  1. So, anyone else experience the entire film slightly slow and down a semitone?! Honestly it ruined my night after travelling 2hrs to get there. From the first note, everything just sounded off. Online clips were not pitched down. I think there was a playback issue at more than one cinema by the sounds of it.

    - I felt the sound could have been a smiiiidge louder on the whole.

    Man, it was ear crushingly loud at the back! And when tom morello came out it was borderline ear rape. I think being higher than the standing crowd probably helped a lot in that respect.

    1) Uprising.  Like it or loath it, the song is an anthem for muse lovers, so why start the base line, and then try and introduce the band over it as the song actually started..... 

    Erm, they introduced chris and then he played the bass.

    They introduced morgan and then he played the keys? It made total sense to me but I was at the back, unreserved seating.

    2) Sound levels and mix.  My god, what a horlicks from about the 3-6 song in. I assume it was a simple mistake, but the bass was literally trouser shaking and overwhelming the rest of the music, with the vocals and even drums getting lost behind the almost painful bass distortion.

    That's unfortunate because again, back of the stadium, unreserved level 1, directly facing the stage the sound was really really good. There was some trouser-flapping bass moments but they didn't cloud the sound at all for us. The only moment where it became really uncomfortable was dig down, it diddn't cloud the other instruments for me, but the bass was seriously fat. Balance wise, I felt everything was perfect apart from Tom Morello guest spot. Just a little bit obnoxiously loud for my tastes, you can hear it on the instagram clip as well.

    3) Setlist.   that the slow bit does nothing for the energy levels

    agree.  Dig Down , Madness, Mercy, is a particular low point in the set for me personally. Mercy looked amazing from the back, but eh.

    4) Stage.  Quote dramatic, but you cannot keep pushing the boundaries of stage presentation and graphics before it starts getting much the same. 

    Will have to disagree, the graphic presentation, camera work and real time effects were WAY WAY above any muse show yet IMO. 

    I do agree it was about 6 out of 10 though. Was also lucky enough for the past two gigs to be SBE and RAH.... It's really hard for a stadium to come close to SBE haha.

    So the weather for the Saturday is looking pretty bad in Mancland.

    I’m beginning to wonder just how bad it would need to be for them to call it off on the grounds of either health and safety or damaging equipment. 

     

    Typical pissin' manchester! Best take a rain coat... now i'm definitely going to stay seated until the encore, scanning the crowd for the best mosh pits for the metal medley \m/

    Who‘s counting down the days to their gig(s) :love:

    I wish I were, but I have to move house first. And I have a lot of work on at the same time. That, coupled with the setlist means I'm not as hyped as I normally am. I've been super spoilt from the entire drones run, SBE, and RAH that I just haven't had the same feeling I normally get. I really hope i'll be back in the game once i'm in the mosh pit and hear some riffs. That's normally how it goes :D

    Do you think they would show the goals from the champions league final onscreen or come on later for people to watch this game?

    Just unfortunate timing!

    I don't think they'll go on later.
    They might show it up until the band comes on, but probably not on the stage screens.

    Last year, or whenever it was, I saw Chic. It was the same day England got knocked out of the world cup. They hired a big screen (gig was outside) and they showed the game up to before the penalties at the back of the field, and the support just didn't bother playing (Was only a DJ though). Those who cared, watched it on their phones while Chic came on stage. Some with loud blaring crappy phone sound, which was very annoying.

     

    I'm sorta torn about the whole thing, luckily i'm going to manchester anway. I think showing it in the lobby is a good idea, but it depends if they'll pay for the broadcasting rights. And I think I know which option the venue would pick!!

     

  7. Man, i guess RIP rotations.

    I'm in two minds as to how to handle the manchester stadium date. I'm normally 100% in the mosh pit, but the set looks like such a spectacle, at the downside of actual musicians performing and the miming trombones, and the lack of old tunes, and the shortened metal medley (which I got to experience in full mosh pit madness at RAH) that I might sit down and actually watch the show from a chair on level 1 instead. Or maybe i'll sit in my chair for most of the show, then come running back to the biggest mosh pit I can see for the metal medley and KoC....

  8. I'm so fucked from the metal medley still. Great gig. Probably top 3-5ish? SBE -> Club Tour -> Download -> RAH?

     

    I really thought metal medley would suck but when you're there it's totally different. It really depends on how the balance is for stadium gigs. I thought even outside of the metal medley there were enough heavy moments to enjoy. Nice mosh pit all night as well. Was very surprised at Break It To Me. Real stand-out sound-wise in the new songs.

     

    I'm a bit torn on the signs about paying for the front. I agree paying for barrier is fucking bullshit, but this was a charity gig, and to be honest if I were playing a show for charity, and looked out to see those signs it would definitely put a damper on my night. However, perhaps they chose that show because it's one of the only UK ones where they can actually be seen? Not sure there's another opportunity to be so close to the stage before Stadium time.

     

    Unfortunately you have to vote with your wallet on these things, and as long as they can sell them, they'll probably stay. Hopefully it doesn't turn ugly one day at the barrier between hardcores and VIPs.

  9. So excited for this now :awesome: bought some warm clothes and thermal socks for queueing. Half tempted to do another overnighter, even though I swore SBE would be the only time I’d ever do it...

     

     

    jesus christ man. was that to get barrier? I find i can go to a muse show basically any time, and still get a few rows from the front, and in the best mosh pits. at least that's how it's been for me at SBE, club shows etc

  10. guys am I missing something here? can't get through to the presale as ticketmaster has been showing a blue loading circle by the presale date since 10am! have tried in different browsers / on phone and get the same thing!:(
