After Spoon closed out its encore on Thursday night, the “Star-Spangled Banner” began playing. Funny, considering the 21 songs that preceded should be our national anthems.

While a local and international legend was playing a tiny club across the Charles, Spoon was cementing a legacy of its own at the House of Blues. Careening through its immense catalog of eight albums, the Austin band offered just about everything anyone could want in a rock.

Opener “Rent I Pay” from 2015’s They Want My Soul broke through a wall of feedback that the band walked out to. That gave into the psychedelic “Knock Knock Knock.” From there, the band dove into its back catalog, with hits “The Way We Get By” and “My Mathematical Mind.”

“The Ghost Of You Lingers” also popped up early in the set. The song off the 8-year-old Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga was transformed to have a lot more punch live.

The band marked the mid-set point with a new song, titled “Satellite,” which might be the surest sign we won’t have to wait four years between records like the period between Transference and They Want My Soul. Speaking of Transference, just “Got Nuffin” from that record — a wrongly maligned record by the way — made the setlist to close out the main set.

Other highlights included “Do You,” a song intended for summer barbecues and making a listener hum the contagious “do-do-do-do” for days after hearing it.

Another standout moment was of the you-had-to-be-there variety: A man in the front row, I noticed, kind of looked a lot like Spoon frontman Britt Daniel. The hair was different, but the resemblance was unmistakable to me and my friend. We made a comment about it before the show started. Early on in the set, Daniel, in the midst of his walk around the stage, fist bumped his doppel-Daniel and said “Hello brother.” What! The Daniel look-alike also had really solid rhythm, effectively initiating the handclaps that would reverberate around the building.

By the time the rockers closed out their set with an exuberant take on “The Underdog,” it was readily apparent: Daniel and company are on top.

Brash Boston rockers Viva Viva opened, playing songs with lyrics (rhyming “rolling stone” with “bag of bones”) and instrumentation that evoke the ‘60s and ‘70s.
