Chicago (or, well, Outer Illinois, or so Tinley Park feels) was delivered two Radiohead treats on Sunday night: the premiere of a new tune, "Full Stop" or "Ful Stop ,"* and a deep b-side, "The Amazing Sounds of Orgy." Click here for the full setlist.
The latter title is an apt, if gross, description of the current Radiohead sound. Guitars and computer chips have given way to hips and drumsticks. The band grooves, a bit knottily, and Thom Yorke stomps about as if he's auditioning for Fela! .
If Nigel Godrich is the unofficial sixth member of Radiohead, and second drummer Clive Deamer the seventh, it's time to consider lighting designer Andi Watson the eighth. Watson's simple but diverse scheme casts the players in settings that jump from nightclub to acid trip to oil slick to star gate to Dan Flavin exhibit.
Talking to concertgoers, I got the same immediate reaction. "They seem so happy now!" Radiohead seems content and at ease. Ed has a hat. Thom has long hair. This is an act that toiled and toiled over albums for years. I can see those days being over. Before heading to First Midwest Bank Amphitheatre, the British dads popped into Jack White's Nashville studio over the weekend for some undisclosed reason. Would you be surprised if they banged out recordings of some of these new songs?
*It was on the set list as "Ful." Remember, "Packt."
It's okay to be a show-off.
