Thom Yorke -Radiohead- Reckoner at The Age Of STuPid premiere 2009-09-21

[fruitylalaland16]

Thom Yorke is fucking incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[youreviltwin26]

Nobody can play Radiohead like Radiohead. Only they can do what they do. Rule of the Universe.

[johnupday]

supremo

[nem3sics]

didn't get his last sentence of that mini interview at the end....somebody understood it?

[Ginsu2k]

Only a few people in this universe can not only sing this song acoustically...but also leave the crowd in hushed silence while doing it.

[jebman18]

Best song offa in IN Rainbows

[ASDJFHVGADJHBDAVHBAV]

Incredible ,thanks for posting . love from Ireland

[googenshlagen]

In Rainbows is fucking beautiful.

[stackerdeck]

Fuckin' A

[yeahyeahyaha2]

can sum1 tell me, the things thom wears in the ears i know they are so he can hear himself better, but what are they microphones with the sound of his voice or just ear-lids, cause i press one of my ear so i can tune my voice too

what are they¿¿''''??'

[TheLordHodne]

I imagine this is close to impossible to sing. Don't think many can actually do it, but Thom can of course

[united22]

@TheLordHodne not that hard, it's just falsetto

[multieatmyshorts2010]

i think Thom Yorke is the master of falsetto.

[peopleintrees]

people who love radiohead have taste.

[GoZebraGo]

@peopleintrees I agree!!!!!!!!!!

[Lafayettebluesman]

@peopleintrees Why thank you, sir! (or madam)

[101commentary]

In Rainbows changed my life as far as musical perception is concerned

[wwjd9324]

woa

[Charlieepy]

radiohead's awesome musical talents undermines their lyrical prowess

[redrumPole]

people saying that In Rainbows is a bad album must be deaf.

[padjo909]

@redrumPole who says in rainbows was bad????

[redrumPole]

@padjo909 you'd be surprised how many people... which is really sad

[liamoshoro]

@padjo909 i think the fact it was released free has given the impression to people that it mustn't be a "real" album....which is a downright lie - ot's my favorite

[MyBeardisGood]

@redrumPole People have said In Rainbows is BAD?!?! I don't believe that in any way. In Rainbows was a godsend for Radiohead fans!

[redrumPole]

@MyBeardisGood yeah, i've seen lots of criticism on the album... in fact In Rainbows is one of the best things Radiohead ever made

[OlympiaOverdrive]

Clearly a fangirl squeak in the crowd at 0:09 when he's adjusting his ear thing.

That would have been me xD

[allbearsrule]

nah

only the causes he believes in and has been talking about for the past 10 yrs

[Annaa97]

@vicprobey Bar mitzvahs? Honestly, this and a bar mitzvah have nothing to do with each other.

[lankeyjb202]

@vicprobey doing bar mitzvahs is the most indie thing a musician can do. JEWS

[meatybeard]

anyone know what brand/model guitar Thom is playing?

[thyy]

i miss you...thom.

i was there in your live show one year ago.

did you still remember me?

the one who kept on waving her bottle in the show.

[jabbapotamus]

HAHAAHAHAAHAHAAHHAHAAHAHAHAHHA­AH

[bodysnatchers324]

I think his falsetto got better as he got older, his voice has changed to fit thier music, they are always jumping from one sound to another, he changes his voice, I love it!!!!!!

[OlympiaOverdrive]

he is looking good at the moment ;)

[MrLeebee72]

if i was there . i'd probably of cried . . . beautiful thom

[biachan4]

Thom`s comments always make me smile :)

[thyy]

his speech makes me smile a lot...when i am really sad in my house,.

[virgallagher]

he´s such a beautiful creature

[articatheist17]

he's a living legend, he's the best, it's thom yorke

[brvhrt301]

anyone who says thom's voice got worse as he got older can go suck a fat cock as far as im concerned

[allbearsrule]

well, the comments I've seen were that last summer he sounded worse for some part of that endless tour - but, also, that this year's gigs he's been absolutely rocking. And I can testify to that :-) BTW, have you heard really HQ audio from the LA gigs last week? Lotus Flower? STUNNING! absolutely breathtaking.

[brvhrt301]

haha when i went to the in rainbows tour at susquehanna bank center in new jersey they were amazing as a whole, their live sound is amazing, especially thom's vocals :) best band of all time as far as im concerned lol

[jirdimaster]

Haha his voice got better, what queer said that?

