That part of the movie never made sense to me. Johnny B Goode came out in 1958, 3 years after 1955. So it would still be those same teenagers at the school dance that would like it, not their kids. You know?
@mr.mysterious7940 the kids at the dance did like the song. the movie shows like two full minutes of everyone liking the song. the part they didn't like was his electric guitar solo. i don't think there's any way to be confused after actually watching the scene; you've gotta just be seeing the meme and vaguely remembering what was happening in the scene without remembering the solo
12 years ago I got sent to California State Prison for drug possession . When the bus pulled up to Delano State Prison and we were waiting at the electric fences to get cleared to come inside. I remember singing in my head this song especially the part when he said, “What the hell am I doing here. I don’t belong here.” The bus driver at the moment turned up the music on the radio and this song was playing. I knew right there and then that this was going to be my last time ever in prison. That was 12 years ago and I’m proud to say that I’ve been crime free ever since and clean and sober. My name is Jon G and I’m a very grateful recovering drug addict. Thank you for letting me share.
My wife works at a drug rehab facility and I work in mental health. I can say from personal experience that there is not enough support or understanding from non users in the community and this makes your accomplishment that much more impressive. Keep up the good work buddy, and here's to hoping that things improve to help others improve their situation.
Also since Conan archives can't show musical guests because of the many layers of music rights ownership, makes me wonder how they were able to show this clip now!! GO CONAN!!!
I saw them in LA. At first we bought 2 tickets on the street at the Palace and 1 was fake. We were poor but we bought a 3rd ticket. $300 to see them in 1993 or so - - - bad sound system - Great band ❤
he was getting drunk every night & being a douche to the guys ...there are interviews this old where he discusses leaving radiohead & going solo after this tour.
what's interesting about 'creep' is that in the earlier performances thom uses all his strength to hold the high note at the climax of the song, you can see him struggling with this a bit, but every other time he did the scream more and more effortlessly. mind-blowing voice
His vocal range is off the charts. In my opinion if I had to pick only 2 singers that I thought were the best of the best in my lifetime hands down it would be Layne Staley and Thom Yorke.
90% of it probably. The whole song is very niche at first (prior to it becoming a popular mainstay song I mean), and his voice seems 'questionable' with cracks and whines here and there. But once he hits that note, you realize it's all very carefully deliberate and that he can really belt clear/melodic notes when he needs to and that changes your entire perception of what's going on.
Radiohead as your first musical guest. To say "this aged well" is an understatement. I think I watched this when it was first broadcast, but uncertain.
I would have to say that the performance was sooo real, sooo devastating to the hearer... That as Conan approached Yorke at the end...he actually appeared frightened, shaken And I imagine some audience members were, also
It's so amazing to see Radiohead in such an early stage of their career. At this point, they still appear moldable and look slightly vulnerable, maybe unsure in some ways. I love this performance so much. This is a gem. It's crazy that it's the first performance on Conan's show too.. Stars aligned. Literally and figuratively.
This is the first time I’ve actually heard the original songwriters perform their song. This brought me to an entirely new level then i have been before listening to others renditions.
I would have to say that the performance was sooo real, sooo devastating to the hearer... That as Conan approached Yorke at the end...he actually appeared frightened, shaken And I imagine some audience members were, also

