Thom Yorke wrapped up his North American solo tour with longtime collaborator Nigel Godrich in Las Vegas on Saturday (12/22), at The Chelsea in The Cosmopolitan. Like he has throughout the tour, Thom played new material, tracks from his solo albums, and a couple of Atoms for Peace songs (although Flea and Joey Waronker didn’t join him onstage like they did in Los Angeles). As Pitchfork points out, Thom began the show’s second encore with something a little different: he sang “Silent Night,” which he then segued into the Radiohead song “Reckoner.” Watch a video of that, and find Saturday night’s full setlist, below.

In December of 2011, Fred Armisen played Thom Yorke in an SNL bit where he sang “Silent Night” with Michael Buble. Watch that below (the Thom bit is at 2:16).

Radiohead previously performed “Winter Wonderland” in a 2002 webcast from their studio in Oxford. Watch that below, as well.
