I'm sorry but am I the only old fuck with a glass of wine watching this with a smiling grin to the ceiling?
Man, ive been listening to this song daily at least three times for a month bow
I’m convinced this song is one of the best from any Thom Yorke/Radiohead related project.
Agreed! I feel the same way about A Light For Attracting Attention too. Such great songwriting on that album!
yeah i really don't think so
I feel the same!
Absolutely agreed. If anyone doubted whether they still had it in them, they have it alright!
💯
Every year thom writes his new best song.
The Smile is a wonderful opportunity for Thom and Jonny to enjoy the wonder of pure creativity without the collosal pressure of being Radiohead. The result is stunning.
Thom looks so damn healthy and has never sounded better.
Vegan?
The ending gets me pregnant every time. I’m owed so much child support from these fellas…
WHO SAYS THIS LIKE THAT o_O
“Sheer bloody poetry “
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
the f bro
we were all thinking it @@loleq2137
Tom could sing a menu from a restaurant and it would be killer 😅
He would be singing his order to the waiter
Flan in the face, flan in the face, flan in the face
This is true
@@olexandrhumeniuk299 banger comment
Couldn't agree more 😄
I'm going to quantify what I'm going to say by telling you that in moving ever closer to 60 years old. I'm not new to the world and I'm a life long lover of music. With that said, I truly believe that Thom and Jonny are the Lennon/ McCartney of their generation. There. I said it. I just love anything they do together and their catalog is very expansive.
I;m going to be 60 in October ahd I feel the same way there's so much more music after all these years and the Beatles could never happen again but I consider Radiohead their spiritual successors.
Jesus this song is great live I haven't heard it live.
that guitar tone is heavenly
It is
Jonny’s Solo at the end is so much different than the studio version and my personal favorite. Seems every show has a different ending!
thats bc they are improvising (in both)
Ever heard of improvisation?
Studio version?
I figured out they are talking about digital release. When I hear studio version I assume “physical release” because I’m old.
@@rgcast I mean, a 'studio version' version of a song is simply a version of a song that has been recorded, engineered, mixed, mastered, etc. in a studio. It doesn't have anything to do with a particular release of that song in the first place, no matter whether the release is physical or digital.
Radiohead blew my mind in ‘97 when I first heard “Paranoid Android,” now in ‘24 consider my mind blown again after hearing this
What a precise and pointful guitar playing! Jonny managed to surprise me again. You can’t get used to his talent.
Top tier creativity
The discrete guitar hero
agreed, no idea how at times he makes it sound as if there are more than 1 guitar being played
Holy…This is what I’m in the mood for. “Despite these slings, despite these arrows, I’ll force myself to turn.” What a performance! God bless Thom’s angel voice and also Jonny’s finger.❤️🩹
jonny's finger
finger
God bless your fingers, for typing these nice words!
this is a hamlet reference
"How was that?" Well it was pretty fucking magnificent, Thom!
I love the smile i lo d fbe smile i love fhe sile i love the smile i lovd fhe smsiel i lcoe the smile

What I love is that Thom and Johnny can do whatever they like. This track oozes everything they’ve done in their entire career while still feeling new. So whenever I hear people complain about which era of Radiohead they like or don’t like, This song displays everything that people like no matter whatever era of their careers. Those that miss the energy of the bends and ok computer, you get that in this song. Those that prefer something akin to Amnesiac/HTTT/in rainbows/ AMSP, you also get that here, and those that like the solo stuff, you also get that here. It’s such a great track that builds into such a solid rollercoaster ride of a scene. Shows they still have so much creativity in the tank without ever phoning anything in.
Yeah I agree, this track is so classic radiohead, if you squint your eyes you can see phillip on the drums. But it also way more organic than most radiohead tracks, hints why it translates so well to live. It feels like they put talk show host, spinning plates and blowout together.
A bending hectic song, I mean beautiful…
jonny jus keeps getting kooler
Sublime. The drums are crystal clear on this, so this is instantly my favourite version.
The ground is coming for me now
Wе've gone over the edge
If you've got something to say
Say it now
Simply beautiful.
Greenwood doing film soundtracks and compositions adds to how he comes up with his playing style and helps so much with their atmosphere and mood of the songs. Always has been so unique
"Follow us down the train crash" - Yep, this about sums up this heart wrenching and self-affirming journey of a tune pretty succinctly.
This exact version is my favorite song forever
This song, it's like a drive, a drive down the Italian mountainside, chasing the Sun , once I was so happy there.
