Radiohead

In December 1997, Radiohead was riding the wave of their critically acclaimed album 'OK Computer,' which had been released just a few months earlier in May. This album marked a turning point for the band, showcasing their evolution from alternative rock to a more experimental sound, intertwining themes of technology and alienation. The live performance at Hammerstein Ballroom is particularly striking; you can sense the raw energy and palpable connection between the band and the audience. It’s also fascinating to note that the concert was part of their MTV 10 Spot series, where they highlighted emerging artists. This era was a significant one for Radiohead, pushing them into the limelight and paving the way for future masterpieces like 'Kid A.' You can practically feel the excitement in the air, don't you think?
