Spittle Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Does anyone know if there was any pro video coverage of the gig? I so want to see their costumes in action! I think MTV will have recorded it, since I kept seeing Oxegen 2009 on last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a-museing Posted July 12, 2010 Author Share Posted July 12, 2010 Just arrived home from a brilliant weekend at Oxegen. We had no rain today! Lots of people around the campsite raving about Muse's performance. They were definately the best band I saw all weekend. So tired now and I'm covered in mud. My phone broke from all the rain.

a-museing Posted July 12, 2010 Author Share Posted July 12, 2010 http://www.hotpress.com/news/6726062.html?page_no=2&show_comments=1 Meanwhile, headliners Muse were their usual flamboyant selves, and we’re not just talking about Matt Bellamy’s show-stopping metallic red suit. The mood rockers were suitably epic and their awe-inspiring stage show made for a wonderful end to a stellar second day. Oh, and they tried to steal Stuart Clark’s wellingtons. It’s a long story, we’ll tell you about it sometime… http://www.state.ie/2010/07/live-reviews/oxegen-2010-muse/ It’s hard to image that there’s a better live band doing the world gig circuit right now than Muse. From the moment drummer Dominic steps on to the stage clad in a large spiky Mohican and a pale green undergarment, the front of the Oxegen crowd has turned into a frantic shoving match, and it’s clear this is a band that’s live reputation precedes it. ‘Plug In Baby’ sets the tone, sending hordes of bodies cavorting across the front of the stage, before Muse hit the musical jackpot with the varied live set every fan has come to know and love over the last half a decade or so. The Devon three-piece step up to the arena tour playing field was confirmed largely off the back of a heaving, epic Glastonbury performance in 2005, one that many attendees still argue was the best live show they’ve ever seen. It’s the playful introductions, manic pre-track instrumentals and pure familiarity combined with riff-centered, rock out quality of the band’s music that makes them such a special prospect. These days there’s a focus on the material from Black Holes and Revelations as well as the operatic aspects of The Resistance, though at times we’re given some nostalgic moments through brilliant takes on some of the subtler corners of The Origin Of Symmetry. Testament to the level of Muse’s peak is in the vibe at the back of the crowd. When State drifts back for an overview, the slush area behind the sound tower is rocking out just as hard. ‘Uprising’ – complete with sing-along words on the big screens that not one member of the crowd needs for anything but dramatic effect – gets the rebellious juices flowing, while ‘Supermassive Black Hole’ transforms itself into a live song that doesn’t seem quite so much like a silly take on a ‘my first space’ book. The subtle blends with the melodramatic, pace changes don’t sap the drive of the show, and it’s genuinely difficult to pick out a bad song. How do you quantify a band this good at what they do? If you like Muse at all on record, it’s hard to imagine how seeing the likes of ‘Absolution’ and ‘Time Is Running Out’ converted into their epic, operatic forms could be anything but a massive highlight. Stage show, lights, strange sunglasses, underwear on the outside and a crowd that chant their name twenty minutes before they come on stage: Muse is a band that’s developed from sitting at the slightly experimental end of indie rock in early efforts like ‘Sunburn’ to being a manic live prospect that blasts all comers into an energetic, eccentric, playful, frenzied oblivion. Long may this incredible form continue; who cares about a bit of mud, anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triple C Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 huh I'm assuming they meant Hysteria? That would have made more sense. And I'm guessing they meant 2004 on the first bit. That's the best I can offer ... it is my job to guess what the hell writers mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
