Reckoner Edited by Jeff Keiler
On August 23rd 2009, a group of Radiohead fans descended on the Výstaviště Holešovice Exhibition Hall in Prague on a mission to capture the band playing using as many different angles as possible. Bringing together the exceptional talents of many contributors, here's a glimpse of the result.

[@matthewguzman8599]

this has to be one of the best radiohead songs ever

[@erosvalenzuela591]

It's the best song they ever made

[@matthewguzman8599]

honestly im gonna cry the day thom yorke passes

[@fisheatsyourhead]

It's among their best, but you can't say that things like pyramid song, how to disappear, and street spirit are worse than this.

[@reynross]

I cried when I last heard him sing this at ACL, literally took it beyond the moon with his vocal and on his birthday no less.

[@michelemorselli7047]

this has to be on of the best songs ever

[@jestar7775]

This song is so ethereal and moving. I like to think of it like if like there was a band of angels in heaven making rock music they would have a sound like this. Amazing shit.

[@svartendavo]

+Jestar77 7 That's a beautiful picture.

[@roryobrien3947]

that end jam could be twice as long and i would have no complaints whatsoever

[@slowerthandeath]

I've always thought that too! I wouldn't mind if the song was 15 minutes, with an extended ending with all the strings and reverbed electronics.

[@peitarchiapennylane6884]

Something about this song sends me to a place where I would rather be, always and forever, no matter what is going on in my life and in my head, it always brings me back to an imaginary land I dreamed up when I was five

[@miketaloumis5167]

the voice change at 3:18 makes me thrilled

[@ktj1212]

one of my favorite moments in contemporary rock music.

[@ddd1hhh]

That one second; that switch, is just amazing!!

[@WanquanInfoPlus]

I don't even connect this song with any particular meaning, but it still feels so meaningful!

[@stacymichelle4356]

maybe you haven't been in the right mood to connect with it. i have an existential crisis and this song means so much to me

[@WanquanInfoPlus]

Stacy Michelle i connect with it very very strongly, but it doesnt have a specific meaning to me

[@attilamurvai3108]

this is truly special about radiohead isnt it? :)

[@titusng7924]

So connect to me. Put the song In religion point of view; Christian point of view n it become make sense to u 👍

[@Carlyraehepatitisbs]

titus ng Assuming English isn't your first, second or third language.

[@mikemcm]

Greatest song in history. By my favorite band.

[@gouthamkgh]

The ending just blows my mind. The subtle guitar riff is ethereal !

[@kardez13]

Jonny playing the lemon and piano, just kills it for me. I need a 10 hour outro of this

[@Izzy-cu9do]

I was there!! Best gig ever!!

[@Jfwlr13]

the best outro in modern music,

[@Rsy1981]

Dedicated to all human beings.......

[@Suzannnneeee]

this song is what perfection is, it gets me every time

[@qdchang]

the outro makes everything better

[@emersynwood180]

I'd cry as soon as they got out the tamborine coz you just know

[@Velourium]

I wish you could hear this song like we do. It's a much better world where we live.

[@thatpolodude]

I am so glad this guys met each other and decided to make a band!!

[@dippdnots]

So true.... I thought they were pretty good you know, nice and mellow, good sound. Then i went and saw them live and.... Dunno man, the experience is unlike any concert I've ever been to.

[@OrionNebuleuse]

ils sont incroyables... cette musique m'étonnera toujours, la version studio, en live.... incredible

[@awestruckperson]

they are incridible... this music i listen eveyday, the studio version, or live... incredible Am I right?

[@precessionoftheequinoxes3224]

Reckonerrrrrrrrrr............take me with youuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

[@findlae11]

This is outstanding footage, thank you so much for posting! My favourite song of all time.

