@@greenwoodhoran8868 Suspending the hand on guitar takes away 80% of the skill (I do it and kurt did too). The support puts it above the deck where it should be.
If they didn’t play Airbag when you saw them then that’s rare. Usually it’s a live staple. I think even in 2001 when they would only play Kid A and Amnesiac exclusively they would still bring out Airbag for an encore. They’d play their singles too with the exception of Creep.
I'd say Thom Yorke loses himself in the music, lets it take control of him, and he doesn't care how silly he may look to some people. it's like it's the music that's getting him "high". it's true passion, babycakes :)
probably my favorite Radiohead song of all time no matter what kind of bullshit is going on in life this song... always fades everything else to the back..
He's genuinely enjoying the music and gets lost in it. And this is the way he's displaying his passion. I'm pretty sure what people perceive of him is the last thing in his mind.
I'll never forget the way Thom feels everything he's singing ..he sucks you into the moment. This is a classic and I hope when I'm performing that I can project my mood through the mic to the crowd like he does. Long live Radiohead!
+Brunchusevenmx i agree with that. The emotional set put on this song and specially in this performance is beyond my understanding. Its just Radiohead..
This just may be one of the best songs ever made. It's etched into my soul. Also, a magnificent album. I only wish I could see them live one day, that would be great...
Ed adds a lot of subtleties and complexities to the songs while Jonny usually plays lead. He's a big part of what makes Radiohead unique, what makes Radiohead and Radiohead and not just another gread band. In other words, Radiohead could honestly function without Ed and still be a great band, but they wouldn't be the same. Ed is what makes them deliciously weird.
I was already a huge fan after The Bends but when Ok Computer came out I knew two minutes into this song they’d be my favorite band ever and the best of our time.
I totalled my SUV back in 2000. Hydroplaned into a concrete divider crushed up to my dashboard. I literally stepped out with only a small burn on my forehead from the Airbag. After that I played this song over n over bc "I am born again... an Airbag Saved My Life"
Dude. I knew I loved this band when I was a young buck. My head always knew how to absorb the wonderful sound of Radiohead. Thank you ThomYorke and Co.
If Thom Yorke had a seizure on stage, everyone would think that is was part of the performance. This performance prooves once and for all that 99 percent of the population is to sane to be great musicians.
In the next world war In a jackknifed juggernaut I am born again In the neon sign scrolling up and down I am born again In an interstellar burst I am back to save the universe In a deep, deep sleep of the innocent I am born again In a fast German car I'm amazed that I survived An airbag saved my life In an interstellar burst I am back to save the universe In an interstellar burst I am back to save the universe In an interstellar burst I am back to save the universe
Es el primer concierto que veo en el que Colin se Prende y siente las rolas bien chingón, porque usualmente el esta quieto y tranquilito en su lugar!! RADIOHEAD!!!
They really lock in bigstyley! That was a great era of the `90! They had a bit speed or other chemical as you can tell by there expressions, They must.ve loved performing this concert on that buzz.
Sometimes it's hard to tell what he does in a song, like in Airbag after the second chorus, how he plays a solo simultaneously with Jonny but Jonny overshadows him. Obviously, you can see it in this video but on the album it's harder. But I understand where you're coming from. Sometimes live, he looks like he's just taking up space. You just gotta really listen. Ed's the man.

I found colin's stomping around the stage like a t-rex that had forgotten where it was going much more amusing to be honest, although thom's happy maggot dance is fantastic too. Class act, everybody.
this song really did mark a born again radiohead. it also marked the second coming of christ ~ "i am back to save the universe" all hail radiohead! the saviours of music.
i love how people overanalyse Jonny Greenwood's playing just cos he's Jonny Greenwood. who gives a fuck if its powerchords or not, or if Collin played that note (i mean what the fuck), stop kidding yourself that there's a godlike intricacy to every fucking note he plays.
When I first heard this (when it just came out) it was perfect. The older I get and the older this gets, it seems crazy. Batshit crazy… but still perfect.

