    Please don't put it on that live album pls EDIT: (because The Globalist should be chosen)
  2. Just got round to watching in HD. Positive but slightly mixed feelings. The performances of the songs themselves were pretty good. The Globalist was amazing, but otherwise the highlights of the set were really no different to those of the 2010 gig, with all the old favourites pulling the strings (as usual, SS was wonderful). Having IS, JFK, Interlude, Drones and Munich Jam in there was a big mistake. I never felt it was an exceptional performance in the way that Reading 2011 or Download 2015 was - if you don't understand what I mean by that, watch this performance: [YT]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a61VQ22ctFc[/YT] which was much better than anything on Friday.
  3. I was hoping they'd change country again for a filmed gig, maybe to Berlin or Madrid or even Mexico . I'm sure this will be nice, it's just the whole 4K Italy gig thing provides a bit too much of a sense of deja vu.
  4. For me Glorious was the only one of those 2004/5 songs which ended up sounding better on record. More annoyed about Crying Shame than Assassin given we eventually got GOB. This is my favourite version (with best audio I could find). Particularly love the "wooh"s after the chorus. [YT] [/YT]
  5. Is there any chance anyone could find a way to get me a flac or mp3 version of the TaB performance? I am completely useless with torrents and this one won't download
  6. Yep! Edited my original post. Think it's basically over now, not enough time for Knights. EDIT: Supermassive Black Hole to bring things to a close
  7. Listening now - so far they're playing radio versions of hits in chronological order from Showbiz (it's on Absolute Radio atm) EDIT: The great Matt laugh returns at 1h53min! Through the live tracks, gawd, the mix is pretty bad. Very bass-heavy and vocally quiet. Also I think TaB is from the 15th, Matt talks about breaking the attendance record. SS from the 11th. Good set of songs broadcast: Dead Inside, Hysteria, TaB, Plug in Baby, Psycho, Reapers, The Handler, Undisclosed Desires(...), Stockholm Syndrome (+ Township Rebellion, yay), Mercy
  8. Anyone bother to rip the audio? Guessing the songs played were only hits but would be cool to have a listen anyway
  9. List time! Gonna go worst-to-best. 7 - Horse Guard's Parade, 2013: this was a lot of fun, but it was never going to be anything other than bottom of the list because it was so short and contained only hits I'd seen days earlier 6 - O2, Night 1, 2012: the first (and only) time I have ever been seated at a Muse gig, and spent most of it annoyed that I wasn't standing. The performance was pretty great, got a good set with Sunburn and a fantastic version of SS instead of NB (SS being my favourite Muse song) 5 - Emirates 2, 2013: Good memories of this - first time seeing Map, Hysteria sounding surprisingly massive and best of all, Butterflies and Hurricanes. (I really wasn't too bothered about seeing Sunburn again, and don't think I will be in future). Got SS instead of NB again The gig seemed to go on for ever and ever. One thing noticeable was how badly songs such as Follow Me and Panic Station came off; the sense even quite far back in the crowd was "ok, this is nice, but hurry up and be over so we can hear something heavy or rare plz" 4: Reading Festival 2011: My first Muse gig. This should be closer to number 1, but I can't remember a great deal about it. Stuff comes back in fragments: the feeling when the drums in NB kicked in and the screen went dark blue, as the crowd suddenly became this thrilling and scary surging thing; amusement at Matt chucking his guitars so early in the gig; everyone singing the intro "Woooh"s in Hyper Music (); everyone talking during Screenager and SS being absolutely mindblowing with the big screen and pyro. 2 = : O2 14/4 and 15/4, 2016: I can't separate these gigs, which were two of my favourite nights of the last year or two. I thought the setlists had almost perfect balance: the Drones songs came off brilliantly live and the hits didn't drag too much. Barely any cheese section as well. Seeing Assassin on Thursday was a surreal experience, I can scarcely believe it now. Wasn't actually too amazed by AP live, but I was miles away from the piano and the crowd were pretty tame. On Friday things were much more lively (but apparently only in the area where I was?) and enjoyed a mental rendition of SS with the moshpit crowd. The biggest highlight was Take a Bow, the one song I'd wanted to see the most from before the tour even started - it evens up both nights for me. 1: Exeter, 2015: Pretty much the perfect experience. The train through the countryside in the evening sun, the climb up the hill to the hall with other fans - it was all magical. I can't describe how amazing the atmosphere was during the opening half of Psycho, which is still my favourite live music experience ever. The setlist was beyond my wildest dreams and the crowd rose to the occasion too, particularly for MM, Futurism and Bliss. Along with the two O2 nights it pretty much covered every single Muse song I'd realistically want to see live, with the maybe the exception of Fury and Dead Star.
  10. This is so great It mirrors so many of my thoughts about the gigs I've attended. I wish I'd been a bit older and had appreciated R&L more (I was at Reading). TaB was also the song I was absolutely dying to see - I didn't want to post about it on here before the gigs last week in case I jinxed it. Emirates 2 was so special as well, a lovely day all round.
  11. Muse should do the equivalent of Bowie's Sound + Vision tour: play all their commercial radio hits at every gig for one tour and then 'retire' them all and only play newer material or deep cuts for the next 10 years (am only semi joking)
