Radiohead

In 2006, when Radiohead performed "Creep" at the V Festival, they were coming off a transformative era marked by their album "Hail to the Thief," released in 2003. This album showcased the band's evolving sound, with its blend of rock and electronic influences, reflecting the social and political climate of the time. The live recording captures a significant moment since "Creep," their early iconic hit from "Pablo Honey," had long been overshadowed by their more experimental later work. Interestingly, by 2006, Radiohead had distanced themselves from the song, often playing it sparingly due to its association with their younger days. This performance, where they revisited this fan favorite, underscores a unique nostalgia and a moment of connection with their audience, reminding everyone of their roots, even as they propelled into their next daring creative phase.
