Radiohead - Reckoner - Live From The Basement [HD]

[@tombratley6940]

In my opinion, Radiohead's best attribute as a collective is the lack of ego. Honest, incredible musicians each with individual talent in their own right. Lovely song from a brilliant band.

[@ripelivejam]

except ed of course. but someone has to look pretty. (i kid)

[@ericgl182]

Couldn't agree more, egoistic personalities can truly ruin collective creativity or even a band in the long run imo It is just amusing to see how deeply the band members compliment each other and just let music speak by itself

[@mrniceguy9212]

ripelivejam how dare you lol

[@Music-tg5is]

In stark contrast, compare Radiohead to the myriad of utterly talentless "performers" like all the egocentric rappers and autotuned singers who think they are the sh!t and think they're better than "ordinary people".

[@fernandovargasmejia740]

prevents them from fighting and believing that they individually are the band, when they all get amplified by each other's connection.

This is one of the best live performances I've ever watched. Thom's vocals are flawless.

+Abdulrahman Yousef I'd say his vocals do have flaws, which makes it more human and interesting to listen to

[@salsabilahmedshrestho960]

I'd say his vocal techniques are unmatched. when I started listening radiohead I couldn't see what was it about his vocals....but now, Oh my god his vibratos, I have never seen anyone do it like that. sounds like the smoothest water flow.

[@dumbbuddha1644]

My only complaint of this video is that I really wish the director focused the lens on Ed at 1:41 - 1:50. I've never seen anyone so happy.

[@kristinzeiber23]

I noticed that Ed, especially, is really happy throughout this entire From the Basement session. Colin and Philip are totally into the music and Jonny, as usual, is in his own world. Thom seems totally relaxed, and it's so cool to see him laugh and joke around. It's obvious from the video, and the performance, that they all get on really well. Thom's vocals are extraordinary. Of course, I've never heard a "bad" Radiohead performance. *FACEPALM* What am I saying? I don't think such a thing exists......

[@DavidRodriguez-km6mg]

[@AlejandroShredderDJ]

true

[@stepherdavis]

At a concert in Glendale, Arizona, Thom Yorke said, "..it [the song, Reckoner] was born out of a very trippy dream, one of those ones you wake up from and go, 'aww man, I don't want to wake up from that, ever." "Yet how superb, across the tumult braided, The painted rainbow's changeful life is bending, Now clearly drawn, dissolving now and faded, And evermore the showers of dew descending! Of human striving there's no symbol fuller: Consider, and 'tis easy comprehending - Life is not light, but the refracted color." -Faust

+Pleun Stork Can confirm, shaking things is hard.

[@marconico1012]

+Pleun Stork i lost it at the "beatiful fruit" part

[@eyesontheball6481]

Favorite part about this song: how the main guitar "oscillates" up and down just like a sine/cosine wave (e.g. - a traveling particle of light), and how extra emphasis is put on this idea as the song and guitar evolve. Literally genius. Incredible creativity!!

[@eyesontheball6481]

... and of course how there's interference/distortion in the guitar when Thom sings "dare not speak His name". And how they enter a new dimension at the climax of the song. And... And.... And....

Many people don't like Radiohead. I can understand them because, at first, it sounds weird. But if you open your mind to them and let them take you on the journey of their music you'll feel like something in you suddenly changes, something somewhere around some pain. At first, it can really look like something unpleasant; but once the door is crossed it turns into an energetic wonderland of neglected emotions, now ready to synergy, thus finding beauty in the unsightly. This is why there are mostly two kinds of people in the world: those who love Radiohead and those who don't, there is no space in between.
