Radiohead
Radiohead Performance of Where Bluebirds Fly at Field Day Festival 2003
In July 2003, Radiohead delivered a riveting performance at the Field Day Festival, just a few months after releasing their sixth studio album, 'Hail to the Thief.' This album marked a significant turning point for the band, showcasing a blend of rock and electronic influences that hinted at their ever-evolving sound. Interestingly, 'Hail to the Thief' was shaped by the political climate of the time, reflecting themes of disillusionment and societal unrest – feelings that resonated deeply with fans. During the concert at Giants Stadium, the band played tracks from this album, along with older hits, creating an electric atmosphere that highlighted their unique ability to connect with audiences. It was in this context of artistic growth and political commentary that the live recording captures Radiohead at a particularly dynamic point in their career, full of both ambition and introspection.
