Radiohead - Identikit Live Performance at Austin City Limits 2012
In October 2012, Radiohead was promoting their eighth studio album, "The King of Limbs," which had been released earlier that year. This album marked a significant evolution in their sound, incorporating elements of dubstep and electronic music, showcasing their artistic experimentation. The live recording of 'Identikit' from the Manchester Arena captures the band's innovative spirit during this transitional period. It's interesting to note that this performance followed a tumultuous time for the band, including the tragic stage collapse in Toronto earlier that year. The energy and intensity of the live performance reflect both resilience and creativity, highlighting why Radiohead's music resonates deeply with fans. Live versions, like the one in this video, often highlight the immersive nature of their work, offering a unique perspective that studio recordings can't always achieve.
