Radiohead - Down By the River (Neil Young cover)

[eraye9]

Wow. Thank you.

[julyarchives]

What a great cover

[thesimonginks]

my favourite part was the inaudible conversations in a foreign language I couldnt understand which drowned out the actual song I clicked to listen to

[ufricchetton]

@thesimonginks they're speaking italian (with a north-western accent)

[AlainBradette]

This song has speacking people cant hear the music

[Bigsbeee]

What a great fucking band..check out their 'On the Beach' cover too.

[LilOrphanFunkhauser]

These fucking idiots didn't even react when they started playing this?? I'd be going fucking ballistic!!! They clearly don't know how lucky they are.

[cknollmeyer]

when was this?

[MsFrenchPetal]

mos def worth the listening.

[editorinchimp]

My favorite band covering my favorite Neil Young song? Unreal.

[Wargoat6]

Damn, this is awful.

[docnom]

fuck people's talking don't leave me hear the song

[NDB1790]

lol nice sounds like they combined it with Breathe by Pink Floyd

[schavira]

@NDB1790 Same chords. That's something I learned a couple years back when I figured both out on guitar.

[NDB1790]

@schavira Oh, I know, I play guitar, too, but the feel is reminiscent of Breathe as well. I wouldn't surprised if that's what they were going for, especially since both tunes came out around the same time.

[OnlyVideoGuyOnEarth]

@NDB1790 Or Time, which has a similar sound

[NDB1790]

@OnlyVideoGuyOnEarth Similar sound, but that's the cohesive nature of the album's sound. Time's in F#m, if I'm not mistaken.

[NDB1790]

@OnlyVideoGuyOnEarth Actually you may have something here... Down By The River and Breathe are in E Dorian which is also known as D major. F#m is also known as A major. A major is the dominant key of D major. Your comment holds weight, musically. :P

[mglongman]

what the fuck.... damn talkers

[siconauta69]

it sucks

[MIKEDURSTEWITZ]

Anyone ever hear Roy Buchanan's cover? It's just as magic as this.

[wigle666]

@MIKEDURSTEWITZ

i did :)

[psychobollox]

no. no reason to listen to this.

but the archaeological value is immense.

and this is what this recording is. archaeaology.

well done :)

[1eburns]

i like it !

the bad quality make it better the cover,

so radiohead

:D

[paranoidandroid3232]

for all the haters towards Radiohead on this. Its obviously taken from a sound check, where their clearly just F'n around

[IAINoodle]

did i hear some midlanders talking at the start?

[BLAGASPANTS]

Fuck the lot of ya.

[11xzxzxz]

Again Radiohead has so little heart showing in their own songs it's good to know that Neil Young brings out their heart. Radiohead is normally overproduced and mediocre and should take a lesson from Neil and sound live instead of stilted.

[DOTTYROSETORUNSKI]

@11xzxzxz what's the point of doin another 'nearly' identicle cover ..................an this doesn't even go near the origonal studio version in any sort of passion.....radio head stick to what you do best...ur own tunes

[11xzxzxz]

@DOTTYROSETORUNSKI What is your point in even responding to my blog? I have first amendment rights and I can write what I feel on Youtube. I would not expect a cover to be nearly identical and you missed my point completely.

Reread my post and see if you can be more analytical and thoughtful about what I was writing. If you can't do it then you would appear to be lacking analytical skills and so I would appreciate it if you don't bother me again.

[11xzxzxz]

@11xzxzxz I don't mean to sound sanctimonious, sorry. I also just viewed at your songs you have on your site and I like your taste in music more than most... good luck.

[gillnackel248]

@11xzxzxz did you just say hail to the thief, in rainbows, amnesiac, kid a, and ok computer all mediocre...............

go home dude

[11xzxzxz]

@gillnackel248 I really haven't listened to a lot of their stuff, but everything I do except "creep" doesn't get my attention, OK comrade? And I do have diverse taste in music as you can see from my thousand of videos. Going home .. wasn't that by 10 Years After? What is your favorite song or 2 and I will see if I like 'em.

[MtSiredneck]

whats wrong with kids now days its all about being there insted of the music now days. rember goin in ur room and just listaning to the record and nothing else.

[templeofcoy]

Who the fuck would talk during this???

I would have told them to shut the fuck up.

[dangtang707]

stop talking you fuckers

[HartyD9]

thom can cover neil its allowed

[JFLD02186]

it's har-vad'...in bawstin

[KidHum]

damn... I wish Radiohead toured more. and for cheaper.

[iRECKONER]

Yep too bad it's not Radiohead making thier damn tickets so expensive. It's the demand. I would drop all I have (I've done that several times) on pit tickets. Best money I've ever spent.

[trojanpony]

@KidHum I agree they should tour more, but their ticket prices are actually amazingly reasonable for a band of their stature. They could charge double would that they do and still sell out easily.

[trojanpony]

@KidHum Their ticket prices are actually really reasonable for a band of their stature. They could charge double what they do and still sell out easily.

[CatorsCinema]

@KidHum

Yeah the ticket prices are exuberant all right ! ! cost me 70 euro to see them on Dublin in 07 witch was a WAY too much concidering there was 30,000 ppl there

[dom19876]

ignorance is a small comment on a t shirt? its the people chatting in the recording i cant stand.

[vacance]

it's HARVARD .. duh.

[Fraguccino]

Is Thom Yorke wearing a Nirvana tee-shirt in that picture?

[radiohead419]

Ha ha nice observation there, but i do believe it says harvard due to the font and other reason i guess

[alienamnesiac]

Too bad these ignorant people that can't stop talking don't appreciate the rare and amazing gift they are being given. Radiohead covering Neil Young? Everyone should be in complete silence just soaking it up, it's amazing.

[archivement]

Well said my friend.

Ignorance is all around us.

[HeyJaw]

I know I saw them at their first show in the States in '08 (I think) in West Palm and people would not shut the hell up. Then I kept falling because the lights were giving me something akin to epileptic fits because I smoked three blunts to fast and not very far apart - not by myself with only one other. It was fun though. Apart from the falling three times per song.

[Obiwannabe]

you sir are an idiot

[nagylaszlo71]

@alienamnesiac: STOP WHISPERING ,-)))

[spenserrr]

@alienamnesiac muthafuckin WORD!

[dedoc64]

@alienamnesiac i agree they did damn good at neil to.

[boogiemaam]

@alienamnesiac YES YES YES. This is like when my husband said " When I was 15 in 1974, I went and saw Led Zeppelin at The Swing Auditorium in San Bernardino" Me: "what was it like?" Dumb Husband: "I dont remember a thing. I was really high"..Idiot...

[ObamaObamaObamaObama]

An admirable performance.

[allbearsrule]

OK, here's the info if you'd like to add it to the video description:

It was played during the SOUNDCHECK 2003-07-07, Bergamo, ITALY (which explains the shaky quality of a recording ;-) )

[ulfgj]

that sounded quite weird now when they had earthquakes... :)

[glooby142]

OMG - where is this from?!

[pabst33]

thom yorkes voice is one of a kind
