Radiohead - Live at Bonnaroo (June 2006) 

"We did this festival called Bonnaroo. We did 2.5 hours. And there’s 80,000 people, admittedly they’ve been smoking the sticky green all day- probably wouldn’t go anywhere anyway. It was just amazing. We played loads of new stuff. We did whole sections of quiet piano songs and it sounds like the most grotesque, self-indulgent nonsense, but it probably is my favourite gig for years and years and years. It was a really mellow evening. When we played Bonnaroo we got such a nice vibe, a genuine good feeling from the first beat. Things like Bonnaroo give you the hope that you can do it the other way. I met Phish-- most of their people are involved in Bonnaroo. And it's great. I dream to take some of that vibe and take it around the country..." -Thom Yorke

Lady Gaga once mentioned in an interview she was in the middle of this crowd, way before she got famous. As recently as 2019 she still said this was the best concert she saw in her whole life. How amazing is it that it's been 16 years now and I can see it in good quality for free, in the comfort of my own bedroom?

Jonny playing guitar and synth at the same time, using the guitar’s headstock to hit the keys at 1:09:08... different class.

80k completely silent during Exit Music. That’s pretty damn incredible.

It was a little surreal hearing Thom say, "This is a new song." Meanwhile, in the future, we're all like, "ah man, if only you knew how much these songs are going to be loved."

It's funny to hear zero reaction to the In Rainbows songs, In a year they're going to be crazy for those songs.

I was fortunate enough to be there - and fortunate enough to walk over and calmly pick up the set list that was laying crumpled on the ground after the show. It's now framed and hanging in my office. What a show; what a night!

Just imagine listening to Weird Fishes for the first time in that context. Can't get enough chills from this video

Trivia: This was actually Radiohead's longest concert to date, with 28 songs. The 2006 tour lasted for two months and it's one of two tours in which they were NOT backing an album - instead they were testing songs for their following one, In Rainbows, which came out the following year. In this gig they played six songs that ended up in the album: 15 Step, Bodysnatchers, Nude, Weird Fishes/Arpeggi, House of Cards and Videotape. It's pretty noticeable how different they sound here, specially Videotape (with less electronics, more guitar and a shifting beat). In other gigs of this tour they also debuted songs such as Open Pick (which was later renamed Jigsaw Falling Into Place) and b-sides Down Is The New Up, 4 Minute Warning and Bangers + Mash, which were released in In Rainbows (Disk 2). The only other time they did something similar was in 2002, in which they did a 12-date tour of Portugal and Spain and tested many songs that would end up in Hail To The Thief (2003). They are also among the longest gigs they ever did (the first Salamanca date became a famous bootleg due to audience requests and a 27-song setlist).

This is the day I met the love of my life. We fell in love during this concert, dancing and making eyes at each other, holding hands for the first time during "Fake Plastic Trees" so grateful for this release THANK YOU!

The ending of this Videotape version (36:30) is probably one of the best moments I've ever heard in music.

Radiohead, the greatest band of all time

That song, Videotape, musically sounds so upbeat. Can't wait to dance like crazy when it comes out!

This era was so cool! Parlaphone contract over. New album looming but uncertain. New songs debuting at random gigs. All leading up to what became In Rainbows and the whole pay what you want movement.

2:16:45 Jonny in panic "Holy shit how do i turn this off?"

I was 19 years old and I was there. My first Radiohead show. A dream come true, beautiful. This year Ill be 35 and I still haven't felt anything remotely close to the excitement, and love I felt that day in June 2006

01:09:05 - Jonny playing the keys with his guitar truly is a sight to behold :O

Watching Thom dancing like a crazy person is one of the few things keeping me sane during these strange times

The crowd roars around @14:10 when Thom says they are going to play some new stuff, and it leaves him speechless for a few seconds then he says "this is mental"..... There is a phish show from 20O+ years back that has a similar vibe, Trey says something like "I'll play new stuff all night!" What an amazing experience it must be to have such a huge crowd want to hear something NEW you just finished, knowing they can't sing along. So much respect for the music. Great audience!

I would pay $1000 right now to see radiohead play this set. PLEASE GUYS MAKE IT HAPPEN.

Imagine standing there and hearing Nude for the first time. Oh my god.

