cheese on toast Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 And saw more boardies and interestingly dressed people (Muse gigs - it's the new Halloween): girl wearing a pink wig, girl wearing a turquoise wig, someone in limegreen skinnies walking next to someone in silver leggings. That was me!! Great review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dead-duck Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Great review, fuesch I know what you mean about the lanes of traffic in front of the sound booth I got the full experience in that on Saturday!

fuesch Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 OMG, hi guys! I wish my memory was better. Insanly combined leopard print shirt sounds familiar, but I don't think I can remember someone else than Pokemew sitting during TBP. I hate people using usernames. >.< Just bugs me. Actually, it only bothers me when I know there real names. Ah, so that's why people use real names. Personally I hate people use real names. Because really, how am I supposed to know who someone is talking about? I can't know everyone's name.

snarkycat Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Great review fuesch I can see myself and hubby in the video! At the 1:38 mark If you see me looking disgusted, it was because there was a guy in our section who was showing off massive amounts of butt cleavage I may have seen you at Wembley too......I definitely saw pokemew (although I did not know it was her ). She and some other girls were talking to the girls next to us in the queue and comparing the aliens they had brought. Were with her then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because really, how am I supposed to know who someone is talking about? I can't know everyone's name. I figure that if I want people to use my real name around here I'd have put it in my user name I don't care if other people do it, but I find it odd when people call me by my name online I don't mind it in person, of course... although I think most people just called me ducky at wembley (which I don't mind at all either!) You were at the sounddesk on Saturday? Yeah, I was with a group that was leaning against the barrier, then I was in front of them. I couldn't decide what to do, was thinking of going for seats but wasn't sure that would be fun all alone, so I decided to head for the people I knew I had a decent view in the beginning but as the crush continued through the gig it got more and more crowded and by the second half it was hard to stay upright when people came shoving through trying to get out. I was looking at my vids the other night and was reminded of the people pushing through during CE I was second from the barrier in front of Matt on Friday, I wish I had the stamina to go for the barrier on Saturday but the jetlag hit me hard on Friday night and I ended up sleeping until noon saturday!

Yeah, me and my sister were the girls with pokemew. Where were you standing on Saturday? At the sounddesk again! Heh. But we got there a bit late and there were to many people in front it (I wanted a spot right at the barrier or at least second row again), so we chose a spot on the left.

trogette Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 A friend of mine had had to leave the pit to throw up (victim of the previous night's hot-dog, she reckoned!) and wanted to get back to where we were because we had her younger sister with us and she was worried about her freaking out without her. Sometimes people aren't just randomly trying to shove through, but yeah, where do they think they're going to get to?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tintin Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 I think 99% who are trying to push through say they were there before and they just went to the loo/whatever although no one around has seen them before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dead-duck Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 You were standing right next to Ducky for a while waaaaaaaaaaaaait what? A friend of mine had had to leave the pit to throw up (victim of the previous night's hot-dog, she reckoned!) and wanted to get back to where we were because we had her younger sister with us and she was worried about her freaking out without her. Sometimes people aren't just randomly trying to shove through, but yeah, where do they think they're going to get to?! On Saturday, once the show started, the majority of the people pushing through were trying to get out, some looking quite desperate, actually. The problem was there was nowhere to go since we were pushed against a barrier! I figure they thought it was shorter to escape to the sides, but I think they may have actually had an easier time going up the middle and out the back then trying to get past the soundbooth.... Unfortunately they wouldn't stop or wait or think, they just think you're lying or something. I'm like Look around, where am I supposed to go? In one case it was about at the middle bridge of US and a guy was trying to push past me when I was fairly crushed already. He said let me through and I said I couldn't move at all. I told him it was almost the encore break so if he waited another couple of mins he might have an easier time when the song ended. Instead, he decided to go in front of me and shoved me so hard I fell backwards The only thing that kept me upright was whoever was behind me that I fell into Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snarkycat Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 The pushing was incredible throughout the gig. There really should be a second barrier at big gigs like Wembley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There really should be a second barrier at big gigs like Wembley I thought it was rather tame in comparison to some gigs I've been to, personally There was a second barrier at Oxegen and it was the worst crush I've ever been in.

trogette Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 It was much less shove-y where I was than I was expecting tbh, there was a certain amount of 'drift' and the occasional sideways wave came through but for the most part I had a decent amount of room. It just made my legs ache a bit being half on the raised bit of floor just next to the barrier! http://www.youtube.com/user/mjfeather1 was right in front of my friend Bloody hell, wrong thread! Friday I was in the seating bit! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dead-duck Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Ok, so, finally got around to uploading my vids from this show if anyone cares. They're not that great, certainly not worth the wait, but oh well... http://www.youtube.com/user/xdeadxduckx The vids are: * * * * * I also have two sets of clips, a muse one from friday and a nonmuse one from both nights. The "nonmuse" one contains bits of: The Big Pink Dominos (I mainly recorded this one to see if I could capture how deafeningly loud the bass was!), Lily Allen Smile, White Lies (?) Everybody Wants to Rule The World, Alien Balloon flying during Biffy, MKU Before the gig ( ) The muse one has: SMBH solo thru end, Newborn intro thru riff, Newborn solo, Random bit before GL, USoE 2nd verse thru end, 25 sec or so of Bernie (still uploading) I also have full song vids of B&H and IBTY but I don't dare post them because of the singing I may put the wee ponds tomato dressing up somewhere private, though Funny how we can be standing right next to each other and not know it.... well maybe not that shocking seeing as how we've never met... but still quite a coincidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dead-duck Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Ok, resurrecting this from the depths because I have finally uploaded my pics I only ended up with 25 good ones, so I stuck them in an album on the board: http://board.muse.mu/album.php?albumid=2638 Here's a sampling...