[link899]

@jirdimaster Your mom? OHHHHH.

[jirdimaster]

Hey Joel, why don't u stop pooping ur pants?

[jupis20]

is he singing in falsetto on this song, or is that his normal pitch?

[BitingPixie]

Of course it's falsetto. His normal pitch is quite low (listen to A Wolf at the Door, for comparison).

[roryrandomlyrocks]

A high pitch, regardless of it's normality, would be falsetto.

[koreybishop]

@roryrandomlyrocks Since when? Falsetto vibrates a specific, and different part of your vocal cord. Shut up, high and falsetto are not synonymous.

[roryrandomlyrocks]

I literally have no idea what that is in response to, but I know a bloody lot about the technicalities of vocals, and yes, I do know that too.

[koreybishop]

@roryrandomlyrocks "A high pitch, regardless of it's normality, would be falsetto"

[roryrandomlyrocks]

Oh, right. Sorry there, I actually know that's wrong, no idea why I said that = /. I was mistaken.

[ReVolttttt]

i didn't find anything new in the movie, but this performance is nice

[zebrumera]

oh.. and the movie too.

[zebrumera]

that new hairdo and all.. starts looking like keanu reeves, hahha.

nooot goooood. :))

but that song always kicked ass. :]

[Thiinny]

0:08 ?

I love him

[permanentbliss]

watching "The Age of Stupid" now, found on isohunt

[allbearsrule]

oh! that!s great - I should tell this to my friends who were not able to make it that night.... the move should really go main-screen etc...

[pr0sperus01]

Damn, you get a lot of views! How do you do it?!

[allbearsrule]

hi, I actually was away fro a week, just got back from Europe last night... I think several newsblogs posted it in their various websites - I was told by friends who've seen it at any number of places not realizing it was me till they followed it here. Maybe that's why - I have no idea. I am amazed that there's so few of them, like - a couple?! I am certainly hoping os some SERIOUS coverage from LA this weekend!!!!

[pr0sperus01]

Yeah , I just found out Thom is playing tonight at the echoplex in LA but the tix sold out super fast! Unfortunately, I couldn't get my hands on any. Well, good luck. I'll be watching!

[allbearsrule]

I know - was watching the whole develop - first with the Orpheus dates, then this - my friends were sitting with half a dozen browser windows waiting for a second the tix will go on sale... people are shipping cameras to each other... ;-) and I totally couldnt do another trip right this moment... killing me!

[FinRich24]

the beginning almost sounds like a kid playing guitar, then it all works out lol. Also what happened at the end! sounded like some drama was about to happen.

[MrHuntingWolf]

Thanks Inez :-)

[aortegacristian]

I wonder what is the place where is Thom? said on the page somewhere, but not named. (greetings from Argentina)

[rachfatcat]

Beautiful song, beautiful voice. This man is a genius!

[Lorenzho]

Just completely, absolutely and marvelously..amazing!

[vasder55]

They for sure did a world tour for In Rainbows...I saw them when they came to Vancouver last year. Idiot.

[Terrabithian]

Does anyone know the name of this song? Is there a studio recording of it? Thanks

[sebgeorge77]

The song is called Reckoner and it is on Radiohead's latest album "In rainbows" that came out in 2007. The album version is pretty incredible even though I do like it a lot with just Thom and his guitar.. Enjoy

[apocatie34]

dude it says in the title...RECKONER

[Terrabithian]

O. Thanks. Didn't see that. haha

[apocatie34]

its k lol

[garvie]

i love how he somewhat messes up at the start. he probably did that on purpose too lol. thom yorke = genius.

[kiefhouse]

Mess up purposely in the beginning just to get it out of the way. It's like the opposite of jinxing yourself

[DaIrishGuy]

i ♥ this ♫.

[BerlinIsNotChicago]

need to figure out these chords!

[robotophobia]

visit a guy's profile called "warrenlain" he has great radiohead tutorials indeed

[tkida1007]

Thanks for posting! I attended the screening myself, but in Long Beach, CA. Powerful film, and it was finished off nicely with this performance. I never thought I'd be so excited to see Thom on the big screen as I was that night, haha

[kingping189]

He said: "The concept of liberalist economic growth is now dead."

But wait... is this the same Thom Yorke who just did a major world tour, bagging millions?

Presumably not.

[patluff]

what major tour was that, about 15 dates in out of Europe in the last 2 years?

