Radiohead Covers "Tell Me Why"



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!

He did a good job. I've also heard them cover Cinnamon Girl.

Excellent and true to the original, except, of course, with Thom Yorke's own falsetto in place of Neil's. A fitting tribute by artists fitting to the spirit of the tune.

Well, it's a very good cover - note, however, that it takes two guitarists to cover Neil's one...

Not a great video.

Nice video, but I prefer the original ;-). That quote you use is not from Thom Yorke, but from the writer of the blog entry you link to; re-read the comments under the post, the author tries to correct you that he said it and not Thom Yorke!
