Radiohead - Street Spirit (Fade Out) Live (1996)

[@rossfregia6922]

The 90's were not ready for these guys.

[@Airakobra]

We still aren't. I sometimes honestly feel that I don't deserve to live in the same era that those guys are around making their music. So thankful to have watched them live.

[@syadoga]

theyre still not ready

[@grendelum]

Dude, we were *_totally_* ready...

[@betulceyhan8519]

90s were better than nowadays

[@borysmakarski6680]

They still are like twenty years forward... OK Computer is kind of prophercy... actually like never....

[@Hollowsmith]

A subtle thing about Street Spirit is the speed is just SLIGHTLY slower than your ear wants it to be. It keeps feeling like it should speed up a tiny bit and never does, which forces this almost slow-motion beauty to the melody and timing. A beautiful song.

[@nvvm_x5599]

Probably one of the best ways to ever describe this song

[@ethanskywalker]

Interesting how this element of the song was depicted in the music video!

[@MegaArchiebald]

listen to the These Grey Men version. Seems at just the right speed.

@@johnjosephdejesus8524 Radiohead has 2 great albums, The Bends and OK Computer, While Pink Floyd has 4 masterpieces they call albums, not to mention that each of the members are much more talented with there respective instruments than Radiohead. Not to say Radiohead isn't good, but Pink Floyd manages to write 23 minutes of pure bliss, while Radiohead can hardly keep me interested with a 6 minute song.

[@noerom17]

SomeGuyOnTheInterweb OK Computer is the best album ever, better than any of pink floyd’s. And what about The Bends, Kid A and In Rainbows? 🙌🏼 In the next years the history will put to Radiohead in the correct place. The top

[@someguyontheinterweb3661]

@@noerom17 Dark Side of The Moon, Wish You Were Here, and Animals are all better than OK computer. Johnny Greenwood can't come up with good solos so he just plays random notes like in Paranoid Android, Thom Yorke is probably a better singer than Roger Waters, but David Gilmour is better than all of them, and while Radiohead sounds like Pink Floyd at times, Pink Floyd is like nothing I have ever heard before. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of Radiohead, my favorite album by them is The Bends, but Pink Floyd was a group of good musicians who worked together to make amazing music, while Radiohead is just the Thom Yorke band.

[@SMSJSC]

Brilliant. I think this is even better than the studio version... and that's saying something. Hard to believe it's very nearly 20 years now. God, how I miss music like this.

[@arturomartin]

+Stuart S Indeed. This performance is from out this world…

[@Citiesinmotionplayer]

+Stuart S It's a bit slower, and the studio version is tuned to A4=430 Hz for some reason.

[@roadhouseblue8772]

seen them live back in 95 they had just released the bends sung every song of the album to this day still one of the best bands I've seen live

[@ahmadyassine3381]

Try Half Moon Run, they're influenced by Radiohead. Full Circle has a similar vibe to this

[@bustamoveorelse]

thank you man, theyre really good

[@Hippydaze35]

Great performance luv these guys forever. The acoustic version/performance from the mall in Japan breaks me each time I hear it.

[@krangledangle]

Thom’s voice is otherworldly here - what a song and what a performance

[@OurFantasyLife]

The Bends is still one of the best albums ever made, a triumph that would still top the charts if released today. I hope people don't forget about this album. It soars, it whispers, it cries, it takes you along with it and sweeps your emotions away into a vortex. Powerful stuff, even all these years later.

[@quasardude]

Our Fantasy Life Yeah, but you could say the same for their other Masterpieces too

[@bittermelodies6265]

@Our Fantasy Life It seems to get downplayed these days relative to the rest of their output, but I'd wager that's more a result of guitars becoming passé than anything to do with the substance of the album (the band's subsequent self-conscious distancing from rock is also a likely contributor). For my money, The Bends is still easily Yorke's finest hour as a songwriter, and it's unfortunate to see the music culture wars claim it as collateral damage.

[@OurFantasyLife]

Justin Levesque extremely well put.

[@nykola1234]

Agree The Bends. Ok Computer just confirms and nails their supreme talent to the wall.

[@Brodown14]

This is some powerful deep music and one hell of a performance

[@-Bodybuilding-]

Loved this song 1996, and still do. This is pure 90s-nostalgia.

[@hanafiasa701]

This is the best life version of street spirit i've ever heard..it's beautiful ( immerse your soul in love )

[@stephenstrang590]

No question. Im seriously shocked they were this talented in 1995.

[@dotswarlock]

amazing , the guy doesn't run out of air...

