Radiohead
Radiohead Performance of The National Anthem at Théâtre Antique Vaison-la-Romaine
In May 2001, Radiohead was riding the wave of their critically acclaimed album, "Kid A," which had been released just a few months prior, in October 2000. This period marked a significant turning point for the band, as they diverged from their earlier rock sound into more experimental territories, incorporating electronic elements and abstract lyrics. The live performance at the Théâtre antique in Vaison-la-Romaine showcases this evolution beautifully, highlighting tracks like "The National Anthem." It was an exciting time for fans, as the band was not only exploring new music, but also redefining what a rock band could be. What's interesting is that despite the mixed initial reception of "Kid A," it later became a landmark album, influencing countless artists and solidifying Radiohead's place in music history as innovators. This concert captured them at a poignant moment—boldly stepping into the future.
