NEW YORK (Billboard) - Radiohead kicked off its first major North American tour in more than three years Monday night at the Woodlands Amphitheater outside of Houston. The 22-song, two-hour set drew exactly half of its material from the British group's two most recent Capitol albums, last year's "Kid A" and the brand new "Amnesiac," which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 last week. Aside from the group's 1993 debut "Pablo Honey," all of Radiohead's albums were well represented. Four songs were played from 1995's "The Bends," including " Bones" and the title track, which closed the show. From "OK Computer" came "Climbing up the Walls," "Exit Music (For a Film)," "Lucky," "No Surprises," " Karma Police" and a show-stopping version of "Paranoid Android," which frontman Thom Yorke dedicated to "all the people in the back smoking weed."
