Remember listening to this on repeat in the lead up to In Rainbows. There's also the alternative version of Reckoner out there when we all thought it was what eventually became Pulled Apart By Horses. They toured In Rainbows material before release much more than any recent albums from what I can tell. So long ago now... jees
@@ryanjosephlock the fans put wrong names on the songs, feeling pulled apart by horses is not reckoner, and wake me before they come is not dawn chorus
I remember when in rainbows came out and it didn't have this odnes sound that reminded me of modular synths and Suzanne Ciani. The disappointment was real, especially as everyone else seemed to love the album!
@@nombreapellido310apparently the reckoner we have now came from a coda to pulled apart by horses, but the first part was scrapped and we’re just left with the coda, makes sense when you listen to the drum groove at the end of PABH (the original with radiohead, the versions with AFP and the Smile are very different)
Funny to notice that in 2005 it already has the Ed's backing vocals (EEEEHHHH-EEEEEEHH, they start here in about 3:14), which in this version are being nailed by the cello. Amazing version.
Whatever it is that happens at 4:44 to 5:15 is jaw droppingly beautiful. I'm so happy we have this version and the album version and From the Basement version. Each are incredible for their own reasons.
What happens there is what some call "the reveal". In this case the 4/4 time signature is obscured by 7/4 by 3/4 polymeter, and then "revealed" in the end. In Bonnaroo's version of Videotape th-cam.com/video/DTZt6Dzkq6w/w-d-xo.html the syncopation is obscured in the beginning, and "revealed" at 2:40 when the drums make a rhythmic displacement.
This is absolutely beautiful, brilliant, fantastic. Having said that, I think the drums are a very important part of this song. The studio version is still my favorite.
Basement is my fave. Absolutely phenomenal. I'd always not liked radiohead based on OK computer. Sorta liked the singles from amnesiac and hail to the thief, completely missed kid a and then heard the basement in rainbows. Completely converted me.
Thr Jools Hollland version for me. Incredible though that a band can have such a catalogue of amazing songs, each with many brilliant, varied and different versions. What a gift to humanity they are.
Seeing all these 11-14 year old comments is really crazy to me, how long I’d been missing out on something so special. How we have all experienced this at totally different points in time, like a touchstone, and similarly felt how powerful it is.
i found this song before in rainbows came out and I thought "what is this mess?", it had something but I didn't understand it. It sounds completely different to me now. I can appreciate it now, but still I'm glad they arranged it for the album.
I saw this live. It was an avant garde gig. Thom did just this song. I was not into Radiohead until Thom came onstage - I was instantly converted. This song left me tearful. Thom has such integrity, emotionality and physicality as a musician.
This video has 153,432 views. Pretty sure I'm 100,000 of those, at least. The best version of this song that has ever existed. I was familiar with this version before In Rainbows was released. I love that version, too, but this one. . . this one whispers to my soul. I just want to sail a boat into the middle of the ocean so I can stare at the stars, far away from everything, and listen to this song. Maybe also Goldfrapp's album, Felt Mountain (the only good album of theirs, so dreamy). I could swim inside this space for the rest of my life. Even if my ship capsized, what a lovely way to go.
It seems like it's weird for him to just sing...with out playing an instrument while doing it...and that makes me smile, I don't know why.But anyway, this performance is amazing, I love it! < 3
this really makes me want to dive in the blue waters to its deepest end and watch in awe all the glowing sea creatures swim around me .. this is dreamy stuff and the orchestra add such drama to this song..its very beautiful very peaceful
@TheBrazenHell Arpeggi was the working title for the track, so called as it comprises mainly of arpeggios which is when each note in the chord is played one after another
I wish this was this was actually realesed. It is my favorite song from Thome York. The best rendition. The best. The most beautiful. So beautiful, It breaks my heart.
I think the guitar parts on 'In rainbows' are in 3/8 timing (the same for what that girl must be playing here) That programmed loop, if it is programmed, I think it's 6/8. The drums on 'In rainbows' however, are 4/4. So for this song I think they've always wanted to mix two different timings to give it a sort of mesmerism. That aspect of it is just more subtle on the 'In Rainbows' version.
Id only have added in the first verse (or between the first two ones) the line "can anybody make a difference between what they hear and what they say... weird fishes, weird fishes". if you get that right? sounds totally the song to fit with I think.
I agree with ChesterAtsuka. Very accurate way of putting it. How he does it is probably due to the fact that Radiohead is one of those bands who have spent more time singing live in concerts than they did in recording-studios.Infact their success is the result of their numerous and constant performing, unlike many other artists who begin to perform live concerts after they have already become established. This is a band that is unique not only the their style of music but in everything else.
You may wish to see their performance of this song in their 2008 concert in Tokyo. If one was to listen to it blinfolded you would think it is the studio-recoreded version from a cd. It's very hard for any singer to achieve such ability to perform live. And moreover, Radiohead do it constantly. Every performance I have seen of theirs has been outstanding.
IMHO, He is a kind of "connection" between us and something great out there: something of such love, sense and Beauty we will never be able to imagine...or...maybe He is "it" himself...
Weird Fishes if it were to be on A Moon Shaped Pool. This is absolutely brilliant, how am I only seeing this now?
You're right, came here to listen to it after hearing the bonus track, Ill Wind for the first time - the ending is very similar
i know
its only 12 years old now.....better late than never?
Wow terrific insight!
I believe this preceded the studio Radiohead version of it, aka, Wierd Fishes
This was 2 years before In Rainbows was actually released, so technically this would be the 'original'.

