Deathshuck I dunno, I feel like King of Limbs is weak, it's another step back for their sound. In Rainbows felt that way for me too, but then again, that album is mostly just random thrown-away tracks from their entire career. But The Bends-Hail to the Thief is amazing. Nothing really compares to those albums. I felt like KOL relied too heavily on monotonous drum patterns, uninteresting riffs, and uninspired vocals. But I guess they are evolving nonetheless. I guess I just feel they're past their prime. Just like Pink Floyd after Dark Side-The Wall/The Final Cut.
beatles7798 Funny you should say that because The Final Cut is probably the most uninspired album Pink Floyd ever put out, the band was completely fed up with working eachother at that point. The Division Bell is miles better than The Final Cut, for the simple fact that the band enjoyed playing with each other again, without Roger being present and interfering with everything. That's why I like KOL too, even though I prefer In Rainbows sound-wise, at least KOL is inspired and they tried to do something new, which is what a band should always do, not rely on nostalgia and making same stuff album after album.
Deathshuck Well, you use the word uninspired when describing The Final Cut. I do not disagree, for I would be a fool to do so, that The Final Cut was a completely Waters-run solo album, with the band as backing artists. But the sound on that album IS completely original. Up until that point, no artist had ever dared to release an album so personal, and so musically diverse. From the song structures, to the complexity of the vocal lines. Division Bell reeks of 80s and 90s pop, whereas The Final Cut has a much more timeless feel to it. I guess my argument is a little biased, but using the word uninspired to explain TFC, while defending Division Bell is completely ridiculous. Uninspired is a poor choice of words.
beatles7798 For me The Final Cut is just a tremendously boring album musically. I couldn't care less about the concept and how personal it is, if the music isn't engaging. Lyrics are secondary. I come from a younger generation and I can tell you right now that the songs from The Division Bell are more beloved by modern Pink Floyd fans than anything from The Final Cut, which kind of turns your "timeless" argument on it's head. The Division Bell takes you in as soon as it starts, when you hear that haunting piano accompanied with Gilmour's echoing guitar, for me that's what defines Pink Floyd. Granted, some of the songs sound like new-age noodling, but when discussing the album today on it's own musical merits, such argument really has no relevance whatsoever. The melodies are beautiful, there's great energy and for me it was closer to the essence of Pink Floyd. Marooned is hands down Gilmour's best instrumental and High Hopes is just legendary. I can't tell you how many conversations I've had with people about that song alone. At the end of the day, Pink Floyd functioned best as a unit when everyone was collaborating, but if I had to choose between Waters' lyrics and Gilmour's guitar, I'd take the latter any day of the week.
It's strange - as an album TKOL sits somewhere in the middle of Radiohead's repertoire for me. But after hearing it live it makes it sound so much better!
I absolutely agree. I didn't like KOL that much when released, but their From the Basement performance just amazed me, and now I'm a big fan of this album!!
I felt the same way about Amnesiac, after seeing them on the Amnesiac tour it was hard for me to place it after Kid A but now I just consider both one large album
They really need to re-evaluate their relationship with whomever mixed Lotus Flower on the record. It is flat out compared to the low-end power you feel when you hear that one live.
Keep on coming back to this, has to be up there with one of the best radiohead songs and live performances, smile is anazing but let’s hope there’s another radiohead album…
It's a small detail, but I love the fact that Jonny changed from a match grip on the basement version to a traditional grip from hereafter, just proves that they're always willing to learn and improve their craft
Everyone seems so frantic in their playing during this song and Colin is just laying down a slow, chill bass beat behind it all. It fits so well. I love it.
Because There is a show that recently ended that was called "The Colbert Report." It was a show on comedy central hosted by Stephen Colbert. Its a pretty funny show. Stephen does the news and makes fun of the news of whats going on. He interviews people during the show like Conan. This episode was a 1 hour special with radiohead when they were about to release TKOL. So yeah.
You can tell Stephen Colbert was genuinely blown away by the performance. Btw this is the best version of Bloom. Perhaps the best live performance of a song by Radiohead.
The first time I listen to this song in the studio album, I didn't get it.. But now, I consider it as a masterpiece. Amazing live performance.. They're really the most advanced band at this time.
Julián Alvarez I highly recommend listening to the "From The Basement" version of this album. Almost all the songs sounds very different then the original album. For me the "from The Basement" version is a completely different album and is truly a Masterpiece. Sorry for the bad English :)
Roy Russo Don't worry, I'm from argentina so my english is not perfect too haha. I actually heard that concert a lot of times :) it's a big piece of art!. I also like this Bloom's version, didn't hear it before so it really get me. But yes, the basement is a totally different album. They're trully genius! They evolved like no other band at this time.
Radiohead have managed to stay relevant and creative with sustained quality for 30 years. It is impressive, as impressive as this utterly brilliant live performance.
