Radiohead

In the spring of 2001, Radiohead was riding high on the waves of their acclaimed album 'Kid A', which had been released just months earlier in October 2000. This period marked a pivotal moment in the band's career, as they ventured away from traditional rock sounds into more experimental territory, embracing electronic elements and abstract lyricism. Their performance of 'Motion Picture Soundtrack' during the live recording at Canal Plus showcases this evolution beautifully—it's haunting, ethereal, and reflects the bold artistic choices they were making. What's especially intriguing about this era is how Radiohead, known for their live prowess, began to cultivate a reputation not just for their recordings but for stunning live performances that often turned into immersive experiences, capturing the complex emotional landscapes that their music explored.