[@erosvalenzuela591]

This is one of the best songs ever made

[@gutsnme]

Thoms voice is as fresh as the morning dawn. Just magnificent! I could listen to this all day long

[@b_rad111]

Hauntingly beautiful

[@cookiewaa]

I used to just skip this song because all i wanted to hear was weird fishes and all i need. Now it's one of my favorites. I guess i used to skip all i need too because i only wanted to hear weird fishes but then that also became one of my favorites. Then again, i also used to skip weird fishes because black star, present tense and airbag was what i wanted to hear, now it's one of my many favorites. Though in hindsight, i also used to skip present tense because etc etc etc. I guess i'll just keep going until i stop skipping and just bask in the splendor of everything that is radiohead

[@MM-vs2et]

I used to skip Reckoner because of it's intrusive drum and percussion that blasts you at high volume at the start

[@reckoner5113]

Reeeeeeeeeckonaaaaaaaa aaaa oooohh

[@mathensful]

Wow! Great job producing and compiling all the camera angles...terrific!

[@mune.3372]

lemon

[@garyavenell6911]

still makes me go cold every time I here this song

[@lucasag246]

Amazing setlist here

[@kennyoneightwo]

The best moment of this video is 0:00-5:03... my God, I WAS SO BLESSED TO GO TO THIS CONCERT!!! I WAS THERE, GUYS... STILL CAN'T BELIEVE IT....

[@GenonGenaro]

So fuckin' inspiring. Thanks radiohead for this epic masterpiece!

[@whoseontrial]

hauntingly beautiful

[@THEPAPAKOALA1]

The song is fucking amazing

[@kanal-zm4qt]

that's even better than studio version

[@Auteckre]

Nice. These guys have so much heart.

[@quebinhowen3992]

Awesome!!!

[@ikakika1745]

This song completes In Rainbows. I love all the songs on it but most of them contain themes that they have touched in previous albums. I think In Rainbows would be very different without Reckoner

[@scottcreek942]

Amazing.. amazing..

[@k.andy.5381]

Wie schön ist das denn bitte

[@PredragJanjatov]

Damn good performance!

[@rrze]

perfection

[@DanielFerri]

This is fucking good.

[@alexkunev87]

Amazing guitar rift, probably bested only by Let Down and Android. The song is definitely a super climax to In Rainbow's structure, is is so hypnotizing, and at the same time elevating. Sounds better live than in studio.

[@VqVick]

Amazing

[@MrPippuccio73]

chills

[@BuddyWillis]

Thom's strumming is so smooth Also, I'm gonna need the tabs for the lemon

[@ultimaro]

you win lottery if they perform you this song live :-O

[@Agentt4777]

Fucking flawless

[@Anshulkatta]

echo makes it more awesme

[@orlando3project]

Radiohead fantastic sound :-)

[@Duncanthepianoman]

epic

[@radioivan18]

3:32 colin is a badass!

[@90betzua]

♥

[@firecatforty]

@themongboy Yep, it's Jonny. Honestly, if you ever hear an unidentifiable sound in a Radiohead song you can pretty safely bet it's him.

[@TheAppletaffy]

@jurgnn Its a technique called head voice, only really expirienced singers who know what their doing can do it, but it Thom Yorkes case its because he has a naturally high ranged voice. Jeff Buckley was very good and mixing head voice and 'normal' chest voice together.

[@AlmostHarmlessRabbit]

There is a gap between you and me. I'm sure, our secret worlds built in ourselves by a "simple" song like this, will never intersect with each other. Good luck in yours with other songs, I would dive in mine by this masterpiece. Maybe you change your mind if you take a last try with this flying in rainbows.

[@calebdaniel7]

After Radiohead there is no one...

[@BlackIroni]

@gweflj I strongly agree with you there!

[@pantapdiazho]

@BuddyWillis Your coment made me laugh so hard XD

[@thomthe]

its called confidence..

[@pantapdiazho]

@kennyoneightwo damm... ur so friken lucky my good friend

[@steverzilly]

@sahn365 I completely agree with you

[@lightwolf345]

@themongboy That would actually be good 'ol Johnny on the keys.

[@Thedahdumdum]

@PawlikDoc Thanks but I'd like to actually go to the gig.

[@tclayton17]

@davemorphine Whatever his voice is always great

[@leandrovalea2825]

[@Crunchieman]

iiinnn raaiiiiinnnnnnnnn- iinnn raaaaaiiiiinnnnnnbbbooooooowwwwwwwwsssssssss UH-UHU

[@instinctssuck]

it's really attractive dansing, i dare say.

