Radiohead - the National Anthem live at the BBC studios

[backdoorman1971]

This is the definition of Perfection. I'm blown away every time I listen to this masterpiece

[PETERFELIX]

ONLY RADIOHEAD CAN USE A TV AS AN INSTRUMENT. GENIUS!

[mikenovel]

From 1 to 10, how many MILLIONS they enjoy to play this song???

[TehCheezBurgrz]

@RevRyan15 No, just no.

[Braxium1]

@RevRyan15 I would play music like Radiohead, even if i took an arrow to my head, so shut up.

[SawMovies]

thom's tripping on his own music. awesome :D

[ryboproducer]

[JamesPurcellie]

[ferskasito]

Hat's off and stand up for the National Anthem.

[StorybookComa]

Fucking love that bass. God damn.

[philbag85]

[philbag85]

FUCKING DEADLY

[BlueMonk25]

This song is perfection...one of the most technically complete songs ever. Brilliant. Kid A is Radiohead's Revolver!

[roblowefan1]

kicked my ass into the weekend

[AustinBrock]

And now you search "Lj-Rsl8brt8" to watch the rest of the 19 song show :).

[4mayZing]

i love when they play the national anthem at a venue where there would be people who've never witnessed their glory, because i pictured their shocked faces as the band goes crazy and fills the place with a glorious and genius sound never heard before

[nadjapudar]

swear would give up 5 yeasr of my life just to see them alive somwhere in Middle East(not stupid Dubaiplease)

[Camillegutman]

2:01, Thom face, priceless!!!!!!

[darkhorizon088]

Jonny cracks me up. There are times when he's beating his guitar like a mad man and then theres times like this when he's cool as a cucumber in the midst of chaos

[wilburnforce]

EVERYONE

EVERYONE AROUND HERE

EVERYONE IS SO NEAR...

[TheAskald]

@wilburnforce I agree x)

[luiscalcocer]

kickass base guitar slapin´

[BoiSkizzy]

2:25 sounds like thom yorke was singing that

[hanl9889]

I just love the gasp-scatting Thom does at the beginning.

[mercurylover50]

when Jonny turns off the tv

[crashonskis]

... he must be baked as hell...

[hamsterdam92]

@crashonskis

nah he's always like that

[davemorphine]

look what Thom do with his mouth, tongue.. it must be amazing playing this crazy stuff on cocaine ;-)

[Unnamed0909]

I love how they sped it up. It makes it kick so much more ass.

[LieutenantSarcasm26]

That bassline makes me drunk on this music.

[bettyboopdenormandie]

jador jador jador



[patrickward21]

amazing song!!!

[berthajoadams]

omg i actually had to turn the volume off to type this because this song hypnotizes me and puts me in a trance. I just heard it the first time ten minutes ago, and I stopped in my tracks and felt like a helium balloon suspended in space.

[berthajoadams]

omg

[DAVROSS44]

That bassline is fucking amazing, i could just listen to that alone!

[napsterI3]

he's drunk!

[ArseneWengerIsGod]

If you're on any type of "speed," I feel for you. This will make you come out of your skin.

[MarkoMashja]

3:03

[askl23]

3:57 you change that channel, Jonny.

[TheOneAndOnly674]

There are no other words for it - this is pure genius.

[linkenski]

2:25 i laughed so hard cause i thought it was Thom yelling "aaaaahh"

[MarkoMashja]

best live performance of this song ever !!!

[malagatreez]

That base line is hardwired in my head forever. Fantastically, frantically mad.

[Vininn126]

Thom at 3:02 I WILL EAT YOUR SOUL

[MavcpunK]

i was dancing like a fucking crazy drug addict.... but i dont care.

[Axl24nin]

Dope.



[ryanhancock1234]

[P2ak47]

@ryanhancock1234 had to log in to thumbs up this comment so i may as well reply...

that is the best comment i've ever read really laughed out loud. p.s i'm borrowing your saying

[PainStation3]

I hate the way the singer spazzes out like a retard

[ToServeArmadillo]

@PainStation3

Coming from a guy with the Blink-182 logo as his avatar, this opinion is respectable.

You clearly know music, my friend.

[Theblob516]

1:28 ...YEAH THOM!

[felol53]

better than drugs :)

[TheCollaborationBand]

We just NEED to play this song!

