kueller Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 It's so weird why the dropped Reapers as a staple since they started the arena tour with it regular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Heat Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 In my opinion Reapers/Revolt it's a rotation cause they want to use JFK before them, as silly as it sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Am I imagining things, or weren't they not always playing Resistance back then, too? Sadly that ones a must in the US. They're hell bent on playing nearly the shortest gig possible, so I suppose people would be more pissed to drop tab or CE or something. I'm starting to believe Matt really can't handle too much longer of a gig, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 In my opinion Reapers/Revolt it's a rotation cause they want to use JFK before them, as silly as it sounds. I think it's just simply because they're from the new album, and expendable when it comes to visuals, or lack thereof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewisF Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 If Matt really is starting to struggle, I'd much rather they incorporated some songs such as Minimum or Piano Thing into the gigs rather than use up the same amount of time with multiple playbacks of Drones (the song obvs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicklord Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 My friend was there. He is a fan, not a big fan but knows all songs and doesn't like pop hits and he didn't know how stage looks, setlist, didn't know anything really... and he said that he loved drones dancing and fighter drone, setlist, visuals, security. Highlights: Citizen Erased, intro for SMBH and TaB+Mercy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weezul Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 If I end up not getting reapers on the first Manchester night, I will buy/swap +cash for some standing tickets for the second night. It's such an odd rotation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueEyedFloozy Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Back home, calmed down and have had some sleep now Here's the n00b perspective... I got there about bang on 5pm having been messed about by trains, and doors opened st 6pm. After buying a T-shirt and wandering about unable to find the entrance to GA, when I did finally get there I found myself on the third/fourth row at the "back" of the stage where the circle joins the catwalk, with piano to the left. I have never been that close before at any gig and I've been going to gigs for (Christ) 23 years Right chuffed!! Nothing But Thieves were like I said really good but I could barely hear the singer and the guitarist by me was having some real problems, poor guy. But they were very good. I feel like the Muse show started a bit earlier than usual, maybe only 10 minutes late? Anyway yeah started with Dance of the Knights as all the Drones were launched (all 10 globes) and got into position, then started their "dance" to Drones and...sorry but it was breathtaking and quite magical. And the second rendition of Drones works in context. And then suddenly from nowhere I was looking at Matt Bellamy like just THERE and lost my shit. :ahem: To me, Matt's voice held up really quite well. There were a couple of wobbles but meh, it's live, it's never going to be perfect. He does, erm, strain a lot facially I could see the entire stage except when Matt or Chris were up on the far arrowhead but that didn't bother me considering some views I've had in the past. Eight drones came out again for SBH, the visuals for The Handler were stunning (did notice the change in the solo but again, live), Dom and Chris were both pissing themselves laughing just before the jam, the people by me didn't know about the Globalist drone and went bonkers for it, a circle got started in Hysteria, Matt struts really well for such a tiny chap and the main thing I got was how much fun they seemed to be having. I don't mind crowd participation in songs, actually I really like it, so that didn't bother me. The crowd around me were REALLY into it (I just wish I could have chatted more but my German is practically non-existent). The only thing that could have improved it would have been the addition of SS, Bliss or CE; I was hoping for one of them. But I got Hysteria (my favourite), AP (amazing) and TaB and YES! Reapers instead of Revolt, phew They don't talk much though do they?! Mind you I don't blame them; I clam up in from of 2 people let alone 20,000. But no balloons! I adored it.

Buxomflirter Queef Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) Duuuude! If I'd known you were gonna be there I'd have met up with you! edit: Oh I just saw you said German so never mind I was seated. And apparently seated actually means seated which is a shame, surrounded by lots of dull and old people who only moved their arms to clap or take a picture. Visually it was a stunning place to be though. Edited March 8, 2016 by Queen of the Muse Board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueEyedFloozy Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Yeah I was in Cologne I had a bunch of Dutch people behind me though! I think now I've done GA I'd quite like to to watch it again but seated to get the full experience of the show, but I can't go to any more gigs. I did have a look at the seated people and there was quite a lot of bouncing going on; Matt actually pointed out some people who were going for it at the other end from me!

Hat Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Oh, but that was the case at some gigs, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanp16 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Yeah but so far it seems the rotations aren't very clear-cut. Paris 1; Eurasia Paris 2; AP Paris 3; CE Paris 4; B&H Paris 5; Eurasia Paris 6; CE, AP Cologne; AP Amst 1; CE; Eurasia From looking at it that's actually really good rotation. Edit; It seems to me that they've ditched the idea of rotating A with B, C with D etc and instead just picking a random group of non-fixed songs for a gig and just putting them wherever they fit best.

Mattestro Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 It would kinda suck to just get Eurasia, really hoping they play AP on the last O2 London date Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanp16 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Interestingly the gigs that just got Eurasia all had rather poor sets overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remco1993 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 One of the Dutch reviews of last night's show mentioned the setlist choices being worse than they could have been (which I agree with, though I still very much enjoyed the show) and then proceeded to call The Handler and Citizen Erased the worst songs in the set and praise Revolt.