Lovee this song so much, almost as much as driving the bends in Italy.💜 Thanks guys, you awesome.😻🏴
This is brilliant on so many levels. What a treat!
Are they men or gods. Few can enter their world but all are invited to watch.
Wall of eyes is such a present. No RH album in sight and these 3 give me the best album since IR. It grows and grows and grows.
Agree, been listening to it for a while and every damn time it feels better
Me too my friend. Like most radiohead stuff, it challenges you to like it. And if you put the effort in the payoff is far greater than ‘obvious’ music
My favourite song for about 10 years. The last one was Radiohead. The one before that was Radiohead. The one before that was......
Taylor Swift, aye?
Absolute masterpiece..... So much energy and emotions..
I listened at 20 percent volume , good. Then at 80 percent, great. Now at a hundred…. Wish me luck
100 was too much. 20 was best
Props to the audience for not ruining this masterpiece
I was having a bad day and now I’m cured…thanks guys👍😊
when thom asks "how was THAT" you know he's proud of the song... and rightfully so!
Johnny channeled his inner Billy Corgan at the end and it is 🔥. Probably the heaviest and freshest song I've heard this year.
masterpiece - every one of them at the absolute pinnacle of mastership. but - THE F**ING DRUMS - HOLY FATHER IN HEAVEN !!!!!!!
this is better than studio version ngl
should have been on the live album, absolutely brilliant performance
Next one... 😊
hopefully on the next one! since it belongs to a wall of eyes :]
I am really happy to see thom is having fun again being on stage. Also brilliant performance
It's amazing how this song has evolved from the last tour to this year's tour. I've uploaded an edit of 'Bending Hectic' in Mexico to my channel, and it is as powerful as the Montreux version. However, they experimented a little bit more with tension and release. Each time they play a song, it becomes alive. That's one of the things that I love about the band - they relive the songs every time they perform.
Hope to see them again once LP2 comes out.
Hi, what do you think of the new album? (Wall of eyes) Like everyone else I wanted a new Radiohead album but The Smile have been keeping me happy, going to see them tonight 20th march in Glasgow 🎸👍
@@StephenReid-hk8hs Hi! I hope you enjoyed the show in Glasgow yesterday. I love the new album, and while I don't really compare Radiohead and The Smile that much, I must say I lean towards The Smile, my view is that as long as we get good music, everything is fine. As for the songs, I tend to prefer the first versions of "Under Our Pillows," for example, but I also really like the album version. I was hoping to get a couple more songs like "Colours Fly." in WoE.
I'm waiting for the announcement of the next tour, hoping I can grab tickets for either US or Mexico shows. It makes me sad that they won't come to Chile, but I understand that it's weird for them to schedule a tour in LATAM. Logistics are hard, and typically only Brazil, Chile, and maybe Argentina have "big enough" production companies, so they feel comfortable making shows. Anyways, cheers from all the way down, across the pond.
@@_fpc thanks for the reply, I just listened tonight to a new version of bodies laughing from their Brussels gig the other week, you should give it a listen? Like most The Smile songs it doesn't disappoint, hope you get those tickets cause it's something you won't forget 🇺🇸🏴🎸👀👍
5:22 (“Get ready”) “And I’m letting go of the wheel…” 🤯 💥❤
How the hell do I express my love for these legends
three people making all of that puff, made me very happy
The first time I heard this, it woke me up and slapped me in the face.
Как они это делают? Они здесь круче чем в молодости. Это песня одна из лучших у Йорка.
I wish more of Thom’s songs would find their way to the band’s setlists.
Initially I was kind of skeptical about the idea of a 3 person band, but a performance like this makes me forget that. Powerful sound, and yet, we hear all the little variations. Great stuff.
Trios are the best, no place to hide
Saw them live and they were amazing
On some songs they have a fourth member, playing sax
Mind bending 🤯 also.... "Jonny splits his finger" should be your next song title
the opening guitar bits sounds a lot like some of the work of peter green in his fleetwood mac days. i love it.
Interesting refernece, no one ever mentions Peter Green
Interesting to hear the slight changes between this and the final studio version.
The studio version isn't final, it's just one iteration of many.
What studio version? What am I missing?
@@rgcast theres literally a studio recording of this song
@@RyanRenteria I’m old. When I see or hear studio version I think physical copy. I realized they are talking about the digital release. 😬
There's a different take off, with LCO Strings
The whole live performance at Montreux was majestic !!!!!!! Thank you guys 💙
that was just amazing to answer your question at the end ...