+butterflycaught900 22 years since Pablo Honey, I'd say that's when their revelance happened. I agree though and is your name to do with Massive Attack?
butterflycaught900 I love that song and 100th Window is one of my favourite albums of all time, firm top 15. Saying that I love all of MA's albums. I'd say Massive Attack is my joint 2nd favourite artist behind Radiohead. :)
@@gon2bed Now in 2022, it's very close to the 30 years the OP originally stated (perhaps, he was a little premature writing that back in 2016) ... However, six years later and nothing has altered the fact that Radiohead are still just as relevant as ever.
Devin Ellis My girlfriend and I have this inside joke. Whenever we hear something amazing or incredible one would go "WOW" then other "wowee" and about 3 seconds later end it with a final wow. Truly the best version of Bloom out there.
@@GreenToast01 I am a musician. They have a lot of rhythmic structures of different patterns overlapping. Polyrhythmic. That’s why it’s complex to the ear. They’re layered over each other with repeating guitar, arpeggi and vocals and bass. You seem like the “non-musician” to me man. I listen to prog rock, math rock, this is pretty simple compared to a lot of other technical genres out there. But you know everything, right buddy? I mean it’s not even changing time signatures I don’t think, it’s in 4/4 the whole song, It’s not even that complex at all. I’d say it’s pretty simple. Just had a listen to your “music”, mr. “Musician”. No talent. Sustained strings minimalist ambient music? That’s the easiest shit to make. Philip glass bullshit hahaha get a life; talentless. Of course someone who makes minimalist simpleton music thinks THIS is the height of music complexity. Idiot
@@beeftestosterone4840 I'm sorry if I offended you, I was very aggressive in how I said that. It is probably one of their most complex songs including a lot from this album. Radiohead might not be the most complex band but the sounds they come up with are outstanding. Jonny's string arrangements seem amazing to me, but obviously you know loads of people who can do better than him, and would probably list hundreds of reasons for why I am stupid thinking they are amazing. Music doesn't have to be complex to sound good. I have only been playing instruments for a few years, and music is the thing I am most interested in at the moment. Again I apologize for the aggressive comment, but you don't have to throw insults into every sentence to try and make me feel like an idiot. I don't think this is the 'height of music complexity' and never said that in my original comment. You are unsure whether the song changes time signatures throughout the song, and seem to think changing time signatures automatically changes it into a complex piece of music. You then go onto my channel after typing the comment to look at my music, insulting me, calling me talentless, 'get a life', 'bullshit'. Sustained strings minimalist ambient music. I make my music for fun, just for your information, I made that piece in an hour for a TEST. I am putting my music on CZcams for me to remember my progress through music. Please show me some very complicated Math Rock and Progressive Rock music for me to listen to, and also some of you OWN amazing music I would like to hear! Thankyou for the mature response to my comment, It was really interesting to read and I think it will help me understand more about music.
@@420jettt2 oh since you both had Kid A pfps, I thought you were op but I agree with you. It says a lot about the band when you can gather Radiohead fans and then ask them what their favourite album is, and then it can vary from Amnesiac, to Kid A, to AMSP, to Ok Computer, to In Rainbows.
+BlueBloom my greatest fear is that it's never going to happen for me because they will never come to South Africa where I live and even getting tickets would be impossible. The realization bums me out so much.
You could travel where they do it if you can :) They're far from stopping the band, in the future maybe you could. I live in Belgium, there's a little hope for me but getting tickets seem also impossible for me but I still hope. I would even travel just to see them but I know it's difficult. Don' lose hope :)
BlueBloom that's my point though - even in the cities they play people find it nearly impossible to get tickets because of scalpers and asshole opportunists. I will absolutely travel anywhere to see them so hopefully they announce more dates later this year.
Stunning performance. They pack a lot of stuff into one song, yet it all stands out. Excellent arrangement and production to get all those layers to ring clean like that. These guys are serious... no room for effing up.
I always have to approach each new Radiohead album with the understanding that it will just take time for me to understand it. They think in different wavelengths than other musicians and pieces like Bloom really solidify just an incredible contribution to music they make.
This song is so uplifting. I feel like i'm drifting through space or flying through the sky on a sunny day. Its like Thom is piercing my soul with his voice. Thats scream its f*cking amazing. Everything in this song, all the instruments, just come together so beautifully. So many sounds, so rhythmical. (I really went ham on this comment, but i just really like this song).
Like OK Computer and Kid A before it, they have again wiped the board clean and started anew. The reviews will say it's not their best.... But people these days won't accept it when an artist changes his vision. Like Kid A and OK Computer before it, this is art. Radiohead is still genius, and this proves it.
This is literally the greatest musical accomplishment Radiohead have ever ceated. And that is saying alot. If radiohead can release their next LP with anything half as good as this, They just OWN. PERIOD.