"In an interstellar burst, I am back to save the universe."
Monumental opening to a monumental album.
100%
davethehostage 14/-9
Jonah Louque 129845/129844
A devastating way to open up an album.
Earrol Mierez how so?
Johnny Greenwoods guitar probably gets massive anxiety before they play this song
or any of their songs really. jonny boy is fuckin nuts
That's why he had that arm support
Lol! I'm 40 years old and Johnny Greenwood is still my guitar hero! He should be immortal!
@@greenwoodhoran8868 Suspending the hand on guitar takes away 80% of the skill (I do it and kurt did too). The support puts it above the deck where it should be.
I wish they played Airbag live more often. I think it's one of their best.
+Ian Cropley Really? I thought they played it a lot live.
One of the best opening tracks to album for sure
They played it live all the time.
If they didn’t play Airbag when you saw them then that’s rare. Usually it’s a live staple. I think even in 2001 when they would only play Kid A and Amnesiac exclusively they would still bring out Airbag for an encore. They’d play their singles too with the exception of Creep.
The first time that I saw them live they opened with it. I shed a tear. It’s my favorite Radiohead song.
This is one.of the most underrated guitar riffs ever written.
Completely agreed
Agreed
Yes, because you can't hear it. Like bass.
this is one of the most genius bass lines in history
Super simple, but adds so much. Such are Colin Greenwood’s basslines.
Fuck Yeah!!
I don’t know about all that, but it’s pretty good
I'd say Thom Yorke loses himself in the music, lets it take control of him, and he doesn't care how silly he may look to some people. it's like it's the music that's getting him "high". it's true passion, babycakes :)
babycakes
I find it kinda cute actually... Lol
Thom is so weird lol I love it
2:50 when you're at a party and radiohead comes up
Wadsmitter love you too
Wadsmitter
:*
Rock me, Joey Santiago. Something tells me you're a Pixies fan. ;)
Christopher Takashima
That would be correct.
i got kicked out of one for putting on paranoid android
probably my favorite Radiohead song of all time
no matter what kind of bullshit is going on in life
this song...
always fades everything else to the back..
yea.. whenever this song comes up im going crazy
same.. but it's the whole album for me instead
@@deadbunnyeyes190 fitter happier more productive
Which part u like best?
3:09 - Colin: "Yup, that's far enough for me."
Any band that unselfconsciously makes being weird ok are fucking saints.
He's genuinely enjoying the music and gets lost in it. And this is the way he's displaying his passion. I'm pretty sure what people perceive of him is the last thing in his mind.
I'll never forget the way Thom feels everything he's singing ..he sucks you into the moment. This is a classic and I hope when I'm performing that I can project my mood through the mic to the crowd like he does. Long live Radiohead!
+Brunchusevenmx i agree with that. The emotional set put on this song and specially in this performance is beyond my understanding. Its just Radiohead..
Thom is definitely from Mars
southrules of course..he and Messi.
gmilrod And Fred Norris
southrules and Jonny from Venus?
+southrules yeah he's tapped in the head
Jay Bod In the best way
Has anyone else noticed that when Thom is singing live, he's more coherent than on the records?
He really means it.
Not really no
Mark of a great band: a band that sounds better live
Johnny on guitar is sublime
This just may be one of the best songs ever made. It's etched into my soul. Also, a magnificent album. I only wish I could see them live one day, that would be great...
My biggest sin in life is never seeing them live…
I hope you both get to see them live one day
It’s been stuck in my head for 3 weeks
They were in charge and knew it with this album. Complete confidence. By the way, one of the all time best baselines.
Ed adds a lot of subtleties and complexities to the songs while Jonny usually plays lead. He's a big part of what makes Radiohead unique, what makes Radiohead and Radiohead and not just another gread band. In other words, Radiohead could honestly function without Ed and still be a great band, but they wouldn't be the same. Ed is what makes them deliciously weird.
I love that I'm the same age as this video holy shit
Thom said that it was a lot of the guitar tones Ed produced lead the way the songs on okc. He’s completely underrated
@Your Fellow Brother it was a magazine article from memory melody maker
Quite possibly the greatest song EVER!!!!!
My favorite
not even radioheads best song lol
I love this song but I don’t think it’s even one of the top 3 on the album (Ok Computer)
@@jandcstopmotion7774 def on top 1, colin and johnny agrees
Nah, Thom's not on drugs onstage. It's his strange and wonderful way of showing his passion for his music. Have you seen the man dance? Passion.
specially when they Perform Idioteque
I love what you said and also your profile picture.
Favorite Radiohead song. It announces a very special album, best angst art rock album of their generation: OK Computer.
4:15 the feels
I was already a huge fan after The Bends but when Ok Computer came out I knew two minutes into this song they’d be my favorite band ever and the best of our time.
I want this song played at my funeral. Like, on an endless loop.
Alex Aguilar so do I
This is perfect 'to sum it up' song. I always felt like it was a final tribute or credits song to (your, mine etc) life.
Same here❤
I totalled my SUV back in 2000. Hydroplaned into a concrete divider crushed up to my dashboard. I literally stepped out with only a small burn on my forehead from the Airbag. After that I played this song over n over bc "I am born again... an Airbag Saved My Life"
Amazing 👌
Dude. I knew I loved this band when I was a young buck. My head always knew how to absorb the wonderful sound of Radiohead. Thank you ThomYorke and Co.
4:16 rare footage of Thom screaming
Some of the chords are so original and amazing.
Can't believe it was already (and almost) 20 years ago !
Thom Yorke looked a lot like Ian Curtis, back then.
Both were possessed by their own music when they played!
When you are doing what youre meant to do in this world (looking at Yorke and Greenwood)well this is the result...
great comment.....
at 2:13 there is someone or something trying to crawl its way out of Thom Yoke's throat.... i frickin love this guy.... give it a listen..
@@seanoconnor2531 HAHAHAHHA

