okradeel Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 That was SO much fun. Who knew being at the very back could be so awesome? I still can't get over the couple that was dancing in front of us for the last half of the gig. I wanted to join in with them so bad, it was hilarious. What kind of camera do you have? It takes amazing pictures. I have the Panasonic TZ5! Magnificent zoom! OMG! Those pictures are Thanks!! Those are Did you edit them or adjust your filters before the show? I wanted to brighten the lot but I got lazy so I didn't. Only the first two photos from the seattle set are edited. [Matt on the tower with glasses and one with kirky]. And as for filters, nope, I left the camera on normal mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gocanux Posted April 6, 2010 Author Share Posted April 6, 2010 The Panasonic Lumix is the unofficial camera of Musers worldwide! I know of more than a dozen of us that have one. The new one coming out soon has 16X zoom and hi-def vids! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicked And Divine Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Fantastic pictures Melanie!!! Unfortunately, many of my pictures turned out blurry and the sound on my videos is crap. Just made that picture of me my profile pic on Facebook Thanks, Alvin! It was good seeing you briefly. Loved the hair! Saw your new FB profile pic. I remember seeing a couple of people at Dick's - my bro, dad and I were eating there. I saw a bunch of you guys wearing the .mu shirts, i was jealous yet excited . Dick's was full of Musers... it was awesome! Welcome to the board. Next time, you'll have to join us! Props to everyone who lined up early for this. It was freezing!!! Glad you guys got barrier! Jebecca/Wazlib: It was great hanging at the back with you guys! Flailing around was so much fun! Pictures are on flickr! I didn't realize until after the gig that you guys had stayed back by the soundboards. Glad you all had fun! Might have to try that sometime. Sue and I got there right when SSPU started. We decided to walk up Matt's side and see how close we could get. We ended up fairly close... about 5-6 rows back maybe. I was surprised at how tame the crowd was around us, except for one asshole at the beginning, but he took our hint and left. It was a great spot for getting pictures. Also noticed that no one was singing RbS around us, except for Sue and I. Thanks again for the awesome photos! I just got the Lumix ZS3. As Mary said, the Lumix line has definitely become the "unofficial Muser camera". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
namaste18 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Did anyone get pics or video of Matt shining the spotlight back and forth on the crowd at the Key Arena show? I believe it might have been just before the "Plug in Baby" intro. I love the "Megalomania on the Royal Albert Hall Organ" look on his face when he does these things. And is the guitar officially destroyed after the Key Arena ending? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got lots of pics at the Seattle gig, but didn't take any during Matt's spotlight antics (it was right before Man With A Harmonica). I was just enjoying watching him. Love his smile and laugh. I think someone got a photo, though. I'm sure I saw it on one of the three NW gig threads (Vancouver, Seattle or Portland). You might try looking there. The Glitterati lives!

Yes! Thanks again to Sue for the blue blinky glasses! These were so much fun, although I really couldn't stand wearing them after Uprising. I can see why Matt gets rid of them quickly. The glasses also worked well for Sue and I when we were trying to locate each other across the floor in Portland. We just waved our glasses at each other.

