Radiohead, The Tourist, OK Computer LIVE December 19, 1997

[nutgobbler100]

Thome nails that first chorus

[dougplatypus]

OKC is still my favourite album, but it's amazing to see how far the band has come since the days when things were still guitar driven. No complaints, though, and Jonny is an absolute legend... just saying what an incredible journey it's been. :) Wonder when the rest of the rock world will catch up to Radiohead? Could be decades!

[pumex15]

Great song jonny!!!

[TheOnionVampire]

There are three types of Radiohead fan:

The one's who like Creep,

the one's who love Fake Plastic Trees, Street Spirit and No Surprises,

...and those who crave moments like this <3

[tripperthe]

i don't get it. Why do people love these guys so much? I seriously don't get it. It just reminds me of a better version of Coldplay.

[cicaesp2]

@tripperthe its johnny, mainly. also colin. watch some of their new shit, esp the from the basement stuff you'll like it.

[MetalHeadFilipeG96]

@tripperthe

well, theyre also the most innovative and creative band ever, they completely change their style in each album and always make it perfect

[lasmatriz]

cant be more satisfied with ur comment definitely the most innovative and creative from all times!

[bbelem1987]

man ... its so gooooood to listen this after a long time and remember how awesome radiohead is

[radioheadlover100]

2 people were not slow down

[etejuanete3]

wanna know why Jonny is a genius? because he composed his one

[Sm3gH3adx]

this song has just reminded me of something very profound, it's time to go outside now and spend a lovely day with my friends

[cintiasm]

The song is a orgasm!

[hoihiugufufy]

Thom thinking: *Cry* Nine years ago we was just guys with dreams that people said "you will never get it". Now look where we are.

[Nirvaaanaa]

SLOW DOWN

[sjuan22]

Insuperables

[ChablesMan]

Anyone else wonder why Thom's upside down at 1:14?

[meekz111192]

Thom Yorke, you wonderful human being :')

[psycholoOser94]

Omg... I just can say.. :'(

[09livvy09]

Jonny wrote this one

[Grownsviesa]

You see that one dislike? Thats Miley Cyrus

[JoshUnderscoreGlenn]

Wow. I did not want this to end. These guys truly are biblical.

[lufc550]

Jonnys best solo

[blackbeltbrown]

anything radiohead does is amazing

[liamarioeire]

Amazing song. Helps me sleep everytime. That's a compliment ;-)

[luciola70]

Thom starts Ian Curtis-ing out at the end, that spooked me. I listen to this when feel like I'm about to have an anxiety attack. Musical medicine works. <3

[TheDuskwhales]

ok ed's backing vocals on this are huge

[akmhkm]

:'(

[nicolaslupano]

this is beautiful

[jkreizer1]

best band of the last 25 years

[patluff]

woah 13 years ago today....

[allbearsrule]

@patluff OMG! You are right!!

[fuckyiuyiu]

In 30 years time, people will be looking at this song like we do comfortably numb by pink floyd

[TheRockandroy]

@fuckyiuyiu or even higher.

[BuddyWillis]

thx for this the quality is alot better than the other original one that was on here

[Napoleon99563]

There's so much emotion in his style of singing. I FRIGGIN LOVE IT!!!!!

[cynthiailly]

that is very beautiful

[bossanoga0123]

Oh, this is the best performance of Tourist, the whole OKC DVD is a pure magic, very special. Thanx for putting it in here. Greets from Neon :)

[XmissXalyssX]

1 dislike? wtf.

[cynthiailly]

@XmissXalyssX that one person is in a mental hospital and is violently schizephrenic

[alvin156]

It barks at no-one else but me, like it's seen a ghost. I guess it's seen the sparks a-flowin, no-one else would know. Hey man, slow down, slow down, idiot, slow down, slow down. Sometimes I get overcharged, that's when you see sparks. They ask me where the hell I'm going? At a 1000 feet per second, hey man, slow down, slow down, idiot, slow down, slow down. Hey man, slow down, slow down, idiot, slow down, slow down.

[illyriaperry]

so cute with jonny at the end making him bow!

