agenthal Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 During the heavier songs, there were crowd surfers coming by like every ten seconds... haha the security looked PISSED Really? My security guards LOVED it. They said before the show that they love that kind of stuff because it makes the job more interesting for them. Seriously, they said afterwards that this show was WAAAAAY better than at Fairfax, where they thought Muse was boring. <3 the security guys I'll miss them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glorious Resistance Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 So, question for everyone who was somewhere in first or second row GA... what time did you guys get to the venue to wait? For the Patriot Centre gig I got there at 11 and ended up in second row, but once we stood up I got barrier. For this gig, I got there at 3, and got in the second row again (passed a lot of people in line before me though, yay for walking fast/running) then got barrier when we stood up. And for both gigs I was on Matt's side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glorious Resistance Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I took a total of 570 pictures in Philly and Baltimore, of various quality, oh my! As I said in my previous post, there was a moment at the beginning of New Born when my heart stopped. This is a picture from that moment, although it doesn't do justice to the greatness of that moment: [spoiler=Big Pic for Heart Attack] I seriously didn't even remember taking this picture, when I saw it later that night my heart nearly stopped again. A very cool guy was at the barrier next to me, I had never met him before 5:30 that afternoon, but we hugged and leaned on each other's shoulders after this moment as if we were best friends. When Matt then raised his hand and then started the riff of New Born I almost started to cry! I will probably post the rest of the pictures on Facebook, I still have 2 more shows and hopefully more pictures to take!Just wanted to share this pic first oh. my. god. that picture literally made me gasp and my heart stop too. THATS AMAZING!!! and I'm glad you made friends with a cool guy I actually had a moment where I thought I was going to cry too! It was just so amazing.

bellamy'szetagirl Posted March 5, 2010 Author Share Posted March 5, 2010 I would be multi-quoting all day, trying to reply to everything I want to in this thread so I will just try to remember everything I want to post...(Part 1) The whole day was just awesome, from start to finish. I was able to arrive at around 10:30am and wandered around for 15 minutes before I saw some people who looked like they were going to the show, sitting on benches. Then 3 others came around and started talking to them so that's when I found out they were. It was Hardcoremidget and his friend Jack and they had been there since around 9:30am. All 7 of us sat by the GA entrance and a little while later others showed up. There were a lot of boardies up front in the queue. I still can't believe I was 3rd in line. Anyway, as we were all sitting there, a large amount of strangers who were waiting for the bus (we were right at a busy bus stop) were asking us all kinds of questions. (like who we were there to see, when tickets went on sale, and who wasCheesecake, erm Muse ) So it was decided that we make a sign to let all the random people know what we were doing and we taped the sign up on the window. The line didn't get long until later in the afternoon, when it wrapped around the building. They let us in and it went smoothly. I think everyone up front in line got to barrier.

rosiebean Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I know what you mean about not wanting the show to end. The guards I spoke to were having fun, very cool dudes. They were mostly amused at the crowd surfers (it was like a crowd surfing vending machine). The people on both sides of me got a setlist from one of them...I wasn't brave enough to ask, lol...it wouldn't have helped because the guy next to me got the guard's last list. OH, and Matt letting the audience sing was surreal...it took a while for the seats to warm up but the floor was lively, and I think the band enjoyed the energy that built during the show.

bellamy'szetagirl Posted March 5, 2010 Author Share Posted March 5, 2010 I got my spot on barrier at Matt's side, exactly where I wanted to be. We were even able to get up and use the toilets or buy tshirt and come back to sit in our spots. I didn't know much about SSPU (until I saw them in Fairfax) and it seemed like they were into it a little more this time. The bassist (sorry I don't know her name) even made a comment about crabcakes lol. When Muse came on, all my attention was on them and not the crowd behind me but the crowd did seem quieter during Uprising and Resistance. I think once New Born started more people around me were getting into it. My focus was on Matt, Dom and Chris and whatever the crowd was doing behind me didn't matter. The guys to my right were energetic and seemed to enjoy every minute. I was able to raise my hands, jump up and down and take some pics but not to tweet the setlist, we were pretty much packed at the barrier. I thought Matts vocals were perfect and again was amazed by how great musicians they all are. I'm so glad we got MK Ultra, and I really wasn't even noticing the setlist cut short at the time. I loved singing along to Plug In Baby and Starlight and was suprised Matt let us. I heard the Take A Bow teaser wished they could have played the song. I saw 2 girls get lifted out who passed out and I heard the security guy say it looked like a fight was breaking out (during Undisclosed Desires lol). We even got some small crowd surges towards then end and I counted at least 20 crowd surfers. At one point, they were coming one after another. By the time Stockholm Syndrome was played, I was all pressed up on the barrier lol. I didn't want the show to end... ever. . After the show there was a group of us who waited out by the busses to see if Matt, Dom and Chris would come out. Unfortunately, this time the security was correct in saying that they left early so we didn't meet them But I did enjoy spending another 2 hours with Musers. And I am probably forgetting someone here or got their name wrong (and I'm so sorry if I do ) but I met a lot of cool Musers throughout the day (and some in Fairfax too) including: mdmusefan, stevenhorton, elight, minimumbliss, hyper, jack, exoval, wonderval, dreamoutloud54, ingo98, hardcoremidget, gloriousresistance, I burns like the sun, high revoltage and dead duck and several more that I've only talked with on Twitter who were also there. I just arrived in New York City (my first time here) to see Muse at Madison Square Garden tomorrow. This has been one the best weeks of my life.

Cassica Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I can't believe people are complaining about a dead crowd... my experience was that GA was awesome. I was at the second row on Matt's side. Before the gig i was worried that i should have gotten seats, but i am glad i didn't. During the heavier songs, there were crowd surfers coming by like every ten seconds... haha the security looked PISSED And i touched one of the balloons! that made my day OH and there was this one girl who dropped her glasses and the lense fell out, everyone was really nice and backed up so she could find it LOL my friend knocked her glasses off.
