SpagBrethren I'm not sure why that's relevant? Unless you're saying that Radiohead are bad, but then why are you here? Also I have to disagree with Dream Theater, they've done some real masterpieces in their career (although I'll agree to some very major blips)
SpagBrethren i cant fucking stand dream theater. i'm a music nerd, but in high school i got seriously sick of people at the local music shop being all "OMFG well of course dream theater dream theater DREAM THEATER"
It is a tricky/complicated song. But colin always stays at the back with phil when there performing life. I read somewhere that it's so Colin can keep an eye on Johnny. A promise he made to there mother..... Or something along them lines! Ha.
Quite possibly the greatest live performance of the 90s. They hit this to perfection. The Foo Fighters were playing on Jools that night. David Grohl said he experienced music revolution in real time watching this performance.
A masterpiece of music history. Radiohead should be proud of.themselves. Thar they've created / composed one of the most brilliant musical pieces in the history of rock music and offcourse one of my personal TOP 5 all time songs.
+Lorraine Yang I heard Johnny Greenwood single handedly kept guitar-string factories from closing down through the recession due to his abuse of strings..
I remember seeing this on telly, as an ice breaker for the O.K. Tour I think. Never been so knocked out by a track at the first listen. Went out the next day and bought the album. Brilliant.....Totally brilliant !
What's amazing about this performance is the idea that after nearly 2 decades it still pulls you into an adventure, where you can watch a live performance and be stunned but at the same time let it paint a collage of emotions and times past and imagined, cinematically onto that canvass between the screen and your eyes. Love it!!!
As a guitar player, your job is to accentuate the song in the best way that you know how. Since this song was released in 1997, Johnny Greenwood has done this task better than any guitar player i'm currently aware of, could have possibly done.Prove me wrong youtube.
Can remember getting all excited about watching this. Radiohead were so desperately needed and important back then. This must've been '97, obviously promoting 'OK Computer'. And, no doubt, I wasn't the only one, getting fed up with the Oasis-movement, and all those samey bands, and all those omnipresent samey haircuts, and the pretentious, laddish, well-'ard swagger, and watching arrogant singers struggling to belt out songs of utter futility, yet announcing to the world, that the songs are the best ever, and none of that 'student shite'... Yeah, granted, some great songs came out of Oasis etc, in the earlier days, and I bought their earlier albums, but, for me, it had all got so tedious, and had become a joke... BUT, then, thankfully, Radiohead decided to cut right through the lot with more excellent, emotive songs. ' The Bends' and 'OK Computer' were a much-needed and necessary breath of fresh and important air... And 'Pablo Honey' was a better debut / album than many claimed... '97? Where did the 17 years go? I'm scared.
Creep was the first song that I ever like don my own volition back in 1992. I was 9 years old, crazy how long Radiohead has been around and crazy how they keep on creating beautiful music.
From the heart, thanks for this video. For many years, it's been difficult to love live bands as, being a fan of Pink Floyd, I've been spoilt somewhat and not really seen anything that can rock my cockles, float my boat or tickle my turtles! :) I've loved paranoid android for years, but watching em play it live is wonderful. It's a shame, for me, that they didn't delve into the music more and stretch it out longer to be more like Animals, which this song happily sits alongside. Praise indeed
Wow that was an incredibly performance, just nailed it in every way. I don't even know what the Jools Holland show is but bands seem to kick ass when they're on here.
Why don't we make a comparison? Radiohead are widely recognised as one of the greatest bands of all time with Ed, Jonny and Thom voted among the greatest guitarists and singers ever. They have sold more than 30 million critically acclaimed records and have millions of fans all over the world who love them very much.
agree entirely, also when you get to the Radiohead end of TH-cam you get intelligent comments as well. I remember this performance absolutely blowing me away when I first saw it on Jools Holland.
I remember watching this video years ago, and I still remember what I loved about it. Jonny's crazy ass guitar solo and Thom wearing those ugly 90s sunglasses indoors lmao.
One of the best songs ever written and one of the best performances ever. Also alot of people don't know that this song also has a humorous side to it this song is about paranoid android out of the book hitch hikers guide to the galaxy :)
They already have made it in the music industry. OK Computer is widely regarded as the greatest album of all time (by those who don't dwell on the classics and have their top 10 composed entirely of the Beatles and Beach Boys). All 7 of their albums are absolutely golden.
@biscuitchannel OK I never said they SHOULD be more underrated. I just prefer it when people don't like the same things as I. These guys do deserve way more attention, and I do deserve the right to state an opinion. I am not here to criticize anyone or anything, I was just stating a personal preference.
Was there at Glastonbury `97 was it...? Closest thing to a religious experience...really truly awesome...even some of the mud dried on me....real hairs-on-the-back-of-my-neck feeling....
Ah ok I see, I was thinking he meant in terms of guitarists accentuating the songs for their respective bands. But you are definitely right, Jonny is the perfect guitar player for this song, and to quote you, "it's just his style." No one else could play his part of the song or create their own part and have it accentuate this song as well. But yes, I misunderstood what kdawg2a was saying, so yes I agree with you.
Words can't describe how talented these guys are
Yes they can. Watch.
