I must request my favorite Radiohead/Thom Yorke song of all time, though I'm not sure how rare it might be.
True Love Waits.
Anybody?

Wow, those videos are all amazing. Thanks so much to everyone for posting them. I really do love this band, however there is just one issue I'd like to address.
It seems that in all the most recent videos and bootlegs i've heard form the HTTT Tour, Thom has taken a moan/speak approach to practically all his vocal performances with a few exceptions. Personally, I find this totally unacceptable.
Thom Yorke has an amazingly beautiful voice, and it's one of the greatest aspects of Radiohead's first three albums. It's just heartbreaking and agrivating to watch this recent performance of The Bends, one of my favorite RH songs, only to listen to Thom completely butcher the song's wonderful melodies and his awesome album vocals for this track.
Maybe sombody knows why he choices to sing like this, because it's certainly not because it sounds good. If anything is shows from Thom a total lack of respect for the audience (RH's loyal fans), respect for the songs themselves, and respect for his own vocal talents.
I am desperately waiting to see Radiohead live this summer, I hope I do. But unless Thom abandons this lazy (because that's what it is, he demonstrates no effort at all to sing during these performances) vocal style on the tour, I will be soarly disappointed in him personally. It's a shame that the rest of the band is so damned good on all the recent concerts, because he's a drag to listen to.
