Radiohead filled the Cruzan Amphitheatre last night, with a highly anticipated tour following the release of their 2007 album: "In Rainbows".





The English based band kicked off the two-dozen song set list with "All I need" off their current album and a mass array of lights hanging from the Amphitheatre ceiling. The lights helped serve for what would prove to be a spectacular visual array of fiber optics. In the background was a large panoramic TV that was divided into four parts, displaying all four members of Radiohead: Thom Yorke (Vocals, rhythm guitar, electronics and piano), Jonny Greenwood (Lead Guitar), Ed O'Brien (Guitar, backing vocals), and Phil Selway (Drums, Percussion).





"I've got no idea how much people know of what we're doing tonight, I don't get out much." York said when he addressed the crowd.



Many of the songs played were off of "In Rainbows", while some of their older songs, "Idioteque", "15 step" and "Exit Music (For a film)" served as a reminder for Radiohead fans of how much Radiohead has grown over the years.





"Pablo Honey" was the band's first album and was released in early 1993, which featured the band's first hit single "Creep". "In Rainbows" is the seventh album by Radiohead. Previous albums include: "The Bends" (1995), "OK Computer" (1997') "Kid A" (2000), "Amnesiac" (2001), and "Hail to the Thief" (2003).
