Radiohead cover 'Ceremony'

Never knew Radiohead were New Order/Joy Division fans.

Not a clue. Its done so professionally and with a lot of respect. AND they are drunk. I would hazard a guess that they used to play it as kids, before they wrote Creep etc. Great thing about them is, they are not owned by anybody, and have a claim to be the biggest band in the world, Let them have fun IMHO, and cut them down when they do something wrong. This is deffo not wrong at all.

For fun cause it's a really good song and they liked it. They did a whole bunch of covers of songs they liked.

Thank you very much for the link:)

Yup they have been influenced by them. I once read that one of Colin Greenwood's influences has be JD.

I disagree actually, NO haven't shown Ceremony this amount of respect live since the very early performances in 1980-82. I think Radiohead here keep it really tight and tense, which is how it's meant to be played.

not bad....heads up for coverin it tho..

f*cking hate radiohead

House Of Cards off the new one is the only track off it that's gettin repeated play so far

In Rainbows has been a revelation... Suppose it's how I'd always hoped they sound...

Snorri xxx

Others here - the Bjork one is ok

Did they do Decades at one of their gigs once? sure i read it somewhere

Not bad, but it's a bit too close.

Isn't that they like the song and enjoy playing it enough? It's not like they're releasing it or selling it, they're not necessarily doing it for other people.

i really like it. and i like radiohead's music. i'm really sorry to hear that a lot of sentiments are the other way on this board.

I'm with you on this, but since they're not releasing it and just want to play it I guess, then why not.

Really?! Pity he couldn't have picked a better one! I enjoyed it at the time, and it's a good recording, but you can hear the band's frustration with the crowd grow during the show.

Why?