[Raziax4]

(sharp, rapid intakes of breath...!  tears appear.. ) this is how i felt.. GOD i love Radiohead and this song!! This is their best performance.. :)

[jpmwolf91]

this band is just so fucking great i cant even stand it dude.

[Petiber]

Jonny Greenwood is awesome. Amazing solo.

[pauldve]

I like it when Ed sings with Thom he should do it more.

[TehWinnerz]

@pauldve I really hope theres more of that on LP8!

[btaylor87]

this performance is completely perfect! How do they do that?!

[lindseeyysizzle]

ahhh butterflies everyy time

[OdogtownO]

Where can i download this live show????

[snortjeff631]

OHHH BILLYYYYYYY

[liamm5687]

Man that guitar solo was wack. I love Johnny <3

[andrewjcmillar]

the perfect ending to imo the best album ever made

[anpaol2]

I thought was the only one who cried to this song, you're not alone Thom.

[brenchen]

@anpaol2 i'll admit i cried when i heard them play this when i saw them in 08

[Lin1998radio]

this is the best song that i hear, this song remember me to me

[MitchGettman]

Wow... Amazing permormance.

It was great to see Thom do some shredding on the solos.

[PearlJammer07]

Thom was not shredding. That was Johnny lol.

[radiohead1994]

Real art.

[Equint77]

Ok Computer changed my life... I changed my taste in music because of this album.

I discovered them in 97 and as I listened to the album I got hooked and went out and bought EVERYTHING they ever recorded. As it stands I have nearly 250 radiohead songs on my itunes spanning every album with nearly ever B-side as well as thier manic hedgehog demo when they were still On A Friday.

[PearlJammer07]

My question to you is this. Do you own the physical albums? MP3's just do not cut it when it comes to listening to this band. The production quality is nothing short of amazing. When heard on CD or Vinyl record.

[quickaskzoey123]

@PearlJammer07 i fully agree, i had a few of their albums downloaded but i have since gone out and bought these albums

[timro1979]

are radiohead the last genuine musicians?

[OceanAndSilence]

there's plenty around dude, they're just not as famous, or not famous at all.

[davemorphine]

@OceanAndSilence or not genuine at all :-)))

[theironprince]

Yes. I think, this bands born one time in many years..!

[TehWinnerz]

@timro1979 oh please!! Have you listened to any music other than what is played on tv? Check out some Steve Lehman :)

[MilesG102]

@timro1979 I would never say they were the last genuine musicians. Time has a gorgeous way of filtering out the crap music. People just don't remember the shit from past decades because well... why would they?

[sidobeef]

@timro1979 Wilco do a pretty stellar job.

[annettecls]

Thom, are you really crying??? Finally! He routinely sings with such passion and intensity that I've often wondered how gets through a set without a single tear because I know that I could not. Well, now I feel validated.

[gonzof]

im in love with that starcaster

[bubblepopelictric]

i love in rainbows.. but i do prefer ok computer i really wouldn't mind if they went back to that sound.. just for a couple more new songs like this.

[profglavin]

This song is why that "best of" EMI released was so rubbish - why leave one of Radiohead's best songs off and then have the nerve to call it a "best of". Epic, yet understated at the same time. Pure magic.

[Goal558pwnage]

i love how they took tone of ed's gouitar parts and put it on nude

[bodysnatchers324]

THANK YOU!!!!! I thought I was the only one that made that connection!!!!!

[Goal558pwnage]

you go to hell

[blackbeltbrown]

@Goal558pwnage HUH???

[zerochance01]

whoa...

[soadfreak8888]

This concert was played on me and my twin brothers 3rd birfday.

[alebohemio]

This song is incredible. Where can I download this video?? Please help.

[karmavictim98]

Wow, it actually looks as though jonny hasn't changed a bit since then. I've watched a hell of a lot of these videos and been in the front row for two radiohead gigs and I have never seen Jonny greenwood's face. Just the hair

[cancerparty]

Thanks so much for posting, I've never seen this played live before. Or I'm too drunk to remember.

[alebohemio]

this song is amazing!! I really love it!!!

next month I'll see Radiohead live in Buenos Aires!!! I'm very happy...

