It helps when you never really leave inadequacy.

It wasn't rare ANYWHERE.
-
In the end though my favorite gig had the rarest song being Sunburn and to some extent for that tour, Plug In Baby.

You can get your tone back from a circuit by just stuffing it with capacitors anyways.

Since most of the gigs have been at the same venue. 2013 - T2L tour was fantastic. Fun performances all around. Longest setlist I've seen and it was structured greatly so even the lighter songs were well deserved. 2011 (Outside Lands) - B&H, CItizen, amazing Stockholm performance. Held back by a duller middle secion. 2009 (NSSN) - First time I saw the band. Short setlist but still powerful enough. New Born and US for a radio hosted concert night was fun. 2010 - Standard Resistance Tour had its own share of excitement but was still very stiff and years down the road was not all that memorable despite the huge stage production. 2015 (LA 1) - Kind of like above, but with fewer energetic songs to make up for it. 2015 (Oakland) - yeah

No other concert of comparative publicity, except maybe Werchter, got even close to what Download was. They clearly know how to be a powerful rock band, and regularly express their joy at being one, but most of the time choose against it.

I've said my own speculations before, but around 2009 there was a lot of hype by the band in the US. The Resistance Tour was supposed to be their breakthrough into the country and they had expressed the difficulty of it in the past. It worked and they became rather popular. Uprising was a hit, I heard it on TV, they were at the VMAs. I saw the first televised Muse concert (edited version of Teignmouth). They won the Grammy and did their first full arena tour here. Around the end of the tour that article came out. They seem to regret some of the methods of their popularity. The 2nd Law's promotion was much less and it showed. Madness got super popular, and that was kinda it. Their attendance rates weren't as strong and it's like they just got frustrated about it all. That's when some of the snarky comments started to show up.

I really liked Dead Inside live.
-
I would've gotten all of those on my first concert but apparently Trent crossed out Survivalism. Kind of like Muse crossed out Bliss. So I guess that's something Muse took from NIN.
-
Oh sure they played his request but remember what that song is actually called.
-
It's no Oakland.
-
I'm sure they'll do both.
-
Grim.

I think the band is trying to get rid of Jobby.

The stadium tour was good but there was the whole setlists polls that annoyed people all the way through. Most arenas were still pretty short as stated. The amount of riffs and jams weren't too different from the Interlude padding they do now. It's more than just song choice. And a lot of the same difference issues. Denver got a nice show but that was rare. Then only two concerts getting Dead Star and I think 3 getting Sunburn. In comparison, and just talking arenas, I think this UK tour has been better. Europe as a whole is debatable, as there's disparity there too. For the US I'd take the average Resistance arena show. It was more energetic.
-
Well it is the entire section except the vocals. But that's also the way Assassin has been played since 2007 so I always take that as a given.
-
Got around to wathcing the video. That wasn't the GOB version (having the interlude as an actual interlude). I was lied to.
-
Yes that's why that one review called it Zombie.
-
Also it was the actual JFK for Uprising.
-
So far we've had JFK into Reapers JFK into Revolt JFK into Stockholm Syndrome JFK into Interlude/Hysteria JFK into Assassin and only once have we had JFK into Defector.

This thread took a turn.

Still better the tour gets better eventually than having a Resistance Tour style of global bitterness until 2011. Just sucks there was this large, and likely self-aware, dip in quality in the middle. The ordering is still a mess though.
-
It was more than that, but it's been explained multiple times already.