11:54 Thom Yorke stands on stage, taking in the sounds of the night, then just says "this is mental" and proceeds to blast possibly the most epic rendition of Weird Fishes they've ever done, out into the ether

Colin being so excited to be in Radiohead never fails to amuse me

Johnny Greenwood is a rare talent. He always impresses me. Like, I feel he's one of the best guitarists to emerge from the early nineties, yet he ventures so wildly outside of that box, while maintaining his role in the band sonically.

Had tickets for this and I shit you not the week before was diagnosed with testicular cancer. I had downloaded my friends bootleg copy of this for years. Long story short I’m 14 years in remission but I NEVER thought I’d ever get to see this

I feel like the crowd doesn't even realize what their hearing when videotape comes on. It's just too good

The part in No Surprises where Thom sings “bring down the government, they don’t speak for us” and everyone starts screaming and cheering gives me chills.

That version of Videotape felt like a gradual explosion of immense beauty. What started out as a melancholic hum swelled up into an urgent cry of both desperation and acceptance. The atmosphere it creates is just unreal. I feel so changed.

Making my way through an absolute maze of people to the bathrooms and having to find my way back to my group while tripping balls with “National Anthem” playing as my sound track was some heavy shit mannn

This is my favorite recording of Kid A (at 23:40) that I've found. It's one of the best single song recordings of any of their songs. The interwoven timings, that haunting poem, the feeling. It's all so perfect. This whole show is brilliant.

1:07:08 - Jonny looks at Thom with such reverence.

I was in this crowd, tripping on mushrooms for the first time in my life. One of the most incredible things I've ever experienced. Its crazy to hear years later that this concert was 2.5 hours long, at the time it felt like they played for maybe 20 minutes.

Jonny Greenwood summons things that we cannot understand, and it's beautiful.

It was an amazing show/festival. Beck, Andrew Bird, Death Cab, Ben Folds, Oysterhead, Tom Petty.. but Radiohead was the absolute stand out. I still remember waiting around 10am to rush the field where the stage was set up. About 300 people were let loose and we all ran as fast as we could to be as close to the stage as possible.. I ran barefoot to the front row and sat for about 10 hours with 2 bottles of water with less than 2 square feet of personal space. When Beck and his band came on stage, time flew by. When Radiohead entered, it was like a dream.

Best Radiohead show of all time...I agree with Thom. Was there...taped it...been reliving it for 16 years via the live audio. This video made me shit my pants. So happy right now!

As this show ended and the Everything loop finally faded out, I couldn't move. I stood there crying my eyes out for a solid 10 minutes as people wandered off kicking trash and whatnot around on the ground. Eventually a random guy walking by put his arms around me and asked if I was ok. "Yeah, I'm really fucking ok right now man." was all I could respond. He goes, "I'm not a big Radiohead fan but I feel like we just saw something special." "I'm pretty sure we just saw the greatest concert of our lives." was my response, and I have yet to be proven wrong.

GODLY VIDEOTAPE INBOUND

This version of Videotape is amazing

I spend the whole quarentine watching Radiohead concerts

Ed's vocals!!! Weird fishes remain one of my absolute favorite Radiohead songs

Someone press this on vinyl.

This show may go down as one of their best ever.

So bummed I never experienced this incredible band live. Still holding out hope for the future. I would give up so much to see a set like this. Money, organs, pride, dignity, whatever

Holy shit that transition from the national anthem to climbing up the walls is legendary.

This is one of the best setlists ever

So, how many songs are you going to play? - Radiohead: YES!

all the songs from In Rainbows sound like they matured in oak barrels

They could honestly open with There, There everytime, it never gets old

I love Jonny's commitment to create weird sounds

I was there! Recorded the whole thing on my minidisc recorder (Sony MZ-B10) at the front of the stage. During the last part of Paranoid Android I accidentally hit a dude in the face while dancing. We both shook it off in less than 1sec and kept dancing. Incredible show, will never forget.

This concert has the greatest version of "Videotape" ever committed to any recording medium.

58:09 Johnny: What’s this button do- oh shit I gotta play

The songs performed at the following time codes would not be released for another 16 months or so, on the album "In Rainbows": 9:41 15 Step 14:31 Weird Fishes/Arpeggi 32:46 Videotape 1:01:25 Nude 1:44:42 Bodysnatchers 2:04:47 House of Cards

I was there. About 10 rows back and in front of Ed and Thom. Absolutely fucking legendary show.

