It's interesting how you describe your experience with the song. For me it always sounded chill and dancing like. I like this live version but definitely I prefer the album version.
Hearing this low tech version has helped me realize something about this song -- the bass line is a sped up version almost note-for-note of the theme from NIN's "The Downward Spiral".
I imagine this is closer to how the song sounded when it was first written, and it's testament to Radiohead's genius they can switch it up like that. Both versions have their own unique energy which makes them interesting for different reasons.
I've seen this video so many times that I can recreate it without seeing it in my mind, how thom Yorke removes the sweat of his brow and dry it in his shirt. I love Jim
I feel like the live version of Burn the Witch will evolve the same way this song did live, judging the 2011 version. Killer arrangements on the both of them, but the 2011 version is much more true to the studio cut, which I like the best, and I'm hoping for them to nail the atmosphere of Burn the Witch as well in the future. Let's wait for a couple of years, hoping something will come.
[Verse 1] After years of waiting nothing came As your life flashed before your eyes, you realize [Chorus] I'm a reasonable man Get off, get off, get off my case I'm a reasonable man Get off my case, get off my case [Verse 2] After years of waiting After years of waiting nothing came And you realize you're looking in, looking in the wrong place [Chorus] I'm a reasonable man Get off my case, get off my case I'm a reasonable man Get off my case, get off my case, get off my case I'm a reasonable man Get off my case, get off my case, get off my case [Bridge] After years of waiting [Chorus] I'm a reasonable man Get off my case, get off my case, get off my case I'm a reasonable man Get off my case, get off my case, get off my case I'm a reasonable man Get off my case, get off my case, get off my case I'm a reasonable man Get off my case, get off my case, get off my case
i saw them in 2001 twice and i like this version the best...the fuzz bass is what makes it and its just not there on the studio release....everything else is there if you listen close to the studio version
I love everything about this version, EXCEPT that the full substitution of the synth/synth bass with Colin's fuzz bass takes out a bit too much of the depth, so the song lacks 'bottom'. My ideal version would be this, only with Jonny/Thom accompanying Colin's bass with the fat, thick, smooth tonea of the descending synth
This version is...... interesting? I don't know. It feels like the Amnesiac version of Morning Bell. It's just too.... sudden and in-your-face. It just feels... wrong.
No no no, it was a a joke. He's actually my best friend like in real life, so when I was watching this I saw his comment an thought I'd mess with him. I think at this point it goes without saying I didn't mean that.
