Radiohead

On April 4, 2008, Radiohead performed 'Nude' live on the BBC's Jonathan Ross show, a period where the band was riding high on the success of their seventh studio album, 'In Rainbows.' Released in October 2007, this album was groundbreaking not just for its music but for its pioneering pay-what-you-want release strategy, which disrupted the traditional music industry model. Their performance showcased their ability to blend atmospheric soundscapes with emotional depth, reflecting the album's introspective themes. By this time, Radiohead had solidified their reputation as one of the most innovative bands in the world, having already dabbled in various genres and sounds. Interestingly, 'Nude' had been in the works for years prior, first surfacing as an unreleased track from their 1997 album, 'OK Computer,' proving their knack for evolving long-gestating ideas into compelling live performances.
