Radiohead

In 'Radiohead - Black Star (Live @ Metro, Chicago. 1996)', we find the band at a pivotal moment in their career. This performance, recorded on November 30, 1995, came just after the release of their critically acclaimed album 'The Bends', which dropped in March 1995. The album marked a significant shift for the band, showcasing a more complex sound and deeper lyrics after their debut, 'Pablo Honey'. During this live performance, fans were treated to an early rendition of 'Black Star', a haunting track that highlights Thom Yorke's ethereal vocals and the band's atmospheric instrumentation. It’s fascinating to note that 'The Bends' established Radiohead as serious contenders in the alternative rock scene, paving the way for their future masterpieces. This show at the Metro not only captured their ascendance but also forged a strong connection with fans yearning for something groundbreaking in the '90s music landscape.