[HeartShapedBox1319]

1:22  =)))

[SoMusic15]

after watching this in full, i'm pretty sure the sun gets its energy from thom yorke. dude's a ball of supernovaexplosioncombusticati­on

[SoMusic15]

this song rocks my gawdamn sawcks.

[Clerks0]

FUCKING JONNY ALWAYS SITTING ON HIS ASS DOING NOTHING WHILE THE WHOLE BAND IS FUCKING STRUGGLING TO PLAY A FUCKING SONG GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER JONNY FOR FUCKING SAKE MAN

[IChrisBallantyneI]

@Clerks0 Are you blind?

[Clerks0]

@IChrisBallantyneI It was a joke, man. Are you stupid?

[payinattention225]

@Clerks0 hahahahahahaha

[billiam301]

wow, Jonny greenwood is the only man I know who can play the TV

[plainolderin]

@billiam301 best comment i've ever read!

[nborges1]

@billiam301

Rupert Murdoch is quite good at playing the TV

[Tommanc1]

@nborges1 hahaha that's brilliant

[jorgepeterbarton]

unexpected mingus rawkus is always a surprise when that baritone sax comes in.

[yomatiaslp]

GREENWOOD!!!!!!

[smcdonough1427]

Brass instruments are the coolest

[certifiedgenius1]

awesome awesome awesome!

[xPsuedo]

WHATS GOIN AWWN

[W78516]

Tom gets so crazy into his music lol. That's a good way :)

[PochoProfeta145]

Jonny is watching TV! that's great!!!!

[Fanchus]

1:29 Epic voice crack of hell

[DylanNutsack]

@gummiman01 That is gonorrhea, bro.

[folken4461]

totaly amazing

[mahavishnuxc]

WHAT A FUCKING DISGRACE. THE REST OF THE BAND IS JAMMING THEIR ASSES OFF ON THIS SONG AND JOHNNY IS FUCKING AROUND WITH THE VCR.

FOCUS MAN, FOCUS!

[W78516]

This song is insane, love it.

[EwingPatric]

1:29

This band sucks. So over rated.

[farizzal]

@EwingPatric his voice cracked. big fucking deal, the rest of the song was fucking amazing. And his vocals are spot on 95% of the time.

[avfcoasis]

@EwingPatric of course because it's so easy to sing a song perfect live without any auto-tuning and without any totally involuntary voice impurities. i forgot.

[EwingPatric]

@avfcoasis Yeah, it's called "Talent".

[squiresuzuki]

@EwingPatric Oh yeah, there was one millisecond of error, it clearly means that they have not talent.

(joking)

[BajuriProduction]

@BBC

Radiohead is bigger than BBC!!!

[billpamp]

hahaha 1:35 ....."im gonna eat these keys!!!!"

[Squibfire]

fuck when those horns comes in just... fuck

[Sunlight70]

@Squibfire People use the word "awesome" a little too much these days. But I don't know how else to describe this performance...

[Squibfire]

@Sunlight70 i feel the need to go get a degree in literature from oxford or harvard so that i can have the vocabulary necessary to explain my feelings about this performance... cause personally the words "fucks" and "awesome" just dont cut it lol

[CatastrophicDisease]

@Squibfire Hah, I feel your pain man.

[deadpoolcloud]

I KNOW I heard this in a trailer for a film or in a movie......any one have any idea where I might have heard this? Please help, it's driving me crazy.

[barbar69]

@deadpoolcloud

a remix of it is used in a dicovery channel ad at the moment.

[BajuriProduction]

@barbar69

yes...DC used this song...

and i believe NGC also did

[milmano]

@gummiman01 and its going to sneeze

[poiuytreza11]

You know what makes me sad ?? If i share this video on facebook no one will appreciate it. God I have to change my friends!!

[linkenski]

@poiuytreza11 You're right. I got 7 likes when i shared it. Satisfactory 8D

[sedgeful]

@poiuytreza11 people! lets give this man a big hug.

[thatemoguy94]

@poiuytreza11 me too D:

[JOSHSNIFF]

@poiuytreza11

i know, my fav by them. 

[soares6000]

@poiuytreza11 so true x)

[AreaCode978]

@poiuytreza11 I know what you mean. All the faggots I hang out with only like "techno" and "house" and crappy hip hop. Disgusts me.

