Radiohead - Live at The Metro 1996 Concert Performance
In April 1996, Radiohead performed a vital show at The Metro in Chicago, just months after releasing their second studio album, 'The Bends.' This album not only solidified their presence in the alternative rock scene but also received critical acclaim for its emotional depth and sonic experimentation. During this live performance, the band played several tracks from 'The Bends,' including the haunting 'My Iron Lung,' which showcases their evolution from the grunge-influenced sound of their debut, 'Pablo Honey.' Interestingly, this was a transitional period for Radiohead, where they began to experiment more with their sound, paving the way for their later works like 'OK Computer.' Their performances at this time were marked by a growing intensity and depth, foreshadowing the artistic innovations that would soon follow.
