To non guitar players, they may not appreciate how hard it is to perform an intricate picking melody the entire length of the song while simultaneously singing in a vocal line that allows for almost no breaks and really long breath holds. Thom makes it look like the easiest thing in the world.
I've always admired Thom's singing skills, but lately I started to admire his guitar playing as well. Combining them must be a devil's thing few people achieve
I learned how to play it, and it's hard to keep going on this rhythm, not to mention the fact that you have to play the same exact time as another person.
when someone has incredible lung capacity, clear and soft tone, natural vibrato, consistent guitar picking, you have the raw talent of Thom Yorke. Sitting behind my computer screen and completely zoned in. hope the audience was as well.
thom has arguably the best technical singing ability of any other man in alternative music. he never strains, his breath capacity is insane, and his tone is always just as good as it is on albums. he really is something else.
Confused? This is from 1995 but the sound quality is one of the best I have ever heard. 2 people sound like an orchestra. Here we are 28 years later and praying for a big tour.
thom yorke probably has one of the most gorgeous voices of all time, and the fact that he’s entirely self-taught with no vocal training is incredible. god, i’m so in love with this man 😔😔

@@somebraveapollo8211I hear ya! The entire “OK Computer” album is STUNNING & Yes Omgoodness YEAAAS! “Exit Music” (for a film) -from “Ok Computer” . There’s no doubting both “The Bends” and “Ok Computer” were Sublime and defining. My partner & I “debate” (in jest) as to which of those 2 particular Radiohead Album’s is better. Hehe 🙃
I just heard this for the first time during the end scene of The Handmaid's Tale - season 4, episode 3. I can't stop listening to it. Perfect for the end of the world. 🌍
I think this might be better than the actual album version. The vocal’s so alive and haunting, and the stripped down and harmonious doubled-acoustic instrumental gives it that perfect intimate feel.
@@ericmorrison8772 Yeah the picking part isn't actually that hard, it's easy to play it a few timesheets. But it's not easy to play it for almost 5 minutes straight while singing and barely getting a moment to a breathe.
Considering they take the situation so casually, this is simply an astounding performance. Just two guitars and one voice and the sound blows the room to pieces like an atomic bomb.
maybe just a few have noticed the amazing and well controlled, fast and beautiful VIBRATO on Tom's singing voice plus the fact that Johnny was playing perfectly even with a cast on his arm
To anyone that thinks Radiohead is mesmerizing due to effects and gadgetry, I present you two acoustic guitars and one voice through a regular microphone. Still mesmerizing.
Who says this?! Rolling stones ranked him 21 on their best singers of all time list. I thought that was quite generous tbh but I dont know how anyone could say he isn't good.
The funniest part about Japanese culture is no matter how bleak the artistic interaction is, they respond with the upbeat type of attitude you'd expect from a kid's Saturday morning cartoon.
It's really incredible how long he can hold those notes for.. I can play this on guitar and sing, but it's almost impossible for me to sing it like he did. What makes it more amazing is that he's a lot smaller than i am!
Agreed. It's definitely a tricky one to sing and play at the same time, however, with lots of practice your muscle memory eventually takes over. 'Body Snatchers' is another tough one to sing and play as well but Thom makes it look effortless. Such a brilliant musician....
One of the most beautiful and talented musical performances ever captured on camera. The guitars, the vocals and the moment...pure talent and on the spot. We're blessed to have this.
I'm always stunned how Thom was able to sing 'Fade out again' and 'Immerse your soul in love' parts without taking any breath in between the words and still sounding so perfect. Amazing
Yuh… this is insane. The most difficult part is the chorus I’d say I never really payed attention to the fact that there’s no breaks in between those long notes. It’s so fluid. Ye he seems not to struggle whatsoever. Crazy vocal control
Thom about this song " It drains me, and it shakes me, and hurts like hell every time I play it, looking out at thousands of people cheering and smiling, oblivious to the tragedy of its meaning, like when you’re going to have your dog put down and it’s wagging its tail on the way there....."
For real me too , when I found the original I thought this is the greatest song of all time , this live performance just brings it to a whole new level , Thoms vocals are just insanely good , can feel every word and note, he was revolutionary Radiohead are the greatest band of all time and no one can change my mind
Thom: “Street Spirit is our purest song, but I didn’t write it. It wrote itself. We were just its messengers; its biological catalysts. Its core is a complete mystery to me, and, you know, I wouldn’t ever try to write something that hopeless. All of our saddest songs have somewhere in them at least a glimmer of resolve. Street Spirit has no resolve. It is the dark tunnel without the light at the end. It represents all tragic emotion that is so hurtful that the sound of that melody is its only definition. We all have a way of dealing with that song. It’s called detachment. Especially me; I detach my emotional radar from that song, or I couldn’t play it. I’d crack. I’d break down on stage. That’s why its lyrics are just a bunch of mini-stories or visual images as opposed to a cohesive explanation of its meaning. I used images set to the music that I thought would convey the emotional entirety of the lyric and music working together. That’s what’s meant by ‘all these things you’ll one day swallow whole’. I meant the emotional entirety, because I didn’t have it in me to articulate the emotion. I’d crack… Our fans are braver than I to let that song penetrate them, or maybe they don’t realise what they’re listening to. They don’t realise that Street Spirit is about staring the fucking devil right in the eyes, and knowing, no matter what the hell you do, he’ll get the last laugh. And it’s real, and true. The devil really will get the last laugh in all cases without exception, and if I let myself think about that too long, I’d crack. I can’t believe we have fans that can deal emotionally with that song. That’s why I’m convinced that they don’t know what it’s about. It’s why we play it towards the end of our sets. It drains me, and it shakes me, and hurts like hell every time I play it, looking out at thousands of people cheering and smiling, oblivious to the tragedy of its meaning, like when you’re going to have your dog put down and it’s wagging its tail on the way there. That’s what they all look like, and it breaks my heart. I wish that song hadn’t picked us as its catalysts, and so I don’t claim it. It asks too much. I didn’t write that song.”
I think the answer is simple. The quality of his voice transcends the message. How he gets those notes with such feeling is quite frankly stunning. We become hypnotised by the quality of the sound and thus don't connect with its true meaning. Whether that is good or bad I don't now but perhaps that helps.
That's amazing. Thank you for sharing. I have a hearing deficit and I can't hear the lyrics. Thoms voice is ethereal in this song. He sounds like an angel to me.
@Nolan M. Can you offer evidence of that? It has no baring on this anyway. This is the web on a court of law. You accused the guy of being a liar. If someone called me a liar I would want them to prove it. Or are we all liars until proven innocent in your world?
His performance is OFF THE CHARTS. It is so rare to see an artist who, sick to death maybe of replaying the same material, still, remembers the very same emotion and agony which drove them to write the song in the first place, and can still convey it in its essence in a live gig. This man is the genuine of genuine articles.
My son learned this first thing he taught himself to play guitar at 11. He’s very talented and loves Radiohead decades after I did. We had frequent electricity blackouts in that neighbourhood and he would bring his acoustic down and play this for his younger siblings ( and me) while they held light sticks in the dark I love this song anyway but it’s extra special for the memories
I've been a Radiohead fan for as long as I can remember and I've somehow missed this. What an incredible performance even by Radiohead's standards. Sadly the presenters didn't seem to register what they had just witnessed. I would have been speechlees and in total awe.
For me, this is the greatest live performance of any song ever. Listened to many times now, and it's still as haunting and mesmerising as the first time. Incredible performance by incredible musicians
also check out Give up the Ghost here on YT, the one where they are live on Kimmel or one of those talk shows. It is the most beautiful performance.. so otherworldly:)
This song describe perfect how you feel when you can't find a valid reason for which live.Then you ask why you should keep live when you find out that your life doesn't have any meaning. Thorm yorke can describe with this marvellous voice this excruciating discovery.

