Radiohead Concert in San Francisco at Justin Herman Plaza performing The Bends and more

Venue: Justin Herman Plaza Location: San Francisco, California, United States Date: April 3, 1995

On April 3, 1995, Radiohead performed at the Justin Herman Plaza in San Francisco, just as they were riding the wave of success from their second studio album, 'The Bends,' released earlier that year. This live recording showcases a band on the verge of superstardom, capturing the raw, emotional energy they projected in their performances. Notably, 'The Bends' offered a more refined sound compared to their debut, delving into themes of alienation and longing, which resonated deeply with fans. The setlist features crowd favorites like 'Just' and 'High & Dry,' highlighting their growing catalog. Fans will appreciate how this performance reflects the band's artistic evolution, as they transition from the alternative rock scene toward the experimental soundscapes they would later embrace.
