Hello. If you know me, I love Absolution a lot. :D Before you go and say that this thread is futile, it's not. Matt said after a Bliss performance recently that it was dedicated to the message boards. So I believe that if this thread gets enough attention, we could get a few goodies dedicated to this board's fanbsse of Absolution lovers.

 

 

So Muse have been throwing in songs like Bliss and Citizen Erased to the setlist. It's fantastic, but what about Absolution? If they're timid on playing soft songs like SfA and FAWY to an energetic crowd, think about the second half of the album! How awesome would it be to see TSP, Furt, or Thoughts of a Dying Atheist (arguably some of their heaviest songs) in a set? And for emotional bits, replace Guiding Light and Neutron Star Collision with Endlessly and Blackout/Ruled By Secrecy? How about the magnificent monster of Absolution, Butterflies and Hurricanes, which fares so well live to a screaming crowd?

It's time we saw a miracle, come on, it's time we get some Absolution. :yesey:

 

Sample setlist WITH Absolution:

 

Uprising

MoTP

Fury

New Born

Butterflies and Hurricanes

Undisclosed Desires

USoE

Hysteria

MK Ultra

Resistance

Starlight

Blackout

Bliss

Unnatural Selection

Exogenesis Overture

ToaDA

Take a Bow

PiB

SS

KoC

 

Just a little Absolution was all it took to make this ordinary setlist extraordinary, while still keeping many songs from The Resistance and old favorites from other albums.

 

Note: Please discuss only Absolution's role in the setlist here (no complaining about how OoS/Showbiz should get more songs too).

 

Cheers :D

That said, hell yes to more Absolution/Origin of Symmetry/Showbiz PLEASE. :awesome: ESPECIALLY Showbiz (because it's underrepresented by a lot) and Absolution (Because it's awesome)

Definatly needs to be more Showbiz. I mean what was the last gig where a song from the Showbiz era (with the exeption of Nishe and HoRS riff)?

 

Estadio Vicente Calderón- 16th of June.

 

Unintended, which is arguably one of the worst songs off Showbiz. :facepalm::stunned:

It sounded to me like Matt said the dedication to the messageboards in a sarcastic manner.

 

Anyways I agree,the setlists do need Apocalypse Please,Sing For Absolution,The Small Print,Blackout,Ruled By Secrecy and B&H. :)