I was there. I went to this, my first Bonnaroo, mainly because Radiohead was headlining but the weekend also featured My Morning Jacket, Death Cab for Cutie, Tom Petty, Sonic Youth, Bela Fleck & the Flecktones, Oysterhead, Beck, Cypress Hill, Steel Pulse, Disco Biscuits, Elvis Costello, Rusted Root, Steve Earl ... I mean, just absolutely loaded to the gills. But going in, I remember being surprised at how few people seemed to know what they were *in for* with Radiohead. I had seen them a handful of times, which was a lot for those of us in the states at the time and just told everyone around me to "prepare yourselves." Suffice it to say, they owned the weekend... a weekend filled with legendary, fantastic performers. It is considered arguably the best of all Bonnaroo performances, in fact. They went back a few years later and tried to replicate it, but nothing could top this, their first Bonnaroo performance. I will always be able to say I was there and witnessed the great glowstick war during a rendition of then unreleased House of Cards. Mind blowing.

This has to be the best vesion of Climbing Up The Walls. The transition from National Anthem? The radio throughout? The electronic screeches at the end? Unreal performance

This Is gonna be a glorious day

Having seen over 2,000 shows, this set remains in my top three all time performances. I'll always remember the thousands of tiny glow sticks flying through the air while hearing House of Cards for the first time (the show was pre-In Rainbows). I immediately fell in love with that song, and anytime I hear it, I'm transported back to that magical moment where everything was just perfect.

Today i got out of the hospital.. my heart stopped at 2 times and my breathing.. i dont have much more time and if i had one last living wish would be to see them. That's why Videotape and " How to disappear completely " hits harder.. at least i got to see them here. I'm forever grateful for Radiohead , Thom/ jonny... you've helped me thru my darkest times and now as i know i wont be here long..

I love the way ed says every time during bodysnatchers. This concert is one of my favourite ed vocal performances

Waiting for that awesome version of Videotape

This is the greatest concert I've ever experienced in my entire life. I can watch this and it puts me right back there with the thousands of other souls. Radiohead blew my mind away that night. It's amazing how a group of 5 can create such art that it rocks you to your emotional core. I will never forget that night. I love you guys.

One of the best shows of my life! I’ve never seen a more respectfully quiet crowd before or since. We were all just hanging on every note… no one was chatting during the songs at all; you could hear a pin drop during the piano jam 💯💯

1:46:09 Ed's smile when he sees Thom and jonny vibing is so damn wholesome lol

Thank God! I hope and soon load AMSP from the basement ... In waiting, here is the setlist: 00:00:20 There There 00:05:50 2+2 =5 00:09:35 15 Step 00:14:30 Weird Fishes/Arpeggi 00:18:56 Exit Music (for a Film) 00:23:40 Kid A 00:27:28 Dollars and Cents 00:32:45 Videotape 00:37:44 No Surprises 00:41:59 Paranoid Android 00:48:15 The Gloaming 00:52:00 The National Anthem 00:56:31 Climbing Up The Walls 01:01:23 Nude 01:06:18 Street Spirit (Fade Out) 01:11:05 The Bends 01:15:34 Myxomatosis 01:19:36 How To Disappear Completely 01:27:35 You and Whose Army? 01:31:03 Pyramid Song 01:35:57 Like Spinning Plates 01:39:22 Fake Plastic Trees 01:44:41 Bodysnatchers 01:49:50 Lucky 01:54:09 Idioteque 01:58:29 Karma Police ("hey, hey, it's not over!") 01:59:12 Karma Police 02:04:47 House of Cards 02:10:38 Everything in Its Right Place 02:14:37 Thom playing with the audience and Jonny with the Kaoss pad

These concerts are helping me a lot during this quarantine. Gracias.

I was an obsessive user of a Radiohead fan forum back then (Treefingers represent!) and this show was one of the holy grails for people looking for forensic evidence of "LP7". Remember hearing Bodysnatchers in particular and being SO HYPED for what would be coming in the future. And I can still remember listening to In Rainbows on release day and being absolutely blown away. Thanks for this upload and taking me back to a time when I had my whole future ahead of me!

