Radiohead Performs Ceremony - Joy Division/New Order Cover Live in Oxford
In September 2007, Radiohead found themselves in the throes of post-release momentum following their critically acclaimed sixth studio album, "Hail to the Thief," which had dropped in 2003. At this point, the band was actively exploring new creative directions, as evidenced by their innovative approach to releases that followed, including the groundbreaking "In Rainbows" in 2008. During the live recording of their rendition of "Ceremony," originally by Joy Division, at their Oxford studio, Radiohead was engaged in both reflecting on their influences and pushing musical boundaries. This cover not only illustrates their deep roots in the post-punk era but also showcases their willingness to reinterpret iconic music. It's fascinating to see a band continually evolving, isn't it?
