JonDecolongon Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 Man, I was so hyped when the concert ended I didn't even notice that I dropped my T-shirt under my chair. Anyone know where I can get another one? I can't find it anywhere online, it's the black one with a photo of the band in white. The only bad thing on an otherwise amazing night. :\ Try the rock shop on Granville street
darkshines* Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 I was so pissed at the people around me....I understand if you're new to muse but what's the point of stranding in my way near the front if you don't know any songs , and looking at your phone the whole time?! Agree completely. My intention to was avoid the barricade b/c I didn't wanna get squished and shoved around too much by crazy MUSE fans (not that there's anything wrong with that, I just don't wanna get all bruised up). So I hung around the very right side in front of Chris, but the dudes right up at the barricade barely even wiggled... gosh maybe the last third of the set did they bop their head a bit. Hell I should've just made my way up so I could get a better view without their heads blocking my way (I'm too short). All in all, I still enjoyed myself. LOVE Chris' teal bass!! Also wished for Save Me instead of Liquid State.... that song doesn't do anything for me. TIRO back to back with SS and Matt sexing the riff right before my eyes but by then my ears were semi-deaf and couldn't hear vocals very well. (Or does SS just sound better on recording?) Hope you all had fun!
BouncyCastle Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 I can't believe that show, it was absolutely off the wall, I got to shake his hand during Undisclosed Desires AND I got a pick! Easily the best concert experience I've ever experienced. On a seperate note, anyone have footage of Undisclosed Desires/pictures?

Hell I should've just made my way up so I could get a better view without their heads blocking my way (I'm too short)..... Barrier is the BEST place if you're short -- the 3 gals next to Rog were barely 5 feet tall and had a stellar view of the whole show! BTW some of us on the barrier didn't move much because we were in there like sardines! My forearms are one big bruise, but so worth it! Plus I took a few vids (gocanux47 on YT) and had to be still -- so hard! The security guard in front of us gave me a guitar pick that had fallen on the floor, and sneaked me a folded-up setlist out of his pocket! Another benefit of being up front. (And Rog got a MB hand-slap, nice!)
canuckmuser14 Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 Great show, Stockholm Syndrome and Uprising blew me away! I wish the two morons behind me stopped yapping though. Otherwise it was perfect.
jbyun04 Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 Here's a few of my shots. 2 of them are instagrams as you can see These were taken with my iPhone 5
JonDecolongon Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 I hate ranting, but I just feel alienated that they didn't play more of their older songs I know they're trying to promote the new album, but look at the Chili Peppers. Their setlist here was so diverse, and they played all the classics! Muse only played ONE song from Origin of Symmetry, and two songs from Absolution. I hate feeling a sense of elitism, but I just hate how the NEW Musers are just going to think MUSE is just an electronic pop band, when really, they have a wider sound than that...they played almost ALL of 2nd Law, and it would have been nice to see more songs from Origin or Absolution..... BTW, nice pictures! I was near the front in front of Chris, but too many tall people in front of me....

You should really give new fans more credit.... I mean we were all new fans at once, and we listened to older stuff too, no reason to think that newer fans wouldn't either.

gocanux Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 Our neighbors on the barrier might see themselves in this clip -- a bit shaky, we were buffeted quite a bit up there! It gets really wibbly-wobbly when Chris threw a handful of guitar picks, most of which ended up on the floor in front of the barrier. "Our" security guy gave me one!
jbyun04 Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 As much as I enjoyed the gig, I kind of left with a bad taste in my mouth. Last time they were here in 2010 I remember not even being able to BREATHE by the 4th song. They've definitely toned the rocking down and there were less outro riffs. Maybe some prefer that but that's part of my enjoyment of Muse's live performances.. they finish a song and just decide to jam out for a bit and it sounds great. To me the gig just felt very business like. Kind of like "OK boys we're here. Let's do our thing and get the hell out of here." 2010: Uprising Resistance New Born + YYZ riff + Headup riff + Micro Cuts riff Map of the Problematique + Maggie's Farm riff Supermassive Black Hole Interlude + People of the Sun intro + Hysteria + Testify intro + Back in Black riff 2013: Unsustainable Supremacy Supermassive Black Hole Panic Station Resistance Plug In Baby This also made me realize they didn't even play Hysteria..

To be fair, I think the individual performances of the songs themselves were better than the first time. Supermassive Black Hole was fucking amazing this time, while it felt like nothing special the last time.
