Radiohead - Pyramid Song Live Performance at CANAL+ Studios in Paris
In April 2001, Radiohead was riding the wave of success from their critically acclaimed album 'Kid A,' which had been released in October 2000. This live performance of 'Pyramid Song' at Canal+ Studios in Paris beautifully encapsulates the band's experimentation with sound and structure, marking a significant shift from their earlier work. The band's bold departure from conventional rock at this time was not just a stylistic choice but a reflection of their creative evolution. 'Kid A' received widespread praise, and its haunting melodies and abstract lyrics left a lasting impact on the music landscape. Performing 'Pyramid Song,' a standout track from that very album, they showcased their ability to blend complex emotions with an ethereal soundscape. Interestingly, during this period, the band was also embracing new technologies, experimenting with how music was consumed, which ultimately influenced the music industry's direction.
