Early Climbing Up The Walls (Premiere 1996-08-14)

[Alternativerealm]

3 of the greatest rock songs in history premiered at this concert. karma police, paranoid android, and this..

[jimimyhero]

My chest hurts.

[dgester]

god the way thom yorke uses his voice in that way is the most expressive i've ever heard. been listening to this song for 14 years now. amazing.

[Nirvaaanaa]

Omg! This song sounds exactly like "lamb of god" by mariln manson! But this was writen earlier :)

[MRMATRONIC]

bloody hell, i'm surprised his guitar survived that beating!!!

[victorbanner]

when i saw them in toronto in 05 he used some of these lyrics

[werenotscaremongerin]

we must keep this performance secret. keep it safe.

[redboneashes]

Crap and this was 96??? Amazing!

[cynthiailly]

wow...that was fantastic. thom's vocals are really amazing in this version, love it.

[microwaveparty]

"but you don't care..." I do.

[Toccor]

god bless me :'(

[justicedoubleu]

and either way i turn this is there ever since, man this is the gratest most genius piece i've ever heard, this song always hurts me so much, creepy

[doobeedoob]

unbelievable performance. thanks for sharing it!

[Rawk10]

I want to know Jonny's equipment when he was using to make that high-pitched, creepy guitar sounds at the first of video.

[Paulineuuh]

Someone has to tab this version, this is the best piece of music I've ever seen.

[fenderacolyte]

climb up the... wells?

[hannibalsloat]

Christ...How did thom go from writing crap like pop is dead to this in three years? Genius

[RQRMIC]

i like "pop is dead"....

but "climbing up" is The song.

[KarmaPaym3ntPlan]

How could anyone go from writing Pop is dead to this in a life time?

[missflierg]

@KarmaPaym3ntPlan I don´t know, and I still can´t explain that. They are just brilliant, I don´t have any other response to that.

Excelent version, thanks for sharing!!!

[fenderacolyte]

hey don't mess with the classics XD

[WillsMP92]

@hannibalsloat Dude, pop is dead was decent. I'm willing to concede that its not in the same league as this, but still. Bearing in mind that Radiohead were still a post punk band at that stage...

[hannibalsloat]

@WillsMP92 I don't know man, I became a Radiohead fan shortly after the bends was released, and even in those days I couldn't take to Pablo Honey, or anything from that era. Just not my cup of tea, I guess. But as a starting point, and for that particular style, I'll admit, it was decent material, just not for me. Though, the second I heard OK Computer I knew I was listening to a landmark album. I never looked back after that. What do you think of The King Of Limbs?

[igorchillipeppers123]

@hannibalsloat heeeeey i like pop is dead

[pulpapple]

big thankyou to who ever posted this.

[BabyFaze900]

OMFG! I actually cried while watching this..

[XxCHUTEtoKILLxX]

Radiohead songs will do that too you .

[WREX82]

God I love this band!!!

[SimMaster]

oh so a bass synthesizer is what that sick sound is

[bowyer56]

bugger me how long does thom hold those two notes at the end

[googenshlagen]

"This song features the artist formely known as Colin on the Bass synthesizer....you don't care, but we do."

hahaha, oh Thom.

[Ghostymp]

pretty early one

[negativecreep90]

i wonder if the guitar slam was used for the recording as well, i do shit like that all the time they must have far better pickups than i so im sure it would sound better as well

[Capitaineefface]

Is that a protect choice sticker I see?

What a guy.

Really good, that was awesome, and Jonnys headphones were really charming.

[fearsomestmoocow]

Mind=blown

[TheDistorted]

Fucking devastating.

[Vale92]

... whoa...

[falsehead]

I don't think they were ready for this. They are ahead of their time. Spine Chilling song.

[TomPiltoff]

ARM BRACE

[YellowEagle]

wow,this just made me cry. thank you so much for putting this up

[Paulineuuh]

I nerver think I could love even more my favourite song of all times. Thank you for the vid!

[RadioheadSpanish]

That last two "climb up the walls" have just became one of my favourite Thom moments, what a voice (L)

[yorkewelcome]

just because he doesnt sing this song as well now perhaps... (a point for that could be made i guess) ... doesnt mean his voice has gotten even better than this! listen to reckoner especially - i'd say his voice has gotten better and more mature - lost the somewhat whiny quality it has here

[theleo2004]

Yeah, the somewhat whiny thing was kinda bad in 1996~1998.

But the unchangeable fact is that his voice is FUCKING GOOD.

[petrunic1]

isn't this just amazing and beautiful...

[camilinhaz]

Thanks very much! I never heard this version of the song! And Thom spanking the guitar. Amazing!

[LLZamenhoff]

Thanks for this, really awesome