[@annesheppard2158]

dotswarlock right... it's crazy how long he can hold a note for.

[@rizzhub5388]

Please watch the accoustic version of them in Japan (at least its what I think it was). Thom holds the "fade out again" part even longer and with even more power at the ende note. The performance is breathtaking... At least for normal people :D

[@hindquarters7496]

Thom was brave to keep singing this song at that time. He let it get to him. You can tell by the way the song tries to swallow him... I feel like this song is alive. He is the host, and It feeds on him. Almost like he is drowning in and being pulled under by the great emotional tide that is this song

[@liselautenbacher]

SO well put, hind quarters! You're absolutely spot on! "Like a flame that seeks explosives As gunpowder needs a war I feast inside you, my host is you" (Björk, Virus, from Biophilia, 2011)

[@guidohaenen1104]

@@Citiesinmotionplayer To be fair the song is in A minor so basically hitting any white key already gives you a good chance of playing something that makes sense (of course it's still difficult to time the downward movement of the guitar while concentrating on what you're playing on the guitar)

[@livier3970]

As a musician this is by far the best song they made to shows thom talent. Singing so well while playing the melody, that is not that simple, insane.

[@missnotofthisworld7469]

Totally Gorgeous Thom Yorke, voice and appearance!

[@Amber_xo_133]

This song is about the passage of time, and the realization that everything is effected by death. If you listen to the rhythm, it sounds like a ticking clock. Also the steady rhythm could represent a heartbeat, and symbolize how much time a person has left. The whole song seems hopeless at first, like death always happens and there is nothing we can do to change it, but it has the best redeeming quality at the end when Thom says “Immerse your soul in love”. Basically he’s saying that life is too short to live in hate, and that we need to make the most of each moment by loving each other.

[@antoniocarvalho2730]

Jonny playing the keyboard with his guitar is outstanding!

Rows of houses, all bearing down on me I can feel their blue hands touching me All these things into position All these things we'll one day swallow whole And fade out again and fade out This machine will, will not communicate These thoughts and the strain I am under Be a world child, form a circle Before we all go under And fade out again and fade out again Cracked eggs, dead birds Scream as they fight for life I can feel death, can see its beady eyes All these things into position All these things we'll one day swallow whole And fade out again and fade out again Immerse your soul in love Immerse your soul in love

"It's core is a complete mystery to me. I wouldn't ever try to write something that hopeless. All of our saddest songs have somewhere in them at least a glimmer of resolve - 'Street Spirit' has no resolve. It is the dark tunnel without the light at the end. "I detach my emotional radar from that song, or I couldn't play it. I'd crack. I'd break down on stage. That's why its lyrics are just a bunch of mini-stories or visual images as opposed to a cohesive explanation of its meaning. I used images set to the music that I thought would convey the emotional entirety of the lyric and music working together. That's what's meant by 'all these things are one to swallow whole'. I meant the emotional entirety, because I didn't have it in me to articulate the emotion. I'd crack. "Our fans are braver than I to let that song penetrate them, or maybe they don't realize what they're listening to. They don't realize that 'Street Spirit' is about staring the f--king devil right in the eyes... and knowing, no matter what the hell you do, he'll get the last laugh. "The devil really will get the last laugh in all cases without exception, and if I let myself think about that to long, I'd crack. "It's why we play it towards the end of our sets. It drains me, and it shakes me, and hurts like hell everytime I play it, looking out at thousands of people cheering and smiling, oblivious to the tragedy of it's meaning, like when you're going to have your dog put down and it's wagging it's tail on the way there. That's what they all look like, and it breaks my heart." "I wish that song hadn't picked us as its catalysts, and so I don't claim it. It asks too much... I didn't write that song

The unmistakable influence of Jeff Buckley on Thom Yorke's performance and recording of this song is readily apparent. Buckley's emotive vocal style and unique approach to expressing raw, intense emotions have left an indelible mark on Yorke's interpretation. From the haunting vocal delivery to the nuanced phrasing, one can sense the echoes of Buckley's artistry, creating a powerful synergy that enhances the emotional depth of the performance. This influence is not merely a mimicry but a transformative homage, enriching the rendition with a profound connection to Buckley's legacy while allowing Yorke to infuse his own distinctive essence into the musical narrative.

As Thom told by himself, he is kinda afraid of 'Fade Out' and from where this song has come to his mind. Fade Out has powerful emotional dark vibes. I really think its kinda like not really Thom York singing at the moment. And it makes u feel bad, nevermind this song is hypnotic and stanning.
