Claudia O Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 (edited) They played Map at the latest gig, and I read that Euphoria , Mercy and Dead inside got soundchecked! Edited February 27, 2023 by Claudia O 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NigelTufnel Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I'd seen Muse at least a half dozen times before the Chicago show. I don't think they had played Bliss at any of them so I was really excited when they kicked into it. They played Map at a few of the shows I've attended. Great song as well but Bliss was easily the best of those options for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bell Centre and Videotron often get 2 shows each while many comparable American cities get skipped completely. I live in Michigan but went to see the show in Chicago because they're not playing Detroit on this tour. I think we have a very good connexion with the band in Québec City. We are in fire, out of control, the crowd is amazing !!! That's why a go twice every time. For example, in 2010, we organised with few fans, something very special for them, we bought each 100 glow in the dark armlet for our section, and give them to all the 20 000 fans. It was so special and was fitting with the color of Resistance album. At the end of the show, we threw all the armlet on the stage, the guys were amazed. And at the Summer Festival on July 16th 2017, for the 50th anniversary of the festival, Muse was there, we waited 12 hours in 30 degrees to be in the front row and I got a handshake from Matt. The crowd was estimated at 110,000 people. I putted some pictures in my profile, I don't kow if you can see them.

It started just being Revolt/Reapers then we ended up with all sorts of stuff coming through including rare performances of Panic Station, Supremacy, Defector, Assassin, Sunburn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudia O Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 I can‘t remember, but we had some nice rotation on this tour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muse samuse Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 The Minneapolis gig was awesome! I especially enjoyed the live versions of the seven songs they played from WOTP. The rotation song MotP is also one of my favourites and The Dark Side instrumental was a pleasant surprise. I even felt the heat sitting in Row X during the pyro. Matt played some snippets from Bach (Halloween) and Chopin (Prelude) on the piano which I appreciated. Perhaps a medley of some songs (Stockholm Syndrome, New Born, Assassin, Reapers, The Handler) or the Houston Jam like the band did during the ST tour would be welcome later in this tour too. Another audio-visual spectacle not to be missed!

Claudia O Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 (edited) No, I like Resistance! I‘ve never heard it live but would love to hear it, opening with the iconic double neck guitar .. won‘t happen, I know, it‘s like Starlight .. without the guitar during the whole song it‘s not the same anymore. I never liked Undisclosed desire, I‘m skipping it on record and during live recordings .. Edited March 3, 2023 by Claudia O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NigelTufnel Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 The first rotation slot has gone through Bliss, Map, Citizen Erased and now New Born. The second has had Resistance and UD. You just know that Stockholm Syndrome is coming to that first slot 🤩 and Feeling Good will make an appearance in the second 😞. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozza Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Resistance is just average, better than Undisclosed Desires though. Hopefully not Feeling Good but weren’t they playing Space Dementia and Liberation last year? A piano slot would be nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyP117 Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 It appears that during my short time with the Muse Reddit, most constructive criticism results in downvotes. So here goes: - The sets aren't too bad...about what I expected. They band seem on great form and overall Id say thery're far better than on the ST tour (all the new album songs seem to translate really well). Splitting the rotations over two slots would be better IMO .Bliss/Map, CE/Space Dementia (played somewhat recently), Stockholm/New Born. - It's all subjective but how on Earth is Thought Contagion still around? - I have no problem with more instrumentals/vocal breaks for Matt but these slots should be in addition to proper songs, not taking up song slots. - Is there a single song (not counting the new album songs) that wasn't a single? Why are they still so adverse to playing non-singles at their own shows? - Matt's declining voice is definitely a thing...so why soundcheck two songs that are very vocally challening for him these days? Not sure what he's thinking there. Still really looking forward to Plymouth and I suspect there may be a few changes for the European dates.

NigelTufnel Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Their approach to setlist construction is pretty predictable. 1. Play half the new album 2. Ignore the previous album except for 1 or 2 holdovers. And, yes, why is it Thought Contagion this time? 3. Play singles from OoS to Drones 4. Pretend Showbiz never happened 5. Repeat sequence for every show including a couple rotation slots It's all perfectly fine and functional but doesn't exactly encourage fans to attend more than one gig. Apparently, the band doesn't get too bored with the routine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyP117 Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Yeah so they say. I know they feed off the songs which get a bigger reaction but I wish they had more faith in their entire catalogue. If one song out 20 doesn't get the biggest of cheers, is that really too much of an issue? What gets me is they still insist on playing every big hit of theirs. Most of these shows on this tour haven't sold out which means the casual audience aren't going to see them like they used to (I think we can all agree the band's peak in popularity is well over) so really...they should throw in some more fan favourites. Maybe it's on me as I've seen them so many times over the years but it's frustrating when so many great songs don't even get a look. And god damn do I miss a dedicated piano slot.

Alimuse Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Yesterday It was the first of two concert in Québec City and it was so awsome !!!! Muse and the crowd was in fire !!!! The set list was perfect. I was hoping to ear and see Ghost but I have to mourn about it. But they play Verona wich is wonderful song too ! See you again tonight !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Little Animal Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Hmmmm. Swapping Verona for Liberation is not a good move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alimuse Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 (edited) No because people don't know the lyrics. And I love Madness, for me it's a Masterpiece , but the crowd didn't know the lyrics and Matt was asking to sing with him but we are just a couple to sing. I was sad to ear it from the the crowd. I was thinking maybe it's the last time they will play this amazing song. Edited March 13, 2023 by Alimuse Correction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claudia O Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Liberation is one of my least faves on the new album, but they are promoting their new album and should not kick it out of the setlist. People may not know the lyrics to .. hm … City of delusion, or Ruled by secrecy, but so what?? No problem with that, as long as they play it 😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
