By most measures, this show passed even the strictest muster. The visuals were stimulating; the sound was clear; the crowd was mesmerized; and the setlist was -- well, that’s certainly open for discussion and probably subject to everyone’s expectations. It was built primarily for the hardcore fans and the insiders or for anyone who just wanted to be there and soak up the transcendence.
It included the obscure “Supercollider,” a Record Store Day single from 2011, and several of the band’s more downtempo and ambient songs. There was no “Karma Police” or “No Surprises,” no “Fake Plastic Trees,” no “Knives Out.” It included one song from “Amnesiac,” two off the excellent “Hail to the Thief” album but more than half of “The King of Limbs,” the band’s latest album and one of its least dynamic. The song choices affected the mood -- Sunday’s show was measurably mellower than Friday’s in St. Louis -- but that seemed to have little affect on the Sprint Center crowd, which was on its feet all night, watching and swaying, greeting each intro with a roar, singing-along to several songs and submitting to the evening’s slow-burning radiance
