All was black and silent until Joseph reappeared in one of the lower bowl sections and finished the song, taking his mask off after the final chorus to prove he was not a double. He then fell backward into a pit in the center of the stage and disappeared. Fittingly, risers on the stage levitated during “Levitate.” In the middle of “Fairly Local,” Joseph climbed up onto a riser that elevated him about 20 feet. The show’s set pieces matched that intensity. They opened with a few new tracks - ”Jumpsuit” and “Levitate” among them - and performed with remarkable intensity. Joseph then rose up through the stage floor on top of an old car engulfed in flames, also masked. Dun initially took the stage after the curtain fell from its rails, masked and holding a lit torch. The band’s entrance set the tone for the rest of the night. Regardless, singer Tyler Joseph and drummer Josh Dun gave it their all in Boston, demonstrating that their spectacle was not without substance. Much of this had to do with the subject matter of their most recent album, “Trench.” Lyrics like “They know that it’s almost over” from the album’s closing track allude to the fact that the band’s “Bandito” tour may be their last. Even as lead singer Tyler Joseph told the crowd he’d see them again the next time around, Twenty One Pilots’ set at TD Garden felt like the end of the band.
