A l’époque où Thom était étudiant à l’Université d’Exeter, il jouait (entre autres) au sein d’ Headless Chicken, et au répertoire du groupe, on trouvait déjà High And Dry dont un enregistrement d’époque vient d’être ajouté sur youtube par un certain Shaun McCrindle :

[quote cite=”compte Shaun McCrindle sur Youtube”]An early performance of the song that was recorded by its author a few years later on Radiohead’s album, ‘The Bends’. Thom was playing with Exeter University band Headless Chickens during term-time, a band which included – among others – Simon Shackleton and John Matthias.
If anyone knows who the other guys were – the drummer, bass player and female vocalist, tag em in![/quote]
