I love the Absolution one

I remember just looking at Dom through most of Glorious with that biiiiiiig beautiful smile of his and my heart kind of bursting for him

I had it even worse. I got tickets for the first two shows, and figured that would be fine, then they announced the other three. So I had a choice of either the first night, assassin night or the shit setlist night. Obvs decided the very first one would probably suck, but then I chose the shit one, on the basis that second nights usually got the better setlist. fuckin muse.
I passed up the opportunity for a Montreux ticket last year. Fuckin' me.
(And yep, I saw them in 1999 as well; you're nowt special. That big there gap in my gig attendance was mostly due to illness, before you have a go at me for that.)

Ah I see. Heh I knew about the click track but *ahem* didn't realise they heard themselves playing oh god I'm so dim. Now everything makes sense Thanks for indulging my ignorance!

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

So that was only my second Muse gig ever and first in four years...luckily my third is only a week away!
As much as I loved them at Emirates, there's a massive difference between seeing them far away in a huge arena surrounded by casuals who only know a couple of songs, to being almost at the front of the stage in a mad crowd of fans singing along to EVERY WORD. Not just my best Muse gig ever but up there with one of the best I've seen by any band, ever.
Random thoughts/moments:
* Pretty much destroyed my voice screaming to Muscle Museum, so was pleased it got played early on. Apologies to any around me I deafened but hearing that alone immediately made the £88 more than worth it.
* The huge grin on Dom's face while playing Glorious!
* Butterflies & Hurricanes summed up the Emirates Stadium/SBE difference perfectly. People around me standing around chatting at Emirates ignoring the song, versus several hundred screams of "BEEEEESSST!!!!! YOU'VE GOT TO BE THE BEEESSSST!!" at SBE...an easy winner!
* Citizen was my 11th choice and it was slightly painful that it narrowly missed out on my top 10, as desperate as I was to hear it I wanted to prioritise rarer tracks. I've always wondered if it sounds as good live as on OOS...YES IT DOES. Damn at that ending!!
* Goosebumps at that first "Controlling my feelings for so long..."
* I'm guessing Hysteria acted as a substitute for FAWY and/or Eternally Missed, given how closely linked it is to both songs (previous album track/B-side). Wonder if they attempted to rehearse them or immediately decided they wouldn't work? Either way it still sounded great - they picked the right staples to include among the rarities, something like Starlight would have been fairly anticlimatic!
* New Born was my 14th - missed it (and Dead Star) at Emirates by one day, so the first time I'd heard it live! After those million riffs (+Yes Please, in my top 10 but didn't expect for a second they'd actually do it!) I'd be happy even without an encore, but cus of spoilers I knew at least one more was coming...
* LOL at Matt's passive aggressive intro to S4A, I got the feeling he's not a huge fan of it Amazing to hear - one of the first songs of theirs I ever heard, as already exhausted as I was by now.
* Of all the non-rarities they play my fave Muse song of all time with Plug In Baby!! Was expecting to wait a week to hear it so fantastic to get it at SBE!
* My attempt to sing along to Futurism ended in a hilarious croak, my voice was totally gone by then. As others have mentioned loved the intro, someone near me thought it was a new song!
* A ton of people left when the harmonica started so I could finally get right to the front in time for Knights. Again, the "regular" tracks were picked perfectly, keeping the energy going and the mass jumping around during the second half was a perfect end to the evening.
Thanks to all I met during my eleven hour queuing experience and looking forward to what they'll give us in seven days time!
I usually hate me too posts but me too, pretty much all of it! Although that was me getting pulled out at the beginning of the second encore coz of impending panic attack (no thanks to the barrier people who refused to move so the security could get me out, thanks for that )
Dom's face in Glorious was pretty much the whole way through In fact all of them seemed to enjoy the hell out of the whole gig and I loved watching them do so.
I think one of the best things as the first five or six songs unfolded was realising fuck me they're actually doing this!!

Ugh so much pain this morning
-
Third row for me

At train station... I'M ON MY WAY
-
If you are, come in front of me. I'm nice like that, mostly.
-
Stalls here, but 6'2 so shouldn't be too much of a problem!
I bet I'm stood behind you
-
Oh. All makes sense now.

I am absolutely bricking myself with anxiety

Download was great but, if you go back and look at some of the expectations, they were a lot bigger than what ended up happening iirc Not impossible for something similar to happen here, if you give into temptation and hope for a whole set of madness.
That's quite the low bar there mate.
-
I'm selling my ticket for this if anyone's interested (in the MuseBay thread)
-
Yes, some more songs were added to the choices. It's only Part 1 of Exogenesis.
-
Also, please, anything but Easily :'(. It's just SO shit.
Oh thank god someone else said it

Fuck's sake. No MK Ultra but RBS is there, and I've already voted. Would have RBS over half what I voted for any day.

I am so heartened by the amount of votes I'm seeing for Eternally Missed!
