Radiohead - Karma Police Live Performance at Amnesty International Concert in Paris
In October 1998, Radiohead was riding high on the success of their critically acclaimed album 'OK Computer,' released earlier that year. This live recording at the Amnesty International concert in Paris captures the band at a pivotal moment, balancing mainstream success with their characteristic artistry. 'Karma Police,' a standout track from 'OK Computer,' explores themes of alienation and social critique—fitting for an event supporting human rights. Performance-wise, the atmosphere that night was electric, with fans deeply engaged as Radiohead delivered their hauntingly beautiful sound. Interestingly, this concert also marked a time when the band's style began shifting, laying the groundwork for their future experimentation seen in albums like 'Kid A.' It’s a snapshot of a band that was evolving, both musically and ethically, as they embraced deeper social themes in their work.
