- Radiohead were having problems during Idioteque and Thom walked off the stage. The rest followed him; Colin tried to cheer up his little brother.
Filmed on June 1st, 2012, during a show at Prudential Center in Newark, NJ.
Lol imagine trying to operate a machine with 1000000 buttons to make an extremely specific beat with Thom Yorke getting angry behind you.
And on stage in front thousands
Oh my
dont you understand how to use a drum machine?
@@M364Ait's not just a drum machine as well, it's a drum sequncer on a modular synth which makes it harder
@@monarchyde4984 oh ok
I was at this show. Important to note that Thom came back on, apologized profusely and promised to play a bunch of extra songs.... and they did. He was a gentleman about it.
Colin Mahoney So he did apologize to Jonny?
I dont think so xD
Not sure if I'm getting a reply to my question but why the fuck was Thom so obtuse?
EgyGeek He's always like that rofl
@@TheEgyGeek He really likes this song so it made him upset when Johnny botched the synth.
1:22 Jonny don´t !! that one controls the video output
JSHEJDJFIFHFJDJFJV ok you got me there
LMFAOOOOO
The timing on that one was awesome indeed
Underrated
This is the best RUclips comment I have ever seen it made me actually laugh out loud for a few minutes. Thank you man
It would be so funny if Ed just stayed on stage and played creep by himself

hahahahhaha
HHAHAHAHAHAHHA OMG THIS COMMENT, I CANT
As someone who doesn't know Radiohead I literally thought that guy was a random electrician trying to fix something
Hahahahahahahaha
He kinda Is tho now that you say it that way (?
😂😂😂😂😂
that is hilarious
Same...I thought he might be support trying to fix stuff
I mean ... It's a simple 23/37 time beat
Yeah, but swung just a little bit.

I'm the 1000th like
1:25 Wow, I hope that didn't actually happen on the stage.

What Virtual Blaze was referencing was the weird visual glitch that happened at 1:25. Y'know, the lower half of the screen just stretching.
hahahahaahaha i was expecting that thom maybe hits the tecnitian or something like that and then the imagen froze LOL
wow yeah Joe totally went over your head man
Joe can fly
I like Joe
Virtual Blaze I would give up too if I was frozen in what seems to be a frame transition
trojanpony did joe pay rent on your head?
Is that Computer OK
Zak Almond Riley underrated
You deserve more likes
lol
And that's a like from me.
Ok, Computer?
1:23 damn jonny messed up so badly he broke the laws of time and space for a good 10 seconds
Wow
I really laughed at a RUclips comment
wow
a guy replied to a youtube comment saying he laughed at it
It’s not his fault, it’s the Machines. Those drum machines are insanely difficult to navigate and program.
@@micaelaizarracadenas352MEEE TOOOOOO
90% of the Idioteque performances I've seen include Thom getting mad at Jonny.
Why the fuck i see you in every radiohead related video

2:12 "It's alright little brother"
So cute...
:"FUCK OFF Colin!"
-stands up and goes beat him up
@@BlugharmIf the Greenwood brothers acted like the Gallagher brothers from Oasis
@@JavierRamirez-hc2xy nope, the Gallaghers are more likely to swing guitars at each other before hurling verbal abuse.
Poor Jonny, at the end when Thom and Colin walk off you can see how upset he is with himself; he wrote this awesome beat on an impossible machine (to your average joe), and of course sometimes it won't work. It's really nice to see that Colin's still upholding his promise to his mother to take care of little brother, even just that little affectionate messing with Jonny's hair would've at least made him realise that it was ok, don't worry about it little bro, there's always next time.
damn this is wholesome
when happen all that?
@@patrickbateman7320 around 2:10
Bro it ain’t that deep
I’m not an average Joe and it’s actually nearly impossible to consistently replicate
love how Jonny looks so distraught like a little child and Colin gives him a headpat to reassure him like true elder sibling shit 2:11
This is the cutest shit
I didn’t notice that at first
What on earth is Johnny even doing during these performances. He looks like he's fixing someone's fuse box.
Mudi Meek why are radiohead fans so goddamn defensive all the time?
Its called a modular synth since nobody else here wants to be helpful, and yea, its fucking weird.
why that happened? everything was normal to me
it's a modular synth. Jonny plays practically every instrument...I couldn't even imagine doing what he does onstage. must be stressful to say the least...
that is thom's brain, he is a puppet.
