Best Hyper Music ever? :awesome:

 

Anything from the Montreux Jazz Festival is amazing. That was their best live show, imo. SOO much epic brilliance, including the awesome SS interlude :D!

 

Which reminds me... I'm gonna finish downloading the torrent from musebootlegs! I had it on my old laptop, but when I got a MacBook, it stopped working :(. Can't wait to get it back and watch the awesomeness in top quality! :D

No.

 

I have to say that Earls court is def. better than Glastonbury. I love this song and I think Earls Court is my favourite ever performance.

Firstly the guitar tone is far better in EC

The vocals are more prominent

The pre chorus is more crazy

There is generally more passion in matts voice

The last chorus is incredible when matt just sustains the chords while flailing his arm in the air. The last "forget you" is sustained to extra length. And the riffs last for longer at the end at EC (but unfortually these riffs are cut in the Absolution tour video)

 

The only thing that was better at Glastonbury was the scream which is still good at EC.

That.

 

The scream and riffs are better in Glasto 04, but the rest of the song is so much better at EC.

No.

 

:p

 

To be honest, I actually agree with many of your points. But my favourite part of SS Glasto, and what makes it the best ever live performance for me (and better than EC) is the outro. It's a fucking killer.

The first riff (the made-up one), is just brilliant, it pwns without a doubt.

Then you get the whole Chris in the crowd part and Matt on the drums... it was just the whole vibe and energy of the last 4 mins or so that made it epically awesome, plus the riffs and jams are better.

 

I know the same sort of stuff happened at Earls Court... but it doesn't sound as good, imo. It's still great, but the Glasto outro is epic, imo. THAT'S the crux of why it's better, for me, rather than the performance of the song itself.

 

That and the fact that the fecking outro of EC was practically cut from the Abso DVD - it's the best part and they just chopped and changed the footage :mad:. You don't see Chris go into the crowd/Matt and Dom on stage jamming/the carnage properly.

Stupid DVD also doesn't include any part of SS from Glasto on the DVD, the bastards, but at least you can see it all properly online thanks to BBC footage.

 

If you were to mix the main SS performance from EC with the outro from Glasto, you'd have the best performance in history! But as I don't hear a huge amount of differences between the main song (although the bits you mentioned are true... Matt's voice in EC has more passion, that last 'forget you' is epic and it's all much clearer), they're still very similar, so I go with Glasto.

 

However, you can ACTUALLY hear Chris speak in EC (when he says 'cheers'), which almost makes it win :LOL:.

 

 

Lol I rambled on!

Ok fair enough, But the thing is that SS is my favourite song of all time so I prefer the song to the outros.

 

And to make it perfect, You need the EC Song with the groove in the states scream. Flames to come out with the scream, then the Glastonbury Outros and a guitar smash. And it needs a take a bow intro and to be the final encore. :D

Lol, well if we're going that far, then yes, I'd say that would def be the best thing in history, ever :D. Apart from the TaB bit... that's always been my favourite opener - I can't see it as a closing track, it just doesn't work as effectively, imo.

 

Omg now I actually want to see/hear the 'perfect' version you mentioned, lol! Someone needs to do some amazing editing so we can experience that level of awesomes! :awesome:

I recon that:

 

Dead Star + micro cuts outro

Stockholm Syndrome + the version that I described

 

would also be awesome. I like Take a Bow opening but I really liked it at Wembley when it opened the second encore, I thought it was far better than KoC....