I'll listen this hundreds of time... like most of your songs since more than 20 years now
Ditto !!!
Listened to this many times when it was first performed from some phone recording. REALLY wish they had uploaded this version back then lol... but anyway, I really dig the instant crash into the electric part as opposed to the cinematic build up in the studio version.
"I Promise" this group has to be the most talented band I ever heard..Thom has a unique imagination he can make any song sound wild yet beautiful..love 😘😘❤❤❤u guys!!!
I was mesmerized hearing this for the first time at their Denver concert. It's one of my favorite songs. Much love to, Thom, Jonny, and Tom! ❤️
Epic this song! Probably one of the strongest compositions of the last few years
A masterpiece - possibly my favorite of anything “Thom”
The hints of early Radiohead bside catalogue with the new ideas is pretty neat
❤ Jonny you don't how I love you. Thank you for all your music. 🇵🇪
Love it so much. My fav live of bending hectic.
This recording, with lyrics fresh off the pen, is precious. Having watched numerous live recordings of this song since, this "how was that?" first performance is something extra special. I find myself coming back here often to relive the moment this happend. This would be a no-brainer for a time machine. I suspect this recording will have a long history in the archives.
Greatest musicians ever to live.
красиво
Jonny Greenwood realized in horror: "Was that an actual guitar solo with lil' taps of the ring finger involved? Got to get the London Contemporary Orchestra to cover that up for the real thing!"
Energy lift 😋
Thom est toujours autant sexy ❤
One of those you want to wallow in for a bit longer even after 8 minutes.
I’m honestly blown away by Thom’s bass playing. He has a great right hand touch, good dynamics. He gets a good sound. I can’t believe he can sing and play bass like that. I like that Johnny is playing a Les Paul and Thom an EB-1, because of the particular temperament, the scale length of those instruments. The drums are tuned excellent. I feel this song needs a bridge that is harmonically adventurous, modulates several times, and then comes back.
I only just discovered this about 6 weeks ago😭
Ive never instantly loved a song as much as this.
Thank you Thom & Jonny for 30ish years of outstanding music & to Thom for his remix of creep which made me like the song again after 30 yrs of disliking it😅❤
love these geezers
Lmao. Same.
Flew in from London for this solo. Was one of those sticky, balmy nights. Those bending notes Jonny conjures epitomise that perfectly. Unreal tune.
For those who need Radiohead and get just…what they needed. That last two minutes, dear lord.
One of my favourite songs, can't ever get enough of it.
I was there.
The ending of this performance is amazing.
it's like good wine
This man is Genius
i remember when i saw them a few weeks ago thom yorke said that they performed this song here first. glad i finally get to see it
If you're lucky enough to have the means and the time, seeing your favourite artist at Montreux Jazz in the Miles Davis Hall is a fantastic experience. I'd argue there's no other venue for rock that offers such clean sound. Two out of my three most memorable gig were there.
If they can do that in half an hour, I expect radiohead's LP10 by Friday.
On a Friday
Radiohead Jokes never seem to disappear. At least not completely.@@danielmgalhaes
sick tune
Total tune. My mind is nicely blown. Thank you.
Never been a big fan of les Paul’s but as a 3piece it really fills the space… the end of this track reminds me of the last 3rd of mother by red house painters. Controlled angst and heavy chaos but loaded with restraint 🔥
wow another rhp fan! Marks my favorite artist
@@quetzal2832he’s one of mine too… rollercoaster album is one of the greatest albums ever
This song I cant get into, its just so anxious and eerie feeling... I can appreciate that about it
reminds me of Like Spinning Plates in the best possible way :)
What an amazing tone jonnyyy 😍
Боже ця музика як подарунок тобі 🌈🇺🇦☯️🌏🌏🌍🥰
I want the smile to perform this with entire orchestra
It's so cool to see Thom playing bass and Johnny bending on that Les Paul.
Jonny!!! What's wrong with me?? Can I blame that on autocomplete?
I WAS WONDERING THIS LIVE VERSION, THKS FOR UPLOADING
beautiful ahh song
Because this song is so good 👍
Ils sont vraiment excellents! Ce nouveau morceau est trop bon !
This may be my favorite song ever
Me too! 🤩
Sheeeeeeeeeeeit! That was sweet!!
The solo totally explains the title
holly shit
Sweet Jesus
les Smile un jour..
les Smile TOUJOURS ❣️...🤩
