[@amar42]

Can totally see this version being on next album.

[@elijahcambry3319]

This is more along the lines of the version that was done for “kid a” and that’s going to be on the 20th anniversary edition of that album

[@kylechase834]

You are a genius

[@ManicxAnimations]

Aged like fine milk.

[@EzequielBenito]

After the premiere of this song as a single, I came right back here, because I really like this version better, I don't know if this makes any sense, but I think it has more "muscle" (and better thom vocals)

[@elemkay5104]

Agreed. Great video - I'm just sad it's probably not gonna get re-recorded and updated to sound like this performance. I keep coming back to this one every now and then.

[@ffsf739]

Absolutely.

[@biponacci]

It seriously sounds like it belongs on AMSP

[@damiloification]

Same... Hopefully they gonna re-record it one day.

[@lennycook206]

I don't like Thoms guitar on this. Great vocal and JGs ebow loop is also ace.

[@GoldenTuskan]

I would NOT be surprised if we saw this again. It’s so similar to the vibe they portrayed with The Smile that I think it would be a shoe-in for their second LP. :)

[@cerdic6305]

Seems pretty unlikely given that it was on Kid Amnesia

[@swainscheps]

Yes! this is my favorite song from the White Album. I think this one was written for Mia Farrow’s sister…

[@jangoxl9502]

OMG, this song has come a long way since 1998's Meeting People Is Easy and it's better than ever.

[@elemkay5104]

Only 20 years in the making!

[@harryv6752]

It's evolved. The same but not the same. Alike but not like each other. Each iteration with its own identity but, yet, it's the same soul; the same song.

[@GoldenTuskan]

Wow. I can’t believe it’s been 5 years since this performance. 🤯

[@edoardomaggiolo9464]

LP10 with this ambient-kraut-indian sounding please.

[@ianpleasant]

Jonny there will never be another Radiohead LP

[@MrValBar2]

Why do you think so?

[@User-xw6kd]

Jonny That would genuinely be epic.

[@johnnyprovencallegaulois6334]

Yes please! A sort of LP tributed to CAN would be awesome!

[@edoardomaggiolo9464]

Yes. I was there at this show, I was very lucky, it was so special. Immediatly after the song finish I've think that it would be a nice direction for their next LP, if there will be one. After the more classic A Moon Shaped Pool, i would like to listen more of their experimental side for at least one time more - kill me but I really really apprecciate TKOL. Not that I complain about AMSP, not really, it's really a good job at song crafting . But I think thay have more sound palette to explore. And as they're are immensly gifted it will be very nice to be "shocked" one time more. But I'm not complaing at all. They're living legends.

[@NYClocationScout]

So great. Thank you. Nothing soothes my soul like Radiohead.

[@KELE02000]

This version is..... Perfect

[@kiruna1953]

Perfect input from India, Thanks to Jonny. The voice of Thom is fullfilling this song, full of inspiration, courage and evolution !

[@zachdraper1653]

Always been my favorite Radiohead song. I hope The Smile gives it is proper place on an album.

[@Alex_Mac_]

It'll be on the Kid A Mnesia b-side disc.

[@zachdraper1653]

@@Alex_Mac_ literally just reading this.

[@reinerbraun2934]

@@Alex_Mac_ And it sounds nothing like this. Should have been a Smile song. It sounds like they used this as the basis for A Hairdryer.

[@relaxedphylax]

They rearranged this old song from the OKC era, only for this one-off performance. How crazy is that. I was sure they'd work it into the Smile but nope. I loved this version.

[@cheffffffffffffffffffff]

I really hope the next radiohead album has sitars and tanpuras on it I can only hope

[@samueo7033]

It remembers me the sound of TKOL so much

this could end up on the smile album

[@k-leb4671]

I hate when musicians make up great arrangements for their songs to be played lived, then never record and release a studio version... It feels like such a waste.

[@psilopro]

Danceable. =-)

[@FrancescoRosati76]

Amazing... Do you have plans to upload other multicam videos of the show like this? Thank you

[@JohnnyAirbag]

+Francesco Rosati Hey thanks! Didn't see your channel until late. I may do another song or two. I'd consider trying to mix out the full show but since they take so much time and RH is putting up proshots on Radiohead.tv its unlikely. Subscribed to you. Hope all is good.

[@FrancescoRosati76]

You did a wonderful job!!! My videos of Macerata were intended just for personal memory, I didn't take the usual cam with me, so they aren't that good. I'm struggling for a good video of Present Tense, just in case you accept suggestions ;)

[@guxxihatpoe1748]

Hey Jonny if you need some hq audio from Macerata you could refer to this www.soundcloud.com/filopaa1990 I'll be glad to share with you the original files. Not flac but very good even if compressed.

[@soundstation8343]

This, this is in Kid Amnesiac, this version

[@sbstn5897]

well...

[@mywhychromosome]

What...what did they?? Is this that lovely song, demoed by an exhausted, road-mad Thom at a soundcheck in 1998, while Jonny and the rest of the band sit around the stage around him, reading books and just generally bored, before suddenly getting inspired about halfway through and come slowly, gracefully, sliding in behind his acoustic and adding rhythm and countermelody? A simple song, that nonetheless needed very little to grab you and shake you, move you into the singer's troubled but yearning headspace?? I don't...I don't think I recognize it. I know I'm sounding like one of those "I don't like anything past OKC" comment cliches here (I actually love the majority of it), but I have to say I think they fell into the Radiohead "avoid any broad or swelling arrangements at all costs" trap here. They overcooked the goose.

[@mywhychromosome]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWGyZJuKbLqHeqc In case anybody, for some reason, doesn't have a reference point (although this is not the full band, it's the best quality 'original' available)

[@mywhychromosome]

I dig what you're saying, and I love some of Pawel's other mixes, my problem with his "FMA" is that what he turned into a "chorus", seems clearly meant to be a "break" (as we are cut into the song in the middle)" and the exact repetition of notes that are essentially intended to be a solo section I think drags it (he plays the parts himself, btw, in case you didn't know)

[@HQBacon]

This version's better.

[@mywhychromosome]

I just think it's a repeating pattern with them, where there are certain songs that come out fully formed and brilliant, but they hesitate and overthink and end up overcooking it (remember that 2002 "Lift"??). There ARE some examples of where a song hadn't quite been figured out yet, or one of the members stumbled upon something that made a later version far more effective. But hey, an opinion's an opinion. I also preferred the original versions of Nude/Big Ideas, Videotape, etc

[@timothylove9724]

Honestly I agree, I feel like the track has gotten away from the simplicity of the original that wasn't lost on the Kid Amnesia version. I do still like this version quite a bit I'd just be ok with it being a one off or it turning into a different song.

[@ripdopadipidydo36]

Who's tony?

[@joshuacasey-ferrari4807]

Tony Blair probably

[@thomasford5813]

He adjusted the lyrics in 2003, the "two luny tunes" are Tony Blair and George Bush jnr, during the Hail to the Thief tour

[@mattcope8982]

Eeeek how to kill a good tune...

[@Tortuosit]

My dog tends to sing at night like Thom does live. As much as I love Thom. But I cannot get used to his live singing. Same for Rammstein.

[@typalmer6850]

You must be listening to somewhat subpar audio recordings. Although this one is nicely visually recorded, this is of course not quite exactly how it would sound. The extensive professionally recorded A Moon Shaped Pool live recordings are proof of how incredible the overall live sound is. Perhaps even getting better, in many cases.

[@typalmer6850]

I actually saw a solo show last October during the Anima tour and it sounded ridiculously good.

[@raoulduke-k9d]

Amazing!
