Hey, everyone.

 

So I posted briefly in this thread during the ticket ordering mess but have been a lurker for the most part since then. Anyway, nostalgia being what it is and all that, I made a playlist on YouTube consisting of what I thought were the best videos of each song from this gig. Points were awarded for sound quality, visual quality, and then completeness (interludes, outro's, etc) Let me know if you think you've found a better version of any given song though. Enjoy.

 

 

This is awesome, thank you!!

Anyone manage to get backstage afterward? I considered it to get my poster signed but decided against.. I figured they'd be making a pretty quick exit as they have another show today.

[2015.05.15- The Mayan, Los Angeles, CA, US]

Security doesn't know shit. Go to the next get guy. My friend and I are all over 21. We're all here, 5 rows of people from the barrier.

 

Yeah we both 29, they just wouldnt let him back after a beer run. Ah well he's happy up in the balcony

 

Me too!! center stage

 

Many big cameras here, wow. 4 behind me

[2015.05.15- The Mayan, Los Angeles, CA, US]

Uh they're not letting anyone under 21 on the floor. There are many over 21 here, make a stink if they shut you out!

[2015.05.15- The Mayan, Los Angeles, CA, US]

This line totally pales to the Webster hall line. Don't worry about rushing here!

[2015.05.09 - iHeartRadio Theatre, New York, NY, US]

I'm wandering NYC today, can be down there in a flash if a +1 opens up. I'd buy you a fancy dinner!!

[2015.05.08 - Webster Hall, New York, NY, US]

Definitely the heaviest Muse crowd I've ever partied with. I was one of the dudes on Chris' side (started on Matt's but migrated over)- I feel like we threw down the hardest of any show, ever. Was amazing. If any of you guys are reading this (you know who you are), you're amazing.

 

Gonna try to get into the iheart show tomorrow otherwise seeya in LA

[2015.05.08 - Webster Hall, New York, NY, US]

Definitely not the first show not to feature PiB. And I didn't hear any Space Dementia outro

 

Yeah I don't recall any space dementia

[2015.05.08 - Webster Hall, New York, NY, US]

Alright where we going for pints??

[2015.05.08 - Webster Hall, New York, NY, US]

In line now, it has wrapped onto 12st. Damn it's tough not to be nervous about floor!

[2015.05.08 - Webster Hall, New York, NY, US]

Gonna be in line around 6, think there'll be any issue of just getting on the floor period? I don't wanna be stuck in on a balcony!

[2015.05.08 - Webster Hall, New York, NY, US]

Judging by the right column of this page... is Bear Hands the opener? http://www.ticketweb.com/t3/sale/SaleEventDetail?dispatch=loadSelectionData&eventId=5805295&pl=webhall&REFID=whsite

 

EDIT: Confirmed in a tweet, they'll be opening.

 

uuuuugh I was really hoping for no opener.

[2015.05.15- The Mayan, Los Angeles, CA, US]

I like the way you think.

 

So um... for the 3 of us who got tix, we should try to meet up in line/inside or something?

 

Yeah sure, I don't plan on being down there till 1-2 hours preshow though. Anything around the Mayan in terms of eats/drink?

[2015.05.08 - Webster Hall, New York, NY, US]

My buddy attended this gig: http://musewiki.org/Calgary_MacEwan_Hall_Ballroom_2004_(gig)

 

I'm still not fully able to deal with it. He uses the ticket at a book mark and it makes me very jealous.

 

Hey I was at that show, was my first Muse gig :D

 

Oh wow Micro Cuts?? I don't have recollection of that.. Damn my awful memory!!!

[2015.05.16 KROQ Weenie Roast, Irvine, CA]

The video posted has NO mention of any songs being played.

 

"When we asked for The Small Print , Matt said nothing and smiled! This leaves a possibility of recurrence this piece."

 

I guess all some sheep need is a smile to confirm something. Get a grip.

 

Get a grip?? So they're playing Fury?!

[2015.05.08 - Webster Hall, New York, NY, US]

 

Fury counts right???? :D

[2015.05.08 - Webster Hall, New York, NY, US]

I've always found lining up is key for barrier, but if you're okay with hanging in/around the pits you can show up an hourish before. Which is my plan!

[2015.05.15- The Mayan, Los Angeles, CA, US]

My buddy had a broken ankle but still wanted to be in the pits. I still have massive respect for him from that day. Mayhem

[2015.05.15- The Mayan, Los Angeles, CA, US]

That show is so intense. I still have nightmares about it sometimes

Seriously though. By the end of the night I was the only girl in my section, cause all other girls either moved elsewhere or just left altogether.

 

It got incredibly sketchy towards the end. The swarms down the stands trying to overwhelm the security guards... The giant mosh pits with huge angry dudes... The bonfires, eventually helicopters. I feel like that one almost got outta hand.

[2015.05.15- The Mayan, Los Angeles, CA, US]

Oh right, fun times hopefully you won't be too hung over this time, that's the worst feeling ever.

 

Especially sitting out in the hot sun ALL DAY. That was such a marathon, then having RATM work the huge crowd up into a frenzy at the end. I was a shell of a human being at the end of that. Looking forward to a much more concise concert with a setlist that can only be better

[2015.05.15- The Mayan, Los Angeles, CA, US]

So I paid with my dads card, as long as he comes with me I will be able to get in with my friend right?

 

Yeah I read a guy in the NYC thread just needed his Mom's ID/Credit card to pick up. If your dad is physically there to get the tickets from will call you should be fine.

 

Still, it's worth a call ahead.

 

I remember chatting with you at LA Rising . You gave line updates for my friend and I, who were very hungover and slow moving

[2015.05.15- The Mayan, Los Angeles, CA, US]

REDACTED: Me foolishly posting about being excited to see Muse

 

Well at least we know the wonderful person who came in to tell us they're rich enough that they just felt like taking up spots at both NY and LA gets to go!

 

Neat, read this right after I posted. Maybe the reason nobody is posting about getting tickets is because it's so shitty in here. It's really hard to be a fan on these boards

[2015.05.15- The Mayan, Los Angeles, CA, US]

Yeah I don't mean to totally discount something fishy, just pointing out the presale numbers were about what you'd expect. For nobody to come forward with tickets for the general sale is definitely weird.

 

One big difference between the LA/NYC shows is that Muse have been known to spend a lot of time in LA, the VIP list has gotta be larger as a result.

[2015.05.15- The Mayan, Los Angeles, CA, US]

Unless they didn't post about it, no. I've seen like three people, literally...

.

 

Ok, well yesterday I had three browsers running and two of em came up with the opportunity to buy. I managed to get two tickets from one of those. I guess I'm just saying the 34 or whatever musers active in the thread may not be a large enough sample to call shenanigans. 3 of 34 is ~10%, which is not a crazy number for a 1000 person venue when Muse easily sells out arenas and stadiums.
