It's almost criminal to have a Beatles shirt on and not be familiar with Radiohead, I consider them kind of like the modern day Beatles or at least for their (my) generation. They evolved just like the Beatles did and pulled an abrupt left turn right after they were being hailed as the saviors of rock and roll and made a radically different set of records. They actually did an entire mini-concert on Jools Holland right around the time they radically changed their sound. It's only about an hour and a half and it's just brilliant and i would love to see someone react to it. It's them at the height of their powers although a lot of people would say that's during the In Rainbows period. The two basement sessions they did are among my favorite things musically ever and they were both after this period so what do I know.

[@UncleGwendolyn]

What James said.

[@Andytheashton]

Thom Yorke also said he based Paranoid Android on happiness is warm gun. Two of the greatest artists ever intertwined

[@kierstenridgway4634]

I call BS! ❤✌️ To be fair, I only read the the first line. Cause it was BS. 😂

[@ginafragata2947]

I agree totaly

[@Moder6969]

You guys gotta do a reaction to Bending Hectic from the Smile. Probably my favorite ever besides All I Need from Radiohead so good!

[@MoreMeetArthur]

Great suggestion!

[@tomhillton4299]

Live version (first ever performance) or studio performance?

[@PeteJake100]

That's certainly the Smile song I'd start with.

[@grapegirl]

It's not a synth, it's a mellotron on the 'rain down' choral section that jonny plays.

[@taz454]

For me, this is Radiohead's best performance of Paranoid Android. Its perfect. Great reaction, boys 👍 If you're not familiar with the album - Ok Computer, then as music connoisseurs you really should know it, it's one of the great albums.

[@MoreMeetArthur]

Strongly agree, glad you enjoyed it!

[@christopherk7034]

The song is so big and seemingly out of control, it’s hard to take in on first listen, especially live. Ultimately, despite its hard rock feel, it’s a classical piece of music, progressive in nature, requiring familiarity to adequately assess. Excellent reaction, please do more Radiohead, the smile, and or live performance of ATOMS FOR PEACE (with Flea on bass) Cheers!

[@exert2020]

Atoms For Peace (Amok) actually surprised me. Really good record actually. Play it more than any of their solo stuff. The Smile records are great too!

[@user-ud7ko4cq1n]

There were 3 albums that changed my life from 1997 through 2000. 1997- Radiohead/ OK Computer (nuff said) 1998- Modest Mouse/ Lonesome Crowded West (back before they got commercial. rawwwwwwwww as fuck) 2000- Godspeed You Black Emperor/ Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennae To Heaven (an avant-garde sonic masterpiece)

[@GeneticVehicle]

Almost impossible to find for some reason. Later... Jan 2008 Bodysnatchers Weird Fishes/Arpeggi 15 Step House of Cards

[@joshuapocalypse]

Watch In the Basement sessions. Will not be disappointed. Also, Pyramid Song.

[@n.ringheim7720]

Try out Radiohead "weird fishes" from the basement recording session that is a live recording on KZbin

[@CameraNostalgiaClub]

If you ever fancy doing a Radiohead album I think you’d appreciate “In Rainbows” I would like to see your take on it. Also the Ben Howard End of the Affair performance is arguably the best Jules Holland performance in my opinion but would be cool to see some more of them 👍

[@sebastianb7540]

Bjork Hyperballad was great on Jools

[@scatterkeir]

very good choice.

[@ap7498]

Thanks for the reaction. Who thinks Thom Yorke isn’t an amazing singer/vocalist/musician???

[@MoreMeetArthur]

Crazy people that’s who!!

[@cyclops60]

As a music illiterate in my 60's I hardly understood a word you said but still enjoyed it! When I first got to know Paranoid Android I thought they'll never be able to do it justice live, so I was completely blown away when I saw this, easily 95 for me! OK Computer is a masterpiece of an album and they didn't settle on that formula, continuing to innovate with Kid A and beyond. The video for this is wild too! A stand out Jools later performance for me is Sleaford Mods, Jobseeker. Cheers.

