Radiohead - Idioteque (Live at Reading Festival 2009)

[buddhika216]

I like how they have so much variety. How they don't limit themselves to certain instruments. You got two great guitarists in this band and this song has no guitar. And you got the bassist on keyboard.

[Mrseparator92]

For those bitches who scream every motherfuckin second while Thom is singing. Am going to Radiohead tour 15th of march 2012 in AZ. If I see or hear any bitch scream I'll fucking dance like Thom on your brown bread.

[nicedream1990]

I danced like this once in a nightclub and they threw me out.

[Comed3y]

@str84ever Ive never heard anyone say thm yorke cant sing live after they acctually heard him sing live , from not just one video so thats why ı said he should see more videos and do some research before commenting . If he/she has allready done that , then sure , but im thinking if he liked his voice in the albums then his live voice isnt any worse , he can sing perfectly , specially in the basement sessions .

[Comed3y]

@str84ever Im sure you do but to know music you have to know the artists , most people just get a few songs they like and never listen to what the artists have to say throught their albums , if you did , you would see as did i that radiohead is much more then a few different vocals live . Im not loving them blindly , it took me months to understand how amazing they were , most people just dont give enough time .

[FarmerHeard]

this is the worst version of this song that Ive ever seen

[hallinanmatthew]

@FarmerHeard what's the best? I thought this was great but thom's singing could've been better

[FarmerHeard]

@hallinanmatthew

[FarmerHeard]

@hallinanmatthew drums are anaemic

[hallinanmatthew]

@FarmerHeard really? but it's quite like that anyway on the studio version, harsh and intense but not a hell of a lot of heavy impact. or so i thinks :P I thought it was Thom's singin in the verses that was lacking.

But what one would you recommend as the best you've seen?

[NYt234]

@hallinanmatthew the best version i've seen is the 2001 paris show. thom's singing is so paranoid and full of energy. check it out

[FarmerHeard]

@hallinanmatthew Without question the best version is glastonbury 2003

[hallinanmatthew]

@FarmerHeard @NYt234 thanks, I'll check both out!

[ps780]

@hallinanmatthew search for " Idioteque HD Live blow up the air"

[vitek2]

@hallinanmatthew My favorite is the one from the 2003 field day festival. Austin Brock has the full show posted if you want to check it out.

[Scintillations314]

Thom looks like a rapper in this

[mitterkell]

i laugh until my head comes off

[ymechaie]

thi is a recording of the song, it doesnt work

[TheCagedTiger]

@ymechaie

Why not?

[ymechaie]

@TheCagedTiger because of the sound quality and the levels are all off

@rorz999 YOU CAN'T SING LIVE FOR SHIT ASSHOLE!!!!

[rorz999]

man, Thom Yorke can't sing live for shit

[TheMostModestPerson]

@rorz999 wtf. radiohead is the best band when it comes to playing live.

[marshal3corps]

@rorz999 check out a live performance of either "Nude" or "Wolf At the Door". He hits every note and every word in what are two very difficult songs. Also, consider that these guys(singers in general) like to mix it up. It's not supposed to sound exactly like your album or else live shows would lose that human element that makes them so interesting.

[Comed3y]

@rorz999 ım not sure if youre trying to troll or whatever but ill answer anyways . He sings like that because he wants to , he mixes the vocals up , which is something most singers dont have the balls to do . Check out the basement sessions , he sings even better then the recorded versions of the songs , until recently on radioheads last couple of albums , his voice wasnt recorded correctly , so hearing him live is much more amazing . You might wanna learn about radiohead before commenting .

[flo6473]

idiotequeq my favorite muse coverband from radiohat

[Alternativerealm]

[DontLookAtTheTurtle]

@flo6473 Um.. Radiohead is where Muse got their sound.

[bloodriver3lol]

@flo6473 the hell you talking about, radiohead's my favourite coldplay cover band

[fullchamberoulette]

@bloodriver3 thats the biggest insult ever lol @ u

[Thedahdumdum]

@flo6473 wha...what...em...I think he jus said Muse. Attack postions!!!!

[roblowefan1]

[nic235235]

This is one of my favorite radiohead songs....

[musicisthesweetlife0]

favorite radiohead song..

[jordanbarker676]

Love Colin's little dancing and the faces he makes :D such an underrated bassist

[skadflaksguate]

3 people Must b arrest by KARMA POLICE!!

[MuscleMuirseum]

As much as I love this, you've got to admit that bands look cooler standing and hitting the fuck out a guitar, instead of crawling around on the floor twisting knobs.

[LowJonesBand]

@MuscleMuirseum depends :-p in general you may be right, but they make it look as if it was the most sophisticated thing one could do, imo ^^

[YeungyBassMasta]

@MuscleMuirseum not when its radiohead

[Tetragrammatonify]

@MuscleMuirseum who cares how it looks when it sounds like this?

[yovix555]

fuck off

and sorry =)

[GibsonFenderIbanz]

Every performance by radiohead is good just some are better than others

[blackgenet]

their best song by a mile

[Menegoth]

@blackgenet

This isn't Creep.

