Heh, one of the things that I told my wife years ago is that if they ever do a request-only concert in the U.S. I'm going, regardless of where it is. I honestly don't expect much this time around but they can't keep targeting A-tier concert prices and not give an A-tier concert. Something has to break.

$360 for three floor tickets is bonkers (and I paid, so who's the sucker). This had better be a long damn setlist.

I'll be there with at least one or two others. Really hoping we go back to a more traditional stage setup; the atmosphere was dead the last time they played Detroit. Plus the drone failures

WTF is going on right now.

Well, that was a shit setlist, wasn't it? Eurasia was scheduled to be played but they got started a bit late and cut it. I thought the dil-drone crashing after thirty seconds was amusing, but what was certainly not amusing was the number of songs we got (16?) and the rarities played (0). Ugh.

Muse has always played Ohio on their major tours, often multiple cities. Likely the second leg in the fall will fill in some of the mid-sized market gaps. Got my floor tickets, although I was tempted to go reserved since 122 should be a good section.

The Palace is quite a bit nicer, but on the other hand using the people mover lets you park a distance away and not deal with post-gig traffic. And I appreciate the dinner options surrounding the arena. That cold, though.

We'll be getting the first non-weekend Detroit gig Muse have played since early 2004. It looks like they got shafted on U.S. arena availability. Who's planning on braving the cold for this one?

Which singles are you looking for? eBay has pretty much everything you could want; I sincerely doubt you wouldn't be able to find a non-promo single there.

They're real. Someone(s) scored a huge lot of them before they were sent out and has been flogging them ever since. I picked one up from that seller at a pretty good price; this was back when there were only "7 or 8" for sale. I'm not comfortable with someone stealing a lot from the factory (and in fact I sent the seller a question which was never answered), but I do like the fact that it's really dropped the NSC prices. They were ridiculous for a while.

It's the same setlist pic as what's on MuseWiki. You could ask for another picture and see what the seller says.
