Down by the River

In Radiohead's setlists it is a tease, tacked on to “Myxomatosis” in a Montreux encore in 2003.

1969

everybody knows this is nowhere

Neil Young wrote it in the same few days as “Cinnamon Girl” and “Cowgirl in the Sand”, and with Crazy Horse behind him it ran to nine minutes.

montreux

At the Auditorium Stravinski in Montreux on 5 July 2003, the setlist the archive keeps has “Myxomatosis” in the first encore followed by a tease of “Down by the River”. Radiohead played “Cinnamon Girl”, from the same Neil Young album, Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, in full in 2001.
