Radiohead (Covers) - NYC Busker performs an acoustic Radiohead Set at the Metropolitan Ave. Subway 

Hello All, My band, OxHunt, has finally started our instagram page. Not much up there yet, but as we head toward our first album release, you can follow us from the ground up. @oxhuntband Thanks again for all the love!

A common theme of Radiohead is the monotony of life and the environment with the passing trains and folks coming and going enhances the power of the music, which is delivered by an amazing talent. It is our duty to support and protect artists such as this who bring beauty into lives and ask for little in return.

I love the camera angles and how they give a sense of loneliness but others are full and crowded

This is the best performance of Thom York I have ever seen in my life.

This isn't just a cover of Radiohead, this is a movie, one I'm watching over and over again. Well done sir, u have a new fan.

I cannot imagine stumbling on this gem of a musician in the subway. I would never get on my train.❤

A solid hour of some of the best Radiohead covers I’ve ever seen. And it only has seven thousand views. Gods of the RU-vid Algorithm, give this artist some love.

Back in September, I was standing on the opposite track listening to your rendition of Lotus Flower and thought to myself “this is the best Radiohead cover I’ve ever heard.” I regret not telling you that your music moved me, and that you inspired me to better my own guitar and singing. I’ve just been listening to the video recording on my phone… so I can’t say how happy I am to have found you! Radiohead is my favorite band and you, my friend, capture their magic. From one fan to another, you’ve got something special here - thank you for sharing it with the world!

Dear youtube...thank you...thank you very much for giving me such experience by listening to this wonderful performance..

The shot of the man in the hat and the glasses moving while you play is straight art

This video demonstrates 2 things very clearly: you’re an amazing artist, and the G train has far too little service 😂

Vocals, guitar, balls, stamina, capture, set list. God damn perfection. ***standing ovation***

Sunday night, I’m putting my two-year-old to bed. He’s fallen asleep on top of me while I watch this in its entirety. Everything in its right place. This fellow is an amazing musician and has the voice of an angel. I’ll be watching this video for years to come.

man if i was in this subway i would've cancelled all my plans and just listened

I grew up in New York. Now I understand why hearing Radiohead changed my life. The people don’t know what’s happening to them but it’s happening. And their lives are all the better for this chance encounter. You make me think of Orpheus in the underworld fighting to rescue his wife Eurydice from hell. I am going to write a song about you. After all, it’s spring. ❤️

Hello Everyone, Thank you all for the kind love and support. And more thanks to all my new subscribers. This video was devised as a temporary goodbye to Bushwick as my job [I am a film editor by trade] had taken me elsewhere. The response and outreach its had has been truly touching and overwhelming. And to all those who were there that night that are just started to find this, as I see in comments here and there: Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for taking the time to settle in that space with me. You all brought such enjoyment to me when watching this back. And you guys, every night I went down there, made my stay in New York so fucking incredible. To all who've asked about my Instagram... I do not have one 😅. My brain is horrible with it. I am however, finally able to begin working with a close friend and superb musician. We're slowly, but surely, progressing on our first EP - self-produced out in Joshua Tree, where I'm currently residing. The band is called "OxHunt." And hopefully the social media presence for that will be a bit more "active" as it develops. And this channel will be where I share further info. We are also working on getting to another video. I had to rent equipment and labor for this video as this was never something I had intended on up-keeping, nor do I intend to monetize as ads ruin everything. As such, along with my desire for unique environments and extended experiences, the videos are a bit more spread out than I would like. Thank you for the patience! And for those asking about this lovely guitar. It is a LAG Tramontane. It was given to me by a dear friend, David Myton, whose beloved dog, Daisy, passed away days before I posted this and why there is a dedication at the outset of the video. Thank you to everyone for *slowing down* and taking the time to listen! I so appreciate you.

Beautiful set man, my favorite part was your decision to start "How to Disappear Completely" to the sound of the train leaving as it disappears - That was great

That he wasn't completely ignored, that some people stayed and listened, and cheered and applauded, and threw in some change-has brought me back some degree of hope, and reinforces the will to continue in this path of music. It's all about touching people and sharing one beautiful moment together. I don't think he cared much whether anyone listened or not, whether anyone threw him a bone or not; there's no ego bleeding or being displayed-he was just there in his special place, pouring his heart out for no one. I think that was part of the allure, and that people shared in those moments, made it more special. I'm taking notes, thank you for sharing your beautiful soul, Monsieur Dabu.

I am the woman vaping in the background.

when u were playing paranoid android and the dude at the pillar was just chilling there, that was like a straight up movie scene. beautiful set, and camera work/editing!!

This setting and the cinematography + editing feels like a scene from a movie.

I expected the usual covers, but Reckoner/ Paranoid Android ???? Seriously this is amazing

00:56 - Ill Wind 05:16 - Bodysnatchers 09:30 - There There. 13:30 - Present Tense 18:45 - Nude 22:43 - Reckoner 27:42 - Paranoid Android 33:00 - Free in the Knowledge 36:45 - Bulletproof 40:23 - Jigsaw Falling into Place 44:18 - Weird Fishes 49:40 - How to Disappear Completely

All Radiohead gatekeepers united, our gates are fully open for this gentleman for his covers. Well done sir.

