Can't be doing with all the backwards malarkey on the studio version. Love both versions, but the Might Be Wrong version is in my top 5.

He hadnt even decided if it was a solo track or a radiohead one yet. Same thing with Lotus Flower, he debuted it when Atoms for Peace just started performing live in 2009. You can watch cymbal rush here in their encore a few days after LA in Santa Barbara. They webcast that show so its soundboard audio. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=F8GMnXN6hkg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though maybe not if he will play it will Atoms For Peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Thom also played Skirting On The Surface at AFP gigs, which was a Radiohead song. And Follow Me Around was played for the first time with a band behind it and not just on guitar. To top it off, Paperbag Writer got the AFP treatment too, so maybe more that Thom wanted some different stuff for those gigs? One of my favorites was them playing Rabbit In Your Headlights.

Burn the Witch is another that seems much better on the studio version. Ful Stop seems an obvious one for better live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirjonnyp Posted August 26, 2020 Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 The 2006 live version of Videotape > Studio version > subsequent live versions There's a few long and nerdy videos out there about the syncopation in that song - the 2006 version didn't have any and was able to rock out more, so it's kind of unfair to compare it with what went on the record, which is a fair more delicate and haunting affiar. The subsequent live versions have been fairly true to that, although can't get close enough to the gracefulness of the studio version. Like Burn The Witch, Jigsaw is another one that they never quite got right live for me. The Scotch Mist version in particular grates, and although it definitely improved over the next year or so (like BTW) I understand completely why they dropped it from the setlists. I much prefer Kid A (the song) on record to live versions, although as with the KoL material, being at the gig with a decent soundsystem probably makes a big difference.

Burn the Witch is another that seems much better on the studio version. Ful Stop seems an obvious one for better live. But there was always the old old version of Burn The Witch that had Jonny using a banjo. Ful Stop has changed quite a bit. The 2012 version was really synthy and didnt even have the long intro. Then in 2016 it had more guitar which then changed to less guitar in 2017. i just think seeing how they like to change some songs over the course of a tour is always interesting. This last album cycle gave them that kinda leeway since it was 2 1/2 years of gigs. and yeah, 2006 videotape was the best thing. Just look up the Bonnaroo show and you got it right there.

stuartbert two hats Posted August 26, 2020 Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 Fake Plastic Trees is better live, at least it was at Glasto. Interesting titbit, that Daniel Stashkin account on YouTube posted an early demo of FPT and it contained some of the melodic differences that I liked so much in their 2017 performance, but recorded before The Bends.

That one is far superior in the studio. Well for me it is. It captures a weird lush atmosphere (the subtle layers of guitar!) they never really translated in a live context.

The name rang a bell , but I'd never seen it before. This is a first time list reaction video to Radiohead. The listener is going through their albums. He didn't like Pablo Honey, thought The Bends was ok. There was a somewhat stronger reaction to OK Computer... For some bizarre reason, the full thing is still up, songs and all - none of his other videos are (Kid A and Amnesiac are also there, but without the music, so not so good). He does go on a bit, but gets genuinely moved by the record. Well worth a watch.

Little Andy Posted August 26, 2020 Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 Wow, that was my favourite Radiohead reaction he's done. It really highlights how underrated A Moon Shaped Pool feels to me. I wonder if it came out when Kid A came out, if it would be placed higher on a pedestal, but now a new Radiohead album inevitably can't feel as fresh to long term fans.
