kid a - thom yorke auckland 2024

[@louvivian520]

I heard Kid A was on the setlist and searched this immediately. Thanks for posting!

[@ytaccount9859]

It's wild how these kid a amnesiac era songs are being performed more faithfully to the records than when I've seen RH do them...they really make more sense as these glitchy electronic soundscapes with Thom just vibing out. Love it

[@evo2542]

1:14 Thom Yorke discovering a new move. You can see him slow down, think about it, then commit to freezing

[@Htheorphanarian]

i know, I've seen them billions of times, either live or in video, and I've never seen that, it's awesome, and fits the mood of the song so much. It kinda reminds me of the freezeframe at the end of one of those brilliant episodes of true detective season 1, the episode with the 'monster at the end of the dream'..

[@erika.csiszar]

Waooo.Yesssss...A huge performance...I can only admire Thom for managing such a concert on his own.All of this shows great practice and experience, professional preparation and preparations. Huge respect. ❤

[@marnoster]

Yeah if he was Elon Yorke the rest of his band mates would have been made redundant

[@ollyollyolly]

This tour has been the greatest gift to Radiohead fans in years. I so hope he does the UK too...

[@pushthetempo2]

Such an intimate performance with just him on stage. I dont usually like people with phones out at gigs, but thank you for filming this and putting it up!

[@astrid5135]

thank you for posting this for us sad folks that can't go 😢 how i love this little guy

[@carrozo]

COME ON, KIDS!

[@elkurtz1579]

Yes, come on kids!

[@popjam7744]

easy

[@evo2542]

Seriously, either Thom yorke should consider re-recording some stuff just as a fun solo thing, or we need some good live performance recordings

[@watchhiddenside]

This show needs to be recorded, the setlist is awesome

[@sph33_]

Thank you for posting all these! Thom seems really happy.

[@loritroiano9843]

Thank you sooooooo much for posting these. Just really needed this a lot. My soul needed this

[@alexallister1586]

A legend to film all these! Great sound too!!

[@javieraclerc821]

I got to see this show in Melbourne and it was sublime

[@vxants]

god i want a remix album with these versions of songs

[@pliozhkapliozhkapliozhkapl7414]

this song is such a lullaby i love it

[@pliozhkapliozhkapliozhkapl7414]

lemme drown in those synths

[@SaharMaorLevy]

Finally my favorite Radiohead song is played

[@mopizi]

you're crazy if its your favorite lol i respect that

[@SaharMaorLevy]

@@mopizi my favorite

[@maty8918]

@@mopizinah its good, you can call it creepy if you want, but its so good. And in the ending, that distorted scream and the transition to the national anthem its pure gold

[@mopizi]

@@maty8918 I know its good. I love it, but favorite?

[@maty8918]

@@mopizi easily could be my favorite, but airbag solos

[@B.e.m.o.]

This is so special. Fuck yeah, thom

[@jmanitta]

Thank you for capturing this, sincerely

[@elkurtz1579]

I lovvve kid a so much!

[@GIBKEL]

Good on ya Elly. Wish I had been there.

[@gretafigueroa878]

¡Maravilloso!

[@fallenangelcrimson]

i wonder what kid a would sound like on his acoustic guitar x3

[@joshuatraxler7766]

Like this. John Mayer cover. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZ7Ji4uQp9ShjZosi=msdxlcO9BvOwfHV_

[@ytaccount9859]

have you heard the john mayer version? whether you like him or not his version of Kid A is pretty great IMO

[@fallenangelcrimson]

@@ytaccount9859 i have and it’s pretty bizarre (good)

[@gitaivinshtok5012]

Can someone explain to me, how is the backing track changing? Is Sam Pettes Davies doing live sequencing, or is the track just pre-recorded?

[@invisiblehomesband]

No pre-recorded in an audio sense. He's using a MIDI and control voltage sequenced arrangements running the synths. Hence, he can knob twiddle like he does when he cuts the decay on the notes in the Prophet synth in the intro.

[@bridger19742]

@@invisiblehomesbandduh 😂

[@innerspearmusic]

@@invisiblehomesbandthat doesn't explain what happens from 2 min onward. Hes singing who is doing the rest.

[@jimboobism]

@@innerspearmusic its most likely MIDI sequences triggering the different parts, all preprogrammed but not pre recorded audio.

[@watchhiddenside]

@@innerspearmusic it's a midi sequence

[@OProvedorDeServiços]

I don't think I've ever heard Thom Yorke or a human singing KID A

[@PGG81]

Grazie Dio ❤

[@RottenPlantPot]

this is the best live performance of kid a. I can't belive he reinvented the song.

[@solarflaresmusic9267]

not even close. This is hardly a reinvention, it's just with drum machines and more electronics instead of the band. It's still cool.

[@AyyyGabagool]

My brother in christ, Bonnaroo 2006

[@RottenPlantPot]

@@AyyyGabagool I respect your decision but in my personal opinion, I think Belfort 2003 is as great or slightly better. But if we talk objectively now… Berlin 2000 is the GOAT.

[@soundstation8343]

I LOVEEEEEE 😭

[@anoldmafio]

Thank you!!!

[@nietzschebuchannon584]

Best live performance ever of this song

[@ytaccount9859]

right??? fucking a one

[@Barthezrh]

[@NarrowShouldersOpenMind]

Has he ever performed this without heavy vocal effects? Awesome.

[@dulich8931]

He did, check out kid a (early)

[@innerspearmusic]

Literally every time live, yes.

[@NarrowShouldersOpenMind]

@@innerspearmusic well that’s just not true

[@Dankquidity]

@@NarrowShouldersOpenMind ​I'm willing to bet that he has performed it way more often without vocal effects. Correct me if I'm wrong, but he performed Kid A with vocal effects only during the 2012 tour.

[@alexisgomez3015]

❤

[@IronicleseAndSardoniclese]

Noice!

[@daz0086]

In nz the the crowd do nothing.

[@mankasmodera1211]

They are polite and enjoy the sound and performance unlike it's in some other parts of the world. It's kind of cultural thing since this is more like intimate show even though it's in a large hall. I don't like hacklers and people shouting shit next to me in the middle of Exit music like "I love you Thom" and other BS. Tickets are pricey to spend the money on drunk assholes trying to sing-along with Thom. This is not punk show, it's an artistic performance that requires audience to be respectful towards the artists.

[@infernojim]

My kinda crow’s. I don’t wanna hear some drunk idiot that chat through the whole show or worse still decide he can sing as Thom does and do that really loudly throughout. These videos show the perfect crowd - hollering after songs and in appropriate bits within the songs but not ruining throughout. Ideal

[@arturocoldplayer]

Yeah.. nobody likes a drunk dude screaming loudly cringe things to thom… BUT, these kind of crowd are almoust ghostly.. pretty low exitement as far i see.

[@ytaccount9859]

I saw radiohead in Georgia in the USA in an arena and it was dead silent during their most intimate tracks. Sometimes you just gotta stand there in awe
