Radiohead Videos

Not only do Radiohead produce the best music of their generation – they produce the best videos, documentaries and live gig footage of the last decade as well. Those Oxford swines want it all. They’ll want to be popes next. Having recently bought the ‘Live at the Astoria’ video I now feel I am in a position to judge all three, starting with the aforementioned ‘Live at the Astoria’. Live at the Astoria ---------------------------- Recorded in 1994, shortly before the release of The Bends, Radiohead’s only live-gig video release to date features the majority of debut album Pablo Honey as well as several from their ...  Read the complete review

For those of you who bought this video I pity you, as this documentary appeared twice on Channel 4's 4music segment, and so I just taped it off the TV and got it for free. But if you weren't aware or able to see it then, I guess it's still justified buying it - for the video's case.. Anyhow, 'Meeting People Is Easy' is a real gem for Radiohead fans as it gives us a little peak into the touring life (on the 'OK Computer' tour) of one of the UK's greatest and most popular bands of today. The most noticable thing about the documentary is the visual weird artiness to it. If you have the last two Radiohead albums, you'll be ...  Read the complete review

"The video of Paranoid Android has been censored by MTV. They took all nipples out of the cartoon, but they had no problem with the scene in which a man cuts off his own arms and legs." - Thom Yorke. A naked woman in a tree; an axe-welding politician; an angel flying a helicopter; and a game of ping-pong in heaven. All of that's just from the first film in this collection! Directed by Magnus Carlsson (creator of the animated series 'Robin'), the video for 'Paranoid Android' is produced just like an episode of that cartoon. We follow a couple of teenagers and their escapades in the city, while a disaffected UN politician drowns his ...  Read the complete review

These bruises just won't heal. Now, on the whole, I'm a major Radiohead fan, in fact "The Bends" has been given the title of all time favourite album on the bottom of many an opinion here. The mix of maudlin and depressing and upbeat and soothing is great to listen to and, when mixed with some startling and appealing visuals, you've got an absolute triumph. Videos I'm partial to from the radiohead stable: 1. Fade Out: ------------ Album: The Bends. If you don't know the song you've missed out on a treat here - the music is almost acoustic, fingerpicking and melodic with a weird, ...  Read the complete review

This video was recorded a short time before the Bends came out. It is the concert the video for "My Iron Lung" was filmed at - the song is actually the concert version with the vocals re-recorded. The concert is great - they play songs off the first and second album, and I haven't often heard some of the songs played live apart from on this video. The camera work is very good, and the sound quality is excellent. It is an altogether great concert, one you can watch again and again. It catches the experience of the gig really well. The best bit is when Thom does "Creep, there's a shot from about half way back, and it's ...  Read the complete review
