Radiohead

In June 2003, Radiohead was riding high on the wave of their critically acclaimed album 'Hail to the Thief,' which had been released just a month earlier. This album, their sixth studio project, marked a return to a more guitar-driven sound after experimenting with electronic elements in 'Kid A' and 'Amnesiac.' The live recording at the Beacon Theatre showcases their electrifying presence and inventive arrangements during this period of transition. Fans of the band often remember this era for its politically charged lyrics and sonic complexity, making it a significant point in their evolution. Interestingly, the setlist from this concert highlights standout tracks like "There There" and "2 + 2 = 5," reflecting their ongoing exploration of themes around resistance and societal issues, while also illustrating how Radiohead has always aimed to create an immersive concert experience.