Not disagreeing with the rest of your comment but this is not finger picked, it’s played with a flat pick
I learned how to play it, and it's hard to keep going on this rhythm, not to mention the fact that you have to play the same exact time as another person.
I know how to play it how to sing it. But not both. Just an obvious presentation of hard work and dedication
he’s honestly singing just as good if not even better than the studio version

This has gotta be the best version of Street Spirit ever performed. It's absolutely perfect.

god, i’m so in love with this man 😔😔
Articles from the 90s said he had a vocal coach, and it's part of why he quit smoking. He was good here obviously but not entirely self-taught.
Chills. How he holds the notes perfectly with that Thom Yorke signature vibrato while perfectly guitar picking is pure talent. Love this band so much.

Especially when he sings fade out
You can really feel the desperation in his voice. A true song about death.
I agree, the way he sings out here is a lot better than the studio version
Thom's voice is just INCREDIBLE. I can't believe this is a live performance
the fact that he can play a complicated picking part so perfectly and still deliver such an emotional, immersive vocal performance is astounding

Block out any distractions, 100% focus.
Wanker
All those people in a Japanese 1995 shopping mall not knowing what masterpiece they just witnessed
Thoms voice is angelic man. The skill to pick those chords while singing and keeping your breathing under control is hella underrated too
It's really incredible how long he can hold those notes for.. I can play this on guitar and sing, but it's almost impossible for me to sing it like he did. What makes it more amazing is that he's a lot smaller than i am!
One of the greatest moments in Japanese history
The clarity of Thom’s voice in the chorus and the “immerse your soul in love” line... frisson.
It gave me an actual Stendhal Syndrome experience
Thom is an underrated guitarist. Street Spirit is a pretty damn intricate melody to pick while simultaneously singing that beautifully.
What? He's never been underrated at anything musical ever, especially playing guitar.
Agreed. It's definitely a tricky one to sing and play at the same time, however, with lots of practice your muscle memory eventually takes over. 'Body Snatchers' is another tough one to sing and play as well but Thom makes it look effortless. Such a brilliant musician....
Anyone can play guitar!
He's not fingerpicking, he's using a pick.
One of the most beautiful and talented musical performances ever captured on camera. The guitars, the vocals and the moment...pure talent and on the spot. We're blessed to have this.

Perfection. He hadnt even spawned OK Computer from his brilliant mind yet. I loved 95, a wonderful year for me.
this is even better than the original recording of it imo
The voice, the voice, the voice is so pure, what a gifted man.
amazing talent.
it's been 20 years and i still don't know what the other side of jonnys face looks like.
Its like the bass player from the strokes.
hahaha!!
This song describe perfect how you feel when you can't find a valid reason for which live.Then you ask why you should keep live when you find out that your life doesn't have any meaning. Thorm yorke can describe with this marvellous voice this excruciating discovery.
One of Thom's best performances, his voice is heard flawlessly here
Carlos Sánchez RIP ;(
