And no, you're not seeing double. The doppelganger drummers are myself and Clive Deamer. Clive has long been one of my favourite drummers and so I was really excited when he agreed to perform with us. Hope you like what we've all done.

Amazing how they went from Creep to this.
Probably the best evolution of any band ever.
Probably the best evolution of any band ever. Hell yesss!
if you listen to pablo honey , looks like another band...cheers
Sharkbait Master SERIOUSLY. I thought nineties Radiohead was meh and then HOLY SHIT. Most bands go south over time - these guys went from pretty good to up there among best bands ever.
Besides Linkin Park
Radiohead is now an Art Rock band, a genre in which they use use modernist, experimental and unconventional elements, it takes music to an artistic level, with the intention of being listened, felt and contemplated rather than being danced.
A lot of people never seem to mention Colin's playing. Understated yet brilliant.
The secret weapon
Colin's bass playing is tight and tuneful. ✌🏽✌
His little brother is on guitar
They are so unassuming, they're just like, "Yeah, that was a good one" and it was genius.
THEYRE SO FUCKING HUMBLEEEE YEAH
what, it didn't even have a chorus
@@escaton74 Get a load of this nonce ^^^
Right, 'I think that was fairly nailed don't you?'- Yeah'. Beaming
@@escaton74 not only is this a really weird criticism of a song, it did literally have a chorus.
Most bands' greatest hit can't even come close to a Radiohead B-side. Pure genius all-round.
SO TRUE
This song is masterpiece
it fucking is
indeed.
I AGREE. ONE OF THE BEST
Ed and Jonny are in amazing form here.
The way it opens up on the chorus is amazing
4:32 incredible how that "yeh" from Thom enriches the segment.
So if you take EVERYTHING Radiohead has done from 97 to 2011, put it in a blender and make a song out of it. Staircase comes out.
You aren’t wrong. One of their best songs
People say this about Ful Stop as well
@@John.ChristopherFul Stop is great though :(
@@yungggiraffe sure is!
@@yungggiraffe omg the guy from black midi
These are real live performance. Real musicians.
yes sir
It's Radiohead, yes...
colin greenwood is a seriously underated bass player.
Here four years later just to say thanks! Colin gets overlooked a lot simply because Radiohead is exploding with talent, but he's incredible. And the fact that his grooves blend so well into the mix that they almost disappear is a testament to how incredible he truly is
Yeah, he’s fantastic but the whole band is like so unique in their own way.
And it's not just his technical ability - he's completely leading where this song goes.
This has become one of my favorite latter day Radiohead tunes. The arrangement seems to get more intricate with every listen.
Same happened to me!! : )
I can’t believe I have missed this song for so many years. It is absolutely insane. Such a freaking awesome rush. Just a few months that my playlist randomly chose this song for me and I was instantly hooked.
@@roygalaasen Some of their best songs were not released on the proper studio albums! Off the top of my head Talk Show Host, Gagging Order, Polyethylene, Pearly and Daily Mail are all incredible, along with many others. I definitely recommend digging into their b-sides if you haven't already.
@@MikeHermetic all great songs! The only one I haven’t heard is Gagging Order, but my other half eavesdropped on me listening and she said wow that is great, and she is not a fan so that was a bit funny. I totally agree about what you say about b sides. There are so many gems hidden on the backside of singles that never made it to the album. When it comes to Radiohead, there are really no bad songs though. I just watched a video about their worst song. Before I started to watch I was thinking to myself, “what?? There can’t be any”, and that was basically the conclusion in the video too lol.
Edit: oh yeah... I have been looking for the daily mail / staircase vinyl, but it seems I am almost 10 years late and impossible to find unless you want to part with significant amount of money lol
@@roygalaasen i know im late but i reccomend amnesiac b-sides like kinetic, worrywort, amazing sounds. You probably didn't heard them but they are better than the whole amnesiac imo
To hear Ed's guitar separately from Jonny's, listen to the song again using only the right speaker (Jonny is on the left) - it's a bit hard to notice the brilliancy for those not used to it because he's using a huge variety of effects and feedback to achieve his sound. He does some really great stuff here, and hearing the song with both speakers again gets your mind blown by how much synergy Jonny and Ed have together. Both are brilliant musicians, but together they are something else - it's almost as if they are sharing the same mind while playing (and despite their styles being distinct, they fit together like jigsaw pieces.)
