Radiohead

In 2006, Radiohead was riding the wave of their critically acclaimed album "Hail to the Thief," which was released three years prior. By the time they performed "Videotape" at Bayside in San Diego on June 27, 2006, they were delving into darker, more experimental sounds that would soon culminate in their next album, "In Rainbows," released in 2007, changing the game for music distribution. This live performance showcases a raw, early version of "Videotape," a haunting reflection on mortality that resonates deeply with fans. Interestingly, this era marked a turning point for Radiohead, as they began to explore the boundaries of digital release, ultimately leading to their revolutionary pay-what-you-want model for "In Rainbows." Watching the intimate atmosphere of the San Diego show, you can feel the connection between the band and their audience, a testament to their enduring legacy.
