InnocuousBlonde Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 My turn to recount! Yesterday was so great! It was really nice to meet peeps from the boards in real life. Thanks for being awesome! Also, meeting random strangers in the GA line who were funny and nice and very very cool was quite pleasant. It seems like everyone else had a grand time too, and that's awesome! I had a much better vantage point than I did in Chicago this time around. I chose to stay a little back from the barrier edge, so I was about 8 rows back (when the moshing picked up during SS and KoC, I was really glad of that) on Chris' side, and was not behind a load of abnormally tall dudes. In any case, it was great to actually SEE what the band was doing this time around. The energy was pretty great! The stillness that fell with RBS was almost eerie. I just stood there singing along with my hands clasped, totally in awe. I was so surprised. Oh, and was it just me, or was UD extra sexy last night? Yeah baby. All in all, great stuff. Even the 4 assholes (2m, 2f) who elbowed their way forward after Passion Pit's set disappeared halfway through Uprising. Their genius plan to plow further forward once everything started was thwarted, so they had to migrate sideways, mercifully away from me (I kind of hope they got roughed up in the middle section, because they were such self-centered hipster jerks). Everyone else was cool and just made the gig all the better with their appreciation. Thanks for making this such a great event, guys! You all rock!

dagreatone123190 Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTeggWSfZV4 They played a Burning Bridges outro to PIB and it sounds different than the normal one, it's awesome! Sounds heavier. It's quite nice actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steph.muser Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 My mind is officially blown. Not only did I get to hear MotP, but RBS! At my very first concert ever! How f***ing awesome is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dead-duck Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Couple of pics: My view at the beginning. Passion Pit - it looks like I moved, but I don't think I did. Uprising - was still in the center here. RbS - Haha, I moved over so much. Exo - got relatively close to the center again, still not in the same spot I was. And then me with Kirk (and strawberries) I didn't get a lot of pics - I either couldn't get my phone out of my pocket, wasn't still enough, tweeting, or calling my friend (I called her 3 times during the show). A lot of them were really blurry because my phone doesn't take great photos, but I think my favorite is the RbS one. I took it right when it kicked in. great pics! You and teh kirk I'm not sure if she's on the board, friends with her on tumblr and twitter though. I know how excited she was cause she did actually get to meet the rest of the band and have her shirt signed. Chris and Matt were polite and signed higher up near the neck but Dom signed right across her boob. Hopefully I can be as lucky! Dom That's the funny part, I don't have a quick temper. I'm very slow to anger but this guy grabbed me and tried moving off the rail and then tried pushing me back into it so I told him to take it easy, but the whole time he's got his hand on me trying to push me around. I weigh 260 pounds, I don't move easily so then he gets upset and tries to sucker punch me but he missed. Luckily, we were standing right next to a security guard who saw the whole thing. He had to scruff the drunk by the back of his shirt and pull him out of the crowd but he did get him and then, rather forcefully, tossed him out, and all the time the guy is talking crap to the guard. I hate drunks. gah, sounds like a real idiot. It's good the security guy was there to take him out - wouldn't have been fun if you'd gotten pulled out for hitting him back!

lala236 Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 My first time posting! Eep! I'm in agreement with the other posts - the Milwaukee show was AWESOME and was even better than Chicago. I was in GA against the barriers on the right about 3 rows back. My friends and I could see everything and we couldn't believe how close we were! Unbelievable. I was so grateful for the smaller venue this time and the smaller crowd. Although at first I was thinking, "Where is everyone???" it soon sunk in what an intimate show it was. Crowd seemed to be totally into it and it seemed like the guys were having fun up there. While I was there I was able to forget about everything else and was just there. Awesome. RBS - holy cannoli! That was an unexpected pleasure. That song is so intense it's almost painful to listen to at times, depending on what kind of day you're having. Getting to experience it live, well, I just can't adequately describe it. I was so caught off guard at first I think I just stood there and gaped like a dead fish. After I got a hold of my self I just tried to absorb it. I even closed my eyes a couple times and just tried experience the song. LOL the only issue I had was that my friends and I got stuck being surrounded by this large group of people from Chicago (oh yeah, they made it clear that they were from Chicago. I'll bet you dollars to donuts that they're from the suburbs) who arrived at the show drunk. How they made it through the show without passing out dead drunk I have absolutely no idea. One guy was super tall, completely wasted, and kept throwing elbows. I had to keep dodging him and during Hysteria I had to be on point to avoid a broken nose! But when I pushed him back and asked what the f his problem was he and his friends calmed down a little. It all just goes along with being in GA and at least he and his crew were huge fans. Thank you Muse for coming to Chicago AND Milwaukee in the same year!!! XOXO!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dead-duck Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Why is Chris up on the pillar by himself? He isn't - Dom is over on Matt's pillar, you just can't see it in the pic. It's the new configuration for UD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's really new, the first time they did it was in Denver, so yours was only the 3rd show with it I'm hoping they stick with it (I wasn't sure at first, but figure they will at this point), it looks really cool Plus it'll allow me to hear MK Jam again, which I'd like because I have no memory of it at all from Wembley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperMassiveCatFace Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 This was my 5th and final show this year (also went to Boston, Chicago, Coachella and Denver), and I think it was probably my favorite one. The band had great energy, and the crowd (although smaller than some of the other venues) was loving it. I felt that Matt was having a particularly good time! Can't wait for the next tour! Love the socks part, very cool. Here's a link to a video I took of Hystera. I pan the crowd in the beginning so maybe a few of you are in the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylWKmEtlqMY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