Seeing this out of context is plain hilarious -
To your left you have obnoxiously bright, flickering lights
To your right you have like 2000 people cheering you on
To your front you have this clutter of cables that need to be timed and the margin of error closes in on you every few seconds due to the unusual rhythm
And to your rear you have Thom... just flailing his limbs around and singing seemingly incoherent lyrics
It’s a recipe for trauma
best sounding trauma ive ever heard
@@cheekybananaboy3361 same. Back in the OKC/Kid A era thom was WAY worse. I remember they were playing an early version of nude that the crowd was ecstatic for, and granted, Ed ROYALLY fucked up. But I swear to god - when thom turned to Ed and into the mic said “the song is FUCKIN over. You were playing the WEONG FUCKIN CHORDS” the entirety of the crowd gasped in horror.
Thom has softened a lot since those days. After watching meeting people is easy, I’m just glad he made it out of that time alive, and seems much happier now🤷🏻♂️.
@@cheekybananaboy3361 but I’d still had suffered that abuse in a heartbeat to play on stage with those guys.
Saw them at 15 in a 300 person all ages club on the bends tour. Been a rabid fan ever since.
'And to your rear you have Thom...'
😏
@@RustinChole Holy shit hahahaha I feel so bad for Ed
"is this really happening, happening.."
HAHAHa he should have sung that before the beat went off
I’m not here, this isn’t happening...

For a minute there, he Lost himself
Not quite my tempo
At least Thom didn't throw a chair or slap Jonny in the face
Rushing or Dragging???
Skywalker Shadai: Yes.
Fuck you fletcher
Amaizing. That's why I came to the comments.
1:54: Phil loses the tempo. All is lost.
Lol
For a minute There, he Lost himself
In you I'm lost
Tenci Oviedo you ok, mate?
@Andrew Peterson how can u tell? they both bald drummers
I was privileged to be in the crowd this night and im glad that this video exists because i think back on this moment a lot and consider it to be one of the most memorable moments in my life as a Radiohead fan. To see my favourite band mess up an iconice song was surprisingly amazing. Testament to their perfectionism (and their humanity). And Thom's candor; if i recall correctly, he came back out and joked "some people say we have too many machines. Before tonight, i would have disagreed". Amazing moment.
That head pat is fucking adorable.
"It's alright lil Johnny... you can stop now."
Pat Luddy hahhaahah it's alright Jonny, you FUCKED it up! LOL
Pat Luddy lil jon*
and how Jonny turns his head when thm walks off
It was also probably passive agressive unfortunately. And then Thom walked out in a big huff, looking really angry, and everyone else followed like "Great. Now we have to go talk about this."
0:21 that innocent face asking "Should I speed up, Thom?" 😂
FASTER JONNY
colin ruffling up jonnys hair aaaaaaaaaaaaaa I love the greenwoods SO much
It's so cute, but I feel so bad for Jonny. Thom gets pissed and Jonny doing his best...♡
strange comment
Mason Huculak Sum Radiohead fans really don't have emotions or what ahaha jk. But c'mon man that was hella cute
Meanwhile the Gallagher's
I love how Jonny continues to enjoy the music despite everything. True passion.
Why is that electrician wiring something up mid-set?
lol
+MrMinusguy it's obviously a joke
MrMinusguy
no your not
you guys are awesome, best comment section on youtube ever xD
Hahahaha
2:06 Lmao jonny was like "wait, why are you all leaving?"
Some people says that it sounded fine or that it would not have made a difference, but it is, because the other musicians are following the Jonny's beat, and if it was off-beat the other guys lost the tempo of the song is but that doesn't mean that Thom should acted in this way... Still love Jonny, he is a fucking hero.
You're one of the small group of users who understand why it got fucked up
It sounded shit Thom was right to do that
@@DidarStuff yeah it really fell apart at the end, if people can't hear what's wrong then they just haven't listened to the song enough
@@DidarStuff As a musician I can tell how off it was. It didn't sound intentionally off like some kind of weird polyrhythm. You can hear how the rest of the band tried to cope with the situation but it sounds uncontrollable. Actually I'm more impressed that the band reacted so good that they made it sound ALMOST kinda intentional-ish.
@@haralabospap7091it inspired the whole of King of Limbs rhythms!
Basically how Idioteque would sound on King Of Limbs
OMG, yes!
So true.
Looks like this video gave up 1:24-1:42 itself LOL
i think that's why thom got ultrs pissed
1:55 is kinda funny how phil is trying to syncronize with johnny
that's Clive Deamer, not Phil
keb botnet actually Billy Corgan
No no you're all wrong. That's Billy Howerdel.
yall wrong, that’s me
Keb is correct. Clive D from Portishead
Poor Jonny
Demi Krueger yeah..
