DifferentPerson Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 So, now that we have Survival, how do you guys think it will fit into live performances (if it is played live at all)? Do you think they will have extra musicians or a choir onstage, or will it all be done by Morgan? Whereabouts in setlists do you think it will end up? Could it be a concert opener, closer, or neither? Discuss!

Clunge Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Doesn't feel like an opener or closer to me. Could work as the transition song from piano back to guitar, put in some epic buildup before the song kicks off at 1.25. That would rock - Matt starting on piano and the switching to guitar .

mapoftheglorious Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Not sure how it will be performed live yet but it will definitley be played live. It will be getting worldwide exposure and plus theyre performing it at the closing ceremony so it will be well rehersed by the time the tour comes round. It will be a beast live, im sure of that.

Dockertae Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 It's definitely one I'm looking forward to, as the olympic song I'm assuming it'll be played at every gig this year at least. I can see it closing sometimes but I might be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mounta1nGoat Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I think it will have to have some kind of combination of fireworks and fire due to the nature of it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillyracer Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Wonder how he's going to do the piano parts, just let Morgan play them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little different and hopefully (for me) not that cheesy... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niall Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I kind of hope it is the closer so I can beat the rush to the trains after every muse gig for the next few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EXOPOLITICIAN Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 As I said somewhere else, just so as you know, instruments will be prerecorded at all performances in the Olympic Stadium because of the bad sound quality or something so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TERZi Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Yeah, in middle of the setlist. Could work as the transition song from piano back to guitar, put in some epic buildup before the song kicks off at 1.25. That would rock - Matt starting on piano and the switching to guitar . Right!!

MartinSM Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 It's going to be very interesting to hear live, with the choir, strings and backing vocals toned down and hopefully the intro will sound better. It'll be worth it just for the solo alone. It's really not an opener or closer though, could work as the transition back to guitar as has been said, but they normally do softer songs after the piano section, Could Matt reuse the NSC keyboard?

Doubt it. Not what Danny Boyle would want and the acoustics in this stadium should be top notch for what it's built for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjartrod Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I think the intro in piano will be skipped. This is going to be a monster live. Looking forward to hear that moment when the guitar kicks in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FabriPav Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 http://www.gigwise.com/news/72216/Coldplay-Rolling-Stones-set-to-mime-at-Olympic-gig What they say is: "Due to the complexity involved, it's just not possible for the music in all the shows to be live," said the spokesperson. "There will be live musical elements but many of the songs will be recorded in advance. This is standard practice for an event of this scale." Not everything. So they could still be playing. And from all the bands that will play, Muse are the less likely to accept to mime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