[@MoreMeetArthur]

Thank you for the comment! I (Dan left guy) should give OK computer another go, it gets a lot of love

[@cyclops60]

@@MoreMeetArthur It definitely needs a few listens but is well worth it!

[@DelmarWyatt]

Check out street spirit great song nice version is in Japan with Thom and the lead guitar player it's killer!

[@MoreMeetArthur]

Yes! Love this performance - Will add it to the list

[@ginafragata2947]

From the basement soou amazing ❤

[@skincarewipes]

If ever there was a 99, this is it

[@troubleondemand7703]

I am sure I am forgetting a ton, but the 1st Jools performance that came to mind was Bjork doing Bachelorette.

[@simonperry88]

Live from the basement In rainbows and the king of limbs are Radioheads best two youtube vids, check them out guys

[@jameshannagan4256]

The hour and a half Jools Holland mini-concert is pretty great too.

[@e._.cstatic]

Queen or tightrope by Janelle monae on jools Holland is one of the most phenomenal jools Holland performances imo

[@cathyaldridge4550]

You guys should check out The Daily Mail. It's sublime. Nice reaction.

[@lorcanfeely6371]

You should try the Basement recordings

[@ryangregory9384]

Check out "The Bends" live on Jools Holland!

[@dxchea]

Synchronized soda drinking at 5:58. lol

[@kerrydowner2323]

Great reaction - such a memorable performance. This was my era - I was about 18... such memories! Perhaps not your thing necessarily but you're unlikely to see a more impassioned performance on JH than Mary J Blige, No More Drama...2002, it's simply epic. Thank your for your great, honest and educated reactions.

[@lk-music]

Jools Holland performance to watch: McAlmont & Butler - You Do (kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKbJZWt9atZ4hrs) When this was aired, everybody in the family fell completely silent for the whole thing, and none of us had even heard of McAlmont, or Butler! I still get goosebumps on top of my goosebumps watching it. By far the most memorable performance I've seen on Jools Holland.

[@derekruairc334]

You are twins. Great reaction. I've just got into them. I'm 57. Please do Weird Fishes - wow!

[@MoreMeetArthur]

Have you heard Lianne La Havis do Weird Fishes? That's truly an exceptional cover! Might have to do both 👀

[@UncleGwendolyn]

The Wierd Fishes live on Jools is special too.

[@patc88]

Basement sessions 15 step

[@SpookyLuvCookie]

Pulp's 'I Spy' from Jools Holland is a bit good.

[@timholder6825]

The Jools Holland REM performance. What about looking a bit further back and taking a look at some of the live performances on, The Old Grey Whistle Test. Everyone who was anyone did OGWT. Like everyone who counted. One particularly (IHMO) good performance is, The Tubes, doing, White Punks On Dope.

[@Tlotoxl]

Seasick Steve’s first appearance on Jools Hootananny is very good, “doghouse boogie” . Broadcast on the 2006/7 show. BTW I think the 2001 appearance of Radiohead on Jool’s show was a better performance of Paranoid Android.

[@jaywilson2018]

I like the musical intertwining Melodie’s - gave off some hypnotic mystical far east vibes. Ain’t got a bananas what the dude is singing he sounds like he has severe sunburn and is trying to walk with out his clothes rubbing on his burns so yep he’s sounds like he’s in pain - like the pain I’m suffering listening to him. First time hearing this and in my opinion Listening to Radiohead is like trying to negotiate a packed elevator with severe sunburn. I rate this song = finding 1 empty bottle of after sun care but a full bottle of Tabasco , when you need emergency cool soothing! Yup it’s a 1 outta whatever the scale is and yup he’s as bad as Coldplay 😊

[@PresidentHotdog]

I'd hate to hear what you do like

[@jaywilson2018]

@@PresidentHotdog I like real good music with singers that don’t sound like they’re in pain and I bet you’d love my music better than this hot garbage 😀