Love that opening guitar riff.
Colin deserves more recognition
this song literally sends me to another universe, I can't even describe
So real
In the next world war
In a jackknifed juggernaut
I am born again
In the neon sign scrolling up and down
I am born again
In an interstellar burst
I am back to save the universe
In a deep, deep sleep of the innocent
I am born again
In a fast German car
I'm amazed that I survived
An airbag saved my life
In an interstellar burst
I am back to save the universe
In an interstellar burst
I am back to save the universe
In an interstellar burst
I am back to save the universe
Soooo fuckinnnggggg GREAAAAAAAATTTT
Mhm you got it!
They're not from this world. Maybe the next.
That BASS line!!!
OK. Transmission Received.
Thom is such a weirdo and i absolutely adore him ♥
non need drugs on this planet...just listen radiohead
This really brings a smile to my face. The depth of Radioheads talents will always be recognised, but the way this is put together is astounding.
When Thom let's out that painful scream near the end, I feel something pierce through my soul, amazing..
They are back to save the universe with The Smile
aynen
Sensacional ,uma das melhores canções que já ouvi em minha existência!
colin is the man !!!!!!!!!!!!
I heartily agree with you. It makes it even more powerful when Jonny brings back that opening riff.
Es el primer concierto que veo en el que Colin se Prende y siente las rolas bien chingón, porque usualmente el esta quieto y tranquilito en su lugar!!
RADIOHEAD!!!

2:13
How does he do it? Uttering that sound and immediately singing the verse
@@eduardochernajovsky3633 he's a legend
Jonny is such an electrifying guitarist
The fact Yorke can play that riff and belt the lyrics at the same time just blows my mind, he is a generational talent

It's the drums I keep coming back for. So tight!
I found colin's stomping around the stage like a t-rex that had forgotten where it was going much more amusing to be honest, although thom's happy maggot dance is fantastic too. Class act, everybody.
Those things contribute to the iconic ness of this performance - RH being RH
i passed out during this song!! i was on some psychedelics and it was absolutely euphoric
I'd never forget the first time I listened to Ok Computer and the bass on Airbag just put me into another world.
Best Radiohead song IMO
Colin is really feeling the music!
i love how colin seems to be completely fascinated by phil's drumming the whole damn song.
Mad scientists with instruments.
this is a miraculous performance
this solo...
When Im done, blast me into heaven with this. Please.
Thom 2:50 groovin'
this song really did mark a born again radiohead. it also marked the second coming of christ ~ "i am back to save the universe"
all hail radiohead! the saviours of music.
todo el power con Airbag- Radiohead, una de mis favoritas, saludos desde Chile
one of the only times ive seen thom having a good time during the OKC tour
I am born again nananana
Oh god how i love this song
So fucking amazing!
muse nation xD
Wadsmitter my favorite bands and tatto's :v
- 2:16 - 2:32 he really felt that line
same.
got it the day it came out.
now i wanna listen to it again. thanks! :)
the best band of the world...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2:40 the Greenwood boys
Brilliant, simply brilliant!!!
i love how people overanalyse Jonny Greenwood's playing just cos he's Jonny Greenwood. who gives a fuck if its powerchords or not, or if Collin played that note (i mean what the fuck), stop kidding yourself that there's a godlike intricacy to every fucking note he plays.
Great version, thanks for the upload.
the bass parts make this song
ill never get enough of .. . . . . . .
In the 2018 live performance of this in Chile they’re all using the same guitars still (at least the same models) which is incredibly cool to me
My dude Jonny 👌
i love this version
格好よすぎる
I fucking love Radiohead and I absolutely adore this track, but I cannot help but laugh my ass off at 3:58
A young blood yorke..
Bang Buset we suck young yorkes
@@nekozombie lmao
2:13 Brazzers
ahead of its time
Es increible lo que Radiohead me hace sentir... Simplemente son lo maximo!"!
Thank you, Ciao From Italy
When I first heard this (when it just came out) it was perfect. The older I get and the older this gets, it seems crazy. Batshit crazy… but still perfect.
2:13 HAHAHAHHAHAHA WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT
Necesito una bolsa de aire, para poder seguir escuchando este temazo de Radiohead.
Usually a digital reverb sucks. What it comes down to is room size. Which means the reverb pedal should be the most expensive in the set.
This is great, I love it.
Hey ! I was there !!! :)
OK Computer and Kid A were earthquakes. It will never be the same again.
