Thom Yorke and his cohorts took the stage amid a simulated twisting of the dial over the PA system. Guitarists Jonny Greenwood and Ed O’Brien were set up in front of matched standing drum sets, and boom - Radiohead launched into the righteous tribal stomp of “There There” from 2003’s Hail to the Thief. A tremendous reception followed as they ventured into the spooked-out harmonies of “2 + 2 = 5.”

The Brit rockers didn’t take long to bust out new material - “15 Step” was a powerhouse, beginning with a bit of a techno shuffle and ending with a labyrinth of melodies. Yorke removed his trademark hoody and skipped across the stage while O’Brien offered up strong, sturdy counter-harmonies and Phil Sellway authoritatively pummeled his drums.

Radiohead couldn’t have seemed more content, exuding that magically creative sense of purpose that bands sometimes emit when they’re in the midst of new songs. The crowd was unusually well-behaved, engrossed by the display, which included 10oddly shaped screens with under- and overexposed images of the band.

Particularly well-received was “The National Anthem,” giving off a fevered, rhythmic grind.

The surfer-punk surprise of the new “Spooks,” a short instrumental, served as comic relief and demonstrated that, contrary to popular thinking, the band hasn’t lost its sense of humor.

Perhaps the most melodically pleasing of the new songs was “House of Cards,” an uncharacteristically simple song with delightful ska textures and a delicate soul groove. Close your eyes and you might’ve thought you were at a different show.

Radiohead did another half-dozen songs spread over two encores, including the anthem “Everything In Its Right Place.”
