While watching Thom Yorke discuss his longtime obsession with Neil Young tonight (via a chat with the BBC from a few years back), I got to thinking about Radiohead's surprise cover of After the Gold Rush cut "Tell Me Why" at the Hollywood Bowl in 2008, as well as Yorke's multiple performances of the title track off that 1970 classic record, beginning with his 2002 Bridge School Benefit rendition mentioned in the Q&A. As it turns out, though, there are 3 more Young songs that Yorke has applied his similarly high-register vocals skills to with Radiohead [...]
Thom Yorke and Johnny Greenwood covered Neil Young's "Tell Me Why" at their Hollywood Bowl gig on Monday and thankfully an enterprising Radiohead fan was there to capture the tune. The duo had previously tried to play the opening track from After The Gold Rush the week before at their ...
There have been some great live videos circulating the net this week, most notably Radiohead's live cover of Neil Young's Tell Me Why at the Hollywood Bowl and My Morning Jacket performing Tyrone with Erykah Badu in Dallas. In case you missed them, enjoy! mp3: Radiohead - Tell Me Why (Neil Young Cover) Live At the Hollywood Bowl mp3: My Morning Jacket - Tyrone (Live In Dallas) ft.

Radiohead hizo un cover de Neil Young en su gira esta semana. Thom Yorke y Johnny Greenwood hicieron su versión de "Tell Me Why", una canción del disco After The Gold Rush que fue lanzado en el '70. El grupo había querido tocar la canción en Washington en el tour que hicieron por Estados Unidos pero Yorke se olvidó la letra y desistieron.

First there was a Portishead cover, now we have a Neil Young cover! Radiohead played this rather nice Young cover at their Hollywood Bowl appearance on the 25th of August in their world tour which has, sadly, long moved on from London . BONUS NEWS!!! As I was writing this, this nugget of news came up on the internets from Dead Air Space ... Hello! To celebrate the end of a brilliant tour, we're going to webcast the last show [...]
If it wasn't for the occasional "WOO" or declaration of love for Thom Yorke from the audience, this would be damn near perfect. Yorke's voice exquisitely suits this classic Neil Young song from Gold Rush , a tune that most would surely massacre in concert. Yorke and Jonny Greenwood attempted this for the first time at White River Amphitheatre in Auburn, WA last week but didn't quite make it through, so they decided to give a proper tribute at the Hollywood Bowl this past weekend.
Radiohead's Thom Yorke and Johnny Greenwood covered Neil Young's 'Tell Me Why' during their concert at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles this week on August 25th. The pair had reportedly tried to play the song in Washington the previous week, but Yorke forgot the words. Thanks Liam & sweetpete! Here's what Radiohead's Thom Yorke said about Neil Young in June 2006: "I saw Neil Young live a
All of you regular readers will remember my Neil Young review. Oh God, it was a great gig. I've seen many of the legends now at this stage: Dylan, Young, Springsteen, The Hold Steady, etc. But I've yet to see Radiohead live. What would be even better than seeing them live? Seeing them cover a Neil Young classic live! Thom Yorke and co. covered 'Tell Me Why' from seminal classic After The Goldrush on Monday, and it went down a treat at the Hollywood Bowl. Watch it in full, here:
Radiohead Cover Neil Young - Video - Stereogum Night 2...oh night 2. Amazing setlist but slightly less enjoyable since my seats weren't as good as the pit for night 1. Got to hear the above cover, some Eraser action, Fake Plastic Trees, Karma Police, and a lil True Love Waits intro to EIIRP. Excellent. Overall...Lucky from Night 1 was my favorite moment. Everything that I like: Music, UCLA, NBA, Lost, Los Angeles, whatever I like
Have you seen this yet? Sooo good. From their show last night @ the Hollywood Bowl:
About a week ago Thom and Johnny sidled up to the front of the Whiteriver Ampitheathre stage in Auburn, WA for just your typical "Faust Arp" duet. Except Thom forgot the words. After having an embarrassed laugh, he took the moment to shift into After The Gold Rush cut "Tell Me Why." Only they couldn't quite make it through that one, either. Eventually they got through the the originally intentioned In Rainbows lullaby and proceeded to blow everyone's minds through the rest of the concert probably, but sometime between then and last night, Yorke [...]
At their sold-out show at the Hollywood Bowl in L.A. last night, Radiohead pulled out a unique cover. No, it wasn't a live rendition of their Portishead cover-- instead, it ...
Last night Radiohead played the Hollywood Bowl, and as they have done before, they whipped out another Neil Young cover. This time from the "After the Gold Rush" record they did "Tell Me Why." You'll have to endure a screaming...
