Radiohead

In May 1995, when Radiohead performed "The Bends" live on "Later... with Jools Holland," they were riding the wave of their critically acclaimed second album, "The Bends," which had been released just a couple of months prior, in March 1995. This performance marked a significant moment in their career, showcasing their evolution from the grunge-influenced sound of their debut album "Pablo Honey" to a more sophisticated and atmospheric style that would define their future work. "The Bends" received widespread praise for its emotional depth and intricate arrangements, solidifying the band's reputation as innovative musicians in the alternative rock scene. Notably, this live recording captures the raw energy and vibrancy of Radiohead's early work, setting the stage for their subsequent transformation into one of the most influential bands of the late 1990s and 2000s.
