Radiohead

In May 1996, Radiohead performed 'Lift' at the Pinkpop Festival in the Netherlands, a pivotal period for the band as they were riding high on the success of their breakthrough album, 'The Bends,' which had been released just months earlier in March. This live recording captures the essence of a band transitioning from their earlier alt-rock sound to more experimental landscapes, hinting at what was to come with their next album, 'OK Computer,' just around the corner. Interestingly, 'Lift' had initially been left off the final tracklist of 'OK Computer,' making its live performance during this era even more significant, as it highlights the evolution of their creative process. Fans at the festival likely sensed they were witnessing something special, as Radiohead was establishing themselves as a leading force in the world of music.
