dead-duck Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Riffs are swell and all, but songs are the bees knees. Edit: And really, time constraints? What's an extra 15 minutes? Riffs are swell when they're stuck in because the mood hits you right, like what happened in LA seemed very spontaneous... but riffs aren't the same when it's always the same ones, you're not playing something extra, you're just making the song longer.... If it's a matter of curfew, 15mins could be a big deal, but if there's an issue the show should just start earlier... that said, I think the time is still about 1hr40mins, so So they get 2 hours at Voodoo fest think they will play the whole time? Not likely... they had long time slots at some of the european festivals and still played like 1hr30-45min... Unless they decide to do something special because it's the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they decide to do something special because it's the end I hope we at least get 1hr45 mins. A 17-18 song setlist like the arena shows would be great I didnt know that about the European festivals. Every festival ive seen they've got an hour and a half. Thats a bit saddening. At least, if they plan on a 1hr30 or 1hr45, maybe they won't be afraid to go crazy on riffs like on Staples night 2 because they wont have to worry about curfew. That'd be awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still guessing they played longer in LA since they had extra songs AND they included epic riffage. Maybe they got a late start tonight; I wasn't paying attention. If the time playing is about the same as the gigs w/ 17 songs then I guess we can't complain. Oh wait, sure we can! I wonder how long the SS outro was tonight...

For the gigs I went to in the spring, the set lengths were something like 1hr40min for the 16 song MD set, 1hr45 for the 17 song VA set and 1hr50 for the 18 song NYC set. So, the length does vary, but since they're essentially playing the MD setlist without MKU right now, if they added 3-5mins of extra riffs after SS, the show would end up being the same length.

UnintendedFan Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Even if < 9000 attendees buy only 15 songs - just taking the Rock in Rio festival setlist. Drop any one to make 15 and we (Sacramento and Rio) would still be in heaven, old fans, new fans, Twi-hards will all be happy. Just a small treat/tweak here and there and a 15 song setlist becomes a fabulous one. Why not do it???? Grrrrrrr. All of these have been played in Sept. so the visuals are all there. Including Bliss.

Honestly, if they play CE, will anyone care about what's happening on the towers ? They can just show the guys on the towers, like Sunburn on screens in Singapore! Think we'd complain?

I agree. I doubt if anything in the future will top Staple's riffs. So spontaeous. I can see Dom and Chris setting an ultimatum after that - 4 tops Matt, no more!

Super Sammy! Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 I always dreaded the 15 song arena set, but I thought that Muse would never swoop that low without good reason. Now it's appeared twice, I just don't want to know this band anymore. It's not even about what songs they play anymore, it's about the length of their gigs and how much of their back catalogue they actually want to consider. It appears they want to consider the section that has already been exposed to the public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dagreatone123190 Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 They played 14 songs when I saw them in 2004 at Webster Hall. Just saying. And the quality of those songs were MUCH higher (AP, TSP, ToaDA, MM, CE, RBS, Sunburn, B&H, Bliss). If this set pops up a few more times I think I'm gonna sell my tickets...:/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this set pops up a few more times I think I'm gonna sell my tickets...:/ Sacramento and Albuquerque probably got 15 songs because they're smaller markets, which is true for 95% of the cities on this leg compared to the first leg -- fair or not. It's not looking very good for everyone else, though I'd be surprised if Denver got 15 tonight too. LA and NYC are the two exceptions, and we saw what happened in LA. Also, NYC is the only city that is getting the towers twice on two legs, so I doubt we're going to get anything worse than we did in the spring.