"They have above average playing ability"
See, I have described their playing ability. :P
playingforbritain
Technicality =/= talent. For example, Dream Theatre are talentless hacks
SpagBrethren I'm not sure why that's relevant? Unless you're saying that Radiohead are bad, but then why are you here? Also I have to disagree with Dream Theater, they've done some real masterpieces in their career (although I'll agree to some very major blips)
SpagBrethren i cant fucking stand dream theater. i'm a music nerd, but in high school i got seriously sick of people at the local music shop being all "OMFG well of course dream theater dream theater DREAM THEATER"
nutsackmania Well then... good for you?
Jonny Greenwood is one of the best and most creative guitarists ever.
You have to be a genius to came up with a song like this.
@glencosby1090an insane maniac to
You can tell its a tricky/complicated song when the bass player is stood at the back with the drummer. That's the rhythm section really concentrating
It is a tricky/complicated song. But colin always stays at the back with phil when there performing life. I read somewhere that it's so Colin can keep an eye on Johnny. A promise he made to there mother..... Or something along them lines! Ha.
@@thejo11ypotteryeah that’s actually true!
Quite possibly the greatest live performance of the 90s. They hit this to perfection. The Foo Fighters were playing on Jools that night.
David Grohl said he experienced music revolution in real time watching this performance.
This song would be way ahead of its time even if it was released today
CJ Mooney LOL
CJ Mooney This song is timeless my friend. That said, of course I share your amazement and respect for these artists.
CJ Mooney what are you even talking about?
The "Rain Down" part just sounds absolutely amazing here. I can just feel the raw emotion resonating from my speakers every time I hear it.
I agree. This is amazing.
Only Johnny Greenwood could play a manic solo then fade in to playing keys so calmly like that.
it's so damn clear it's almost impossible to believe it was live. Excellent clarity!!
Remember watching this on TV like it was yesterday. Riveted to the screen. Landmark album of 1997.
Perfect live performance of the perfect song from a perfect album by a perfect band..
Jonnys guitar bits make this song what it is. This was a next level performance.
Jonny Greenwood probably played the greatest guitar solo of all time. He is a brilliant guitarist.
Some of his solos seem so simple but I’ve gone crazy trying to play them myself
A masterpiece of music history. Radiohead should be proud of.themselves. Thar they've created / composed one of the most brilliant musical pieces in the history of rock music and offcourse one of my personal TOP 5 all time songs.
seriously fantastic music structures and creativity....
One of the greatest albums of all time.
How has Jonny's guitar not exploded by now?
+Micah Buzan I've seen his strings break in concert before. I can't recall which gig it was, but the strings on the guitar did give out...
+Lorraine Yang I heard Johnny Greenwood single handedly kept guitar-string factories from closing down through the recession due to his abuse of strings..
He's been using that exact guitar for like 20 years That's one well made product!
+Lorraine Yang No Surprises when he bends the shit out them, especially that 3 inch bend in The Bends he does.
what a great performance
Right there with The Beatles and Pink Floyd. Absolute perfection
100% goose bumps......forgot just how awesome these guys are!!!
Its got to be my all time favourite live song, they are just gods
agree , got the goosebumps too :´)
I remember seeing this on telly, as an ice breaker for the O.K. Tour I think. Never been so knocked out by a track at the first listen. Went out the next day and bought the album. Brilliant.....Totally brilliant !
This has gotta be close to the perfect song hasn't it? Fantastic legendary version.
Greatest album of all time. Greatest song of the 90's. This is one of my favorite performances of it, that guitar sound is just phenomenal.
This is by far. The. Greatest. Song. Of. All. Time.
I wouldn't like to have been 'next up' after that I must say. Jeez!
Incredible performance!
What's amazing about this performance is the idea that after nearly 2 decades it still pulls you into an adventure, where you can watch a live performance and be stunned but at the same time let it paint a collage of emotions and times past and imagined, cinematically onto that canvass between the screen and your eyes. Love it!!!
so fucking sick even all these years later

What a fucking song. Blew my mind in 1997 and still blows my mind to this day. A perfect band.

Best studio performance of any one anywhere at anytime. These lads were put on this planet for this reason, to play brilliant music.
when i first heard this song so long ago i never thought it could be played so well live
this performance just always blows my mind
Thom's screams during the last solo were awesome!!!
All around amazing performance.
From the heart, thanks for this video. For many years, it's been difficult to love live bands as, being a fan of Pink Floyd, I've been spoilt somewhat and not really seen anything that can rock my cockles, float my boat or tickle my turtles! :)
I've loved paranoid android for years, but watching em play it live is wonderful. It's a shame, for me, that they didn't delve into the music more and stretch it out longer to be more like Animals, which this song happily sits alongside. Praise indeed
Seeing this for the first time was the most memorable and formative musical experience of my life... I knew then Radiohead were no ordinary band....
Wow that was an incredibly performance, just nailed it in every way. I don't even know what the Jools Holland show is but bands seem to kick ass when they're on here.
Incredible performance of this amazing song!!!!!!!...... Well, actually the good adjetives aren't enough for this.... this song have all!
out of this world!