Wolf Faraday i mean that describes the whole band man honestly. They have some of the best arrangements in rock music. The fact theyre so cohesive in all types of styles is really unique, pink floyd is another one. Just so methodical yet natural and flowing, cant beat it. Im glad someones giving ed some credit, he doesnt usually take a noticeable position but once you do notice hes the cherry on top. Dont want a sundae without the cherry
Yes, homie. It’s the chemistry of them having been in a band together for like 30 years. Love it!
thank You for that info!
Totally agree with you in general - Ed is brilliant and underestimated. On this song though, i think its Jonny who does all best parts. The basic verse pattern, the high note pattern in the 'bridge' and my favourite part - the dark, murky stuff in the 'The pot is full'. Amazing!
This is a pretty dense mix so it's hard to hear those details, even if you separate it by the panning. Frankly, all I hear is the real star, that Prophet pad... so good. The drums and bass are awesome too. (I really dig that there is such a blend between the synthetic drums and the live drums, sounds very cool)
I love Radiohead. Fun fact: they were the first band to clone one of their members
lol what?
@@John.Christopherthe Drummer
@@Flicesen oh, this must have wooshed right over my head when I replied haha thanks
I think....I think this song is absolute perfection. When I think of Radiohead, this song speaks to what they're capable of creating. This is no longer a "song" - it's actually a voyage taking us deeper and deeper into their world of sound. As you listen, you're being taken down the staircase. My goodness they've done it. This would have been the crown jewel on The King of Limbs.
just wouldn't have fit
Its not a song is composition thats differrence
100%
Alongside with Daily mail
Jigsaws falling into place
oh man, radiohead is the most creative band in the world. every song they have is good. just amazing.
Pablo Honey contains some pretty average songs
+Rdog 96 they were premature back then
.
Its not their best. But its not bad either, I like it.
I agree, you can't give them too much shit. They had a fluke hit with Creep, and were very confused as to what to do with the album. (Creep came out the year before PH) Also they just hadn't matured, but it still doesn't make it good. Creep is a fairly average song, and some of the songs on there like You or Lurgee are super-cheesy. But Blow Out is really good, it feels like an actual Radiohead song except for those slightly ear-grating guitars at the end.
The way he shakes his head ...
I know, I know :3.
look great
..Mark Hollis
😫😩😤😋
beautiful Muppet
I'm 65,a few years ago, went into hospital. I woke up to radiohead ,staircase. Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤😊
Even their b-sides are just astounding. This band brings so much joy into my life.
This song carries me on a journey to a place I've yet to reach....incredible flow with so many layers. A song that shouldn't end. Love it.
ONE OF THE BEST RADIOHEAD SONGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My favorite song from the King Of Limbs sessions and they put it as the second track on a b-sides single.
@@jclark1693 I will never understand that. Ever.
Ya, they left The Daily Mail off the original release also...Craziness.
Their most beautiful one.
THIS is what professional,multi-talented musicians sound like!
21 years later they still make me cry. What a song!
I AGREE
5 minutes of total heaven!!!! No other band has the unique sound that Radiohead has!!! Timeless and pure!
That's just what I think and feel for this great band !!
I remember playing this song as I stepped aboard the train heading to college. I never actually went to college, but since I was still living with my parents, I had to pretend I did. All I really had at that time was music, and Radiohead was a big part of that.
lolwut
bruh
Damn.
Same just without Radiohead and sleeping in my car or pubic places.
hope things are movin' in the right direction for you.....
Music for the head, music for the soul. I feel so at peace.
everyone in this group is sooo good at playing their parts. no one steps on any other parts. It's like the most perfect math equation.
There are 2 philip selways
+Adel John His lost clone. No wonder one of them ended up in Portishead. Alternate head world.
+ChesterAsucka 2balds4me
the drugs are bad
why are there two philip selways
Clive Deamer 😎
I love Thom's expression right as he begins- like "I know this sh*t is good!"
How does this sound exactly like the recorded version? It’s insane how amazing this band is
Its the same. It turned out so well they decided to release this version, not sure if they did extra work on it after, though (like they did for My Iron Lung, which was also taken from a live version). And the same was done with the Daily Mail.
I think Thom redid the vocals but yeah everything else is the same I think. Absolutely love this tune and wish it had made it onto TKOL.
I just love watching Thom dancing.
2:28 What an absolutely beautiful shot.
Yesssss
@@originalname6231 Good camera work and editing choice. 👌
I would argue 3:30
My left ear is getting a nice taste of Jonny Greenwood's guitar
it's weird.. there's something about this song... I've heard it before... but never gave it the attention it deserved. now i can't stop listening.
Same!!
Decades-long Radiohead fan here, I'm literally finally appreciating its beauty! I love this band for constantly delivering.
