But they're all pictures/video taking from the stage itself. I want an audience view. Someone better be periscoping. Is that even still a thing? Or do the kids use something else these days?

Luigi. Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) Setlist is definitely an improvement over the last US arena tour. Would have liked a few more deep cuts but oh well. Shame that there won't be much moshing during the medley since everyone will be distracted by the giant robot. Edited February 23, 2019 by Luigi.

Sucks to miss out ‘cos of that I'm friends with some international Musers, but no Germans. But at least my sister should come back from Australia next year, so I'll have my best gig buddy back.

Jobby Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) So TAB has finally been lowered 💔 probs a long time coming, tho it still sounds dope tbf. That tapping before the guitar drop needs to stay forever Haven’t found the jam yet, anyone got a link? Edited February 23, 2019 by Jobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kueller Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 There's something about these medleys, especially the new jam, that feels like they're just speedrunning their early career. I'm conflicted in that I like getting snippets of good and rare songs but also it feels like such a cheap presentation of these songs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lewislimes Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 whats the new song pray? reckon that'll get an actual release? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 Just heard the jam. So it’s a mini Futurism - US - Micro Cuts medley? Random-ish choices but ok, I’d have preferred something new and electronic though tbh, like an evolution of MK Jam or something. That said, I don’t mind the medley stuff. For the most part, these are songs that’d never see the light of day, especially over there. A nod to them is better than nowt imo and it’s almost a natural evolution of them filling out the set with cover riffs anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The transition between the riffs is very abrupt. But, well, it's always nice to hear more of the old material, even if it's just a snippet.

Jobby Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 Think we could well be seeing the return of Unsus tour length sets once they hit stadiums if they’re already doing 2 hours of 19 full songs, a 15 minute medley and 4 interludes, on top of the other little intros and outros. Except this time the album’s 1000x better. Ah if only I could be arsed to go back through months and months of posts to where I said I thought sets could be a fair amount longer with how short ST is and everyone doubted me 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frutiger75 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 at least resistance wasn’t played. and contrary to matt’s thinking, the crowd reacted decently well when snippets of older songs were played. and i agree about the speedrunning through their career bit. and not just re: the medleys. the whole gig felt like a race to the finish line, with very little let-up and a whole lot of insane stage production that almost overtakes the music at times. which is exactly what i expected.

Jobby Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 Which one is it then, though? ‘Cos with Drones the criticism was that they weren’t doing enough with the time they had, and now it’s that they’re doing too much and rushing. They’ve always been the kind of band to shut up and get on with it and, with such an elaborate production, they’ll have had to keep things v tight timing-wise. I think the fact they’re squeezing so much in is great, they’ve really listened and tried their best to fill the set out with more of their own stuff imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The show doesn't look as awful as I thought it would but then again maybe they're saving most of the dramatic dancing and performances for Europe, who knows. Pray is awesome though, getting such strong Abso vibes from interludes they played on that tour like TAB etc. The falsetto gave me chills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be. I did see a couple of other people mention Stranger Things but it’s all speculation at this point. However there is the Kyle Lambert connection which could point at Muse working with Stranger Things for a while on this. As far as black mirror goes, the only connection would be that Matt has talked about liking that show several times during interviews 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halo eighteen Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 The lack of Resistance, Something Human, Feeling Good, Undisclosed Desires, Guiding Light, Revolt etc is enough to make me not totally regret getting a ticket to this show lol. Hopefully the set won't be too static, but it seems like the production will kind of force that to be the case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 Looking at the set, I’d say TAB, BITM, Dig Down and maybe Hysteria are rotatable slots. Love the TAB > Starlight combo to close the main set btw, just a shame Prelude gets in the way. Was something I was gonna suggest before the show.

Clunge Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Should be Starlight > TaB though, ofc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kueller Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Having seen Take A Bow in a strange slot late last year it did a good job to at least alleviate the usual dullness of the mid-section. Unless you'd really rather have Dig Down>Madness>Mercy>TIRO>Starlight just cause it flows better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One the one hand, TAB’s a godly electro-rock behemoth that’s always a perfect climax but, on the other, Starlight coming after is a sweet mini recreation of the Black Holes transition and it’s nice to end on a more laid back classic while Matt greets the crowd. I’m assuming he did a barrier walk in Houston? My stream crashed out by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 So this set, how can we fix it? This is how with minimal changes: Algorithm (Alt. Reality) [Drill Sergeant] + Psycho Pressure Break It To Me Uprising Propaganda Plug In Baby [Pray] The Dark Side Supermassive Black Hole Interlude + Hysteria Map Of The Problematique Dig Down (Gospel) [Interstitial] [Houston Jam] Dead Inside Starlight Time Is Running Out Bliss (Ext.) Take A Bow / Knights Of Cydonia ----- Algorithm Medley Knights Of Cydonia / Take A Bow It could definitely do with a few more songs so maybe split the medley out into three full songs (Dead Star / New Born / Stockholm / Assassin / Handler, etc) and do that as it's own encore with some riffs and then come back for Algorithm and TaB/Knights.

Alesi08 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Yeah they should split the medley into two-three full songs and rotate between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