[jw182]

Pretty sure he said 'limitless', regarding the way we must think about more than just profit and growth when sustaining businesses, nowadays.

[TranceLovingGirl]

Love it Love it Love it! Thom has done it again...with just few words he gave me goosebumps...I'm not even going into his singing---That was just magical! I think he said it the best, when he described majority of people today as being "concerned, but powerless"...I really hope to live to the day when government actually decides to give something back to their people...I mean, REALLY!!! Thanks a lot for sharing---the video is brilliant!!

[coffmantra18]

Renaissance Man, right there.

[AustinBrock]

Beautiful, just beautiful :)!

[pimlottc]

So gifted.

[noahsdaddy400]

Reckoner You can't take it with you Dancing for your pleasure You are not to blame for Bittersweet distractor Dare not speak its name Dedicated to all you all human beings Because we separate like ripples on a blank shore (in rainbows) Reckoner Take me with you Dedicated to all you all human beings

[ThomYorke25]

Love this man *-*

[togaaaa]

can someone transcribe what he said at the end please? thx

[allbearsrule]

that the concept of endless economic growth is now dead... and we have to come up with another plan?? this last bit?

[mrschips]

0:08 :)

Too fucking adorable for words.

[ztoigo]

what did he say?

[mrschips]

He says 'I'm here' and then laughs adorably.

[krishna830]

the most perfect voice i've heard!

[crumblerush93]

love thom xDDDDD

[0liolio]

this guy have dopest voice!

[mikemcpops]

what theater where you at?

[allbearsrule]

New York, Union Square

[myfavegigs]

thanks for posting!!

[kuckoocloud]

He's got his Hollow Earth EP behind him the piano.

Where the fuck was he? And why does that location have to be undisclosed, dammit?

[PekaSnake]

whos Hollow Earth EP? thats something new?

and what he said at the end, something....plan, and who is ed middelman?

[kuckoocloud]

The FeelingPulledApartByHorses/Hol­low Earth EP is a two song EP that Thom just put out a couple days ago.

[sleepyquark]

I guess, Ed Miliband - UK secretary of state for energy and climate change.

[padjo909]

thank you!

[amnesiach]

thank you Inez:)

[vikskywalker]

thnz inezz u rule !!!!

[vitonesbr]

Wow!!!!

Nice video!!!!

Thank you!!!

I´m going to watch today @ Sao Paulo in Conjunto Nacional!!!!

Anyone who will be there msg me!!! ;-)

[NessaVV]

THANK YOU!!! :)

[roxanne77]

** sigh **

[catwomanjean]

go thom go! he was so cute and i am proud he stands up for what he believes in. thanks, allbearsrule!

[bigbootsbigideas]

Thanks for sharing this. Got back from seeing it a couple hours ago. I was nearly alone in the theatre so I got no crowd interaction but I'm glad it was packed over there. Great movie.

[zcheeze]

Thx a lot for posting.... as I have gotten to share it w/friends that did not see it. A highlight of the show for me!

[JaBenny]

thanks for posting this.

i was @ the premiere in l.a.

with Thom. just kidding. hahahahha.

[roxanne77]

Lol! And then you went out for dinner and he serenaded you til the wee-est hours of the morn. ;)

[Verzatille]

You are fast! Just came back from the cinema.

[allbearsrule]

it played 10 min walk from my home, so I up'ed it right away :-) was good to see that all three theatres in town were sold out. But I am hoping that it will get mainscreen viewing sometime...

[cinna100]

allbearsrule, are you Inez from the radiohub? Hi! Can you explain why the movie is playing in the netherlands this evening at 19.00, while you have already seen it? I thougt today was "the day"?? And did you film this in the cinema??

[allbearsrule]

yep, that's me - shhh ;-)

I am really confused why the date/time in Europe is different. I guess US/Canada east coast are the only ones getting it live - cause our event was right here - downtown. And they interviewed the guy in the UK in the discussion after the show who says it was close to 3AM there - which is exactly the time it should have been....

[cinna100]

Hmm...strange. Anyways, I'm still trying to get tix for tonight's play. Cross your fingers! I never realised it was going to be a one-time play. I thought I would go and see the movie some time this week, until I saw your link on the hub this morning. (It's 9 am right now here). Silly me:)

[chaoslynn]

time to come up with another plan indeed.

[Ricardoyorke]

wow INEZ!!! thank so much for sharing this!!!

you are the best!!!

thank again!!
