Radiohead - Creep Live on Late Night with Conan O'Brien
On September 14, 1993, Radiohead made a fascinating appearance on 'Late Night with Conan O'Brien,' marking not just their first American TV gig but also a pivotal moment in their early career. At this time, the band was fresh off the release of their debut album, 'Pablo Honey,' which featured the iconic track 'Creep.' Released earlier that year, 'Pablo Honey' showcased Radiohead's emerging sound and set the stage for what would become a long and influential career. Interestingly, 'Creep' was initially met with a lukewarm response, but its intimate lyrics and haunting melody soon turned it into an anthem of alienation, resonating with a wide audience. This live performance helped to elevate their profile in the U.S., intertwining their artistic journey with the cultural zeitgeist of the early '90s.
