Wooh, this version is incredible! Here it turns out what the original idea of this song was. There is much more tension in it (guitars at the beginning are awesome), and then a pleasant denouement. Perhaps it is a little more interesting than the studio version, it's even a pity that they did so. It's the same with 4 minute warning, the early concert versions were great.
4 minute warning was so good in early concert form. I listened to it so many times anticipating how great it'd be on the record. Lol... let down and hanging around, much? 😅
[Verse 1] Get yourself together, let the light pour in Pour yourself a hot bath, pour yourself a drink Nothing's gonna happen without warning [Chorus 1] Down is the new up What is up, buttercup? Down is the new up, is the new up [Post-Chorus 1] Won't you be my girl? Won't you be my girl? [Verse 2] Your services are not required Your future's bleak, you're so last week Ladies and gentlemen, without a safety net I shall now perform a 180 flip-flop I shall now amputate, I shall now contort [Chorus 2] Because down is the new up What if I just flip-flop? Down is the new up, down is the new up Down is the new up, is the new up [Post-Chorus 2] You crawled off and left us, you crawled off and left us You crawled off and left us You bastard You bastard [Outro] You're on candid camera The chink in your armour Topsy turvy town Topsy turvy town Shake your pockets out Pass it on, pass it down Topsy turvy town Topsy turvy town
I remember being SO PSYCHED for this song to be on the new album. Like, I LOVE those major chords in the chorus... so cool! And then, not only was it relegated to the B-Side release, but it was LIFELESS and sterile. I wish they had tried to replicate the live energy for the record. It has a great arrangment with not only the layering of the instruments but also the vocals--I was so dang excited to hear these backing vocals all over the record, and they almost completely went away from it on the record. In Rainbows is a masterpiece, but in an alternate universe they do a very analog, "in-the-room" album that highlights the interweaving of vocal lines and live instrumentation...and it would have been lovely AF.
I agree. The In Rainbows tour had incredible live energy. I feel like after Hail To The Thief all of the Radiohead projects and Thoms solo work is incredible overproduced. Nigel Godrich is incredibly talented, and I know that there is a certain polish they are going for and they do achieve it, but it would be nice to just hear some raw live energy again.
You’ve taken the words right out of my mind...both the comments here. I remember hearing big ideas or nude for the first time (well just a clip) on the meeting people is easy documentary and then being a little disappointed on hearing it on In Rainbows... In the end I started to just think,well it’s another version and now I like both ...but to be honest I loved the rawness of the early live version...I felt the same definitely with videotape also There There was another song that blew me away with its rawness live (then felt flat on album)but again I adapted the same theory as before when hearing it on hail to the thief.. I think though looking back my feelings came because of the internet...because I never got these feelings with the bends or ok computer..because back then I didn’t have the internet So obviously I couldn’t easily hear their live stuff... I did see them on the ok computer tour in 97 and the Tent tour 2000 but obviously this is not enough to get the feelings of the said topic.. Or maybe I’m completely wrong and it really is just down to the mix,like hackneysack as stated here
Couldn't disagree more compared to the studio version this one lacks the ominous string section which adds so much. This version doesn't really have too much punch, it could have used some ed o brian pedalboard magic
@@Smrda1312 I think you could disagree a LITTLE more 😉 But yeah there are some good things about the recorded version for sure. I just prefer the live, open feel, which the studio version does not have at all
God damn! Everyone talks about the bonnaroo version of Videotape, but no one talks about the Toronto version of Down Is The New Up! This shit rocks!
Imagine them playing gigs this small again :(
Imagine them playing this song again
imagine them playing again
imagine them again@@th-hb9zl
Imagine them
imagine
Can't stop coming back to this video...AUDIO!

I go back to this now and then because I remember the quality of the audio.
Greenwood Brothers doing Drum and Bass at the end, after playing Piano and Guitar earlier in the song.
What a gem
The week before their legendary Bonnaroo performance.
It's kinda a shame this version of the song never got a studio recording. Or at least a From the Basmenent.

sweet baby jesus on the manger...
thanks for all these awesome multi angle radiohead vids
AWESOME! This is the best audio / video of DITNU live.
i was there! (not in the video, obvs)
it's great to see how that song developed from first performance to finished product
I like the album version's intro much more with the bsus4 to bmajor to baug to bmajor, has so much emotion on the piano
best than album version
This is fucking incredible!!
fucking ridiculous.
[Verse 1]
Get yourself together, let the light pour in
Pour yourself a hot bath, pour yourself a drink
Nothing's gonna happen without warning
[Chorus 1]
Down is the new up
What is up, buttercup?
Down is the new up, is the new up
[Post-Chorus 1]
Won't you be my girl? Won't you be my girl?
[Verse 2]
Your services are not required
Your future's bleak, you're so last week
Ladies and gentlemen, without a safety net
I shall now perform a 180 flip-flop
I shall now amputate, I shall now contort
[Chorus 2]
Because down is the new up
What if I just flip-flop?
Down is the new up, down is the new up
Down is the new up, is the new up
[Post-Chorus 2]
You crawled off and left us, you crawled off and left us
You crawled off and left us
You bastard
You bastard
[Outro]
You're on candid camera
The chink in your armour
Topsy turvy town
Topsy turvy town
Shake your pockets out
Pass it on, pass it down
Topsy turvy town
Topsy turvy town
It’s like they mashed it with house of cards

I disagree. Studio version sounds dark and intense, I like it more.
