Radiohead

On July 4, 2000, Radiohead performed at the Großer Sendesaal des RBB in Berlin, showcasing their sharp artistic evolution during a pivotal moment in their career. This live recording came just a year after the release of their critically acclaimed album, 'Kid A,' which marked a dramatic shift towards electronic experimentation and abstract soundscapes. By 2000, the band was navigating newfound fame while grappling with the industry’s expectations, leading to a heightened intensity in their performances. Interestingly, 'Dollars and Cents,' the track featured in this live show, reflects the band's disillusionment with capitalism and consumer culture, themes that resonated deeply in the post-millennial era. Their Berlin performance not only highlights their dedication to pushing boundaries but also captures the raw energy that defined their live shows during this transformative period.
