Radiohead kicked off a two-night stand at New York’s Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night by giving diehards something to tweet about at the first North American show on their A Moon Shaped Pool tour. The band busted out the trance-inducing OK Computer track “Let Down,” playing it for the first time in a decade and inspired an unlikely sing-along to lyrics such as “shell smashed, juices flowing/ Wings twitch, legs are going.”

People were kind of excited.

Hearing “Let Down” tonight @radiohead brought back the perfect kind of memories. Reminded me of why people work so hard to go to rock shows.

Have seen #Radiohead live A LOT. Tonight may be my favorite show ever. Did I mention they sang “Let Down?” pic.twitter.com/wzrBN6nGsw

Radiohead played Planet Telex, Let Down and Street Spirit. Must’ve known old men like me we’re coming.