I love to see the look of people and how their daily lives mix with the melancholy of these beatiful covers

Radiohead is for me the greatest and most difficult band to cover. To do that acoustically and solo takes insane talent, and your voice is perfection and you playing is simply perfect. I can tell you have studied and obsessed over Thom for a long time, from the timely groove of your head, intimate mic position and that awkward shimmy of his body.

How to disappear completely wraps up this experience so beautifully. Especially in the city with almost everyone plugged into a screen with headphones.

Wow... Nude is my favorite Radiohead song and it was beautifully done here. Pretty amazing all around.

I was there (on the other side otherwise would've given a few dollars) and I heard you play Reckoner - I was impressed with your voice. Love

There's so many... and I mean MANY small, subtle coincidences such as the train leaving when he sings the "lonely" verse of There, There, or the train arriving just as he finished paranoid android.. etc etc. Life is art and energy, and this artist was manifesting energy beautifully.

Just a mic a guitar and hundreds hours of playing on its own in his bedroom I imagine to perform a set like that who makes a metro train station sounds like a little heaven on Earth. ❤👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✨

this was easily one of if not the most meaningful hour spent on RU-vid in my life. damn, the performance, the visuals, the location, the tracklist. i gotta point out Nude, as it for one is the least expected track to be translated to an acoustic performance - it’s a gem, super solid execution. besides that - probs for Jigsaw Falling Into Place, Present Tense, Weird Fishes, Paranoid Android, Reckoner. the final one - How to Disappear Completely - is a heart wrecking performance. overall the songs chosen are far from the easiest from Radiohead’s catalog to nail, and yet all nailed close to perfection. my man, you’ve got balls _(and skills to complement those obviously lol)_ . from the bottom of my heart, thank you for sharing this solid work of both visual and musical art.

I’ve stumbled on this video twice now . I wept both times from the humanity , humbleness, everydayness of it ? Thank you Navzad

this doesn’t feel real it’s that good

46:40 best part of the entire cover

By the end of the final Song I was in tears. Hearing these songs that played such different roles in my life being brought to life in a new but faithful way was something nearly therapeutic. Thank you so very much for this.

For fucks sake this is too good. I’d miss the train for an hour to watch this. Post more!!!

What a gem, came for one song and ended up watching the whole thing.

I could listen to your version of ‘Reckoner’ for hours man, absolutely immaculate.

Well that stopped me in my tracks for a full 55 minutes. Man you really delivered a beautiful selection of so the of the most difficult songs to cover in the first place - but just with an acoustic guitar and no effects you did them beautifully. Thankyou for doing and sharing this.

Acoustic guitar is a very unforgiving instrument and you nailed it - well done!

this is like if Jeff Buckley singing Radiohead songs. Amazing stuff man. Never stop.

That's one of the most incredible sustained performances I've ever seen. The finale of how to disappear was haunting and perfect.

Paranoid Android was amazing, clearly that is one of the songs you have the most practice on. I also got hooked onto Radiohead by that song. I was in a different tab when Bulletproof started and I actually thought it was Thom Yorke and forgot I was listening to a cover. Mad respect, thanks for helping share the beautiful music of Radiohead which is still underrated.

I like the girl reactions since 5:48, very cinematic hehe. Nice songs singed and played :). I am planing to play at the street when I move up, so this is inspiration for me, thanks

We are all accidents waiting to happen. This performance is amazing. I find it a bit hard to deal with. Where are we? Thank you universe for putting a band together that unites a whole bunch of confused people. Navzad, you inspire me. I am a musician too, on the opposite side of this crazy planet. I wish you luck.

man i remember this having like 50k views a thinking to myself how much of an unapreciated cover this was, now i came back it has 5 times the views it had and still deserves more

Holy crow! I've never seen a decent artist do Radiohead covers until now. Goosebumps galore!

Dude I would’ve stayed for the whole set, this is incredible. What talent

takes huge balls to sing in front of people and these are not easy songs for some of them

This has a been a soundtrack for my life recently. Thank you for that!

Hi Navzad, I have been listening to Radiohead for over 20 years, and I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone cover their work so well, or get so close to Thom’s vocals. I’m really impressed, and really enjoyed your set. I hope you keep making content and sharing your skills. This was excellent, well done, and keep it up. Much love from Australia!!

Your performance of Reckoner was absolutely impeccable. Your voice and stamina are out of this world!!

As a big Radiohead fan.. this is amazing man!

Rhythm, vocal range so smooth, clean playing (Radiohead had 3 guitarists). Man, this video makes me jealous!! Seriously impressive chops. Hope you keep tapping the rich vein of Radiohead for years and years! Great song choices too!

Songs of Jeff Buckley covered by you would be incredible.

