RADIOHEAD performs 'Karma Police' live at Amnesty International Concert, Paris
In December 1998, Radiohead delivered a captivating performance of 'Karma Police' at the Amnesty International Concert held at the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy. This live recording came shortly after the release of their critically acclaimed album, 'OK Computer,' which had debuted in May that same year. 'OK Computer' not only marked a significant turning point in the band's career, propelling them into the limelight, but also solidified their reputation for intricate musicality and thought-provoking lyrics. The album was a staggeringly ambitious project, and the concert itself highlighted that new level of artistry. It was a time when Radiohead was really shaping the future of alternative rock, merging mainstream success with experimental sounds. Their performance captured the raw emotion of the era as they resonated with an audience deeply concerned about social issues, which aligned with the theme of the Amnesty event.