[letrasblues]

that's great

eso estará realmente bueno

I would like to see them in the next tour...

[vulgates]

yo los vi en Tampa, Fl, Amazing!

ojala fueran algunas vez a venezuela... pero alla la gente es muy hueca..

[tommykillslance]

what's is a starcaster?

[darkburnout00]

they're the piece of shit guitars you buy near the PS3 games at Target

[ztoigo]

theres 2 versions of a starcaster for some reason

there are the ones like darkburnout00 said and then there is the one that jonny plays. i dunno why they have the same name, cause they look and sound completely different

[Belgarath314]

Such a great upload :D

thank you !

[chasedawayagain]

That solo was incredible.

[jeanforthewin]

the big descending chord change at the start is one of the greatest things in music

like the four note guitar bit in 'shine on you crazy diamond' by pink floyd

[tlng13]

my fav radiohead song, thx

[seanman86]

Wow!, not much more that can be said really.

[Conero08]

Are starcaster's like Jonny's easy to get? I FUCKIN WANT ONE!!

[rubenikhaatjouook]

No they aren't easy to get. I hate that. I want one too. But there is one thing that makes me even more angry. In the musicvideo for Human bij The Killers you can see the guitarist uses one too with his ugly hands. '76 Starcasters are only for Gods. But if you really want one. It is possible. You can buy then second-hand but they won't e cheap because the people who sell them know that they are rare.

[Conero08]

thanx man. So true what you say about the Killers. i think its confusing cos apparently there's a form of stratocaster that now goes under the starcaster name, which is just fuckin ridiculous. i have yet to see one in any guitar shop!

[rubenikhaatjouook]

Yeah man, I've seen one of those new ones. They are cheap and they shouldn't be sold. I think the best thing to do is getting people to send messages to fender that they should start producing those old starcasters again. I mean there are so many people who want one and the sound is great (I'm not just saying this because I love Radiohead).

[darkburnout00]

you mean stratocasters right??

[rubenikhaatjouook]

No man. I mean Starcasters. I think the one you mean is the new one. The new starcaster. I'm talking about the old one, the one Jonny uses in this video. The new one is a variation on the stratocaster. you're right, the new ones should be forbidden:P. When they start producing those old ones again (and I hope they will) I will buy one immediatly.

[flopy8891]

wow :O, i thought about it, but, when i saw ed and thom smiling.. xD

thanks =P

[flopy8891]

is he really crying?

[allbearsrule]

it WAS a very intense gig. So.... yeah.

[RadioheadSnatcher]

very intense...

[TheDanSandwich]

I love that song.

Also, what kind of guitar is Jonny playing?

[RadioheadGuitar]

jonnys playing a fender starcaster

[buzzbigwig730]

This is Radiohead's most underrated song. One of the best vocal performances ever, up there with Love Reign O'er Me and Pearl Jam's Release Me.

[billyradiohead]

its cause jonny wrote it, we like it casue jonny rules, but other people jsut dont get it!

[spilogan]

Yo quiero boletosssssssssssssss

Sniff Sniff

[Floydera]

what a beautiful version

[hartwro]

wow impresionante!

[immerseyersoulinlove]

omg.. I have never seen Thom cry :o

[kimmiefae]

you are an awesome woman!

[isaactroth]

yes mate. whack em all up!

[allbearsrule]

I up'ed Fake Plastic Trees, Paranoid Android, Exit Music, No Surprises - a whole bunch... so they are all on page ;-)

[isaactroth]

nice one, appreciate it.

[englishmuffein]

That would be freaking awesome if you put up some of the other songs from this gig. It was pretty much this video that really got me into OK computer

[allbearsrule]

ok... I was trying to avoid duplicates, but at this point, I got a real high qualityrecording of it, so I will upload some more next week. thanks ;-)

[RadioheadSnatcher]

Wow ! that just takes my breath away !

[smallchocolatebunnie]

Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

[manlardjr]

Thank you so much for putting this up!

[allbearsrule]

hi all - if anyone really wants to see other songs from this gig (It is OKC, in sequence), please drop me a note. I may not do it instantly, but I'll do my best to find the time.
