    I think IDing will be used increasingly at least for smaller gigs... it was used seamlessly and quickly so far as I could see for the Psycho tour. I also had experience of it at Brixton for Royal Blood last year and Radiohead a month ago at The Roundhouse. It was used at the O2 for the Chillies and Radiohead gigs I went to a while back, (and also I believe for Adele). And of course its been used for ages at Glastonbury But they need to limit ticket purchase to two only for small gigs.

    Yes. And was recognised by way more than 1% of the audience.

    I'd rather have a 'complete album' tour (plus couple added standards/rarities fr other albums), from, in order of my personal preference, 1. Absolution 2. BHAR 3. Showbiz.

    I like the idea... but how do you avoid the lowest common denominator songs? A few years ago (2012 roughly) QOTSA had a fan setlist poll to choose 10 songs for their Glasto headline spot (they were on the 'Other' stage). Setlist was everything I wanted, bar one song, but the chosen songs were pretty much the staples they'd played the other times I've seen them (plus the relevant new album stuff).

    I like the idea in principle... but, given how that particular one is set up, wouldn't we end up with just the most popular 3 rather than deep-cuts... ?

    Good on you! I tried to persuade my hubby to go to queue really early but he wasn't having it. I was happy with where we got though.
  7. denise3112
    Hahaha I didn't spot that, was checking only at the beginning! Were you on the barrier?
  8. denise3112
    Whatever floats yer boat. Respect where its due and all but.... You'd have to pay me to go to a Springsteen gig. A lot of money.

    Yes and yes But blokes don't usually admit to being nervous or anxious. Even when they obviously are! And 'no-one' and 'everyone' statements are rarely that simple. So to give an (extreme) example, I once saw Amy Winehouse at a festival. She sang some stuff I didn't know. But I knew that it was fucked-up. I've got ears! my point is simply that the stakes are usually higher, in all sorts of ways, in a huge gig than a tiny one.

    Hmm the first part of what you say is very all or nothing. And 'wanting a big reaction' and 'not wanting to fuck-up in front of 20,000 people and Press' are not mutually exclusive.
  11. denise3112
    Because they're human. Who wants to fuck-up in front of 20,000 people and Press?
  12. denise3112
    Montreux, don't hate me. No I don't think we care if they fluff things but I think they might, at a big gig anyway. re 'The Thing' each time I saw it, it looked like a nervous awkward thing to me. A bit like a little boy who holds his willy for comfort. In the small gig in Montreux he didn't do it, (I don't think) - he wasn't giving off that awkward vibe.
  13. denise3112
    They are more relaxed at a small gig like this for sure. Less downside if they fluff up than when there's 20,000 at the London O2 and the national press reporting? btw so far as I could tell from where I was Matt didn't do 'The Thing' in the intro to Uprising.

    Review of Montreux gig in 'Blick' Daily Swiss newspaper... http://www.blick.ch/people-tv/musik/montreux-jazz-festival/muse-in-montreux-ein-rock-donnerwetter-vor-dem-herrn-id5221048.html put through Google Translate: "Matthew Bellamy... The petite Muse boss served still guitar, piano and levitates his voice in adventurous spheres. But now he leaves his instruments live ever his keyboardist in order to stage only with micro as Rockstar and conductor of the fan masses... Muse offer a rock thunder before the Lord.... Impressive as Dominic Howard spanks his furs."

    Aaaaaah ! The balanced voice of reason
  16. denise3112
    Quite. And now people are complaining + + + because they played LESS hits and more deepcuts at a small gig. How very fucking dare they?
  17. denise3112
    ha no I'm not. Seems like 1. Muse must only play want this board decrees. Or else massive whingefest. 2. People on here not interested in what the Montreux was actually like, only in complaining about it. Really don't know why either of those two things surprises me
  18. denise3112
    nah.... be honest. 'we bitch because we like bitching'
  19. denise3112
    in brief then, 'we bitch and we are right'
  20. denise3112
    IF you think there are only 2 positions 1. vomit bile 2. arse-sniffing
  21. denise3112
    You called it! It was fanstastic
  22. denise3112
    This board's default position is whining to bile and back to whining again. It's pathetic.
  23. denise3112
    Exactly. I was there. They were a restrained crowd, but attentive, knowledgeable and appreciative. On the floor anyway. Don't know about the seats.
  24. denise3112
    Yes of course you can. Maybe I do but I've not really thought about it. I do sometimes feel ashamed though, the UK has a terrible reputation for drunkenness. And the difference between a UK gig and this Swiss gig is really notable for that... the Swiss didn't barge through from back to front, they didn't start fights, and no one vomited down my back like at my last time at Reading fest. The venue didn't allow drink into the auditorium; suspect that adds to a more restrained atmosphere. If you're not interested Tjet, fine, but your sarcasm just misses the point.

    Thanks Nikite, took your advice about getting in early, and where to stand, it was perfect for me. You say crowds are 'shit' in Switzerland but I would say the crowd was respectful of the people around them rather than shit. In the UK there's much more pushing and shoving.
