thank you! somebody please tell Radiohead they should have just released that shit as a live version on the album, because the live versions on the last tour were fucking great, and the live versions in 2006 when they toured this material as a preview was even better!
the 2006 live versions of
videotape , especially the fuller piano sound, the delays, the bridge with that drum click etc etc (which is entirely missing from the studio version) make it one of the best radiohead tunes ever..
in fact, as I mentioned before, how many of you in rainbows haterz saw it live or at least have some recordings? I've found that much like the grateful dead, radiohead's music is strongest when performed live. They are definitely a live band.. its just that Kid A/Amnesiac was such a good studio production they fooled us! But EVEN and ESPECIALLY Kid A/Amnesiac are also strongest performed live..
Frankly I am getting sick of all this radiohead haterizm, but what can I say? I despire both Led Zeppelin and the Beatles so I'm sure plenty of you out there despise me for it as well
thats the joy of music, its like religion, in can be universally uniting or absolute division like a civil war
