  In March 1995, Thom Yorke was at a pivotal moment in his career as he performed live at the Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto to celebrate the release of Radiohead's second album, *The Bends*. This album marked a significant development in the band's sound and lyrical depth compared to their debut, *Pablo Honey*, showcasing a more mature and experimental approach. *The Bends* would later be recognized as one of the defining albums of the 1990s alternative rock scene. During this performance, Yorke's poignant vocals and the band's atmospheric instrumentation indicated their rising status and artistic evolution, which would eventually lead to greater acclaim and experimentation in future works, particularly with their acclaimed album *OK Computer* in 1997. Interestingly, the live recording captures the raw energy and emotion that characterized their early performances, illustrating the band's connection with their audience as they transitioned to a more prominent place in the music landscape.