Thom gets FUCKIN PISSED when he's mad
Luckily, Colin helped Jonny out.
Still, I love Thom, Jonny, Colin, Phil, and Ed.. ❤❤

Even when they're not doing their best, it still sounded great.
the best they can is good enough then, I guess
+Megallicafan18 That's funny because it's the lyrics to their song Optimistic
+English Rose
the fact that I meant it is even funnier though
English Rose Well duh mate
I find this hilarious. They've all been mates for what? 30 years? Longer? I'm sure they are well aware of his ability to get aggravated.
2:10 Cute interaction between brothers.
That's always nice and delighting to get mr. Pat's confirmation on your head getting headpatted.
That Song Has To Be The Most Difficult Song In Their Setlist To Perform. Poor Jonn Jonn. I Believe Jonny's An Absolute Genius!
Why did you put all capitol letters in your sentence?
+Azoth Hunter OCD
That has nothing to do with OCD, lol.
Idk if he actually has OCD or not but it could possibly be because of OCD he has to capitalize every letter of his sentence in order to be content with it.
wHY dO yOU tYPE lIKE tHAT?
Oh... poor jonny :(
i just wanna hug johnny
It's insanely hard to do that stuff than playing guitar or piano or bass or drums. Radiohead probably broke the stereotype that electronic has to be playback.
I'm not rich enough to play modular sinths, but analog and semi-modular are not "insanely hard".
early electronic music tho kraftwerk tho
It's pretty difficult when you have multiple patterns and you also have a real drummer playing along to the click that you're gradually falling out of sync with...
Jesus, are you serious? since when Radiohead broke any electronic stereotype? Kraftwerk and every electronic group in the 70's were doing waaay more than this in their shows
There's no denying that, when Radiohead went more electronic, it made a big impact. Kid A made a massive impact on a lot of musicians and their use of electronics, whilst not groundbreaking, made a huge difference to that. Sure, Kraftwerk may have been innovative, but I don't personally enjoy anything they've written.
The correct title should be "Jonny having problems after Idioteque"
Hahaha... that's right but we don't know what will happen in the back of the stage
😂😂😂😂

No One talks about How Ed try to save the song at 0:35 after Thom leaving for a while.
They're only human and let's be honest this is probably the thousandth time they've played this live. You're bound to get it wrong 1 out of 100 and it's a very difficult song for Jonny even if he is a musical genius. I'm not happy to see Thom give up, really though when the song is butchered there isn't anything left to do but to stop and regroup. And that's what they did, they regrouped and came back out for another set. And another thing, this band have been mates for 30 years, look at every other band from the late 80's and early 90's who are still making music today. How many can you say still have all their original band members from the very beginning? Yes they get on each others nerves but they're still together where as many many other bands who are still active today gave up and quit.
Some members have left bands because of drugs like Layne Staley of Alice in Chains or Jimmy Chamberlin of Smashing Pumpkins or John Frusciante of the Chili Peppers. While others left because the band mates just couldn't stand each other anymore like having to deal with lunatic divas like Axl Rose or Courtney Love. Meanwhile Radiohead have all stuck together through thick and thin.
Frusciante didn't left rhcp because of drugs wtf
He did the first time
+Joao Vitor Oh yes he did.
the first time he did, but this guy make it sound like ifhe had left the second time
FASTR JONNE
New meme
this crack me up and broke me in good way xD
HAHAHAHA
YOU.HAVE SAME LITERALLY PHOTO
@@joaovictorcontapessoal what the hell
that tap on the head colin gave jonny was the cutest thing ive ever seen.
For a minute there he lost himself
Artists are sensitive about their shit... Always remember that
Using proper FM synthesis during a live setting and having to make it sync up with different parts of a piece is nearing levels of rocket science. And that olde synthesis is fleeting as all heck at times, it just lives it's own life.
i think the issue is more that mistakes compound, so every little error makes it harder and harder to keep up. you can't just pause for a moment and reset like with a guitar.
i like the way ed supports the group with helping thom singing
0:25-0:30 I love hearing the crowd singing along
Then Ed’s like “Whilst we wait for Thom let me show you a song I wrote”.
I personally love these moments where something isnt 100% perfect and they show that they are still in fact humans. Everyone knows they are geniuses and a short blip is just fun to see. Id rather see this than have them blast backing tracks like all the other bands these days.
I like how the crowd doesn't even care lol they just keep cheering
Yes definitely whether they mess it up or not still wonderful to see Radiohead
shout out to the crowd for singing when thom stopped
@2:12 "It's ok bro."
