus is guitar skittles are the best. like always

[tracehazarrrrd]

I've been down on Radiohead for the past year for being overrated.

I just got here from Creep, and to there from Nirvana playing live on some UK kiddie show.

I am now no longer down on Radiohead.

That was rockn'roll.

(:

[roblowefan1]

I've got jelly wobbles

[MrNickMMM]

F*ckin' awesome.

[ljswan34]

16 people got the bends

[bareakon]

How does Jonny get his hair so shiny?

[AijjGuj]

@bareakon

hollywood can do everything..

[AijjGuj]

@bareakon

i mean showbiz ;)

[lopzag]

3:40 scaryyy face :L

[oneswtwld]

I sang this song while on my honey moon at a resort in Antigua...... people were scared

[GabKesen]

Jonny!!!!

[ERICK4441]

good  music of 90s heard

[ah5681]

press 9 repeatedly and get scared :)

[generaljarjar]

@ah5681 he's got an illness you fat cunt

[Ryuhaku777]

@ah5681 I love you

[Miguelohara563]

[carouselambra7]

and look. Radiohead is still kicking the music industry's ass

[stewbabyification]

tremendous.......

[jwf1964]

how can anyone sit thru that performance? I would be bouncing.

[breannajoearmstrong]

Why is this my most favorite live performance of theirs?

THOM'S VOICE♥

[PlanetAirsoftPlym]

wtf jonnys string at 1:54

[anticsgmr94]

@PlanetAirsoftPlym

He's so freakin insane :D

[mrfudgeyhead]

They're like the new Television.

[gallagherisgod89]

first vid of radiohead ive watched,and got to admit..pretty inspirational perfromance.

[MarkoAGR]

increíble! es jodidamente genial!

[mudslide88]

3:41 = best face ever

[SOLDOFFORT]

Phil lookin good with a head of hair

[sahsahsah]

awesome band...

if u like Radiohead, u might wanna try : Watermind - "Not Again"

P.S: Thom Yorke is a freakin´genius!!!

[chopperdave13]

epic. totally blown away

[kareeenyeah]

Público de estatuas.

[Allinred]

The "oh no" and "no no no" parts are my favourite. He doesn't really sing in this style anymore, which is a shame, but he's still got an amazing voice.

[michaellouisreynolds]

hehehehehhe I'm in love with them......

[Psychedelic925]

What exactly is the bends, ive heard a few things. A mental disorder? something swimmers get? what is it??

[421ikoom]

@Psychedelic925 decompression sickness. divers get it when quickly coming back up for air.

under the increased pressure more gases dissolve across the alveoli into the blood. when the person comes out of a high pressure environment these gases come out of solution forming small bubbles. the bends is specifically pain in the joints and muscles created by blockage of blood flow to these parts.

[jbudd]

@Psychedelic925 I dont really know, but I can tell you that after an intense summer with magic mushrooms my vision got funky.... first off all the pixels everywhere but also when looking at a straight edge or line, it seems like its bent or curved.... I was also listening to alot of radiohead that summer so I relate it to that.... i know its prolly not the reason the song was written but , i like to think so

[iwasprobablyhigh]

@Psychedelic925

I think of it as the blues. Blues music has a lot of bending notes in the guitar.

[gpeddino]

Phil with hair, OMG.

[makky123]

00:5 someone turned on a fan in front of them.

[dshznt182]

This song is sick as fuck!

[SARDINIA1963]

Best album of the 90's

[villiparis]

Maybe this was when Radiohead were at their best

[AirbagDeployed]

@villiparis Not. They are still at their best.

[doksekko]

@AirbagDeployed Oh, c'mon. I am a radiohead fan, too, but you have to agree they have petered off since the 90's.

[DougJokester]

@doksekko some fan

[doksekko]

@DougJokester A fan means offering criticism sometimes. Obediently swallowing anything somebody has to offer you makes you a fan boy, not a fan.

[LiamBamBam]

@AirbagDeployed They're not at their best :P Radiohead will keep improving :P

[senorshorty16]

@AirbagDeployed Come on, we are radiohead fans but no way In Rainbows & King of Limbs are as good as the Bends & OK Computer. I'm a big fan of In Rainbows too but The Bends and OK Computer changed the lives of a generation. They're not at their best but really what band can compare to early Radiohead?

[myoramon]

ahh come on guys?? u2 kinda sucks !

[Piggo184]

To see a new band inspired by these put in /watch?v=kHz2C9NcFws see if u like it :)

[bizrody]

I wanna know why the people in the audience sitting around them arent going fuckin crazy

[C0rlay23]

i love three guitar radiohead mode

[Gright]

This is what you get when U2 meets the Sex Pistols and Pixies.

[DemonicMuffinMan]

@Gright No. U2 sucks.

[Gright]

@DemonicMuffinMan

Find a better live band than U2 that aren't the Rolling Stones and I'll agree.

[callumrocker1]

@Gright led zep, the who, oasis, beatles, queen, van halen, ac/dc, theres quite a good list if u ask me, u2 are brilliant band no doubt, but theres alot of better bands than them.

