Venue: Bill Graham Civic Auditorium Location: San Francisco, California, United States Date: April 2, 1998

On April 2, 1998, Radiohead performed at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco, a pivotal time just as they were solidifying their reputation as experimental rock pioneers. This show came shortly after the release of their acclaimed album 'OK Computer,' which dropped in 1997, a record that both defined the band's sound and resonated deeply with themes of alienation and technology. During this live performance, fans were treated to tracks like 'Karma Police' and 'Airbag,' underscoring the band's transition from their earlier Britpop influences to a more layered and cerebral approach. Notably, ‘OK Computer’ would later become a landmark album in rock music history, influencing countless bands and generating a lasting legacy. This live recording captures Radiohead at a moment of artistic evolution, showcasing their willingness to push boundaries in both studio and live settings.