"I got very excited at the prospect of doing string parts that didn't sound like 'Eleanor Rigby'"-Jonny Greenwood
He really said that? Now Jonny Greenwood is my hero
Ahahahah Greenwood is surely a hero, but why for this sentence?
Props to Thom for keeping singing in time with all that.
How does Thom always manage to stare directly into cameras in the audience?
one of his many skills haha

They replaced the orchestra with ed
If everybody uses orchestral instruments then who will go EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED?
Divine Kazoo the audience
Fair choice
Ed is precious...
some say that ed's mind, is like an orchestra

Interesting. How do you learn more about this stuff?
Look into music theory
n yea, music theory really explains much of all the interesting occurrences that happen in music.
I love the way this guy sings. He's free.. i Hope someday i could be like him in some aspects.
just listening to him makes me cry and I feel like I am free. its really comforting
This is early AMSP instrumentation right here, 11 years before it was released.
Man, I can see why In Rainbows is so good. I didn't realize they had been writing between all their time off.
Okay I just stopped existing for like 6 minutes, I dissolved into the song.
This is absolutely beautiful, brilliant, fantastic. Having said that, I think the drums are a very important part of this song. The studio version is still my favorite.
the from the basement track
is equally beautiful
listen the bonnaroo 2006 version, is amazing!
Basement is my fave. Absolutely phenomenal. I'd always not liked radiohead based on OK computer. Sorta liked the singles from amnesiac and hail to the thief, completely missed kid a and then heard the basement in rainbows. Completely converted me.
This is better in my opinion, such an escape.

WHO SAW THE INVISIBLE THOM´S PIANO?
Jonathan Salinas Palavicino jajajajajajajaja eso pensé y justo veo tu comentario
everyone
and it was no laughing matter :D
The influence of Steve Reich in this is striking.
is it the new york cadence?
@@CYTRIX-nd2zw what's that?
And it's wonderful to listen classical music fused with experimental rock. It's wonderful, really.
Real shame about the quality would kill to hear a proper mixed version of this, the strings are magnificent.
The very first time people had the chance to experience this masterpiece. Magnificent
Oh Lord , I like both versions , and the song here got even more beautiful when it got closer to the end.
man this song is so hypnotising.
that piano line gets into parts of my brain that lyric cannot.
Seeing all these 11-14 year old comments is really crazy to me, how long I’d been missing out on something so special. How we have all experienced this at totally different points in time, like a touchstone, and similarly felt how powerful it is.
This version of this song is the most beautiful song I know.
god i really love this version. it captures a totally different mood than the studio version, and both versions are so good. god i love radiohead.
i found this song before in rainbows came out and I thought "what is this mess?", it had something but I didn't understand it. It sounds completely different to me now. I can appreciate it now, but still I'm glad they arranged it for the album.
It's a bit Terry Riley
@@RayasNegroOvejas if only Terry Riley was as well known as Steve Reich. The guy was a genius.

I'm pretty sure you're not.
THIS version is striking in every conceivable nuance of that word .
Never have I agreed with a comment as much as this!
Best version ever.
E V E R
sometimes i listen to songs and it sounds like how i imagine people imagined music of the future back when it wasnt the future yet.

He was playing .......
@@barb2162 lol what was he playing
poetic version... one of the most beautiful songs of this century
How did i end up in love with this hobo
Thom's voice is heavenly
this really makes me want to dive in the blue waters to its deepest end and watch in awe all the glowing sea creatures swim around me .. this is dreamy stuff and the orchestra add such drama to this song..its very beautiful very peaceful
they should have launched it the in In Rainbows disc 2
@TheBrazenHell Arpeggi was the working title for the track, so called as it comprises mainly of arpeggios which is when each note in the chord is played one after another
I love when Thom smiles as the strings kick in at 3:18 (where it's usually Ed beckoning). I wonder if this gave them the idea for that backup vocal?
the ending is so... wonderful...
I wish this was this was actually realesed. It is my favorite song from Thome York. The best rendition. The best. The most beautiful. So beautiful, It breaks my heart.
Just beautiful.
this was the best version of this song.
this tickles as does He always and I did see the piano also
was jonny there?
Thanks for uploading! Always had the audio but never knew there was video of this. Amazing version.
This is so beautiful, thanks for sharing this!
that trumpet part from about 5:00 to the end is insanely technically difficult to pull off, massive props to the musicians and to the orchestration
wild intervals yeah
I saw them in Houston Man! I sang this song with my heart.
Thankful to have been there.
I love this so much. Thank you for sharing
I watched the whole video and heard it.
I mean just the audio by itself.
Thanks for the compliment!
man. this is truly awesome
I did, till my lungs collapsed.
QUE PERFORMANCE DO CARAALHOO!
Sem condições, sem condições.
Hah the lighting on the stage really brings out thom's cheek bones, just like the creep video
soooooo goooooddd!!!
frikin amazing!
This is gorgeous
Great thanks for this video!

Wow, this is amazing.

Amazing... !!!

No, it is not polymeter, which is what you just described. I’m sure it’s just syncopation; polymeter is a bit more complex.
the most perfect cheekbones.x
This will always be the official version of this song, IMHO.
I wish the video quality was better, still this is an awesome arrangement for this song, goosebumps awesome!!
I absolutley adore the Ondes...
I guess I should put my name somewhere here. This version of Arpeggi is my favourite.
PISCES
Id only have added in the first verse (or between the first two ones) the line "can anybody make a difference between what they hear and what they say... weird fishes, weird fishes". if you get that right? sounds totally the song to fit with I think.

just great!