2:28 I don't know why, but at that particular, specific moment, the part reminds me of the good times I had back when I was a kid, going home at 9pm from extra classes, and chill myself out with some television shows on Disney channel or Cartoon Network
Damn, his sheepish body language and awkwardness at the end when Conan comes back shows this song really came from the heart. I’m sure it was therapeutic to sing such a vulnerable song back when they first came out with it.
3:02 That monotone RUUUUUUUUN is so subtly different from the album and all other performances of Creep I've seen, but it is truly unique and really brings it to another level.
I hope Jonny Greenwood has recovered. To think, this was band was close to being a one-hit wonder with this song. Pablo Honey was ok, but I’ve loved every album since and their talent had shined through in everything they do.
Honestly man, Pablo Honey is better than you probably think! Blow Out, Prove Yourself, Anyone Can Play Guitar, Creep. Etc, they’re all excellent songs (especially Blow Out!! I’d argue that’s one of their best). It’s just, what came after changed the their game forever. They mixed it up, redefined and redesigned themselves with each album, time and time again bringing a whole new sound to the table. I feel like, with that in mind, it was always gona be impossible for Pablo Honey to ever be anything more than just a debut, solid, British alt-rock album, since OK Computer was like.. The Dark Side of the Moon, of the 90’s!! I love how throughout the years, their live performances just got better, bigger, intenser, focused!! Everything about them as a band became more significant with each album release.. Because of that, the fucking agony, the stress, the touring, the work, the relationships.. It ruined them. They needed their well deserved.. break?? One can only hope. But at the same time, I kinda like what we have now. A near perfect run of albums adored world wide.. Maybe it’s time they did leave it at that? Plus, Yorke and Greenwood have that Smile thing going for em with Skinner, which is nice. I’m happy they still have another outlet to explore and create new stuff without the massive weight of the ‘RADIOHEAD’ name looming over their heads.
the pure theatrics and exaggerated emotions and the way he switches up to sing certain words has the exact same energy as lana del rey performing blue jeans on snl
I was 15 yrs old and unlike most bands who first couple of albums are their best work. Radiohead nearly 30 years later and just kept getting better. Hands down my favorite band❤️
Anyone else now thinking about during the writer's strike when Jordan, Aaron Bleyaert and other staff were playing "Creep" on Rockband, and Conan comes in with a real guitar and amp slung over his shoulder and completely outplays them, while blocking their view... and Jordan is on drums trying to look under Conan's leg to still drum accurately... with a bottle of Moet on the table next to him? If that's not proof that Jordan has always been Jordan, go back and watch that video (I think you can just type in "Conan writer's strike") and remember this was shortly before they even revealed Jordan for the first time... like, a couple of episodes before. I remember... I watched those shows live... I watch YOU live! Loves xx
Wow! That was an unexplainably great performance! This guy can really belt out the lyrics at any octave and his guitarists are equally impressive! You can see him working the pedals for his guitar.
I don't think anybody would have guessed that they would release OK Computer not long after and completely blow people's minds. I heard this song and thought okay, they got something but I think they are going to be a 1 hit wonder. Glad I was so wrong. Their whole catalog is one of my favorites of any band.
I was watching this live. I’d recorded Creep off the radio off some “new alt rock” specialty program and I LOVED it. I was so excited for this, and then I saw it. I was so put off by Thom Yorke that I decided Radiohead was a joke and they’d have no future. Boy, did I turn out to be wrong. Still, don’t think I’d want to take a roadtrip with this version of Thom.
To perform the song like that on a talk show stage.... just wow. They were so into the performance and it was just streaming to the network tv as raw as it is.. i loved the album but just didnt know that they performed on Conan. More than amazing...

Letterman was similar
I love how Thom actually embodied the song for this specific performance
I’m glad he grew out of this rock star phase as soon as he did.
He was getting sick of singing it and being labeled as the creator of it by this time. I'm sure that's why he was acting like he did lol

Two of my most favourite famous entities - Conan and Radiohead together. Doesn't get any better than this!

Feels like an SNL skit, and I love radiohead. That scream grabs your soul.

It's about time this was reposted. This is my favourite version of creep of all time.
Seeing this video in hd was a real treat
Thank you for bringing this to light, preserve the art.
Remember seeing this live as a senior in High School . Still best performance of this song
Conan always hosted many of my favourite bands that seldomly played other late night shows - from Radiohead to Lamb of God.
Excellent video quality wow, for a 1993 video, thanks for internet and youtube. It is great to be a fan of Radiohead. :)
I believe that we all have a bit of "creep" and that we are all "normal". Lovely heartfelt performance
