Radiohead - Paranoid Android [Glastonbury 2003]

Radiohead, at Glastonbury Festival in 2003, playing "Paranoid Android".



By 2003 most people had accepted the idea that it was no longer possible to crash the festival and hence it is recognised as one of the most successful years to date. The number of tickets available to the public was increased slightly over 2002, partially in response to criticism that the 2002 festival was underpopulated and lacked atmosphere. The tickets sold out within one day of going on sale, in marked contrast to the two months it took to sell a similar number in 2002. It was also the first year that tickets sold out before the full lineup was announced.

This was also the year Radiohead returned to headline the Pyramid Stage.

Revenue raised for good causes from ticket and commercial licence sales topped £1 million, half of which went to Oxfam, Greenpeace and Water Aid.

Bloody hell people, please stop arguing over the internet. Muse are talented. Radiohead are VERY talented. Both make great music. If you are watching this video you are here to appreciate RADIOHEAD. Right now all I want to do is appreciate some RADIOHEAD. After this is done, I may well and go and enjoy some of Muse's stuff. But for now, SHUT UP BITCHING OVER THE FUCKING INTERNET AND ENJOY SOME QUALITY MUSIC.

Agreed. Just chill out and enjoy the music.

@stickysappy "You don't remember, you don't remember, why don't you remember my name?" (then it's "off with his head", man instead of "you don't remember") :)

@slappadabassist Yea, but not it's not so distinct that you'd notice.

[slappadabassist]

@cecinestpasunename later in the song, it switches to 7/8

i dont believe how a band can make a song so COMPLICATED. its up there with bohemian rhapsody (sorry if i spelled it wrong) for GROUNDBRAKING songs.

just listen to every little note, half-bend, percussion item, harmonies, different sections, guitars used, bass lines, drum beat, and the whole vibe to the song!!!

there are few songs that can become this extrodinary and still stand out as a classic. this isnt the last we hear of Paranoid Android!