One of the BEST songs of Radiohead. What a creation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Keep coming back every other day to listen to this. Unbelievable.
Are you me? Amazing underrated song man...
oh my God, that synth...
Incredible no!? 'o'
5:00-5:03 Ed's just like, "I swear to God I'm gonna start a solo project."
youd never know he is the man behind the gun, he created the most songs secretly.
this comment killed me
ito123456789 Lol. He said he will.
Nolan Kurtz he's starting one, supposed to come out this spring
neooope
greatest band of all time thank you for all the great music throughout the years
I love how sensual the bass and drums sound in this song
I's entirely sensual !
Colin Greenwood is the most under appreciated bass player in music today
greatest band of all time.
I love how into it Thom is
I love those jazz guitar chords...
believe it or not
this song lifted me outta a seriously nasty dark no escape depression
thank you Thom
going all the way back summer of '95. here we are. go listen to his new song wall of eyes
The only problem about this song is that ends
repeat replay rite
Those seem to be some of the best ones
Speechless… just wow.. basement recordings are a masterpiece; can’t get enough of it, what a musicians..👌
This is maybe my favorite Radiohead performance ever. Definitely in the top 3.
I think the same - my favourite one 😇
I can die peacefully listening to this!
they just continue to get better and better....
clive by portishead in the drum wow beautiful performance
I love when Thom gets crazy
This is definitely one of the top songs from them. mind numbing
Music can't change the world, but it can make a shit load of people happy. Nice!
And that will change the world
I started shaking my head to this without knowing
POWER.
cells.
The way this video was lit, shot, and edited = very cool
I love the camera work and editing on the videos from this session. It's like they're showing you the story of how the song was made as you listen to it.
when it starts to show its dark colours i just replay this it fucks right off..bless radiohead
Greatness is normally momentary but they keep producing masterpieces.
you're right!
3:55 always gets me
'I think that was fairly nailed don't you?' Ha! Genius.
I come back to this over and over. just a perfect example of sublime musicianship in cohesive harmony.
This song gives me a very particular and comfortable vibe. Like if someone's telling me the things aren't that good, but they don't actually have to be. It's a strange feeling, something like a shelter. Thank you thom, jonny, colin and phillip, you're my heroes.
best song ever?
absolutely.
Steve Sperdacion yeah, and I found it back at last, chased it in all discography from Thom Yorke to Radiohead.
Agree
in limbo is better
almost
Perfection
La calidad con la que esta grabado, los planos, los cortes y zooms son increíbles; ni hablar de la música. Este video es una obra de arte.
so, so good-should have been on king of limbs!
+Alex Campion also the daily mail
agreed! i really think king of limbs could have been a stronger album with those songs.
+Alex Campion I can see why the Daily Mail wasn't included - it would have been incongruous - but I can't fathom why this song was rejected. One of the best they've done. * shakes fist *
i know! it would have shifted the atmosphere of the album towards something a bit darker, which it could only have benefitted from. "the darker, the better", that's my motto!
The songs were supposed to be in the album. They weren't because they were not finished yet and they didn't feel confident in finishing them soon enough so putting the album on hold wouldn't pay off. Daily Mail felt "stuck" despite them hammering their heads against it, and Staircase was still in a very early stage. So they just released the album and left these, among a few others, for later.
That's pretty much it.
Staircase still wasn't "done" when they recorded this, but they liked the result so much that it became the final version.
Small detail: They did not have Clive during the recordings of TKoL, but he was already with the band in this session. Maybe that's what made the jigsaw fall into place. Clive participated in the recordings for AMSP pretty much as a full member of the band (albeit not officially, like Nigel. Yet? Only time can tell).
i really can't grasp the greatness of this band.. how much they are in tune with each other, you can literally feel the most perfect groove a group of musicians could have
How this and The Daily Mail were not included on The King Of Limbs will forever blow my mind.
Those changes. Absolute gold 🙌
Quizás no haya nadie que hable español por aquí, pero bueno. Radiohead me inspiró demasiado y empecé a componer hace años gracias a ellos. Tengo una banda donde me basé mucho en ellos como influencia para la búsqueda de mutar de estilo entre canción y canción. Además de sus hermosos paisajes sonoros. Apenas tenemos presupuesto, así que uso este medio para tratar de hacer un poco de spam idiota. Quizás les guste. Esta banda cambió mi manera de percibir la música, abrió mi cabeza radicalmente. Es un tren sin retorno. ♥
A mi me sirve también de inspiración, te ayuda a abrir la mente.
