[@parmidaz4877]

It's insane how much control Thom has on his voice!! It's so amazing!

[@foxtrails1929]

I don’t think Thom’s piano playing is recognized enough. Such a unique style and phrasing to the way he plays, very driven by left hand chord movement. I can almost always recognize a song he’s written before he even starts singing.

[@jayshah1794]

I’m pretty sure he doesn’t know how to read music. So he memorizes what to play and plays them in his own way. Super cool!

[@TheHabiat]

honestly. i think he's a bad singer and piano player. don't get me wrong. i really like radiohead and his solo stuff, but if this would be a unknown artist, he would be shredded to bits by reviewers (if they would).

[@SimeonGaniushin-w5y]

@@TheHabiat i see what you mean by that, but there is a strict difference between uniquity and mediocrity. Thom might not be able to play Chaikovsky concerto no 2, or reach all the notes of “Time to say goodbye” but nobody can deliver a performance of Radiohead and Thom Yorke’s music as mindblowing as Thom himself.

[@weirdofromspace2828]

@@TheHabiat I can see what you mean by “bad piano player” (although I don’t think you can call it bad in particular), cause even Chris Martin from Coldplay can play much more difficult pieces, but singer? What makes you think that? He has very beautiful strong voice, I enjoy his live performances and I wouldn’t like Radiohead so much if it wasn’t about his voice, his range is also pretty high. “Bones” is very hard song to sing, for example, and Exit Music is known for its beautiful climax. It isn’t mediocre. I’m just curious why would you think that.

[@JackMorgan06]

@@TheHabiat Why exactly? He is a great singer and is fine with piano, if not good.

[@AnnieBonnie-01]

When I see Thom Yorke sing and play an instrument, his movements I try to imagine how many things are happening inside his thoughts, he gets lost in something perhaps quite personal, He is an incomparable man, I stop everything to see him

[@Blugharm]

Actually what makes him so great is not that he is lost in his thoughts. He's inside the music he plays with all his spirit. That's what makes it so special..

[@TheBundyboy66]

He is a musical genius. There's no hiding place with only a keyboard and vocals and this is devastatingly beautiful...incomparable!

[@foxxieboi1752]

[@rcoimbra00]

the rhythms and chords, are there so well and intensely lived in his work that everything is creating a continued new transgressive horizon, or becoming, or alignment, always more and more pluridimensional organics from raw flesh and bone, through (dis)harmonies and voicings and wording, every time I come back I always get immersed and feel a part of it, and then leave and let go, all this impact flowing through all arteries and veins, and every cell becomes more alive and is living a/the more and more perfect circle but each time a little different, how well "everything is not in its right place", and that's ok, water is still wet, but if in each time a different water you'll always feel living through his art in expressing emotions and keep you in a kind of hipnotic moment or something, anyway, circle is perfect (or not!) 💯🍉🍓🍒🍅🍎🍉

[@scotrubi5296]

[@jackqtvsstuff715]

This performance is absolutely amazing, I watch this everyday.

[@traxus12]

3:35 Thom had the hidden syncopation of Videotape worked out even here, back in 2005. See his foot tapping the real downbeats in double-time; it's audible if you listen close.

[@andrewlarking7492]

I’m pretty sure in an interview I read that it was Jonny that was obsessed with the syncopation. Thom imagined it as a different song, but Jonny and I think Phil stayed in the studio and stripped everything out to what it finally became. Possibly read that in the king of gear site.

[@traxus12]

​@@andrewlarking7492 Thom has a firm grasp of the syncopation here, two years before the album's release and a year before Bonnaroo, so I'm going to venture a guess that he spawned the idea and the rest of the band loved it since they're all music nerds.

[@robocelot]

Even better -- he's not just foot tapping, he using the piano sustain pedal in a very subtle way, in addition to reinforcing the downbeats. What's interesting is this recording dates from the period before they dropped the double time section in _Videotape_, so this version without the rest of the band actually sounds more like the double time-less version that eventually appeared on _In Rainbows_.

[@dereknagle]

😮​@@traxus12

[@KevsShwaShwa]

I think what’s more interesting in how he cleverly just puts two eighth notes at the start to start the syncopation.
