Radiohead

On February 27, 1995, Radiohead performed "High and Dry" during their appearance on the 2 Meter Sessions in Amsterdam. At this point in their career, the band had just released their second studio album, "The Bends," in March 1995, which was pivotal in establishing their sound and identity. "The Bends" marked a significant evolution from their debut album "Pablo Honey," showing greater musical depth and emotional intensity. The performance of "High and Dry" during this session showcased the band’s growing confidence and the acoustic arrangement highlighted Thom Yorke’s expressive vocal style. This period was crucial for Radiohead, as they began to gain more recognition in the music industry, setting the stage for their later experimentation and innovation in albums like "OK Computer." The 2 Meter Sessions were known for capturing raw, intimate moments, further illustrating Radiohead's artistry during this transformative time.
