Something interesting I don't think has been mentioned before, but Matt said 47.1% of voters voted for Showbiz, which got 683 votes, which would imply 1450 voted. SBE has a capacity of 2000. So 500+ people didn't vote?

Anyone done a comparison of New Born BPM from the other night with performances from TR / T2L / Drones?

As I take no interest in the technicalities of playing live please can someone explain to me what in-ear monitor recordings are?

 

The band basically wear little wireless earphone monitors, which allows them to hear everything they're playing clearly and provides a metronome to keep them in time (the click sound). You can basically connect to the monitor as well and record the audio if you have the right equipment.

In-ear monitor recordings.

That's me shouting "Glorious!!" when Dom introduces it

[2017.08.19 - Shepherd's Bush Empire, London, UK]

Just watched some videos. Christ, the crowd was boppin'.

[2017.08.19 - Shepherd's Bush Empire, London, UK]

Oh that reminds me I was waiting around for a bit afterwards hoping to meet Matt and Dom and heard some people legit complaining that they didn't play Dig Down or SMBH, because "it's just not a muse gig without smbh".

[2017.08.19 - Shepherd's Bush Empire, London, UK]

Still haven't slept in the past 30 hours so not in the mood to write a full review yet but can I just say how fucking amazing the venue staff were yesterday.

 

Edit: Also Too Many Puppies sounded sick.

[2017.08.19 - Shepherd's Bush Empire, London, UK]

Loved the guys laughing at the volume of the crowd singing.

[2017.08.19 - Shepherd's Bush Empire, London, UK]

Just gonna say it rn though, Easily was dull as dishwater.

 

Agreed for the most part, but thought the solo sounded great.

[2017.08.19 - Shepherd's Bush Empire, London, UK]

Died.

[2017.08.19 - Shepherd's Bush Empire, London, UK]

2nd row on Chris side

[2017.08.19 - Shepherd's Bush Empire, London, UK]

Finally got my Origin cover completed after only getting Matt + Dom at Mancs Academy

 

Edit: also shouted him to play COD, little effect ngl

 

Do you have a red backpack BTW?

[2017.08.19 - Shepherd's Bush Empire, London, UK]

MET CHRIS

[2017.08.19 - Shepherd's Bush Empire, London, UK]

They soundchecked a few minutes ago but couldn't make anything out.

[2017.08.19 - Shepherd's Bush Empire, London, UK]

Who's ready for COD? 🙋🏼

 

Which is DEFINITELY GOING TO GET PLAYED.

 

 

 

Well, now I'm just...shivering for me

 

Got super hyped for CoD last night.

 

Did you not bring some blankets or something?

 

These grey skies have me worried.

[2017.08.19 - Shepherd's Bush Empire, London, UK]

Christ, I'm shivering for you

 

Not as bad now, I'm wrapped in a sleeping bag.

[2017.08.19 - Shepherd's Bush Empire, London, UK]

Are you already there? Jesus, I don't finish work till 2 so won't be there till about half 6ish.

 

Got here at 11. Queue was about 100 long at that point

[2017.08.19 - Shepherd's Bush Empire, London, UK]

Wearing shorts. Freezing. Did not think this through.

[2017.08.19 - Shepherd's Bush Empire, London, UK]

Queuing now. Long story short I'm gonna be standing now

[2017.08.19 - Shepherd's Bush Empire, London, UK]

So when will people from here start queuing? I just can't be there the entire night, but I'm sure I won't be able to sleep either because I know there is people already.

 

Two of my friends are queuing for standing around 7am and said they'd let me know when people show up for the seats queue. I'll show up then.

[2017.08.19 - Shepherd's Bush Empire, London, UK]

Hysteria rehearsed

[2017.08.19 - Shepherd's Bush Empire, London, UK]

If that's a setlist.... Then there's only 13 tracks.

 

No Muse logo on the setlist so possibly just a practice list

[2017.08.19 - Shepherd's Bush Empire, London, UK]

Thunder now. Gonna assume some people will have scattered.

[2017.08.19 - Shepherd's Bush Empire, London, UK]

Oh it's Conor Oberst tonight. Yeah, they're definitely queueing for him then.

 

They're for Muse. Talked to a few of them.
