Radiohead impress at the Grammys with USC marching band

Radiohead gave their first-ever Grammy Awards performance backed by University of Southern California (USC)'s renowned marching band at the ceremony held in Los Angeles tonight (February 8).

The band, which won the Grammy for Alternative Music Album, delivered a rousing rendition of '15 Step' - one of the evening's highlights. They were introduced by actress Gwyneth Paltrow, who called them "utterly brilliant".

Earlier in the evening, Sir Paul McCartney performed The Beatles' tune 'Saw Her Standing There' with Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl on drums. Before Radiohead took the stage, McCartney told reporters backstage: "I like Radiohead a lot. I think they're really good. I'm looking forward to seeing them with a the USC marching band tonight."
