Radiohead

In November 1996, Radiohead performed 'Fake Plastic Trees' at the 10 Spot in New York City, just a few months after releasing their iconic album, 'OK Computer.' This live recording captures the raw emotion and vulnerability that the band exuded during this transformative period in their career. At the time, they were still navigating fame following their successful second album, 'The Bends,' but 'OK Computer' was about to catapult them to the forefront of alternative rock. The performance highlights frontman Thom Yorke's haunting vocals, which perfectly convey the song's themes of artificiality and longing—a signature element of their artistry. The energy in the venue is palpable, making it clear that this was a band on the verge of something monumental.
