As usual this arena had appalling sound quality. Great stage show - everything visual was amazing. But the sound was just a fog of distortion and reverberation that ruined a great performance. The intro to Hysteria, for example, was just a blurry mess instead of the series of notes that I know Chris was playing.
Shame this sports venue is all that Manchester has to offer a band like Muse. I'll be travelling further afield in future.
