Radiohead

In November 1999, when Radiohead performed 'High And Dry' on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, they were riding the wave of their critically acclaimed album 'OK Computer,' released the previous year. This period marked a turning point in their career, as 'OK Computer' not only solidified their status as a major musical force but also captured the anxieties of modern life in a way that resonated deeply with audiences. The band was known for their innovative sound and introspective lyrics, traits that were on full display during their performance. Interestingly, 'High And Dry' wasn't a single from this game-changing album; rather, it originated from their earlier release, 'The Bends.' This live moment illustrated the band's ability to captivate listeners and highlighted the seamless evolution from their earlier work into the more experimental sounds that followed, paving the way for future masterpieces.