Shammo Hamid I love it now, but when I first heard it I really wanted a crazy electro rock album. like identikit from 2012...you get that at times and more.
@@buckrogez87 i have really come to love AMSP, especially with Ill Wind and Spectre included, now that you can actually get those singles without having to buy the special edition. Since it’s alphabetical I just put them in like that and it works! Kinda hope it’s their last tho. They’ve been going for a lonnnnnnnng time. AMSP is the perfect bookend to their legacy imo. With The Smile coming, the delayed ANIMA tours, and Phil and Ed’s side projects (not to mention Johnny’s film score work) now that we’re nearly six years out from the last Radiohead album, really hope AMSP is either the last, or .... I mean fuck I’d LOVE to get another album if it was amazing material. But a lot of AMSP were older songs, and it was the first session they did that didn’t have a buncha extra studio b sides. Anyways.
@@RustinChole I definately want one last album, AMSP is a gorgeous LP and would be a fitting end. But I would love for them to roll out all the stops and do one more MASSIVE album.
So glad I found this. I've watched a lot of Radiohead videos, and this is, by far, my favorite. At about 4:50, they could have just kept going for awhile and it would have been like a free-flowing jazz number. Sublime.
TKOL is an album where all tracks on it sound way better live than on studio. Take this video for example. Play this video, take a deep breath and then listen to the studio version. Quit the difference, eh?,
Bloom is like someone took the percussion sensibilities of mid 80's Tom Waits, the atmosphere of Phillip Glass, and the singing of Radiohead. It is such a strangely gorgeous track.
Awesome singing around 4:30. I could go on about the guitar playing, but won't bore you. I only listen to King of Limbs from the Basement. This is an amazing version of this song. I didn't know Radiohead had done this show. Wow-wow-wow.
i am artist by myself but it makes me cry how talented this band is. If you don’t know anything about music theory just to feel the vibe. It’s hard to explain but i guess in rainbows and this song chanced my life forever. One day i hope we will share the same stage it would be my biggest honor
![Impossible Germany (Live) - Wilco [HD]](/img/n.gif)
I don't care how many times it's said, accepted or denied. Radiohead is the best band in the world.
I don't think there's any doubt about that. There are not many bands who have played as long as they have and still kept their musical integrity.

I have a new appreciation for this song having now seen them build all the layers right before my eyes.
Friggin' amazing.
MY FAVOURITE OUT TEMPO TRACK BY RADIOHEADITS LIKE THEY RE CONNECTING SO DIFFERENTL..
No other band ever can evolve like radiohead...ever
I love this version of the song over the original Album version or the studio version. Love it!
It,s difficult to find something that is better then this...Awesome.....Everything fits together,,,, Thoms passion .
Everything will become this level. Maybe. Hopefully. Potentially.
So glad I found this. I've watched a lot of Radiohead videos, and this is, by far, my favorite. At about 4:50, they could have just kept going for awhile and it would have been like a free-flowing jazz number. Sublime.
So, this made me weep.
Yep, this is the best version of Bloom. Possibly Radiohead's best ever live performance.
TKOL is an album where all tracks on it sound way better live than on studio. Take this video for example. Play this video, take a deep breath and then listen to the studio version. Quit the difference, eh?,
What an unbelievable masterpiece !
This is a stunning version. Wow. Wowee!
Bloom is like someone took the percussion sensibilities of mid 80's Tom Waits, the atmosphere of Phillip Glass, and the singing of Radiohead. It is such a strangely gorgeous track.
that was fucking intense
King of Limbs is like "Human After All" by Daft Punk. Both albums just sound AMAZING live and WAY better then the studio versions. Holy shit.
Best version of Bloom ever!!!
Radiohead is the best band to ever walk the planet.
Why is this legitimately like the best version of this song
Radiohead doesn't fuck around.
I would do anything to see this song performed live.
Magic starts with the bass...
That melody Thom improvises at 4:30 is just awesome.
I think about/sing that moment in my head all the time. So good.
Everything they do is AWESOME!!!!
Okay why is this so much better than the studio version
Honestly, this may be the best performance I've ever seen
Holy shit. I'm glad this song evolved so magnificently from the studio version. Radiohead only goes towards one direcction, and it's always up.
This is crazy
Gave me shivers
Still the best
happy birthday Thom. u continue to astound 👍
Awesome singing around 4:30. I could go on about the guitar playing, but won't bore you. I only listen to King of Limbs from the Basement. This is an amazing version of this song. I didn't know Radiohead had done this show. Wow-wow-wow.
Must be incredibly difficult to play live!
and to play dead? WOW! FUCKIN SHIT
Colbert reaction is perfect
i am artist by myself but it makes me cry how talented this band is. If you don’t know anything about music theory just to feel the vibe. It’s hard to explain but i guess in rainbows and this song chanced my life forever. One day i hope we will share the same stage it would be my biggest honor
Yesss, me too
