    What Jonny Greenwood is using is actually a Roberts R737 radio, quite literally just a simple portable FM radio. Had to comment when you said "It looks like an old CB-radio, I know it's not" 😛 you were so close.
    None of the sounds coming out of it is recorded either. It is all live radio, typically from local talk radio, that he puts effects on through the mic. That means no live performance of The National Anthem is ever the same.

      I would add every other version I heard was better.this was less hypnotic and much more chaotic. They've gotten board with it. Try studio ir snl version.

      It's cool to hear local ads come through when you see them live. I'm in Wisconsin, so the national anthem included ads for Johnsonville brats and Potawatomi casino, lol. It was perfect!

    Dave, that's Ed O'Brian on the guitar with the tremelo. He's duplicating a lead trumpet solo from the studio version. There's a big brass section that's missing here, honestly my favorite part of the song.
    The bassline was written by Thom when he was 14 years old btw.

      Yeah, I feel like this version is too fast. The pocket feels like it is rushed a little to me. It kind of loses it's hypnotic groove. I prefer the version they did on SNL myself.

    It is in fact a radio, that he tunes to a talk radio station in each city they play in, adjusting the volume swells on it, but warbling and warping it through his computer filtration system. That is not however a keyboard, it's an Ohndes Martenote an ancient instrument that is essentially a more complex theremin.

    An anecdote: In June 1993 I went to the legendary Rockstore in Montpellier, France. I arrived at 9PM, I believe. I thought there was a party ging on. Not a soul in sight, only the doorman. As a regular customer I was allowed in for free. Apparently there was a band playing: Radiohead was the name.They were performing their second song. The first thing that went through my mind was: 'Wow, this band is another level. They will be the future.' I got into the mosh pit pretty quickly. :) Some time after the concert, Colin Greenwood came out of The Rockstore. He asked where he could find a phone to call his mom. We walked to find one. It became a great evening. Later, these sort of rare moments become fond memories. Cheers, t. (Belgium)

    As others noted: Jonny’s radio sampling alone makes each performance of this song unique. This iteration has some of my favorite elements from Ed and Jonny, who really nail their parts and build up to a very clean climax. And Ed’s siren effect via the tremolo is a lot of fun as well.
    Thom vamping on a disco tune (“I Feel Love”) is a fun little left turn. His scatting (which mimics a horn part in the studio version) does get a little lost in the mix.
    Overall, other versions of this maybe nail the chaos of the song a little better, but this is IMO the most fun to take in.

    Great reaction, everything was covered. Everyone else has covered what Jonny was up to, so I won’t tell you again.
    I saw them on this tour and the stage design was my favourite of all the times I’ve seen them.
    Great choice of video from the requester. As much as I miss the horns, it definitely needed to be a live show, rather than the album version or a TV studio for this track.

    My favorite song from Kid A album! I liked the studio album because of horns sound, and also like the live version because of the radio performance. They actually use a real radio, so every live performance of this song has its original element, since a radio broadcasts different things everytime!

    Guy from Radiohead literally plays radio on stage.
    Jonny uses the device to pick up local airwaves, and manipulates the sound through his pedals and effects processors. If you watch this song live in foreign countries, that country’s language can be heard throughout.
    It’s an effect that weaves throughout the studio version, which contains a horn section that this show unfortunately does not.
    Watching all the things Jonny does on stage live is worth the price of admission.

    Seeing the facial expression on the thumbnail had me intrigued: looks like it went okay. And yet upon recalling the song nothing jumped at me that would boost it or make it stand out. Which isn’t to say it’s a bad tune. I remembered it as a unique, near-instrumental track. A bit quirky and off-kilter, but it’s Radiohead. I always think of an assessment of them in some music mag awhile ago: they were among the top British rock bands, but “had none of the usual laddish swagger.” Radiohead ≠ swagger. But nice outline of features of the lead vocal parts; appreciated the use of terms that directly correlate to singing.

    As a bass player I'd like to ask you something David. Is it difficult for you to play a bass pattern like this when its basically the exact same bass line for the entire song, does it make your hand cramp up?

    • @THEDavidHeretic
      @THEDavidHeretic  11 месяцев назад +6

      It can, especially the left hand. However the more you play, the more tensile strength your hands and fingers gain, the less cramping you have to deal with. STAMINAAAAAAA

    Fair reaction. Not so sure about one conclusion: 'No stage interaction.' This so called Multi-Cam Setup is strange if you look back. Each camera is mostly focused on one band member. Obviously one comes to this conclusion. The rare distance footage gave me another impression. My perception can be wrong of course. But filming almost from a backstage point of view, huh? Perhaps calculated: with Radiohead you never know, ha! - I agree with most of the comments. T

    Really hasn’t been a good week for my ears now we get a dude that doesn’t sing good and I thought Nirvana song was bad ? Some one needs to fix their radio as that was just a constant ear ache 1 ⭐️ or 2 out of 10 or a 7 out of a hundred. Geesh I fond it really hard to rate that song. I for sure wont be listening to that again . But I gotta tell ya I loved the creativity and how they used their instruments it was like a display of art I’d love go and see them perform and straight after go an see a band that can play music. I hated it but I love that I hated it it was a awesome video and a great live performance it just sounded bad to me 🤟
