Radiohead

In November 1995, Radiohead performed 'Man of War' (originally called 'Big Boots') at the Propaganda club in Milan, Italy. This live performance came just after the release of their critically acclaimed album, 'The Bends' released earlier that year. It's fascinating to note that this period marked a crucial evolution in Radiohead's sound, as they were transitioning from their early alt-rock style to the more experimental elements that would come to define their later work. This performance is particularly significant because 'Man of War' would remain unreleased on studio albums for years, showcasing the band's tendency to play with ideas before fully realizing them. The intimate venue adds to the energy of the recording, capturing a raw and compelling moment from a band in the thick of their rise to prominence.