I love Colin.
after this, (project atoms for peace )
HAHAHAHA
KAKAKKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAK
KAKAKAKAKAKAKAKKKKKA
Haha
hahahah is it just me or the way Colin gives Jonny a clap and rubs his head like 'well fucking done Jonny. Really great fucking job ruining that song.'
That's what brothers do.
But was all of it Jonny's fault? Tell me, I don't get it
Jonny's playing the electronic beat with his analog modular synth. So, that synth managed to totally crap out and shuffle in time, messing up the whole performance and timing. Not necessarily Jonny's fault, more like his equipment's.
But how he would mess timing, drums enters after the synth, and I mean, The sequencer would not fuck up like a Human.
It's an analog synth so the timing can still be messed up. Differences in temperature, humidity etc. can cause jerky/shuffling timining and glitches for analog synths.
thats why radiohead is still intact together. every band has shredded in debris but radiohead
since it has thom(impulsive) , johnny(quite). & chemistry doesnt survive when 2 people are the exact same.
Is Jonny quite?
@@anthonyfuqua6988 he's quite good
@@alankin2316 Of course he's good but he is not as shy as people make him out. If you want him to talk just bring up musical instruments.
well it worked for the Doors....not...(maybe TOO opposite haha i think Jim was so impulsive he didn't turn up most the time, and Ray could basically play bass and lead keys and fill-in sing his parts though because he was a robot.)
Jonny is quiet?
Jonny is quite good (american as in very good)?
Jonny is quite good (british as in a little bit good as in probably shit but being passive agressively euphamistic)?
1:24
oh they actually frozen on stage like that? thats a big problem 🤔
People need to not get mad at them... Thom or Jonny... they both fucked up... Jonny fucked up by not handling the synth correctly and Thom fucked up by leaving but it happens... and it's easy to call it unprofessional when you're sitting at your computer but when you're actually going on tours and playing long shows it probably gets so stressful and having a performance get fucked is enough to make you that angry.
I think the reason Thom gets upset is because he is a professional and he wants the music to sound proper for the fans. I get that.
Kristin Pawlewicz That was the opposite of professional. I think the word you're looking for is "perfectionist".
+B!ack. If Tom is perfectionist he must work on his vox and intoning. He makes it very ugly.
Aleksey Solonenko You do have a point... selective perfectionist?
+Kristin Zeiber also, i imagine this is the part where he reaches his "spiritual crescendo" on the concerts and thats why it made him very angry that the song did not work. the tap on the had by colin at 2:11 tho :D
Attila Murvai Yes, the brothers are always so supportive of each other, aren't they? That was cute.
that head pat tho at 2:11
Colin patting Jonny on the head is so sweet. Truly shows how he is used to Thom often losing his temper. Jonny messing up on Idioteque was expected, since it is an incredibly hard song to play live. You can see that he looks disappointed in himself after Thom comes back. Which he really shouldn’t have been. Operating that machine that has what, like 10000 buttons? Like it is obviously very very VERY difficult to use. Poor JonJon🙏.
It looked like he shoved his head like “you idiot.” 😅
There's a lot of support between the members; ed singing, phil trying follow Jonny's and Colin at 2:10:')
tbh the beat that jonny wrote on that machine actually hits so much harder than the album version, it's a shame that it didn't work for this performance
It's like watching a slow motion train wreck unfold before your eyes. The desperation in his eyes as he tries to nudge and tweak that wretched synth to do his bidding. And it is all so futile.
Been there before, my poor friend. Oh the horror, the horror.
I can't play modular synth and I don't know, but I think that playing that instrument, with all those wires is a very difficult thing. Jonny is a genius
Its not actually at all difficult, the thing was simply messed up. Synthetizers go out of tune all the time. Its not something you'd like happening but this one definetly needed some tweaking before a performance. Actually playing the thing isnt really too hard.
Johnny: "Okay Colin i come now" 2:16
Watch Phil just before Thom says "Fuck it". He's trying hard to adapt too.
DoYouDigItNow That's not Phil :P That's Clive. Phil's on (our) left.
Check wikipedia, Clive has been their second drummer for a while.
B!ack. What's the problem?
Poor Jonny :(
0:25
I like how the crowd keeps on singing
when jonny stopped time lmao
daddy chill
beautiful supportive big brother moment there from Colin ❤️
I feel so bad for Jonny.. He's adorable :/
I don't know about ya'll but I would love to see Radiohead live and them mess up a song. I know they are the badasses they are when they play. I saw them live and they were spectacular!
i thought they were boring live
FacultyBob I would give me left bolloc to see em live
Jonny is so funny when Colin gives him a head pat
you used to be alright ... what happened ?