[blackgenet]

@Menegoth hahaha, each to his own

[Drenwickification]

@Menegoth i hope that was sarcasm

[Menegoth]

@Drenwickification

Psh yeah that was sarcasm *rolls eyes*

[Drenwickification]

@Menegoth well it's hard to tell when you have many people that actually think that, it kind of annoys me :)

[Drenwickification]

@blackgenet Really? They have so many great songs, I think you cant really say they have any song that is miles better than all their other ones.

[blackgenet]

@Drenwickification i certainly agree that they have 'so many great songs' i have come across one or 2 in my lifetime that i haven't liked, but out of such a large discography that really isn't something to be ashamed of, however i just prefer this song, it is a bit different from a lot of there other songs, not that many of their songs are the same, I dunno just something about Idioteque. But technically or musically, I'm sure it is no better than a lot of there other songs

[TehWinnerz]

seriously...people...it's pretty widely accepted that Reading was one of the worst shows that Radiohead have ever played....watch some good performances :)

[villiparis]

@TehWinnerz Its not wildly accepted Reading was one of Radioheads worst performances, infact fans who were there said it was the best they had seen

[TehWinnerz]

@villiparis ok....well...go on atease and ask them guys about it. Also don't forget that when you're there you can't necessarily take the quality of the performance fully in...it's quite hard to hear Thom really clearly with everyone else singing along. For me, he sounded pretty bad that night and the band didn't quite gel together as they usually do. I just urge you to check out one of their great performances.

[villiparis]

@TehWinnerz Ed O Brien said on the Radiohead website how amazing playing Reading was for them that night.

[TehWinnerz]

@villiparis well...sure. :) 

[Lenquiquineur]

Hum, I think this version is a bit screwed up.

[iliketoplaywithcello]

thom doesnt have to sing briliantly he knows what the audience wants and he gives it to them, i was there for this at the front and it was fucking sick

[VicRattle69]

Hey guys, give him a brake, this song is fucking crazy, and when one is tired, you dont jump, dance and scream all over the place. Glastonbury is F*cking Crazy, like 2001, but this song still being good!

[assoragila]

their performance in glastonbury '03 is still better than this.

[crazyplan9]

Thom sounds shitty here.

Sing with your diaghram please THOM. Like you did in 2001. This doesnt sound good.

[hohboy]

@crazyplan9 that was 9 years ago. thom is getting old, but his music isn't. 

[mckrankasaur]

@crazyplan9 You are giving singing tips to Thom Yorke? I assume you front a festival headlining, multi platinum band to be in a position to give advice?

[Elctnrng]

Two drumms here: ugly (1:52 to 1:57)

[flo6473]

maybe you are ugly on 1:52 to 1:%/

[gnilgnilgnil]

@yeahyeahyaha2 the crowd were shit. I was at this and barely anyone was dancing. Made me sad.

[yeahyeahyaha2]

the crowd is shit

and they are playing "home"

[binstig]

@yeahyeahyaha2 everyone was having fun where i was stood.

[yovix555]

2 IDIOTS DISLIKE THIS VIDEO

KARMA POLICE ARREST THIS IDIOTS xD

haahaha!

[justger]

@yovix555 its ironic because you made a grammer mistake. So when you think about it, your sort of the idiot since the other people were simply expressing their opinion on this video and didn't actually do anything idiotic. Fool, child.

Also, <3 this vid soooo much omfg its f'kin amazin lolzer lmao.

[redkopite4life]

@justger

*grammar

[euxodus]

@yovix555 no disrespect intended but try to compare this performance to the 2001 show in paris... it's easy to find on youtube; watch them then and then come back and watch them now. they were gods...

[parth010791]

@euxodus yea he sounds like he wants to rap here and is out of breath. His 01 performance was crazy good

[Creamy360]

@yovix555 you're a faggot

[dy302]

@diekontrolleure I do.

[Mcshitlove]

@diekontrolleure i do.

[LunarEclipse666]

this song is amazing. I can listen to it sober, fucked up, or dead and it'll always be awesome.

[UnholyMan122]

@LunarEclipse666 you can't listen to shit when you're dead. without a brain to perceive sound, there's nothing.

[rancidrancidrancid33]

this is why they are regulary voted greatest band in the world

[diekontrolleure]

@rancidrancidrancid33 not a single person believes they are the best band in the world

[peaceout1990]

@diekontrolleure I do.

[3xboy3x]

Thom looks in a great mood :P hehehe

[101commentary]

Simply incredible

[gon2bed]

This song is for anyone who likes to rave lol, love it anyway, specially when it speeds up :D

[jaymesdurante]

The dancing is quite uncharacteristic for Thom. I like it.

[leelee003]

How can radiohead rule every aspect of music. It's beautiful. :)

[tomnikond600]

Radiohead Rulz them all!

[TheParanoidAndroid1]

the whole festival their were great bands but radiohead just came on at the end like they'd just flown in 5 minutes ago and they were just the best!! They blew everyone away. genius.

[raztarfarih]

ive now seen rage and radiohead at that bloody festival my life is gooooooooooood!

[27ChristianD]

He's full-on going for it. I love him. So does Andy.

[K33hl]

[Harriet123P]

Thom Yorke's dancing is the greatest thing ever...this show was amazing - I almost got crushed in the crowd.

[billigoat2007]

[Bluenose4life]
