Radiohead

In August 1996, Radiohead was riding the wave of their burgeoning fame, having released their acclaimed album 'The Bends' earlier that year. This live performance at the Great Woods Center marked a pivotal moment as they debuted 'Climbing Up the Walls,' a haunting track that perfectly reflected their evolving sound and thematic depth. At this point, the band was transforming from alternative rock newcomers to experimental innovators, pushing boundaries with complex arrangements and introspective lyrics. It's fascinating to note that 'The Bends' showcased their shift toward a more atmospheric approach, setting the stage for their future masterpiece 'OK Computer.' This Mansfield show not only captured the raw energy of their live performance but also hinted at the artistic growth that was about to unfold.
