Radiohead - Planet Telex (Live - Coachella 2004)

[@Spaztar]

There's a lot of well deserved praise for Jonny's opening guitar riff with the tremolo, but holy hell does Ed's outro sound absolutely incredible in this performance. It's already such a tasty riff, but it sounds so crisp and perfect here, and it really carries the song to a great conclusion.

[@RockyStradlin]

That's what I listen here, probably this and what he does in Airbag are really big contributions to give that special feeling for each song.

[@babyjony558]

its more crazy if you know that ed o brien who wrote this song(except the lyrics ofc) which hes rarely do that now

[@sarajohnson5653]

Love it. Thom has said Ed’s guitar work, especially on okc, set the vibe of the song.

[@zounds13]

Unexpectedly beefy tone there, too.

[@ilitomili5554]

I cant get over how awesome jonny's guitar sounds at the beginning.

[@ivanfunkyvillalpando113]

Tremolo

[@trickster_qc]

Indeed! Sounds like a ton of bricks!

[@jorgemadrigal5530]

Tremolo, Space Echo Delay, and Small Stone Phaser if you wanna achieve the sound.

[@jonah290]

I preferred the intro from the 90’s when he played it on a synth.

[@user-qs6vd2tv4k]

It's the kind of sounds that keeps resonating in your head even when not listening to it

[@thingnumbertwo2]

I was there for this. I remember going crazy when Thom gave his nod to the Pixies. Can you imagine the Pixies opening for Radiohead? I don't have to, because I witnessed it.

[@RicoMUBI]

🙌 Closest thing to a historic gig I'll probably ever see

[@reconnectbreath]

After driving 17 hours from Montana, myself and 3 friends pulled into Coachella with no tickets and 15 cases of delicious Montana beer. Thinking we would get arrested or kicked out within minutes for trying to sell the massive amount of alcohol, we weren't. Instead, within 3 hours I'd sold all the beer, had a ticket for both days, and $400 in my pocket. To say the show was amazing is an understatement. I was only 21 at this show, but I had already seen some of the best live bands in the world including Pearl Jam, Neil Young, Beck, Phish, Beastie Boys, the Rolling Stones, and a lot more. However, during this entire show I didn't clap once. I stood there with my jaw open and cried. I'd heard of people crying at Radiohead shows but I always figured they were just being dramatic. Nope. No drama involved. Just an unexplainable energy combined with a stage presence unlike anyone else. The coolest part? A few days before Coachella Radiohead was doing a show in LA. Halfway through the show, they had to stop because Thom's throat was in pain. He went to the doctor and was notified he had voice nodules. The doctor told him he needed to take a vocal rest. Thom replied that he was headlining Coachella and asked the doctor what might happen if he played in just a few days. The doctor responded by telling him he might permanently lose his voice. Thom, being a massive Pixies fan, couldn't turn down the opportunity to follow playing the Pixies after their 9 year reunion show. So he said fuck it, and did it anyway. We knew all this gong in and were wondering..."Will he lose his voice forever tonight!?" He didn't. However, he does make a nice nod to the Pixies as you can see in this video :) I am now 38, have traveled to 30+ countries, seen a lot in my life. No other performance I've seen tops this show. Creativity and passion at it's absolute finest!

@@booled1 The RE-20 Space Echo has a function where you can hold the pedal down & the delay will go on infinitely & gradually get faster. He's holding it, then letting go, then holding it to make the echo speed up & slow down. Sounds like he has his phaser on really fast as well.

[@roolaing]

They wrote this in the studio after coming back from a Greek Restaurant, the producers were very much to thank for it. They started building it with drums from a b-side then Thom did his vox in one take at about 2am. Masterpiece and Album opener. Can’t remember where I heard that, but it’s on YT and always stuck with me.

[@head9503]

At least once a year (sometimes 6 months only) I get again in a huge radiohead phase where I only listen to them and I know I got to a point of no return when I can listen to plenty of their lives concerts in the same day. I won’t complain tbh, in plus, every time I discover songs I’d used to know but didn’t like more than that for some reasons They’re so fckin good it’s inspiring man

Isnt anyone going to mention how great the bass sounds on this version?

[@Greenplastics]

At some point you can see a chunk of another song: Ed playing the guitar which he normally uses for Myxomatosis. I think he uses it for All I Need too. But this was before In Rainbows. This video is taken from a Coachella dvd compilation, which I have. Same mistake on that video too.

[@Greenplastics]

Apart from the bit where Ed is playing the other guitar, probably taken from Myxomatosis, I've also noticed that in some chunks of video Jonny is playing the Fender Starcaster, instead of the Telecaster. That seems to be taken from I Might Be Wrong, judging by the way he's playing it.

Backing vocals and i think he also plays guitar.

[@Greenplastics]

He does lots of ambient sounds with his guitar and his many pedals. Details which most people won't notice. He can create all sorts of weird sounds, which you might think that they were done with synths. Up to OK Computer he was mostly doing normal guitar stuff. Not many solos, but plenty of riffs, arpeggios and rhythm. You should check out the beauty of the part he plays on Exit Music. It's not easy to find a video where you can see him properly and understand what he's doing.
