If you listen closely at 4:20 you can actually hear the audience doing the backing vocals (One day I am gonna grow wings, a chemical reaction, hysterical and useless). That's damn cool audience!
God, imagine being there.. I want to see them live so bad, it's rare to find a band that sounds just as good (or better) live, in comparison to the recordings. Also, is it too weird that I find this song strangely comforting and hopeful? It must be the vocals at the end or the drums or I don't know what, but I get this hopeful sensation. Definitely one of the best Radiohead songs in my opinion.
I was there. I was actually in touch with Jonny’s wife and wrote to her I have to hear Let Down as it would be the first time for me to experience Radiohead in nyc again since 2001 and for 12 years after 9/11 this was pretty much my theme song. Not saying this is why they played it but how cool it was that they did. Also I believe My Iron Lung. There were a handful of songs I HAD to hear and they managed to play all of them. I have a special connection to this band.
It's just crazy that they could have gone 10 years of not playing this amazing song. What is that...two, three tours of god only knows how many shows? They have a great catalog...but still.
And they only kinda half played it not very well at a show in Amsterdam in 2006. Before that, it had been 8 years since they had played it. Played once between 1998 and 2016. Luckily, it's become a regular again since 2016.
the FIRST TIME THEY HAVE PLAYED THAT in new york IN TEN YEARS Radiohead Glastonbury 1997 has been voted the Greatest of ALL Glastonbury performances FIFTY YEARS in June and who is Headlining??? TAYLOR SWIFT.................. I am not JOKING........CHECK OUT THE WEBSITE................It used to be a Great Festival....... Taylor Swift...................

0:21 the most appropriate exclamation of 'WHAT??!!' ever recorded

My fav Radiohead tune without question.
Seeing Jonny actually swaying in 5/4 adds a whole other dimension to this song.
I was at this concert and am still getting chills when I see this. Thank you for putting this together.
lucky sonofabitch. I'm seeing them in July - I can't even dare to allow myself to dream they'll play it then
Sham Bolic They have been playing it quite a bit lately so maybe they will do so in July!
This show was soooo special! I loved being there for such a beautiful experience
Love the way Thom subtly modifies his inflection on "hangin' around".
Spot on performance all around. Would die happily if this shows up in Portland.
Same
Well we all got our wish didn’t we!!

"One day, I am gonna grow wings.."
Radiohead perfection from beginning to end.
One of the great bands of our time. THey sure have come a long way since Creep
One of my favourite Radiohead songs from the epic album "OK Computer"
Music to make your heart sing!!
and your eyes wet
Got goosebumps in my beard from watching this
let down no fue una obsesión, fue una razón para seguir viviendo
Lo mismo siento hasta ahora
Hombre, tienes toda la razón.
So many memories from this song. The directness the chord changes the melody oh my !
Best.Song.Ever.
Seeing Radiohead live is a life changing experience. I was lucky to see them three times.
Damn. I’ve never had the chance see them play this live. Such a great song and they perform it live flawlessly.
They've been going for 20+ yrs
jonny so pretty at 3:35
I am so happy for all these people. What a lovely suprise.
Oh I have been longing for this! Thank you so much. 💜
unbelievable and universally beautiful
God bless them. Boundless talent and guts.
It’s always slightly disappointed that ed doesn’t sing in the climax for this song, it definitely can’t be that hard and it really makes this song!
Pretty sure he started doing that during performances in 2017.
Yeah, I've always wondered why they didn't do it, and assumed they must have at least tried...
All of them feeling it and making us feel as well
0:20
"WHAT?"
love that haha and the disbelief laugh right after. cant imagine being there and not expecting this at all
I'm about 95% certain that was me.
Beautiful thanks for doing that!
Thank you very very much~

Hermoso, simplemente HERMOSO...!!!
This is precious
so incredible, i wonder why they don't add the Atari synth bit at the end though?
So beautiful!!
Jonny's such a beauty ♡
thanks for this - great film
Glad I wasn’t there because I literally would have died when they started playing this.
Collin's bass

Yorke ages artistically like fine wine...
Wonderful! Thank you.
Beautiful!
I was there… surreal surreal night
Fantastic
Fantastico!!!
Glorious
Was played in Mexico City in 2009.
I would have crieddddddd
First time I saw Jonny leave his usual corner.. hahaha..
Love the song, not too sure about the "Joshua Tree era Bono" ponytail tho, but to each their own
Aloha!
💜💜
Whoa I saw a Gatorade on the ground next to johnnys equipment. He is human
Hah.... I saw it too
i require fluid nourishings just like any man-bug.
WHAT?!
wow
Is this an alternate Copperpot5 / OEW account??!

Pauvre coupe de cheveux anyway ;)
After OK Computer they only gave us In Rainbows to constantly replay. The rest is ambient electronica that got old real quick.
A moon shaped pool?? Amnesiac???