Etcetera etcetera
(Collin's bass line)
bip bop
Facts for whatever...
*childrens cheer*
Omg I wanna hug Jonny :'(
Thom didn't laugh until his head comes off
why Thom so piss about it? couples of time Thom also mess up the song in concert by singing lazily and out of tone. Jonny is a genius, and he rarely, again rarely make a mistake in live, Thom was way more clumsy. I'm talking here as a hard core radiohead fans but this vid really piss me off.
"I'm talking here as a hard core radiohead fans but this vid really piss me off."
Trust radiohead on this one if your a big fan :D
But if the rythms get out of sync the whole thing kind of falls apart, if the singer sings a bit off key it's not as big of a deal, the rest of the band's flow doesn't get affected the same way.
Haroon Rancak I'm not sure any of them really knew what to do if that machine starts messing up, nobody's mentioned this happening at any other gigs. Modular synths are complex shit to use live and if something fucks up, it's incredibly difficult to get yourself back on track. When you're all on stage together, the pressure can get to you.
+Haroon Rancak The Modular Synth requires the correct (and a constant) voltage in order to work correctly. When you're in a studio it's easier to control the voltage going to the equipment, but when they are on tour they (sometimes) get irregular voltage differences. This causes the Modular Synth to go out of tune, hence why it sounded shite and why Thom was pissed off. Jonny was trying his best to get the equipment working correctly but he was fighting a losing battle (also the reason why Colin gave him a little tap on the head, as a "good try" gesture.)
+Tyler Durden I also noticed for that tour Jonny didn't use his original space echo live, instead the boss re-issue, less troublesome on the road I suppose... I wonder if they'll get Clive in again for the next live tour and just sample Jonny's modular onto his drum pad.... Or the drum pad as a midi controller and try to match the sounds to a non-patchable analog synth like the dsi tempest.... It also looked like there were problems with the monitors... Still, not the mess it could have been given the circumstances; matching a modular to two drummers and not to mention all the other sounds/textures that radiohead utilise
Video Having Problems During Playback.
No!😂
Just goes to show that after so many years Thom still cares about getting the songs done right. This is a good sign for any Radiohead fan. And even now, years later they are still making music and passionate about what they do. That's what you want to see.
if he cared so much then he should keep still when he sings
I just hope they don't end the band just because of this. They're too awesome.
9 years later, they didn't.
@@dimitristsekeris1821good ending
10 years later... Hmm, The Smile
11 now, and still no
1:56 Phill loses rhythm. All hope is lost.
That's what happens when you rely on a TI-83 for the music.
The same thing happened in Peru in 2018, poor Jonny, you can tell that "idioteque" is a difficult song to play live
faster jonny! faster jonny! faster jonny! not that fast jonny!!
the mistake was not radioheads or jonnys. it was whoever is responsible for their sound at coachella. some people are getting confused. they have played this song a million times without any problem. usually this kind of problems happens at festivals.
Jonny I love you.
I can almost guarantee that there would have been zero negative tension backstage after this happened. Thom basically worships Jonny's technical and musical capabilities. Jonny is continuously taking risks and pushing boundaries, and if there is one single factor that makes Radiohead exceptional, that would be it. Besides, Thom doesn't seem the least bit emotional or frustrated. It was a case of them experiencing a rare glitch, which will almost certainly be identified and corrected before the next show. Accept defeat, shrug shoulders, have a cigarette break, finish the set with something more straightforward. No big deal.
it happens, be cool, there's no loss of life
+MrDjisse yeah, chill everyone, it's not like this hasn't happened to every band there ever was...touring's hard, lots of pressure, tempers flare, screwing up in front of thousands can be rough...everyone just needed to take a mo' and calm it on down.
sometimes i appreciate how the audience and even some of the band members help thom out while he's forgetting the lyrics
now that's true teamwork and companionship, and it's no wonder they all stuck around for this long
He didn't forget the lyrics
He did not forget the lyrics💀💀
0:15 At this point he is refering to Johny.
it literally sounds so good lol
omg no Thom! I'm crying! Poor Jonny 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Jonny you're still my hero
this is awesome. i don’t think i would focus on how insane their beats are if it wasn’t for videos like this
Y'know, I'm glad these videos of him always getting upset that this song has a 50% success rate of being performed live exist. They could have taken the easy way with recordings decades ago but they still keep it genuine, despite that decent chance for failure. That's some great dedication to quality, to me.
