Radiohead: My Iron Lung Live Performance at Rock Am Ring, Nurburgring

Venue: Rock Am Ring Rockpalast Location: Nurburgring, Germany Date: November 30, 2000

In late 2000, Radiohead was riding high on the waves of their groundbreaking album 'Kid A,' which had just dropped a couple of months earlier. This album marked a significant shift in their sound—moving away from the grunge-infused rock of their earlier work towards an experimental electronic sound that stunned many fans. The performance of 'My Iron Lung' at the Rock Am Ring in Germany on November 30, 2000, captures the band in a transformative phase, performing amidst both critical acclaim and polarizing reactions from their audience. Interestingly, 'Kid A' would go on to win a Grammy and solidify Radiohead's status as a pioneering force in music. While some were still contemplating the band's new direction, live performances like this showcased their ability to adapt and thrive creatively, making late 2000 a noteworthy moment in their rich career.
