Last night, Radiohead played the first date of their short North American spring tour at Miami's American Airlines Arena. And during the show, they did something they haven't done in eight years. They played "The Tourist," the OK Computer deep cut, live. As always, it's cool to hear the heads in the crowd react when they know they're seeing something rare. Watch a fan-made video below.

Meanwhile, something else notable happened during the show. Jonny Greenwood likes to warp and manipulate live radio broadcasts before launching into "The National Anthem," but this time, he accidentally picked up a bit of the Bruno Mars hit "That's What I Like," which is arguably not the first song you'd expect to hear at a Radiohead show. The crowd was happy; the band wasn't. The moment happens at the 27:35 mark of this video:
