Radiohead

In the summer of 2012, Radiohead graced the stage at the Arènes de Nîmes, delivering a hauntingly beautiful performance just weeks after the tragic collapse of a stage in Toronto, which claimed the life of their drum technician. At this point in their career, the band was riding high on the success of their 2011 album, 'The King of Limbs,' which had pushed their boundaries with experimental sounds and rhythms. The show in Nîmes signified more than just a live recording; it encapsulated a moment of resilience and determination for the band. The audience witnessed a blend of old favorites and newer tracks, including 'Bloom' and 'Separator,' showcasing their unique ability to marry ethereal melodies with complex, thought-provoking themes. Fans often remark on the emotional weight of this performance, as it served not only as a return to the stage but also as a tribute to their late friend.