[notiboiboi]

@poiuytreza11 Looks like i gotta change my girlfriend then.

[dvt1393]

@poiuytreza11 I've been posting Radiohead videos for the past couple of weeks, and have gotten almost no appreciation for it... needless to say, I've been thinking the same thing, mate.

[danakerman]

These guys take their music seriously. They are totally committed to the moment and to creating art. Love em or hate em, you gotta respect em. And I love em.

[Wan0ThraX]

one of their best songs!!!

[dannup1]

hahahah que buen gallo en 1:28 XD

aun asi se la rifa cantando en vivo :}

[nariel82unfold]

That was such an assault to my ears and goddamn, I love it!

[mikeayurveda]

The Ayurveda Cover of this song is amazing. you need to check it out.

search

Ayurveda Grassroots

[cbr0oks]

@mikeayurveda agreed, ayurveda cover of this is RIDICULOUS.

[megatahu01]

He kinda looks like my old geometry teacher.

[sbennett14]

Thom Yorke is one mad maestro!

[censorshipisthedevil]

I think I just died. Died both literally and with the additional undertones acquired from 16th and 17th century poetical metaphor.

[UnholyMan122]

this video is 4:20 in length... I'll smoke a bowl to that!

[crabfaced]

@UnholyMan122

haha no way, i smoked a bowl during this and didn't even realise that.

back to the music though.... wow. love how differently this song is performed by them very time

[MicrophoneFarmer]

Thom looks ridiculously like Edward Furlong in this.

[censorshipisthedevil]

@MicrophoneFarmer That's my fantasy.

[batobatticelli]

Top of the line ..!

[odogc]

i do love this, but i lol'd slightly at 1 29

[odogc]

fucken love that ondes martenot

[crazygood876]

great catchy beat

[drjay473]

[Maynard0504]

at the end thom is like: epic face. epic face. epic face. JIZZ IN MY PANTS!

[bubblepopelictric]

this song is so much better live

[xvlk77n]

@bubblepopelictric I've been realizing a lot of them are

[jicsin]

@nyamcz 

[nyamcz]

@jicsin what exactly @ me?

[McLeod1703]

lol tom at the end!!!! hahaha that guy is amazing many call him crazy, i call him genius

[deplanetiser]

@McLeod1703 *thom

[ericclapton00]

@McLeod1703 The line is thin.

[mrdylanja]

@McLeod1703 Genius = knowing that you're crazy and embracing it.

[samwel21]

@McLeod1703

just TRY and imagine being that guy directly in the front, with thom yorkes craazzzzy self staring you DIRECTLY IN THE FACE!!!

!!!!!!!0.0!!!!!!

[MrNeyus]

@McLeod1703 he seems crazy but people don't realize the music that radiohead makes... thom yorke picks it up like nobody usually can..

As for me on the other hand their music DOES make me want to dance like thom yorke. I feel like its defined that way.

[greattrash]

Cuando se dio cuenta de que lo estaban viendo apago la tele enseguida JAJA

[greattrash]

jonny greenwood se hacia pendejo con los efectos, estaba viendo TV jajaja

[kingcam0775]

I love Thom Yorke, the man dances just like me.

[gomitalove]

oh! siempre me han fascinado los movimientos de yorke, es un tipazo!

[classiccandle27]

Wow, what a frenzy of musical harmonization! Kudos to the brass instruments, and last but not least the guy in the front.

[soypedro3]

son unos MAESTROS!!!

radiohead rules...

[gomitalove]

siiiii!

[mailman01562]

good god that was incredible. please come back to the u.s. soon

[nyamcz]

[tbzeee]

pretty good substitute for the SNL clip where you can clearly see jonny playing the ondes and messing with all his gadgets. but of course that one's copyrighted. thanks NBC.

[Zeokoz]

indeed, and the SNL performance is just amazing...

[svepe123]

is that Nigel Godrich playing with them?

[dimmiedrummer]

So many sounds at the same time!

Epic!

[jmcgoo]

Each brass instrument is playing an individual solo.

[mrdylanja]

2:02

Flirt with 'em Thom!

[degree7]

Holy shit 03:03, that was fucking awesome.

[zerochance01]
