Radiohead

In July 2003, when Radiohead performed "Unplugged in Paris" at Le Réservoir, they were navigating a pivotal phase of their career following the release of their sixth studio album, "Hail to the Thief," in June 2003. This album marked a return to a more guitar-centric sound after their experimentation with electronic music in the preceding years, showcased in "Kid A" and "Amnesiac."
