  1. Verona is nailed on for Glasgow they only rotated it with Liberation on the two-night arena dates in the US. I love Knights but I’m tired of it as a closer. I think they should move it to close the main set. Part of the reason why I enjoyed the 2nd Law stadium tour was because Knights was so early in the gig and it felt refreshing. They should ditch the harmonica as well, it’s become so dull now. My fingers are crossed for Map tonight but to be honest, anything other than Bliss in the rotation slot.
  2. It’s been removed from Setlist fm now but I can see Matt doing something like that…when they could just play the actual song. It’s all been autopilot at the moment Second and final UK show of the tour for me tomorrow and it’s potentially going to be the first time I’ve ever seen them play the exact same set as before. I hope I’m wrong.
  3. Honestly? The new songs really impressed me in Plymouth; this album works so well in a live environment. KobK especially, wow. The setlist is all over the place though. I thought they might drop the Resistance/UD rotation slot and they’ve ended up playing them both. Bliss/Map is good but they just seem on complete autopilot at the moment. Stockholm and New Born have vanished…it’s for ustrating when they could so easily add in another rotation of two. I have no idea why UD is sticking around when it’s such a buzzkill live. I don’t think we’ll see Ghosts performed and feel like Euphoria is being skipped because it’s tough to sing. Hoping for Map at the Huddersfield show but with it currently being 50/50, I’ll be annoyed if it’s the exact same set as Plymouth. Only 20 full songs for a stadium show with ticket prices this high? That’s not sitting right with me either.
  4. Looking forward to Plymouth. It's a long drive down for us but it'll be my partner's first time seeing them and I think she'll have a blast. I think the current tour setlist is 2-3 songs away from being great. Hoping they maybe see these outdoor shows as an incentive to play a couple more songs as, for some reason, the band seem to think that the bigger venues warrant longer sets. To be honest, if they added two of Bliss/MotP/New Born/Stockholm or Assassin that'd be brilliant and easy to do as they're well-rehearsed. I also wonder if they'll celebrate Absolution's 20th anniversary a bit more for the UK/European shows?
  5. Yeah so they say. I know they feed off the songs which get a bigger reaction but I wish they had more faith in their entire catalogue. If one song out 20 doesn't get the biggest of cheers, is that really too much of an issue? What gets me is they still insist on playing every big hit of theirs. Most of these shows on this tour haven't sold out which means the casual audience aren't going to see them like they used to (I think we can all agree the band's peak in popularity is well over) so really...they should throw in some more fan favourites. Maybe it's on me as I've seen them so many times over the years but it's frustrating when so many great songs don't even get a look. And god damn do I miss a dedicated piano slot.
  6. It appears that during my short time with the Muse Reddit, most constructive criticism results in downvotes. So here goes: - The sets aren't too bad...about what I expected. They band seem on great form and overall Id say thery're far better than on the ST tour (all the new album songs seem to translate really well). Splitting the rotations over two slots would be better IMO .Bliss/Map, CE/Space Dementia (played somewhat recently), Stockholm/New Born. - It's all subjective but how on Earth is Thought Contagion still around? - I have no problem with more instrumentals/vocal breaks for Matt but these slots should be in addition to proper songs, not taking up song slots. - Is there a single song (not counting the new album songs) that wasn't a single? Why are they still so adverse to playing non-singles at their own shows? - Matt's declining voice is definitely a thing...so why soundcheck two songs that are very vocally challening for him these days? Not sure what he's thinking there. Still really looking forward to Plymouth and I suspect there may be a few changes for the European dates.
  7. Not sure why Madness was cut, I didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary during the live stream. Tbh, I wish they would drop it completely since Matt doesn’t even try the chest A4s now but I suppose without them it does make the song one of the easiest songs in the entire set. Matt’s voice was really noticeable at this gig I thought. He started pretty well but those high falsettos on CE, TIRO and PIB were not pleasant to listen to, it looked like it was causing him a lot of discomfort. I’ve not seen him struggle that much since those dreaded 2014 shows when he had laryngitis. Oddly, he seemed okay by Knights which has lots E5s (like TIRO) and they were fine (or, as fine as they’ve been since his vocal decline began). Gotta give it to him for the rest of the set, he was giving it his all. First pro-shot I’ve watched all the way through in a long time and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing them on-stage again.
  8. It's been a while. Just when I thought I was out...they pull me back in. So this is sounding spectacular so far. Comfortably the heaviest thing they've done going from the clip, I'm so glad they've started to experiment with some different tunings other than drop D and standard, I feel they've exhausted all the riffs in those tunings. Some C tuning stuff would be great too. Matt sounds incredible and I'm perfectly fine with Chris doing any live vocals if it means Matt goes all out in the studio. I burned out hard on the ST era because of (like Drones) it was such a long and drawn out build-up and by the time of the album release I'd heard most of the songs. I hope they keep this one close to the chest and, after one or two singles, drop the whole thing.
  9. First sign-in ages but I had to comment on that four-hand version of Take A Bow, just brilliant. I honestly thought he would have played it half a step down. He nailed that final third so much. Even without the vocals it's a great little rendition.
  10. Along with U2's Where The Streets Have No Name, Bridge Over Troubled Water is my favourite song of all time so I consider myself lucky to see Matt give both of them a go! His version of Bridge and feels different enough from the original (the guitar intro is lovely) but he omitted some sections and sings the wrong lyric in the final section, which puzzles me. Good vocals though, I had a feeling he would lower it by a half step but he does a fine job of the extended note at the end. I hope he considers playing it live (preferably on the piano) at some point in the future :)
  11. They had a Bliss/Showbiz rotation last night. Dom shouted out the songs and the loudest cheer won. Just like they did with the French by request show a while back. Sadly, they had to skip the metal medley to save time due to bad weather.
  12. He looked like he was struggling in Mexico. The final falsetto was good but he sounded pretty gassed on the chest notes.
  13. Wow, this looks awesome. Completely forgot about it.
  14. The Resistance stadium outdoor shows were all bloody fantastic, as was the stage for the festival run. Simple, effective and didn't hold back the band from mixing up the sets. Watched of a multi-cam of the second Wembley night 2010 last night (with the rotations from night 1 included) and it brought back so many great memories, by far the best 'standard' performance I've ever seen them give. Of course, Leeds 2011/Psycho tour/SBE were special occasions but they really were on fire that night. MK Ultra, Map and my first performance of Bliss all back to back, Matt's People of the Sun into and the outro tapping in Hysteria, the Glasto '04 riff in CE and RBS (my all-time fav) completely out of the blue...they were brilliant that weekend but seemed more loose than on the first night. Top 5 Muse gig, maybe even top 3. And yet, for all the controversy at the time, looking back...the first night's set was also no slouch.
  15. They're touring until mid October right? There's a decent gap in August, mind. Hoping for some more 'by request' shows.
