Radiohead

In this live performance from February 28, 1995, at Restaurang Två Plan in Stockholm, Radiohead delivers a haunting rendition of "Black Star," a track from their critically acclaimed album "The Bends." Released just a few months earlier, in March 1995, "The Bends" marked a turning point in the band’s career, showcasing their evolution from the grunge-inspired sound of their debut album, "Pablo Honey." This era was a time of significant growth for Radiohead, as they began to dive deeper into more experimental textures and emotional depth. Interestingly, this live performance also captures a pivotal moment for the band, as they were on the cusp of achieving international fame. The raw intensity of their live shows during this period revealed their distinctive sound, setting the stage for the even more ambitious work they would produce in the years to come.
