Radiohead

On May 18, 2006, during a highly anticipated live show at the Hammersmith Apollo in London, Radiohead performed 'Videotape,' a haunting track from their critically acclaimed album, 'Hail to the Thief.' Released in 2003, the album marked a pivotal moment for the band, flaunting their experimental sound while reflecting sociopolitical themes of the time. The live recording captures an intense performance that showcases the band's evolution, weaving together atmospheric soundscapes and introspective lyrics. Interestingly, this period was characterized by Radiohead's increasing embrace of technology, evidenced by their innovative approach to music distribution with the subsequent album, 'In Rainbows,' which would arrive just over a year later in 2007, reshaping industry norms. This live performance not only encapsulates their mastery but also hints at the revolutionary direction they were still heading towards.
