Radiohead

In July 2003, when Thom Yorke performed "Fog (Again)" live at Le Réservoir in Paris, Radiohead was riding the wave of their critically acclaimed album, "Hail to the Thief," which had been released just a few weeks earlier, on June 9, 2003. This album marked a significant moment for the band, blending their experimental sound with more traditional rock elements—an evolution that reflected the political climate of the time. Performing in a cozy venue like Le Réservoir added an intimate feel to the show, allowing for personal connection with fans. Interestingly, "Hail to the Thief" was initially meant to be a more straightforward rock record, but it evolved, embodying Radiohead's unique style and thought-provoking themes. Fans of Radiohead may find it fascinating how this period showcased their transition into deeper artistry, paving the way for the innovative sounds that would follow in albums like "In Rainbows."
