forevermusic Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I'm sure Matt could find a way to make it worse. Maybe he'll have Chris play it on acoustic guitar while he walks around. To be fair I didn't mind the similar version of Unintended at the Emirates Stadium, or at least the bit that was just Matt singing and Chris playing a Fender Strat before the bizarre electronic bassline came in and sounded shit. Then again, Blackout on the same tour and most Starlight performances since... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nipso Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 With the falsetto A4s I'm sure he will. And don't think it's in the touring rig but he could easily just get one. Is it really worth it with falsetto A4s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Is it really worth it with falsetto A4s?I really like the 2006 performances tbh. Especially when it means he'll give the G4s one hell of a go. But I wonder if asking for CoD will just give Matt a super easy excuse to not play it (the guitar). So I'm trying to think of what else we could ask for as a collective. We've done Dead Star, Fury and Assassin. Showbiz didn't work and we've done CE and Bliss to death. Maybe Darkshines? HTAILY? Endlessly (would love that one tbh) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyP117 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 We tried with Muscle Museum as well and got one or two performances, wish we got more as it sounded brilliant imo. Darkshines was the surprise highlight of Leeds 2011 for me, it's not one from OoS I listen to often but the live version is phenomenal, would be more than happy if they started giving it a go again. If not CoD I'd also like Endlessly and Sing for Absolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewisF Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 RBS, SD or TOADA imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Is it really worth it with falsetto A4s? In a word: yes So I'm trying to think of what else we could ask for as a collective. We've done Dead Star, Fury and Assassin. Showbiz didn't work and we've done CE and Bliss to death. Maybe Darkshines? HTAILY? Endlessly (would love that one tbh) Holy fuck would I be down for HTAILY (y'all know I've championed a piano version big time). I feel like it's a bit too niche even for the hardcore fanbase though, I feel like hardly anyone would get behind it. I do agree that COD would be too easy for Matt to say no to though (needs an acoustic, trumpet solo, maybe too obscure), as much as that'd be my first choice. Dark Shines would be a shout, t'was fucking amazing at Leeds. Trying to think of other easy ones; TSP and TOADA maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyP117 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 TSP and TOADA would be good...they don't seem too difficult vocally? Also, the return of Hoodoo to the piano section is long overdue. Edit: forgot about the trumpet in CoD, it won't happen but they should bring Dan back so he can do it on Knights as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I sacrifice a megaphone to the gods every night whilst praying for the return of Hoodoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 TSP and TOADA are both pretty simple vocally, especially since Chris does the hardest parts of TSP (mostly so Matt has time to breathe). Would love to see them both back. Edit: and I do think that if we're gonna ask for something as a fanbase, it should be an energetic song, something that even casuals who don't know it might enjoy. Much easier to convince Muse of bringing something back if it actually gets a reaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobby Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Wish they whipped that cover out more often (or...ever). Looks like it'd be a reet romp.

Boombleeb Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Supermassive black hole at Shepherd's bush 2006 is definitely the best performance of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewisF Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Agreed. Take A Bow was also ace at that gig, probably my favourite performance of that too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forevermusic Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I'd rather see Can't Take My Eyes than Feeling Good. Bit weird it only ever seems to be performed in Japan, mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthijs Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 What do you people consider to be the best version of Mercy? (if such a thing exists in your opinion) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyP117 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I thought the Jools Holland version was very good. Matt's vocals were great and he didn't sound strained like he did on the tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frozenbanana Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I thought the Jools Holland version was very good. Matt's vocals were great and he didn't sound strained like he did on the tour. Yep, either of these (personal fave the Graham Norton one for how it looks). To be honest, without any stupid "CLAP ALONG WITH ME GUYS!" and confetti, the song itself goes up a fair bit in my estimation...

nerd herd Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Yeah, Jools Holland Mercy is the best performance. The confetti this tour was cool, but the cannons made it hard to hear the song sometimes Also The bass sounds especially good in this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqSgPh_t_MQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 That's because the backing track is so high in the mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozza Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 TSP and TOADA would be good...they don't seem too difficult vocally? Also, the return of Hoodoo to the piano section is long overdue. Edit: forgot about the trumpet in CoD, it won't happen but they should bring Dan back so he can do it on Knights as well. I saw CoD at Nottingham Arena where the trumpet solo was replaced by a guitar solo. Apparently Muse changed the set last minute to do the album in order and Dan had the night off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyP117 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Ah interesting, I had no idea they had ever performed CoD without it...I saw it live at Wembley '07 with Dan and thought that was how they always did it. I can imagine the guitar solo sounding good live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duk3 Fluk3m Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 (edited) Supermassive black hole at Shepherd's bush 2006 is definitely the best performance of it As Lewis said, TaB was great too, mainly because they kept the feedback at the end for this gig, and launched straight into Hysteria. Amazing. EDIT: Thanks for sharing that, Tjet. Never seen that performance of CoD before. Epic guitar solo AND an epic A4.
