    Radiohead and just thom Yorke in general dont just make music, they don’t just make great music or wonderful music either. They create a safe place where your soul feels like it’s being lifted by 100s of angels. They touch emotions deeper than sadness or happiness. They bring your mental state to a place where you feel warm almost like a hug, they bring you to a place where you feel like you’ve been given reassurance that eveything will be okay and that eveything is going to be alright. Damn I just love these special people!!!

      (And yes I’m a musician and a lunatic and tracked a straight drum beat and laid the album version on top on another track, and I can hear it then, but otherwise the album version is impossible for me to hear the syncopation on. Maybe because I didn’t realize it was syncopated for almost ten years, and by then I was burned into my neural pathways. I have the same issue with “The Butcher” and “Last I Heard.”

      i kinda disagree tbh, The album starts strong and rhythmic with 15 step and bodysnatchers and progressively gets more sombre and thoughtful with All I Need, Reckoner and ending with Videotape. It’s like they’re taking you through an emotional journey, each track blends very well in their spot. One of the reasons it’s my favorite album. Still, i wouldn’t mind having this version at all lmao

    Omg the piano buildup gets me. It's like I'm gonna be emotional, like my heart's gonna explode. It makes me feel
    a certain wayy I don't feel with any other songs. It's just soo powerful! Radiohead are really musical geniuses! Like they created this and other songs? Oh my gosh. They're literally like the Gods of music. No kidding. Radiohead has touched me spiritually and it's one of the best things that has ever happened to me. They are a blessing to my life. I hope one day I'll be able to go to their concert. Gosh I can't imagine that! I'd really burst out of tears there! It's my ultimate dream! I'm so happy I live inthe same era as Radiohead and that I discovered them and became a huge fan! It's amazing to stan them because they're being stanned for their brilliant music! And not for their lookss. Their looks are just bonus! And they're kind-hearted people. Thom always pause the show when there's something bad happening on the audience. It shows he cares! I love Radiohead so much!! I literally won't be able to love another band as musch as I do to Them!

    On the studio version, which I heard first, I could not hear the syncopation as in this performance. After hearing this, I went back and , I caught a glimpse of it near the end of the song. This performance helped me to hear the studio version differently.

    • @legrostas2033
      @legrostas2033 5 лет назад +35

      It's the same bpm, he just play it syncopated (on the ''and'' went counting tempo music: 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and). It add gooviness to the song. So if you don't want to count music you just have to tap you feet in 4/4 following the drummer, but playing the beat to make it groovy.

    My favorite performance from my favorite artist. Battling from a demon’s grasp as they plea with god through their craft to intervene. That’s why they made something so simple yet virtually impossible to perform live. And they did it. The listeners’ approval is god and if they mess up that’s the demon. Transcends music to a higher form of art.

    When I'm at the pearly gates
    This'll be on my videotape, my videotape
    When Mephistopheles is just beneath
    And he's reaching up to grab me
    This is one for the good days
    And I have it all here
    In red, blue, green
    In red, blue, green
    You are my centre when I spin away
    Out of control on videotape
    On videotape, on videotape, on videotape
    On videotape, on videotape, on videotape

    You shouldn't be afraid

    The most perfect day

    This is my favourite Videotape performance.
    And arguably my favourite version.
    The In Rainbows final studio version is now among my favourite ever songs.
    But at first I was a little disappointed because I wanted to hear THIS..
    The point where Jonny comes in on guitar and raises the whole thing a level with a spine tingling melodic guitar line and then proceeds to do his unique Jonny guitar scrunch.
    When I didn’t hear that on the In Rainbows take I was naturally a little Let Down.
    But I grew to love it anyway for different reasons.
    However, many do see this as THE ULTIMATE Videotape. And with good reason.

    I went down the rabbit hole. I watched several breakdowns and analysis of this song and eventually was lead here as some people claimed this was the best version. Personally I disagree. Pretty strongly. And I still like this version. I just think the more restrained version we hear on the album is more delicate and the build up hits harder because of the contrast. Also I think it suits the lyrics. Little better to have that dynamic. I like how the syncopation is more hidden in that version too. All the version are good, but I don’t agree this is the best. 🙃