I am not sure what life would be like if this didn’t exist

One of the greatest performances I’ve ever seen - I can’t believe they’re going to release this footage! It’s like diving back into my 18 yr old brain from 2006. Wow 😳

This needs to be released as a vinyl boxset ASAP!

Imagine experiencing this version of "Videotape" for the very first time, just completely high or drunk. Fuck, I missed the greatest concert ever.

My God, what a set list. There isn't much I wouldn't give to have experienced this. Incredible

In June 2006, I had just graduated high school and was preparing to move to a bigger city, 250 km away from home, for college. I would listen to Radiohead all day everyday. Your music helped me through a failure (what seemed the end of the world -- failing to get in a acting school), through a trauma, but also through convoluted love stories, as it happens with adolescent love, and dreams of a bigger, brighter and kinder world. Now I'm 33 and I still listen to your music, it still heals and holds me. I managed pretty fine, atfer all. Thank you for everything.

I was crying my eyes out, and this just makes me feel at peace. No words to describe it, Radiohead soothes my soul.

Love the shot of 1:59:40 of Thom reflecting off of the piano Johnny is playing.

These concerts being put out there for all the people like myself that have a hole in their beings from having never seen Radiohead live are the beat thing ever. Today, which would have otherwise been unremarkable, isolated at home, turned out to be beyond words amazing. Thank you!

Is that EOB's music band?

Even though Nirvana and all the other Seattle "Grunge" bands (and other contemporary alternative acts not from Seattle) of the '90s still get so much attention and credit for their contributions to the music and pop-culture of that era, to me, Radiohead is the most important band to emerge during the '90s -- no other band from the '90s has evolved as much as they have and has influenced the shape and direction of music to come after them. While they do have a signature sound, that sound isn't one-dimensional like for so many artists and bands but is multi-dimensional. Every time you think you've got Thom and co. figured out, they throw a curveball at you to keep you on your music-listening toes. No two consecutive albums sound exactly alike, and the same goes for songs on specific albums even while they may delve into the same, or similar, subject-matter -- they're always striving to explore new territory, songcraft-wise, and never settle into a pattern predictable to their audience and music critics. Their albums always rate at least 4-stars in my book with several rating 5-stars -- not something many other artists/bands that I like achieve on even one of their albums.

I was here. this show followed Beck, and Radiohead and beck were two of my absolute favorites I had never seen. I'm not exaggerating, this show was one of the BEST experiences of my LIFE! I'm 44. it was a spiritual orgy for me. I would do anything to go back and be dancing my ass off in that audience again. I was at the first ten bonnaroos, meant so much to me

Definitely one of the best performances I've ever heard. Thom's voice is one of the most beautiful things ever.

The audio on this is exceptional, I really wish they could release this on bandcamp for a charitable cause like the Minidisc leak

Today has been the most perfect day I've ever had

So rare that I watch one of these legendary live shows from a legendary band on youtube and get to say I was there. But I was there, and man it was every bit as special as it seems and then some. What a wonderful night.

You can tell how psyched they are to be playing new material. I bet the decision to tour the In Rainbows material is the key to what made it such a great album...

Best Kid A live version. Period.

I cried all the way through Fake Plastic Trees. It's powerful yet innocent, angry yet delicate, happy yet heart-wrenching. Pure awesomeness.

I drove 15 hours to be at this festival to see Radiohead and it was an experience that has stayed with me. Absolutely unforgettable.

Radiohead at their absolute best. Everything is firing on all cylinders.

If I could only have one band's music to listen to for the rest of my life it'd be without a doubt Radiohead. Endlessly mesmerizing. Thanks for entertaining us with these concerts while we stay at home. Much respect. 🙏

Not only Videotape, what a fantastic version of Myxomatosis! Edit: what a fucking amazing show!!

I remember that night so vividly, particularly when they played 15 Step and Weird Fishes back to back. I had no idea what those songs were but I knew they were special.

2006 was a whole different world.

Thom turns up hardest on Myxomatosis and Ful Stop.

OMG! IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING! THANK YOU RADIOHEAD!

Man, I'll never get tired of seeing Thom go nuts in Idioteque

this version of ideoteque goes so unbelievably hard it should be illegal, the sheer amount of moves i am busting to it is ludicrous
