Radiohead plays Neil Young

Someone put Radiohead's awesome version of Neil Young's "On The Beach" on Youtube. Well, actually it sounds just like Neil's version, but that one's awesome too, and so is this. The clip is not quite complete so you'll have to find the full version on a file sharing service. It's well worth it, this is one of the most brilliant Radiohead rarities.



The world is turnin', I hope it don't turn away,
The world is turnin', I hope it don't turn away.
All my pictures are fallin' from the wall where I placed them yesterday.

I head for the sticks with my bus and friends,
I follow the road, though I don't know where it ends.
Get out of town, get out of town, think I'll get out of town.
'Cause the world is turnin', I don't want to see it turn away.

I have previously posted the clip of him playing the actual song, but here it is again:
