Wow, I don't remember seeing this award show.👍🏻 What a great 15 step with all those percussion students! Really fitted well, & they did the shout at 02:38 🙌🏻 Radiohead are definitely 1 of my all time favourites 💜🙂♏🏴💫
Pure genius!!! We wouldn’t even do music if it wasn’t for the existence of a hand full of bands… but Radiohead are the pinnacle reason we wanted to even try to make music. We love Radiohead and they are a level we will never reach but they make us want to try.
It's a shame the sound quality isn't great, the bassiness live must have been quite something. Anyone know of a better version floating about anywhere?
@@Atlas65 yeah it depends how it's done i think. sometimes it can sound awkward but with just the right touch it's groovy. Yes Take 5 is awesome. Also 7 can sound awkward but Pink floyd made Money sound more groovy than anything. Some bands just feel out how to make it work.
@@halfalligator6518 Yes that is true. Often if songs with that meter are made by an overly educated music major, that analyzes way to much it is most likely not going to sound groovy. So it need the right touch, you are right with that. I think that Radiohead have even made 7 sound groovy. Isn't Paranoid Android in 7, f example?
Thom is a snake charmer. He mesmerizes the audience and the drums follow him too. I think Radiohead follows his lead also. They go with it. I wonder if they got the drum theme from Talking Heads Izimbra David Byrnes' drummers marching.
Hey thanks for posting this! I am one of the cymbal players :)
That must have been awesome
Great stuff Charlene!
That’s awesome - one of my favorite Grammy performances ever
Legend!
That's pretty cool!
The only respectable way to replace Phil is at least a dozen drummers
If i can ask, why him, Colin and Ed werent there?
colin was definitely there, you can hear the bass, ed didnt have much to do, i wouldn’t be surprised if phil was in the crowd of drummers
You only needed two members of Radiohead and a bunch of college kids
to slay a masterpiece
in front of a hall full of musicians.
Or it takes almost 30 other musicians to try and recreate Phil Selway, Ed O’brien and Colin Greenwood and even then they struggle!
There is beauty in this show.
i get what yor trying to do, but it's not like this is "such and such" Junior College - it was the USC marching band. They know what they are doing.

@@justindyke2170 this was over a decade ago..
I just think he was responding to this "fun" version of the song. He generally responds as the vibe of the song calls for.
I love how they actually do the yell in the background at 2:40
definitely my favorite part - and Thom's exuberant conducting of it. :D So awesome! We really have lost so much, as a society, I mean.
Absolutely, it's one of those noises that you don't know where it came from or who made it and that's why is special
i did too
It'd be so sick to have gotten to be one of those dudes yellin out there
YAY!
It's so crazy that philip multiplied for this preformance
Amazing creative performance. Probably the thrill of those kids’ lives. 1 voice. 1 guitar. 1 marching band.
Yes, it was a thrill! Thanks!
Thom Yorke is such an expressive performer, he doesn't get enough credit for it.
the best in the world right now

Looks like he was actually hyped to be there
😁😁😁
At first I was thinking: "Ah, shame there's no Colin" But then at 2:33 it's like: "Oh it's alright, Trombone's got you covered"
Yup. I was wondering how they were going to handle his bass part in the song, then I saw the Tubas and Trombones.

Say what you will about the Grammys, it has resulted in some of the most memorable lives performances of all time.
This is so fucking good.

@@szymondudzinski6661 maybe it is. it's certainly 5 something :D

You know when ever the USC Trojans show up it's gonna be a banger - Fleetwood Mac can attest to that.
At that moment, that night, they were certainly the most exciting musical thing in the world... again...

Top 100, there are unknow bands or bands who inspired radiohead, but yes, they are one of the best
That was nothing short of outstanding. Seems like a crazy tough song to pull off live but they did it and then some.
This is one of the best live performances I’ve ever seen!!!!!!! I listen to it on my headphones on full blast all the time ♥️
I watch this clip ALL THE TIME! Amazing- love Radiohead. Please watch their Astoria 2004 concert
that last look before he turns at the end...
like, "ya, still wish I played creep instead?"
I am sure they would.
This is the most excited i’ve ever seen Yorke be to perform
I've been listening to Radiohead for a long time but only now that she spoke the lyrics I actually know what Thom sings
A musical performance getting a standing ovation from a room full of people who do musical performances everyday
Would be so cool to the rehearsal process for this
Thom looks so cool omg
A ridiculously technical arrangement to try and make it sound like the original. Only Radiohead could pull it off.

“How come I end up where I belong”
The lyrics is
"How come I end up where I went wrong"
Buy the vinyl, you got the official lyrics there.
As Radiohead’s biggest fan of all time this video and album is a masterpiece.

Oh, how much I enjoy someone praising Radiohead. They truly deserve it ❤️.
And ofcourse, amazing performance 🎉

True talent at the Grammy's back then. Awesome performance!

Love the way the marching band lower their instruments at the end, no fuss, just pure professionalism. like: job over.

He sings about how death comes for us one by one, how it’s as soft as your pillow. But yes, I do find it uplifting too 🤣
