Radiohead
Bones performed by Radiohead live at Palais Omnisports Paris Bercy
By December 1998, Radiohead was riding high off the success of their critically acclaimed album 'OK Computer,' released earlier that same year. This groundbreaking album not only catapulted them to international fame but also marked a pivotal moment in alternative rock, blending experimental sounds with poignant lyrical content. The live recording at the Amnesty International concert captures the band during a transformative phase, where they were solidifying their status as avant-garde pioneers. Interestingly, 'OK Computer' was known for its themes of technology and alienation, and hearing tracks like 'Bones' live adds a raw energy that studio recordings sometimes miss. This performance in Paris not only showcased their evolving sound but also emphasized their commitment to activism, a key attribute of their identity.