Radiohead being my favourite band I figured I’d check this out… 1 hour and a solid dozen tears later I’m struggling to find the right words to compliment the performer. Whole thing was amazing, the location, song selection, camera angles, the guitar tone, and that VOICE! Wow! Nude and Free In The Knowledge especially got me ❤✊

The train arrival at the end of Paranoid Android was gold. Great set, beautifully captured and produced. I wish you well.

How to disappear completely gave me shivers, its the most beautiful cover of this song I’ve heard

Playing your heart out to a unnoticing uncaring passers by is the most perfect way to play these songs. But I enjoyed the heck out of this, thank you. Bookmarking.

So symbolic......watching trains arriving and leaving, people crossing, some stay for moment some dont...... how pitty we see greatness touching our lives and just slowly walk by. Great gig man👌

What a setlist. Mastered some of the greatest Radiohead/Smile songs in this performance.

It seems so fitting of you to play so many songs from the "pay what you want" album.

This is phenomenal. Its not just a series of covers from a beautiful band, but this video is a work of art. Like other commentators have said, if I had crossed you performing in the station, i dont think i wouldve caught my train. 😊

Hey, you might not see this but what you did with "There There" was pretty damn interesting. Totaly made it your own, which is pretty hard to do for Radiohead. I always liked the deep brooding aspect of "There there" like I can feel my soul getting dragged away into a deep dark forest on a cloudy moonlit night. You made it chipper though. Your version makes it like it's daytime in the desert and you're just getting by until the next town rolls up to your feet. Very cool.

Wow - beautiful. As a guitar player and lover of Radiohead, these songs are not easy to play - much less sing so beautifully. Unbelievable performance, fantastic and courageous set list.

Amazing. I have seen Radiohead 5 times and you have imitated their music and style perfectly. Excellent!

thom yorke himself would be insanely impressed by this

Your voice on Reckoner is sublime...

This is truly sensational. There aren’t many who can cover Radiohead without sounding like awful musical cliches - especially acoustically. The paranoid android cover was incredible - how you managed to arrange that and made it sound like an entire band playing is just beyond words. Great work !

thank for for not just playing the popular songs 🙏🏽 i love ill wind

Outstanding... the best cover of weird fishes mixed I've seen and just shows how people admire talented people no matter where they see!

I like how the screeching train at 32:30 kinda does the part of Johnny's solo to close the song

Wonderful. I'm a Radiohead junkie and musician to boot who finds their work impressively complicated and nuanced. Great work. You've got it.

This needs to be heard much more

Just amazing! I can't imagine how difficult it can be to do a cover of one of the greatest and most creative bands of all time.

Holy snapples that Ill Wind cover was unreal.

Wow, just wow. Your video popped up in my feed, and has just blown me away. As a Radiohead fan of over 25 years (the greatest band of all time to me), I don't usually like covers of their songs, but yours are incredible. I think I would have stood and listened to your entire set had I been there (I'm in England, so it's a bit far for me to travel to see you!). Absolutely fantastic. All the best to you.

@32:30 omg.. the moment how paranoid android ends with the skate boarder and trains coming in.. its art. this could be a music video.

I love it so much ! We want more ❤

I don’t understand how this only has 300 views. This is awesome Navzad, keep up the great work.

2 minutes in, and I'm hooked. This is beautiful. Guess I'm gonna be late to wherever I was going... would love to hear your take on True Love Waits.

This is utterly sublime. I think I'll be listening to these covers for a long long time. Thank you Navzad.

One of the best thing that RU-vid has present me

Your paranoid android cover was actually insane thank you for the video

your paranoid android is insanely good, and the silhouette of that older man in the foreground is wonderful. (27:42)

Absolutely amazing thanks sm for this

Just awesome! What a great set!

Also, so intimate, everything happening right there, while he performs. People looking, people living. Some smiling, some just pass by. I love the editing, the sound, and mainly how Nav enjoys it. It needs more clapping though. All the living things.

As a huuuuuge fan of Radiohead. I am truly floored by this performance. What a beautiful set. New fan for sure! ❤

This is so well made. I love your covers and cobined with the liminal space of the subway and random strangers passing and everything makes for such an amazing and surreal experience

I've seen this video so many times and each time I find something new to love about it the editing, camera quality, small interactions with others, the shots of the trains, and of course the amazing performance. I'm glad you were able to capture this and not let it just be seen one time in a subway. I never thought hearing covers would be inspiring like this is.

Beautiful atmosphere, this people around you, this life and love, your music, its wonderful. Hello from Ukraine

I just want to thank you for the incredible setlist. It's a wonderful performance and recording. Btw the man on 30:52 made me smiling, he really got the vibe

Really well done! The subtle nuances in your versions made me feel like I was hearing these songs for the first time.

Maaannn… What a blast! Absolutely amazing set! Thank you for sharing. 👏👏👏

You got the pipes for Jeff Buckley songs, as the hashtag suggests - looking forward to seeing a set of his songs!

you, your voice, guitar skill and radiohead song, 10/10.

What a great job on Reckoner. Beautiful.

Tremendous. Thank you for uploading this.
