Track 2 off the album Radiodread (2006, Radiohead cover).

Radiohead – Paranoid Android (live in Glastonbury, 2003). This very intense performance will knock you off your feet. It is hypnotizing, exhilirating, overwhelming… Also don’t miss the version of Paranoid Android live in Belfort: www.youtube.com

Full uncensored version of the first single from “OK COMPUTER” (1997). Director: Magnus Carlsson Swedish creator of the animated series Robin (of which the band were fans) was commissioned to make a music video. This version can be found on Radiohead’s DVD “7 Television Commercials”. The name was derived from Marvin, a manically depressed robot, in Douglas Adam’s “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”. Despite its length of over six minutes, making it the longest released Radiohead song, it was the first single from that album in 1997. The song’s release marked the start of Radiohead’s reputation as art rock innovators, and the album subsequently received huge acclaim. Although the single did not receive much radio play due to its length, MTV immediately put the video in high rotation. However, the version most often shown on television was edited. Thom Yorke was not happy about this: “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 Boris Yeltsin cuts off his own arms and legs.”

Be sure to click “watch in HD”! Live at Montreux Jazz Festival 2003.
