Paranoid Andriod live Brad Mehldau

[@guyalizi974]

One of the best pianists of our time. He will be remembered decades from now.

[@robertpehlman5195]

KZbin really made me search hard for this version, but this version is THE version IMO.

[@simonvanroij4182]

agreed. i think josh cohns version is savage but i feel he over did it. he started at 100 from bassically the start

[@OsborneCox.69.420]

absolutely! someone else uploaded this same version back in 2010 and it was removed a few years later. i was devastated and couldn’t find it anywhere else until now.

[@simonchanin]

Yes! Couldn’t agree more!

[@rgwa555]

@@OsborneCox.69.420 I had the same experience, glad it got reauploaded, it is favourite version.

[@beautifulnoise2846]

Agree! Wish there was a live

[@OsborneCox.69.420]

This version used to be on KZbin back in the 2010’s and it was removed! I’m so thankful you re-uploaded it! This is Brad’s ultimate rendition of Paranoid Android!

[@НикитаМорозов-т7у]

Check his 20 min version tho!

[@daviddelayat-dnapictures]

Exactly the one I listened to 12 years ago !!!

[@OsborneCox.69.420]

@@daviddelayat-dnapictures Unfortunately, many of his live concert performances have disappeared from KZbin since that time. I’m thankful for this being uploaded again.

[@bzztserompio2972]

Amazingly nuanced harmonic arrangement!!

[@ciararespect4296]

Excellent. Was singing along with it 😂

[@maureenclement2553]

Brilliant!!! Thank you❤️🌸🤗

[@cdube134]

I always listen to that song with the same feeling and overwhelming emotion, for me when I take the time to listen to it completely and silently I feel like it's a detailed story of my lifetime like since I'm born to the day I die in just one song. Thinking that life is just a series of challenge that leads you to enjoy the sweet and nice but short moments that could accur through all that crap sometimes. Makes me cry all the time damn you Brad !

[@tracypalmer5774]

Great distinction between notes that matter and notes that don’t! Loved it.

[@anastasiakalafat1736]

so far his best cover of Paranoid Android!

[@humanonearth1]

Omg the punctuated, syncopated jazz rhythm is making me believe in humanity again. Rediscovering old favs rules.

[@ytpaletot1]

Absolument magnifique !!!

[@tubinonyou]

This is his best performance of Paranoid Android, hands down!

[@GianlucaBusolo73]

Saw him live many years ago in a beautiful theatre, I still remember the emotion when he played this song

[@CO-jt7ih]

is this version from his concert in Perugia?

Amazing

Köszönöm Brad😊

[@marcobianchi3898]

Grandissimo!!

[@5kukac]

luv it

[@joelthebritishcolumbian545]

I wonder how much of this is improvised, does he ever loose his place in the song in the moment and meander back to where he should be? I get the feeling playing this song was as much of a journey of discovery for him as it is for us.

[@quint555]

I think he knows his shit too well to truly get lost when improvising

[@coppellpianoshop3812]

Hi Joel. It is hard to answer this question but it is fun to think about it. I think Brad has a particularly unique talent which allows him to play syncopations that are beyond the reach of most of us. Knowledge being experiential, we are left to guess at what it is like to play at his level. That said, patterns can be practiced and learned, then spliced together - (seamlessly, one would hope) - which give the illusion of brilliance. What we think of as talent might just be the product of dedicated practice and skill development. When our skills are fully developed, our musical "style" is just a dialect of the language called music. Could someone improvise within that dialect with such perfection that the listener cannot discern error from intention? Yes, I suppose that is possible.

[@catsdogs7891]

My best !

[@humanonearth1]

I want to brew him my moka pot special coffee and then ask him to do this on a harpsichord.

[@bigmontoto]

Bellisimo

[@lascione62]

Can anybody indicate what album is this version included in? I know it is not Largo, nor Tokyo. I have been acquainted with it for almost twenty years now.

[@chonkmonk8927]

I will have your result tommorow good sir

[@coolinr9302]

mon chien stupide score

[@lindante3584]

Me too, I've been listening to it since 2005 and I still don't know which album it's in

[@kruddy3627]

this earlier version is better than the 2002 version on Largo, I was getting some Mandela effect vibes on Spotify until I found this one. I think it's from Deregulating Jazz which was only released as a promo and explains why it isn't on Spotify. I remember having it as a promo at a record store I worked at.

[@VibhasPatil]

I think this is on the release titled, "Deregulating Jazz"

[@humanonearth1]

YES

[@elisavieira737]

❤️

[@odranreb000]

In which album is this version available? I always thought that is on “Largo” album but Spotify plays another version in trio

[@chievolis317]

Numero 1 tutti gli altri non son nessuno.

[@elliotcheung7007]

Holy fuck

[@BB-dt3xl]

DAMN!!! (That is all...)

[@serbalor]

how can I get the sheet?

[@SPEEDMANGREECE]

There ain't no clear sheet lots of this is just improv

[@vaclavmichalekmusic]

I think your best shot is with Michael Lucke's video / page

[@ciararespect4296]

Just memorise it like i did

[@joseserrano3543]

Like si estás aquí por Alvinsch

[@cortomu1588]

ca retourne le cerveau, on est pris au piè🙃ge

[@giorgiasiracusa368]

Great pianist but in the final section there are too many variations from the original version.
