This song certainly could be one of the greatest rock songs of all time, though you must bear in mind that Radiohead borrowed lots from other influences. Radiohead are actually a very humble band who perceive their influences' music to be far more intellectual than their own. They borrow lots from other genres such as classical music, avant-garde jazz, progressive rock etc., all of which use extremely advanced compositional technique. I wouldn't say this is one of the greatest compositions of all time, though definitely one of the greatest of its own time.

[@SteelStringGunSlinger]

The first time I heard this I was a melancholy 16 y/o. At 41 now it still resonates for the same and completely different reasons. I appreciate it so much more now, and I'm so sad that I've become so emotionally calloused with age

[@jfnshit772]

This song became a favorite of mine at the right moment in my life. I think im gonna listen to this specific performance a lot. Something about this performance just scratches all the right parts of my brain.

[@user-iz9co4qf6z]

Remember watching this when I was a teenager. I'd never heard anything like it. Amazing

[@Nathan-gd7xq]

Watching this reminds me that when Ok Computer came out, they were light years ahead of every other band.

[@mockingslur6945]

I saw them and Took in the same month. Before 9/11, I saw Radiohead, a month later I saw Tool, and Took was a lot better, but I still love Radiohead to this day.

[@justindaffin5442]

I'd lose my mind if Tool and Radiohead had a show together

King Crimson in the early 80's (Discipline, Beat and Three of a Perfect Pair) are pretty advanced, imaginative, textured, and complete, as well.

[@TheMemeDealer08]

radiohead is one of the only bands that you can blindfold someone, play the live version of a song and then the real one and they will be clueless as to which one is real

[@chrisking4636]

Incredible to pull this off live. Phenomenal job is an understatement.

[@maxxine7117]

wish i could live in this video forever. thom's voice is so much more expressive and beautiful in this performace than the studio version and jonny's guitar is especially satisfying. crazy how they could pull this off so well live.. seriously better than the album version

[@emayiladresi9057]

Seeing this performance renewed my faith in humanity. As long as there are people like these guys, there's hope...

[@myauralfixation]

I still remember seeing Radiohead in the '90s for the first time. They are such a great live band. I couldn't believe Thom's voice was even more beautiful live.

[@KrishnanSachin]

It's never shown now but the reaction of the other artists on the show after PA is finished is quite something. A mix of WTF was that and HTF do we follow that! Iconic.

Maximum respect and admiration to all bands capable of such a live performance. Amazing.

One of the greatest ever live performances ever to grace a stage to one of the best albums ever created. They hit this to prefection. David Grohl said he experienced music revolution in real time watching this performance.

[@nedim_guitar]

It's such an energetic performance, sparks fly! As close to perfection as it gets.

[@joedoyle5593]

My chest is all tensed up for the 50th time or so. I feel like the crowd, reminding themselves to start breathing again. Stupifyingly brilliant. Bravo!

[@amandajack5547]

Definitely the greatest ever live performance on this show, ever!

[@jamesmaybrick2001]

I was never that impressed. It always felt like a bunch of different radiohead songs jammed together. Sad really, this was the start of the decline. .

[@TrixieDevani]

​@@jamesmaybrick2001 Part of me is like "what did you say?" Other part of me totally respects it 😂😂😂 Very interesting opinion either way

[@samuelwilliams9224]

jonny's musicianship is off the charts, love the split patches of choir/strings/organ

[@Megadebt]

Absolutely genius. I can honestly say hearing this song as 12 years old totally blew my mind. The 90's was such an amazing time for the flourishing of music.

[@lesblack8996]

So many phenomenal performances on Jools' programme

[@corinacenturion7098]

One of the best songs I've heard in my life, it's an anthem and will continue to be heard forever. Radiohead is a very good band, I would say excellent, for me it is among the best. Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

[@triprack]

I was on a 500 mile drive by myself and found this CD in the crack between the seats. Had no idea what it was and listened to it all the way through. Religious experience.

[@dudleyburrow]

I was 15 when this was on TV. I stayed up to watch, then couldn't wait to talk about it at school on Monday. Up until then, I didn't think this could possibly be played live lol.

[@johnhopkinson4054]

This live version is unbelievable,the best i have seen and i have seen alot...

[@DrumsTheWord]

This album launched just at the right time for me. A perfect representation of how I felt at the time. It still stands up.

how has no one commented on how fresh everyone looks here? bono shades yorke in the baggy camo pants with chunky ass shoes (what are those shoes???) and Ed wearing jordans and jonny refusing to wear men's t-shirts. they were really just naturally hitting a peak here and it shows in how well all of it has held up thru the test of time.

my generations 'Beatles on the roof ' moment. Just incredible creativity - I still have no real clue as to what the song is about but it plugs in so deep emotionally.

[@nucleariamusic]

[@ryanbuckley3314]

Freddie at Live Aid, Jimi's Woodstock Improvisation, Zeppelin on BBC, Radioheaed on BBC. This performance is truly, one of the great rock shows ever.

Always makes me laugh that the foo fighters came on after them at this live studio broadcast, surely they must have though "Oh Bugger, don't fancy following that".

[@bmclaughlin01]

I’ll never forget seeing this the night it was first televised, everyone knew we were watching something special.
