Yorke and Greenwood have always had this power to mesmerize me and obsess me, even if at first I'm not understanding their latest idea. I keep thinking I've heard it all and they can't do it again. I'm old, they're old, there's no more magic on stage, no more rabbits to pull out of the hat. And they go and do something like this, and show me how wrong I am. Yes we are all weary and every warning became a nightmare, and yet they weave the magic wand just once more and the rabbits just come out FLOODING from the hat.
@@mrleahcim95 in my opinion it is Free in the knowledge has the weakest vocal performance so far, and the chord progression is honestly basic I love pana vision, but it does not convey the otherworldly sensation Bending Hectic does, imo
Exactly! I’m 71 and when I bought Electric Ladyland/ The White Album I was completely blown away. Interestingly one other album that had the same effect was The Notorious Byrd Brothers. Mind blown.
It's much better live. The mix in the last 2 minutes of the studio version is purposely muddy but if anything perhaps contains less power and less of Jonny' layered guitar work than the live version. The string sounds are also present on the live version with Jonny using a pedal board synth.
I was thinking to myself: which Radiohead album this song would fit the most? In Rainbows? Moon-Shaped Pool? Nah… And then the author of the video nailed it - this is an Amnesiac song! Wow.
I think a lot of people don't truly appreciate what Jonny is doing here. Watch a few live versions and you'll appreciate it. He's bending the strings with his fingers as he plays to create these microtones, and the flawless ascending and descending... beautiful!
Ending is amazing. Vocals are phenomenal. Almost cocky in a way. Reminds me a bit of Muse for some reason. Anyway. Not one of their best songs. Now I'm waiting for the REAL single: Just Eyes and Mouth
