Radiohead - The thief (can cover - best sound quality ever)

[@mr.alexgy4523]

This song gives me chills, it's energy is so dark

[@sashwap]

a clear influence on their song “go slowly” 🤘⚡️

[@tomasdefalco1417]

Thanks! it's nice to hear it in better quality, this Can song fits like a glove to Radiohead. In 2003 was realesed hail to the thief it was around the time they where playing this cover, the influence of the characteristic hiptonic sound of Can in Radiohead it's clear.

[@zaxapitsa]

I wish they had tried the 3 guitar psychodelic wall of sound more often

[@elvy.jean1980]

agree

[@dreamtree1510]

They perfected it on In Rainbows with Bodysnatchers and Weird Fishes I think. Both those songs have a different style than this but the way the guitars mesh together on those tracks is incredible.

It was 1971,me and my best mate were listening to this and we said this is the future,turns out we were right.

[@patrickneylan]

…even though it wasn't released till the 80s.

@@patrickneylanrecorded in ‘69. Possible, but probably a typo or lie.

[@gabrcl]

this is gold! I think it is the best cover that radiohead has done and it is very difficult to find in good sound quality, thanks!

[@bjrnbrynemo9059]

"Nobody Does it Better" is also a good one.

[@AnthonyTorres32892]

I love this cover! It's one of my favorite songs!

[@GwenhwyfarB]

Everytime they cover a song, it’s 🔥. This, Nobody Does It Better, Ceremony.

Ed's whammy stuff near the end is nasty.

Saint-Denis, sous le chapiteau sur l’esplanade à côté du Stade de France, le 1er soir, le 19 septembre 2000, soit quelques jours avant la sortie de Kid A. J’ai le bootleg de ce magnifique concert auquel j’étais. Le son sur mon double cd n’est pas aussi bon que cette version.

[@tvisse]

J'avais aussi ce bootleg sur minidisc à l'époque mais je l'ai perdu depuis. Je reverais de pouvoir remettre les oreilles sur ce concert mythique et la version sublime de The thief. Si jamais vous pouviez me l'envoyer :)

[@patrickcrawford767]

Sick!

[@morris7025]

[@actuallythepie]

[@actuallythepie]

@@MauricioJara oh i remember them bringing this back after 9/11. thanks for the info!

[@dimas3189]

​@@MauricioJaraBefore or after the "thing"?

[@cataherrr]

Thank you so much i have been searching for this for years ❤ can someone share the track?

[@Guadeloop]

the drum pattern during the breakdowns... could it be that they were inspired by this when they made Talk Show Host?

[@makkietakkie]

I think the drum pattern in Talk Show Host is mostly Halleluwah.

[@worldsea6622]

the whole song is literally go slowly if you break it down

[@ScotTrumeter]

Can someone please put this up on Spotify?

[@Kirilliusmacev]

Do you have a download link?

[@adrianvasile8576]

Hi! Is there any DVD of this concert? I know it was in the setlist of the some gigs in 2000 and 2001. Thanks. Adrian

[@elvy.jean1980]

DVD I don't know but I recently find the whole concert from where this comes from. I don't know anymore if it's in the many gigs the official channel put online or else. But the full gig (audio) exist somewhere on YT.

[@adrianvasile8576]

@@elvy.jean1980 Ah! But you can't look up that content anymore, can you? It would be amazing to listen to the whole concert given how accurate the sound is. Let us know if you manage to finally look it up. Adrian PS: Thanks for posting this rare The Thief cover. It's an amazing piece of music by a bad of geniuses which is grateful to another band of geniuses.

How to ruin one of the best CAN's song.
