An early performance of the song that was recorded by its author a few years later on Radiohead's album, 'The Bends'. Thom was playing with Exeter University band Headless Chickens during term-time, a band which included - among others - Simon Shackleton and John Matthias.
Filmed at the Lemon Grove, Exeter University, c.1990, by Shaun McCrindle.

Just imagine being one of those band members back then. They probably thought it was no big deal playing with their talented but slightly awkward friend Thom Yorke.

Realizing that he's my age here made me think what it would be like to just go back in time and see these performances, just watching my peer Thom play what would become one of my favorite songs many years later, knowing that he himself would grow up to be a legend. The fact that no one in that audiance or in that band had a clue feels weirdly nostalgic, even a bit sad somehow.

Im in a band myself and I find this so inspiring. It helps that I'm a massive Radiohead fan to I'm sure. I find it funny that this took so long to make it on to any album. It goes to show how hard it is to judge your own bands songs. This looks like just another song to them, but to the outside world its a masterpiece.

In one of his early interviews for Musiqueplus, Jonny says "Colin got me in the band so I'm always grateful." and Colin responds to that by saying "No, I'm grateful." In addition, in one of his interviews that I couldn't find again, Jonny says something like "making music with Thom is the best thing". but as I said, I don't exactly remember what he said so you should approach this statement with caution. Once I encountered a tweet which I really loved regarding the structure of Radiohead: I think the account belonged to someone named Joshua, who said that "Radiohead is what happens when 5 musical geniuses are all in the same band and what's best for the songs matters more than the individual parts." I think that's a well put description of their art and I agree...

I actually really like the backup vocals on this version of the chorus. You rarely hear 'big' harmonies like that on RH songs, because Thom often sings so high that the traditional 'higher' backup vocals would be moot. But here, the other singer actually does a lower harmony to Thom's falsetto, and it creates a cool effect
