Radiohead

In July 1998, when Radiohead performed 'Paranoid Android' at the Belfort Festival, they were riding high on the success of their critically acclaimed album, 'OK Computer,' which had been released just a year prior. 'OK Computer' marked a significant turning point for the band, propelling them into the global spotlight with its blend of experimental rock and deeply introspective lyrics. The live performance is a vivid snapshot of their artistic evolution, showcasing their ability to merge complex musical landscapes with raw, emotional energy. Interestingly, 'Paranoid Android,' with its distinct sections and thought-provoking themes, was a standout track from this album, reflecting the band's shift from the grunge-inspired sound of their earlier work. The festival stage provided the perfect backdrop for Radiohead's experimental sound, capturing their transformative journey as a band during this pivotal time.
