A lot of people have 'fast song, fast song, slow song, fast song, slow song' and setlists really don't work like that. I'm of the opinion that Undisclosed and Resistance should always come together ala Resistance then Undisclosed Desires or visa versa. They're both slower songs but they work well off each other. Resistance is to this album what Invincible was to BH&R and should follow off the Piano Interlude in my opinion. Just an observation.

 

My ideal setlist wouldn't include either of them.

 

If Resistance has to be played then yeah the 'Invincible' slot, opening an encore or where they played it in Teignmouth seems to be the best positions for it. Just not between Uprising and New Born where it is a mood killer

Resistance is actually a good bit faster than Invincible. Though, imo, it doesn't do anything for the set that can't be done (and an awful lot better too) by Butterflies. It'd be Butterflies > Invincible > Resistance for me.

I went ahead and kept it semi-realistic. Took the setlist from the Forum from April 10, 2007 and changed it to be updated for resistance. Left out Undisclosed Desires. Added Micro Cuts and Cave or Muscle Museum. Same amount of songs played so it is doable by Muse, but the song selection will never happen again.

 

1. Knights of Cydonia

2. Hysteria

3. Uprising

4. Resistance

5. Supermassive Black Hole

6. Map of the Problematique

7. Butterflies & Hurricanes

8. Assassin (Grand Omega Bosses Edit)

9. MK ULTRA

10. Citizen Erased

11. USoE

12. Sunburn (piano)

13. Blues jam + Time Is Running Out

14. New Born (KROQ AAC solo)

Encore 1:

15. Cave or Muscle Museum

16. Micro Cuts

17. Plug In Baby

Encore 2:

18. Starlight

19. Unnatural Selection

20. Stockholm Syndrome

21. Take a Bow

The thing about B&H is that when it kicks in it REALLY kicks in. The song builds really well and the piano solo in the middle is awesome live. I do prefer Resistance too Invincible though. Invincible is slightly cheesier than Resistance for me.

 

ALSO, Starlight should NEVER open ANYTHING...EVER. Not a set, not an encore, it shouldn't even get a post-piano slot.

 

If it has to be played, throw it after UD or Resistance or something else slow.

But its not about cheese, its about how good the song is. Invincible actually builds up and ends on a high while Resistance is just dull all the way through.

 

I'd rather hear a song I like live than a cheese fest.

 

Side note, Feeling Good should be dropped but we all know that.

Imo the whole resistance album should be droped out the setlist (discluding an obvious few), even that i could think of much better songs to replace them.

I'd have Uprising, USoE and MKU as staples, rotate Resistance with Invincible for a cheese-slot (Invincible's a better song), rotate UD with Endlessly for a synth-pop love song (Endlessly is fucking miles better though) and rotate US with New Born (they're both good). Overture and Guiding Light live are not that good, Feeling Good should be kept at the festivals and IBTY should be bought out every 4 or 5 gigs.
