Radiohead

In May 1995, Radiohead was in a transformative phase, just months after releasing their sophomore album, "The Bends." This album marked a significant evolution for the band, showcasing their shift from the grunge influences of their debut to a more polished sound entwined with emotional depth and lyrical complexity. The live recording at Luna Theater captures them at a pivotal moment, as they solidified their identity beyond the hit "Creep," featuring powerful performances of songs like "Street Spirit (Fade Out)" and "My Iron Lung." It's interesting to note how, by this time, they were honing their craft in live settings, winning over audiences with their dynamic stage presence. The balance of haunting melodies and probing lyrics in their setlist reflects the band’s growing confidence and ambition during this era, setting the stage for their later masterpieces.
