The "In Rainbows: Live from the Basement" session is an absolute legendary performance. The guy on the keyboard (Jonny Greenwood) is actually their lead guitarist (and Academy Award nominated movie music orchestral score composer) and Thom Yorke is the lead singer/songwriter and rhythm guitarist, as he is playing in this one. From the same concert, "Weird Fishes" is a great next react, as is the one you did as a studio track "Where I End and You Begin" though the whole set is incredible. It is a true lesson in how a top flight band interacts and operates to take their studio songs into a live setting, and few can do it like Radiohead. There are 5 members, 3 guitar players, bass and drums, but they all hop around and play all kinds of different instruments, from keyboards and piano, to loopers and samplers, to obscure unusual instruments most of us have never seen or heard of. It's just cool to see it all happening and how a band can come together. It took me over 20 years of playing guitar by myself before I finally got dragged to play with a bass player and drummer, and the experience changed my life. It is the same sensation a surfer gets on a 10 foot perfect wave or a sky diver gets while reveling in freefall - hopefully you are on a path to not just love music - though that itself is awesome regardless and plenty good enough - but if you know how or learn to play an instrument, this band and this concert - truly one of the best influences one could ever have. Another suggestion if you want to have your mind blown - Stevie Ray Vaughan, "Texas Flood: Live from the El Mocambo." Arguably the greatest guitar player of all time playing straight blues from the soul and beyond. Radiohead - of the hundreds of bands from every genre I love - once I heard their first masterpiece "OK Computer" when it came out in 1997, in college (go Hokies!) truly experiencing the joys of life, have topped my list ever since and probably always will.
Oh wow, thank you so much for taking the time for this comment! I do play guitar but I’m not great and I’ve got a motorsports obsession that keeps me from spending enough time on it to be great. I’ve heard Weird Fishes but not the Basement version. I’ve also definitely loved Stevie Ray Vaughan for a few years too and have seen that performance before. SO GOOD. He’s amazing at everything. I’m uploading the Basement performance reaction to Where I End and you Begin this week, BTW Thanks again for watching and commenting!!
@@cadence.presley The whole show is hard to look away from, it's really something special. A great intro to all of their music. As for the wailing cresting sounds in the background, definitely an E Bow on the guitar and the guy playing keyboard is playing an old obscure instrument called the Ondes Martenot which has like a ring on a wire that allows a synth to be played like a slide with vibrato - when they play them together with the guitar on heavy delay, it is such a vibe.
Hey Drew I always see you on these threads preaching the gospel of Radiohead and I am right with you (although you manage to articulate better than I they just make me want to cry).
@@jameshannagan4256 Thanks man, I love seeing them gain traction with new generations. With some of their work taking me literal years before it hits me, it's a tricky band to get people into - to try to convey what and why - and, that isn't even touching the B-Sides, the acoustic sets, the solo and side work, and the unreleased treasures (like they finally put "Follow Me Around" into the updated Kid Amnesiac record but it isn't the only one still hanging out there). Just happy to see new people getting a chance to get hooked as badly as I've been for so so long. Appreciate the shout man!
It’s so nostalgic to watch you become a fan of Radiohead! I would do anything to hear this band for the first time again! Another fantastic reaction brother!
This is from an album called "In Rainbows". They did every song from that album live from the basement. You should check them all out at some point. It's incredible.
Legit Sound Benders. Building up all that power without using force. Each sound made so dense and held back that when they release it the sound hits you with the build up of all that tension. Like a bow and arrow. Thanks for the reaction!!
@@aazo5 Ah, ok, now I get you, I thought you considered them not to have a large fanbase, period, but you meant as large as the Beatles, no, they haven't and never will, obviously. It's funny that some of their songs actually at times make me think that it could have been done by the Beatles if they had continued. like the Live from the Basement version of "The Daily Mail" and there's others. Concluding, you're right, they don't have a fanbase as large as the Beatles had and have.
Hey man.well done hey...I can highly recommend Radiohead's live king of limbs performances at the basement....when I saw it I was rattled for a few weeks...the musicianship is mind blowing
Basically you could definitely have a lot of fun sticking to Radiohead - I have for about 30 years :) There is so much variation - try these three live versions: Blow Out - Paranoid Android - Idioteque
@@cadence.presley For those, these live versions are the best: Paranoid Android - ruclips.net/video/pHcoFelVh7c/видео.html Idioteque - ruclips.net/video/s5AzrL_mEb4/видео.html Blow Out - ruclips.net/video/QkjZcdBLkws/видео.html I dont even know where to start recommending Radiohead songs, they're all so wildly unique and all so equally worth listening to that I genuinely would say the best way to do it would be to do a full album reaction video for each of their albums, in order of course, its the only way to really experience the growth and development they've had over the years, and they really have developed and changed over their career more than any other band has. It's amazing to hear but you need the context and order to really appreciate it. Keep up the good work though, love to see another kid getting into all the music that I got into around the same age 😃👍
Radiohead crams so much stuff into a 4 minute song it really is amazing it is composed in an amazing fasion it is crafted and deliberate always and the emotional landscape is usually very powerful. This song just makes me want to cry and i am not even sure why all the songs from the two basement sessions are fantastic, one of the best musical things I ever heard. If you want to see a more proggy Radiohead try bloom from the basement with jazz drummer Clive Deamer added so they could recreate it live they do stuff with two drummers i have never seen. I would reccommend all the basement stuff but they have records that sound nothing like the two sessions as well.
Stumbling upon Radiohead is a lucky gift.. Coolest band since Zeppelin. Gotta check out "Weird Fished".. "There There".. "Optimistic".. " My Iron Lung".. "Let Down".. "Lotus Flower".. "Paranoid Android".. "Fake plastic Trees"... so much more from R-Head
I'm pretty sad actually that I can't do many or any Tool reactions, because I know every song by heart already. Wish I could start over. I'm a huge fan though.

