Radiohead Live Performance of 2+2=5 in Salamanca

Venue: Palacio de Congresos y Exposiciones Location: Salamanca, Castille and León, Spain Date: August 6, 2002

In August 2002, Radiohead delivered a powerful performance of "2+2=5" at the Palacio de Congresos y Exposiciones in Salamanca, Spain. This concert came shortly after the release of their sixth studio album, "Hail to the Thief," which was launched in June that same year. The album marked a critical point in their career; it reflected their experimentation with sound and the political undertones that permeated their work, especially in the wake of global tensions. Interestingly, the song "2+2=5" itself is a critique of manipulated truths, echoing themes from George Orwell's 1984. This live recording captures not just the raw emotion of the band, but also the intense connection they had with their audience, demonstrating a pivotal moment in their artistic evolution as they continued to push boundaries.
