In October 2008, when Radiohead performed live at the Saitama Arena in Japan, they were firmly supporting their sixth studio album, "In Rainbows," which had been released just under a year earlier, in October 2007. "In Rainbows" was notable for its innovative pay-what-you-want model, allowing fans to choose how much they wished to pay for the digital download, a bold move in the evolving music industry landscape. During the Saitama concert, the band showcased several tracks from this album, alongside fan favorites from earlier works, reflecting their wide-ranging appeal and artistic evolution. This performance also encapsulated the band's distinct style, characterized by their intricate soundscapes and emotional depth, further solidified by their live presence. The show captured a moment of transition as they navigated their post-millennial sound and cemented their legacy as one of the leading avant-garde rock bands of their time.
