ChristiaanW Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I'm thinking there will not be an orchestra for Wembley or the other shows. I started thinking they might do a small tour in special venues next year with an orchestra, like RAH in the UK or maybe the Concert Hall in Amsterdam. Would make loads of sense. They wouldn't market it as a normal Muse gig (probably some regs that won't get played) and they have explicitally said they want to play exo... What do you think?

Lizzie_loves_Muse Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I would love it if they did, but I doubt they would do a tour with an orchestra. I really want them to do another Royal Albert Hall concert, especially as I couldn't go in 2008 due to being in Valencia. I wanted to go to that concert so bad!

spark_ Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Is it even possible? The logistics would be something horrifying to get an orchestra on tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bee03 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Maybe a one-off show could be doable.. but yeah, getting an entire orchestra on tour is unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spittle Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I think it's entirely possible, they have a lot of potential songs that could sound fantastic accompanied by an orchestra. It also suits them, being another over-the-top performance tool, to up their previous live shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r2thabh Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Is it even possible? The logistics would be something horrifying to get an orchestra on tour. The Last Shadow Puppets did a tour with a orchestra if I'm not mistaken. Not sure on the size of the orchestra, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazgriff Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 ive been saying that they should debut it at the BBC electric proms for like 3 or 4 years now, i even started a thread. Maybe this is the year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florenceblue Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I've still got my hopes up for a possible appearance of an orchestra at Wembley...however, with the concerns of logistics with transporting an orchestra around the country(ies), some nights blocked out at the Royal Albert Hall would be amazing. I think they realise that fans would be prepared to travel for such an event. It's an amazing venue...still my favourite Muse gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Unintended xx Becca Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I'd love this. That being pretty much a dream for me, it'd still be amazing to see it even without playing for it. And it's not like they would need a 100-piece orchestra. They could have maybe 4/5 on each instrument in the strings then random brass/woodwind that they need. Or give those solos to string players just for the heck of it lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackparker Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 That would be awesome!! I think the dates should be: RAH x2 nights Concert hall amsterdam Kürhaus Den haag holland somewhere in austria italy russia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nohopeinfear Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Perhaps logistically it would be easier to hire an orchestra from each country they're visiting on the tour and then the need for extra trucks/hotel rooms/etc/etc/etc would be minimized to that specific country. I'd definitely pay to go and see it, I actually watched the '08 RAH gig earlier and having an orchestra surrounding them would be incredible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I live there too, but it's just retarded to suggest this. Especially with so little gigs. Oh and you're totally forgetting US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, there's not a French or German venue in that list either. I might have a little scout around, just for the fun of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beibi Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Pop bands tour with loads of dancers, so I don't see why not. It's possible for sure. Travel with 15 dancers is not the same than travel with 50 musicians and their instruments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Essrog Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 This could totally work. I don't see the need for a huge orchestra really. A six-piece like on here, or maybe slightly bigger and I'm sure they'd sound fantastic. They would definitely have to come to Lincoln Center or Carnegie Hall in NYC. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBQXdsBqKtg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nohopeinfear Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 These are orchestras, not venues, but you can see it's logistically possible to use local orchestras across the world.

dagreatone123190 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 The problem with local orchestras though is that they'd have to have each orchestra rehearse for weeks beforehand, as opposed to having one orchestra that learns it all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