Siouxz Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 He's tossed the Glitterati before, not too long ago. Can't remember which gig it was, but I believe the neck came off. But they fixed it because he was using it again not too long afterward. Oh I saw you then! I was looking for other blinking glasses in the arena and there were only a few. My sister and I were in the seats in the back - mine were blue and hers were red. It was great seeing you, Doug, Behnaz, and Melanie again at Dick's, and meeting some new people there, too! It was great to meet you Liberty! It looks soooooooooooooooo insanely dead in the video's I've seen. Literally the only video I see any jumping or anything is during SMBH. =/ I can assure you that Melanie and I were most definitely bopping around the entire time. If you don't believe it ask my poor knees! Conspiracy! Haaa - the Glitterati Conspiracy Theory! This was all part of some new diabolical plan of Matt's... Yeah Matt was really mixing up the guitars with songs they weren't usually played for on Friday, it was weird. Yes - that wa clearly a result of the Glitterati Conspiracy event in Seattle. I saw you!!! I remember you and your friend had the blinky blue glasses. Definitely a way to get noticed!! Yep - Hi Alvin - that was me, Sue, with Mel. Hey all! Finally got home from NW MuseFest (Vancouver, Seattle, Portland) last night. Three nights in the pit, two at the barrier. My neck is still sore from staring up at the stage and towers... oh yeah, and all the head-banging! At least my voice is starting to come back. PMS is now in full effect. Need fall dates announced so I can add another gig to my agenda. It was really great meeting up with some of you at Dick's before the gig. I meant to stop by the queue earlier to visit with everyone there, but traffic was so bad that I didn't get down there until 5:30 (my normally 20 minute trip took 1 hr and 45 min! I just finished uploading my pics from all three gigs. They're all mixed in together. Most are from the Seattle gig since I was a few rows back from the barrier that night where the crowd was more tame and I could get pics without getting shoved around so much. Here's the link to all the pics, plus a few of my Seattle favorites... You got a lot of god pics after all! I remember seeing a couple of people at Dick's - my bro, dad and I were eating there. I saw a bunch of you guys wearing the .mu shirts, i was jealous yet excited. Awww - you should have come over and said hi!! just wanted to pop in here and say it was really fantastic to hang out with some amazing people and I can't wait to do it again! meeting other Musers just makes these trips so much more fun! wicked, siouxz and husby, liberty and sis, James from FB, kelly (sorry forgot your username ), roya, and prolly a couple other names I'm forgetting thanks for being so nice to my "non" Muser friend Liz; afterwards she completely found the show to be amazing I'm having major major major PMS :'( I'll prolly have to enrobe myself in my new Muse hoodie today (... ahhh if it only came with Dom or Mattsmell infusion now that would be sorry TMI!! ) siouxz just wanted to exude thanks again for giving me the blue I <3 them and makes us Muser phreaks stand out in the crowd It was my pleasure to pass along the glasses - and great to get to hang out with you in Seattle and Portland!

OMG - Matt is just 100% precious when he's doing the spotlight with the amp trick - he gets the most adorible devilish smile on his face... *melts* That was def. one of my fav. moments of the shows. It even made my Enabler smile. Yes, those glasses certainly did help people find one another, didn't they! But, yes, they are definitely annoying to wear for me - because I have to put them over my regular glasses - I don't wear contacts, and I can't miss seeing clearly for even one song! Iknowright?! There was seriously no excuse for that. The words were on the towers and everything! I've been listening to RBS all week. Yeah- super dissapointing that people didn't seem to know the song at all. And in Portland, I felt like hardly anyone knew Stockholm Syndrome!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gigapoodle Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 No one around me was singing Ruled By Secrecy either - actually, the section I got stuck in, it seemed like no one knew anything I was the only one around me chanting the 'no one's going to take me alive' part in KoC. I was belting and arm-pumping and everything, but everyone was dead. Though right after the last 'you and I must fight to survive', a chick in front of me started dancing and thrashing about like crazy.

namaste18 Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Seattle Post Gig - Day 5 Recovery - I really hope to meet some Muse fans in the Seattle area in the future. I must admit, I'm a Muse addict, and some of the people around me don't seem to "understand." It would be great to know others who do, and to go to the next concert with people. (I went by myself, Friday, but it was still fantastic!) Please sign me up for some blinky glasses, next time. It has been a tough "post-gig" adjustment. I was really tired the few days after the concert. I think it was all of the adrenaline. Muse, to me, is kind of life a way of life, not just a band.

I've been a member for several years, but was more of a lurker until the past few months really. It is defnitely nice to have other people to chat with who get the whole Muse addiction and don't look at you like you have two heads for spending money to travel across the country to see them play. I will definitely order more blue blinky glasses for future gigs! The pair I had in Seattle and Portland got lost during Stockholm Syndrome when I went kinda nuts and didn't even realize they had flown off until Chris started playing his harmonica...

[/color] I was pretty much in the same spot at both shows and the crowd was a lot more obnoxious in Portland and much nicer in Seattle. We encountered a lot of rude jerks who rushed up and pushed their way up past others who had stood in queue all day to get their spots in Portland. I stopped quite a few of them from getting past us - Philly style. We were lucky enough to have a few really cool people right around us, so we all stuck together and watched out for each other whenever more jerks tried to push past us. My husband helped protect this one tiny girl who had to come to the show by herself because her friend bailed at the last minute. He also helped her get an eyeballoon, after I got mine. Anxiously awaiting Fall dates so I can plot my next shows - need them soon to combat the PMS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