Why don't we make a comparison? Radiohead are widely recognised as one of the greatest bands of all time with Ed, Jonny and Thom voted among the greatest guitarists and singers ever. They have sold more than 30 million critically acclaimed records and have millions of fans all over the world who love them very much.
truly amazing, radiohead are one of the only bands that sound as perfect live as they do on their albums
agree entirely, also when you get to the Radiohead end of TH-cam you get intelligent comments as well.
I remember this performance absolutely blowing me away when I first saw it on Jools Holland.
What an absolutely electrifying performance! If you love '90s indie-rock, this is profoundly epic"
Thanks so much for uploading this - I think it's my favourite performance of Paranoid Android, fuck me that was beautiful
Absolutely incredible.
One of the most incredible RH songs.. Myxomatosis is a close second.. great band!
jonny greenwood jumping from electric guitar to keyboard back to guitar as well as hitting the pedals=epic. legend.
The stuff Jonny Greenwood can do with a guitar impresses me to no end.
Absolute genius..
Might be the most beautiful, most perfect song ever.
I second the guy that said whoever was in charge of sound at this concert is a bloody genius. Amazingly well mixed.
remember watching this as a teenager thinking music could not go further or get better,15 years later it turns out i was right.fuckin phenomenal!
" Click on HQ and enjoy"..
*Ba-dum tssss*
best.version.ever
Best Creative band since The Beatles,Radiohead was the saviour of 90s music.
This is the song that you never forget ...
that, is quite simply, fucking amazing
This is indeed amazing quality. Thanks.
Just perfect! As i remeber watching it on later with jools holland in about 97!
Stunning song.
I remember watching this video years ago, and I still remember what I loved about it.
Jonny's crazy ass guitar solo and Thom wearing those ugly 90s sunglasses indoors lmao.
Holy Shit, been a fan from the start and that shit is tight... Epic
rain down...rain down, come on rain down...on me...from a great high...from a great high.... so dramatic, so touching...
One of the best songs ever written and one of the best performances ever. Also alot of people don't know that this song also has a humorous side to it this song is about paranoid android out of the book hitch hikers guide to the galaxy :)
Mind Blown, gotta see em once more.
my god. absolutely beautiful, and fucking immense. no one is ever gonna write a song like this or champagne supernova
This song makes me love music even more.....
This song is a literal masterpiece
couldn't have expected a better performance :')
They already have made it in the music industry.
OK Computer is widely regarded as the greatest album of all time (by those who don't dwell on the classics and have their top 10 composed entirely of the Beatles and Beach Boys).
All 7 of their albums are absolutely golden.
That is so tight, so fuckin winning, massive wowsers... #radioheadforlife
Man i just love the crowds reaction at the end,they just know that they have witnessed something special,lucky bastards lol.....
@2:00, Colin's been doing this sweet bass riff for 16 years and I don't think he gets tired of it!
Reminds me of being on tour in 97, hearing this album for the first time and pretty much saying forget it...all music is done being written
Wow. Classic performance of a modern rock classic.
I always end up lying helpless on the floor after watching this. It just rips my soul wide open.
Exquisite. How can any band sound so perfect live?
Sublime.
Holy Fuck. All these years later and that is still medical grade awesome! I need to play that on a bigger stereo.
Simply superb. Outstanding.
Thid really is the best song ever made. Also the guitar on this version is haunting almost sitar like!
@misterkurdt No Chaos pad. Only modifications are a killswitch in place of the 3-way toggle and the TBX pot replaced with a push pull pot
a perfect song!!
The greatest band in our times, no doubt about it
best band in the world
Definitivamente las buenas bandas se diferencian cuando tocan en vivo... Grande Radiohead, hace 15 años lo veia por MTV.
A very accomplished performance - I predict that this band will become very successful.
@biscuitchannel OK I never said they SHOULD be more underrated. I just prefer it when people don't like the same things as I. These guys do deserve way more attention, and I do deserve the right to state an opinion. I am not here to criticize anyone or anything, I was just stating a personal preference.
Yes, one of the geniuses of todays music Roger!
One of the best bands, i dont care what anyone else thinks! They are .
i concur, in the early days, at least. I remember hearing "Unintended" on the radio, and Mark and Lard saying how similar to Radiohead it sounded
Was there at Glastonbury `97 was it...? Closest thing to a religious experience...really truly awesome...even some of the mud dried on me....real hairs-on-the-back-of-my-neck feeling....
That bit towards the end where Ed takes over Yorke's vocals is brilliant
Such a piece of art!
Ah ok I see, I was thinking he meant in terms of guitarists accentuating the songs for their respective bands. But you are definitely right, Jonny is the perfect guitar player for this song, and to quote you, "it's just his style." No one else could play his part of the song or create their own part and have it accentuate this song as well. But yes, I misunderstood what kdawg2a was saying, so yes I agree with you.
i love this video cause the second half of the solo you can see jonnys facial expressions which you normally can't!
You forget how majestic his voice was. Can't believe I saw them on this tour.... I didn't realise how lucky I was at the time!
+Marc Skeldon Me too, saw them at Wembley that year, incredible gig.
Fantastic footage as well :]
