Radiohead

In September 2001, Radiohead performed 'Life in a Glasshouse' live at BBC Broadcasting House for 'Later.. with Jools Holland,' just as they were transitioning from the critical acclaim of their fourth album, 'OK Computer.' That record had propelled them into the stratosphere of rock music, redefining alternative sounds with its intricate production and introspective lyrics. By the time of this live recording, Radiohead had recently released their fifth studio album, 'Hail to the Thief,' in June 2003. This performance showcased their ability to bring cinematic, orchestral elements to the stage, particularly with the addition of brass instruments, a distinct touch in 'Life in a Glasshouse.' Their creative evolution during this period truly demonstrated how they balanced commercial success with artistic exploration.