[@amn35iac]

@tasimana I guess you have not been paying attention! ;)

[@sarbool]

do you feel the samething while listenning to this music?

[@Thedahdumdum]

does anyone know when their touring the king of limbs?

[@c3sar0]

every band on Earth just got PWNED!!

[@tomgarden]

@TheAppletaffy falsetto (head voice)

[@SuperMilkThistle]

haaa

[@tabbyybbat]

@gweflj got to agree. if mozart were alive today he'd be hanging with thom yorke...

[@justclayhead]

@daylenriggs They're monitors.

[@aki3aka]

@MrNesk04 :D

[@instinctssuck]

why does thom yorke move so well?

[@ericjab]

Why 2024 still HKALE 2007 when they release new music for free

[@rugerdern1554]

I can definitely hear John Frusciante's influence in this song, beautiful!

[@JackAHT]

Ruger Dern the uses the same idea as scar tissue.....where u play only the necessary notes of the chord, so u end up with a nice space between the high and low notes.......if ur interested I think the intro riff is root notes and a third an octave up...... John and radiohead go together very well sometimes, a tour together would be perfect

[@artuscesarzara3513]

Thom has said that the guitar part were a homage to John Frusciante's "can't really pick" style of guitar playing

[@MrNesk04]

1:05 - 1:07 Phil approves

[@ZamBarabaTuzka]

the only band that is close to Radiohead is Arcade Fire in my opinion

[@daylenriggs]

Why does Thom always wear those ear pieces during concerts?

[@basskameel]

If I was putted in a solitary they may torture me as much as they want with this music. amen

[@tasimana]

They're coming to oz and tix sold out before I knew it.

[@platinumdynamite]

@daylenriggs So he can hear himself. It's not uncommon that you aren't able to hear yourself at all on concerts like that and can easily go out of tune.

[@HolidayToday]

у тома ёрка гитара как у барни самнера.!

[@waiting4smtin]

there's always that 1 idiot who dislikes anything.

[@titusng7924]

This is the song's meaning, I have break it down, hopefully for radiohead lovers like me can enjoy such masterpiece inside out. Thanks to Thom Yorke and Radiohead. Also thank God for the creation of them. (Remarks: the translation is best i can do) 1. Reckoner in religion point of view is "god". God judges whether you going to heaven or to hell. 2. You can't take your life with you

[@iliveonatropicalisland6086]

Is Thom a religious person?

[@gabrielrudasb]

It is an interesting interpretation. I have read somewhere that In Rainbows, but especially this song, is inspired by Goethe's 'Faustus'. This does not contradict your interpretation since Goethe's classic book is about knowledge and God. Maybe the only thing is that the rainbows have to do also with Goethe's ideas on colors and light.

[@weirdgetsaround]

i think your interpretation is interesting pal. i think if the song, with a vocal that is gorgeous even by thoms standards, can give people solace, then its serving its purpose. and i say this coming from what is, to say the least, a lapsed catholic perspective

[@Chinaboatman]

His vocal is all over the place. This wasn't their greatest gig.

[@GoldenKennyBania]

@gweflj They are damn good for sure, but I wouldn't quite go that far. Specifically, as you can probably guess by my name, I'm referring to Pearl Jam. But yes Radiohead is otherworldly live.

[@fidelcastro]

you mean don't try pearl jam?

[@Superjodi1969]

Any hints who can sing better than Thom.

[@Udovica70]

try pearl jam ;)

[@Thedahdumdum]

When ar they touring King of Limbs???

[@zenodoeleman3135]

Then what do you classified as a good song? Is Beethoven's moonlight sonata a bad piece of music because it is slow? Many think of it as beautiful and a work of pure emotion. But if I take what you said and apply it to then I guess the moonlight sonata is a piece of crap.

[@InsomniumX]

@gweflj I consider Pink Floyd, King Crimson and Porcupine Tree to be above Radiohead. Maybe Portishead sliiiightly under. But that's it, I get what you mean--Radiohead are otherwordly!

[@gweflj]

The problem is once you've seen them you can't go and see anyone else because they sound completely shit by comparison. That goes for other bands who's studio albums I love too. They're just on another level, simple as that.
