Radiohead Live Performance of Karma Police at Glastonbury Festival
In 2003, Radiohead was riding high after the release of their critically acclaimed album, "Hail to the Thief," which had dropped just a month earlier. This album marked a significant point in their career, showcasing their experimental sound that blended alternative rock with electronic influences, clearly setting the stage for their future artistic evolution. At Glastonbury that year, performing "Karma Police," a standout track from their prior album "OK Computer," the band captivated the audience with their haunting melodies and thought-provoking lyrics. This live recording captures not just the energy of the moment but also the band's commitment to pushing musical boundaries. Fun fact: the performance solidified Radiohead's reputation as a festival powerhouse, proving that their complex, layered music could resonate profoundly with large crowds.