"This is beautiful". Perfect reaction mate. Someone raised you right.
The unusual combination of reverb drenched percussion with a dry guitar tone works perfectly on this.
It's so rich with sound, the whole thing!
Congrats men! To be listening, apreciating and analizing this type of music at your age, is just mind blowing. You are one of a kind
It’s so nostalgic to watch you become a fan of Radiohead! I would do anything to hear this band for the first time again! Another fantastic reaction brother!
I'm loving every second of it, thank you for watching along! Definitely more Radiohead to come soon!

There's a 100% chance I will be checking them all out. :)

I'm super jealous of anyone first getting into Radiohead. Basically the Beatles of the last 30 years, just without the large fanbase.
Without the large fanbase? Hardly
@@voiceover2191 Compare Beatles album sales to Radiohead’s… that’s all I’m saying

The fact that you know this song is a Gift young man.
In Rainbows. My favourite album 👍🏻
I love everything I’ve heard of it so far 👍
Dave Matthews band live, anything live would be great.

Ay up. Its refreshing to see a young soul take in from others. Stay true, and i wish you the best.
More Radiohead will get you all the views you could ever want kiddo. Plus you get some culture in you :)
I'll post Radiohead until I run out of songs! :P
Stumbling upon Radiohead is a lucky gift.. Coolest band since Zeppelin. Gotta check out "Weird Fished".. "There There".. "Optimistic".. " My Iron Lung".. "Let Down".. "Lotus Flower".. "Paranoid Android".. "Fake plastic Trees"... so much more from R-Head
Great reaction! Reckoner is a marterpiece! I would recommend Paranoid Android from OK Computer, it's their best song imo.
Another suggestion: I Fought Piranas - The White Stripes
Nice reaction
Street Spirit (Fade Out) - Radiohead
Cadence Presley will listen and he will love this song and video
Suggestion: Washed Out - Feel it All Around !
i hope your using a amplifer with your headphones :3
reaction tool - the pot
I'm pretty sad actually that I can't do many or any Tool reactions, because I know every song by heart already. Wish I could start over. I'm a huge fan though.
