Radiohead - Climbing Up the Walls Live at Glastonbury Festival 2003
In June 2003, Radiohead delivered an unforgettable performance of "Climbing Up the Walls" at the Glastonbury Festival, nestled in the rolling fields of Worthy Farm. This live recording came shortly after the release of their album "Hail to the Thief," which hit shelves just a month prior. The album, often viewed as a reflection of the band's feelings about the political landscape of the time, showcased their signature mix of cerebral lyricism and experimental sounds. It was a period of artistic evolution for Radiohead, wherein they embraced their status as pioneers of alternative rock. The energy of this performance, tinged with an underlying emotional depth, highlights how the band had become a voice of a generation. Fans were drawn not just to the music, but to the whole atmosphere they created—transforming the stage into a space of raw connection and compelling artistic expression.