[Gright]

@callumrocker1

Zep, Beatles, and Who are better no doubt. Van Halen and ACDC sounds practically the same on all albums where U2 is different every time. Neither band had any movement except maybe Van Halen, but only in guitar technique. Oasis is too modern to be grouped with old bands, and no they're nto better. I promise you. Take 70,000 random people from the planet and put them in a staidum. U2 would be the only band left alive capable of producing a show to entertain all 70,000.

[callumrocker1]

@Gright i wasnt classing oasis asanold band, there just one of my favorite lol, and yeah u2 are very good. and yes acdc and van halen made no movement but movement or not they were better live. ive seen concerts from all of those bands and my dad has seen allof thosebands live, also i forgot to mention pinkfloyd, who are probably the best live band ever, theier showshav always been purely epic and cannot be beaten. although opinions are just opinions and nobody can really no1 can say whos best

[charlibeau]

@Gright U2 are awful

[cactaceous]

@charlibeau U2 are awful since 2000, before that they were just as innovative as Radiohead was. They went from playing rock to playing electronic dance music in a span of an album. The Zoorapa album, 1993 produced by Brian Eno is beyond sublime. Too bad they got old & began playing it safe, making music for masses & radio airplay. In the 90's they were inventive and didn't seem to care about public acceptance. Radiohead owes a lot to them. Only a fool without knowledge of music bypasses that.

[smokinsteel]

@cactaceous Thom was a big U2 fan.

[smokinsteel]

@Gright Queen leave U2 for dead live. You know this, as does everyone. Their Live Aid performance was the greatest thing to happen on a stage. U2, while great live, can't touch Queen for musicianship and stage presence.

[Nicolette233]

you just have to love Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood. Awesome plus I love Jonny's hair, who can't love this dude?

[mydogwhiskey]

Perfect

[captaincomputa]

Anyone thinking of forming a band should be made to watch this by law!

[cozimnot1]

My god, best live version of this song I have come across. Just stunning. Prepare yourself for an absolute onslaught at around the 3 min mark.

[cynthiailly]

this is my favorite live performance of the bends but every time i watch it the audience bugs me. they are so somber, like they are watching a classical music concert or something lol.

[keenandwhat009]

@cynthiailly maybe its not the audience you should be looking at...i know i was not looking at the audience at any time

[TheVoiceDubGang]

Phil has hair!

[pertaton]

esta cancion es..acojonante

[Subtlemeetstyle]

There are no words to describe how awesome that was! English langauge falls way short.

[captaincomputa]

It's time for Radiohead to up their game a bit now Oasis are no more

[jamesharvey]

@captaincomputa I'm interested in your ideas! What do you mean?

[captaincomputa]

@jamesharvey What i mean is i think they should do the rockier type stuff like on the bends,they're the last great English band still together i think they should cash in now theres a big gap in the market now Oasis are sadly no more,ya get me?

[fuckamericanidiot]

@captaincomputa or they can try something new again? surely that's better than just another 'rock' record

[Ghat801]

very Beatles_esque.

[bobdobslob]

They still play this one and "Just" live, so they must love playing it just as much as the new material. Awesome song, and great camera work from Jools crew.

[villiparis]

Thats me!

[ooglizer]

thom looks hot

[radioheadkids2]

@ooglizer lol

[XxCookiesLubMusic2xX]

WHY ARE THE PPL IN THE AUDINCE NOT ROCKING OUT!!??!?!?

this is pure music there handed and there just standing around

[bobdobslob]

@XxCookiesLubMusic2xX

pick one:

a) This is most likely the first time hearing the song (circa 1995)

b) They are English people who are more reserved when it comes to "rocking out"

c) They are soulless, mindless idiots

d) All of the above

[aDeSe18]

dude, this riff is so fucking AC/DC, and THAT is something.

[SamXmasl]

@aDeSe18 yeah, I've noticed the basic chords used like d and c :D

[Rockinrub]

@onemorejoe lol are you serious?

[Lihyahm]

thom looks so funny with his hair like that

[renzudoku]

listening to Ed 1:00 - 1:10

genius *_*

[sduddy]

nucleardog your clearly a fucking knob jockey miley cyrus is a fucking bag ov shite ho w old are you 15 grow up BOY

[villiparis]

Radiohead are HOT!

[LesPaulCryBaby]

Hush.

[dwill520]

You sir, are retarded. You wouldnt know a good song if your mother shit one out on your face.

[TheNEWBobDylan]

Jonny makes it heavy just by being there...

do not underestimate the dark majesty of his textures / vibe

Also his manic atonal guitar wrenching is viciously beautiful.

[Colourbend]

"oh no"

[TBTAndrew]

Remember watching this and they blew everyone off the stage!

[2405efrapix]

this is fuckin emotion

[talk45]

thom's such a babe

[radioheadkids2]

@talk45 lol

[willjsprice]

this is an amazing performance it sounds just like the album version

[CalmJustin]

Talent and Art still exist.
