Farelial Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 In Kaisaniemi Park - the atmosphere was fantastic!
LyraSilvertongue Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Mk Ultra and US live. The pyramid stage. Seeing Muse for the first time and meeting so many lovely Musers.
Gohenko Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 In Kaisaniemi Park - the atmosphere was fantastic! Yeah, and we also had Bliss! But, there were some cons too about that gig...
JessicaSarahS Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Knights was great with Matt's deeper voice, Unnatural Selection was great because they decided to play it, and the light show was spectacular. And making a lot of new friends on tour.
Farelial Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Yeah, and we also had Bliss! But, there were some cons too about that gig... We also had balloons Silence Don't ruin my utopia. (And this meant to positive)
AguanteRiver Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 And making a lot of new friends on tour. THIS. Muser meets made this tour, especially in the US where the die-hard fans are so far away from each other. Other positives: -The visuals. Hexagons, towers, or gigantic freaking pyramid, they were all beautiful, especially from the cheap seats. The laser show at LA Rising was so awesome! I can still remember the multicolored lasers flying over me and the rest of GA zone 1. -Matt's voice. HELLO, maturity! Every song sounds massive these days. -Unnatural Selection. Glad I got to see it twice, before it became a "rarity". It's a beast. -The return of Butterflies and Hurricanes, Citizen Erased, and Ruled by Secrecy. -United States of Eurasia. I was kind of "meh" about it on the album, but it's a different beast live, especially when it gets loud. -Morgan!
sprocketeer Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 -United States of Eurasia. I was kind of "meh" about it on the album, but it's a different beast live, especially when it gets loud. Was gonna mention this one. TBH, I hated United States of Eurasia after the whole scavenger hunt, but that thing is immense live. Not every Resistance track followed this fate of great live translation, of course. (Undisclosed Desirezzzzzzzzzzz, anyone?) But that, Unnatural Selection, and Uprising (gets points for the outro riff) worked very well live.
L. Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Oxegen (PiB baby opening, brilliant KoC, Dom dressed as Lady Gaga), Casino de Paris (tiny venue, 1st IBTY) and Lievin (brilliant performance + Halloween costume). The beefy sound and the TaB laser show in Kiev.
hipbones Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Meeting the americans! Such good memories. OH. I was eye-sexed by Bellamy.
Liz0_o Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Going to wembley and meeting awesome new friends
M[US]E Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 I personally loved how the band changed as the Resistance Tour went on. Hearing Uprising for the first time live in Philadelphia was amazing, until I compared it to hearing it in Newark almost a year later. You can tell they added more effects to Chris's vocals, turned up the bass/drums, added the riff outro which makes everyone happier. Just the overall performance of each song and how it was made more intense as time went on. A great memory that I have from New York was seeing Matt look at me (my direction...) and smile. I smiled back and pointed, thinking he was only looking at me and noticed how I was having an amazing time.
IamtheUniverse Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Honestly, Wembley 2nd night. Given the night before's set and the lack of variety, I still can't believe they played the set they did. Incredible. Only huge stand out for me, probably because I went though.
jackparker Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 I have been to lots of gigs where rarities and B-sides where played. Not that it proves anything. Sorry old quote I know. Your profile says you've only been to 2 shows, so how can that be?
IamtheUniverse Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Unfortunately, for me, there are an equivalent number of downsides that has detracted from these points - MK Ultra and Unnatural Selection have almost disappeared between late last year and this year, certain gigs were hugely unbalanced compared with those preceding and succeeding them, the setups restricted movement and spontenaity, too many riffs and jams, GUIDING LIGHT, setlists not even being varied in terms of order, let alone actual songs, some older songs have lacked punch (Hysteria and Stockholm come to mind), Matt's not playing the New Born intro, they use click tracks for almost every song which makes every performance almost identical and feel less 'live', setlists haven't been appropriately tailored to circumstances (LA Rising), I Belong To You was played only about 3/4 times across the whole tour, the band failed to reproduce Exogenesis live, headline and festival gigs have become one and the same, the band largely ignored last summer's setlist poll, etc etc etc. Sorry, but it's just true. The idea was the positives.
Clunge Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 The idea was the positives. Read my post properly then, foo'.
futurellama Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Sorry old quote I know. Your profile says you've only been to 2 shows, so how can that be? He meant in general, not just Muse.
jtruns Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 My first overseas trip came of it (Wembley '10). Making friends in the UK I'm looking forward to see in a week
Hat Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Sorry old quote I know. Your profile says you've only been to 2 shows, so how can that be? The argument was about OTHER bands than Muse
aMU5Eme Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Got the chance to have exogensis part 1 as an opener. Got to see Take a Bow as a closer. Got to hear CE live. Really seeing these two gigs strengthened my love of Muse even more, which could be a good thing or a bad thing .
