The National Anthem by Radiohead as performed on Saturday Night
Live on October 14, 2000
One of the rare times I've been blown away by a SNL performance.
The file I have was recorded of of some Japanese video site found
seven or eight pages deep in a Google search (reflecting how
dedicated SNL and NBC are to keeping these sorts of things hard to
find, only to present them highly edited and context-free in
self-congratulatory clip shows) and includes some glitches due to the
shoddy connection and general crappyness of the computer I was using
at the time. Still blows me away, largely in utilizing the house
band's horn section. Much better than the version released on the I
Might be Wrong live album.