The perfect B side really. Musically a blend of 80's Cafe Noire, 90's Berlin and a symphonic Blade Runner like synth, esp that counter melody at 2:17
Reminds me of the best holiday of my life. Me and my best mate ran away to Miami for some us time, it was really late one night nothing but lights and warm air and we took a drive, it was hot and we had a mustang convertible, the roof was down, our hair flowed in the night air. We drove across bridge after bridge, after bridge not saying a word to each other, in the hot air, just playing this song over and over again. Life changing moments.
My favourite Radiohead song!
One of their most underrated technical songs. Just brilliant
There is so much happening musically on this tune each instrument and multi rhythms has its own random journey but all come together amazingly.. Most likely the best of the best..
whenever i listen to this song (or most of their songs) i feel on edge. like the music and instruments are so well put and played i feel like it's all going to fall apart if someone breaths on it. but it's so beautiful. i don't know what i'm saying, this is a great song in short.
I hope you're doing fine
On some other level. Dark, deep and totally out of this world. Keeping the substance in UK music. Loooooove Radiohead and other brooding and artful British acts like Massive Attack, Gary Numan, Portishead, Unkle, Atoms For Peace,
Depeche Mode,Tricky, PJ Harvey, Allflaws
Love how wistful the synth lines are
0:55 Ed is just standing there like: "Man, we're amazing."
this is ominous - my chest is contracting - my tear glands are collapsing - I can no longer breathe - goosebumps - I am losing control
thom walked pasted my dad at his work when he went for a cig by newmans street... he froze couldn't say anything. His life long hero just walks past him.... seriously my dream rn is to see radiohead live with my dad
Nice. Newman St in London? I worked there for 8 years but never saw Thom unfortunately... I guess I should have had a cigarette.
Heaven.
I know there a million options but this is in my top 5 of underrated Radiohead tracks....
1) Where I End and you Begin
2) Jigsaw Falling into Place
3) Staircase
4) The National Anthem
5) A Wolf at the Door
Perfect list!
2:30 that moment is so magical. The camera work is wonderful!
en verdad cada tema con thom yorke es una obra maestra,
Pienso igual que ti, pero te dire q con el tiempo aprendi que no es Yorke sino el trabajo de todo el grupo, ahi todos son maestros y juntos son muy buenos... Pero separados demuestran que el trabajo de Radiohead es de Radiohead y no de ellos por su propio camino ;) ...
si es cierto !
the best thom yorke haircut
Such a cool cat and always will be this cut is a monumental masterpiece
This song just keeps blowing my mind with every listen. GENIUSES!!!
amazing drumming!!!!
I love all the cuts between the brothers greenwood and the drummers bald! just brilliant
I've always appreciated this band because they constantly reinvent themselves. They redefined alternative rock. Their innovative experimentation and fearlessness in pushing music toward its greatest depth transformed how I listened to music in the 1990s and 2000s.
Bass line class
The ONLY downside to loving RH is that everything pales in comparison.
Upside: Always fresh with creativity, every album is so different with a common thread of familiarity through it. I spend my time wondering what direction they will take next, anxiously anticipating the next album is part of the fun of it. On one hand I want them to hurry but on the other hand I know it's going to be stellar so I have to trust their timing. I love you, RH... (I always have from the moment I heard you) ... always will love you. Thank you for the inspiration. xox
"Everything pales in comparison" that's the truth. When you really getting into it, the other bands don't satisfy you in any way.
The song is truly one of their best! They have reached a point of total creative freedom, mixing patterns from different eras of their styles, with a smooth blending of all their everchanging pack of instruments and tools they have found and mastered. This is what every artist should do, explore the infinite possibilities.
EVERYDAY ALL DAY....RADIOHEAD!!
Yea!!!
Radiohead fan for nearly 30 years, first heard this one a compilation of rare and acoustic songs. It was easily the most beautiful thing I've heard in many years, and then I searched and found the song here and this different version deciding because it was different I wouldn't like it as much obviously. On my second listen it is clearly the best thing I've ever heard in my entire life. Respect
I absolutely fucking love this awesome track,,its just so good
Love this song so hypnotic
amazing baseline and beautiful chorus. The color of the synthesizer makes the song. Ed and Jonny's guitar riffs/chords, as always - soul-cutting.
Makes me want to cry but I don’t want to stop. Thanks boys
creep was so primitive. I love this staircase....
primitive can be ok too
barb Indeed Creep is a fine song. I'm more into the later stuff like most fans are, but it doesn't make Pablo Honey bad in my view.
