Radiohead

In May 1995, Radiohead performed 'High and Dry' on 'Later... with Jools Holland,' capturing a pivotal moment just after the release of their critically acclaimed album 'The Bends.' This album, which debuted in March 1995, marked a significant evolution in their sound, steering away from the grunge influences of their earlier work. The band, still riding the wave of their debut 'Pablo Honey,' was beginning to gain substantial recognition, with 'The Bends' featuring soaring melodies and introspective lyrics that resonated deeply with fans. Interestingly, just a few months after this recording, Radiohead would embark on their first major international tour, further solidifying their status in the alternative rock scene. The live performance showcased their raw talent, and it's fascinating to see how they merged energetic performances with contemplative songwriting—setting the stage for their future artistic explorations.
