Radiohead

On February 21, 1995, Radiohead delivered an electrifying performance during 'The Black Sessions' at La Maison de la Radio in Paris, just a few months after releasing their critically acclaimed album, 'The Bends.' This album marked a pivotal moment in their career, showcasing a deeper emotional intensity and musical sophistication that laid the groundwork for their later works. At this time, the band was transitioning from the success of their debut, 'Pablo Honey,' and beginning to cement their identity in the alt-rock scene. Interestingly, 'The Bends' featured hits like 'Fake Plastic Trees' and 'Street Spirit (Fade Out),' both of which resonated deeply with fans in their live performances. This session captured not only the raw energy of their early days but also hints at the innovative direction they would soon embrace, blending experimentation and melancholy in their sound.
