The last tour had one of the best light shows I've seen.

"Noones Gonna take me alive" Oh my god I did enjoy it! They ended with Knights and it was such a perfect moment...when the lyrics came flashing on the screen! Bliss was my personal highlight though.....all these balloons were released at the end and I touched one!!! xx |

I was at the Friday show.
It was amazing. Matt Bellamy has the most beautiful voice ever ![]() We were seated so we didn't get near the balloons *jealous* but we did have a laugh when they started bursting

I went both nights, absolutely amazing! The crowd seemed more up for it on Fri, but the setlist was better on Sat (they played Citizen Erased!
). I managed to get on the barrier both nights, am still recovering now, I'm covered in bruises!Here are a couple of pics: http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l2...P/DSC00876.jpg http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l2...P/DSC00871.jpg http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l2...P/DSC00897.jpg http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l2...P/DSC00890.jpg http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l2...P/DSC00887.jpg |

I'm not sure if its the same for all venues though. I guess as soon as you get there, ask one of the staff for the running order, and then book it once you know? |

Why did nobody tell me this gig was happening?
Don't suppose there'll be tickets left? *runs off to check Ticketmaster* EDIT: just realised this thread is 4 days old. D'OH!! Last edited by coxy0211 : 13-11-2006 at 17:06. |

The crowd on Friday were great...it was such a good atmosphere xx They also played City of Delusion - its first UK play, was pretty cool seeing Matt playing an acoustic guitar, and the trumpeter! He also gave his guitar away at the end of Stockholm Syndrome, I was a couple of people next to the girl who got it. I did enjoy Assassin and Muscle Museum on Sat though - we didn't get those on Fri. Oh and Feeling Good, did you see Matt chuck his broken megaphone?!

I prefer ending with Knights rather than starting with it. Did you see on Friday when Matt took a bow? xx |

Did you have standing tickets? I love his arm gestures in Knights! Very emotive. I loved it when he clapped in Starlight too. Yeah I was standing!! Right in front of the mosh pit, pushing people in and avoiding injury ![]() Did you see all the balloons during Bliss? That has to be my favourite Muse song ever and with the balloons it was perfect. I actually touched one!!!!With two fingers admittedly but I'm very proud of my leap to get there. ![]() What was your highlight from Friday? What else did they play on Sat that wasn't in Friday's setlist? xx |

What else did they play on Sat that wasn't in Friday's setlist? xx I was on the left hand side, right at the front on the barrier, so had Matt more or less right in front of me! Managed to get on the barrier on Saturday too, but was more central, so a great view again, but got more crushed! Although I ended up in exactly the same place as on Fri, due to the “swaying” of the pit! The crowd was much rougher on Fri, loads of GUYS getting pulled out passed out, hope they were ok, must have been harsh in the middle of the pit. Hardly anyone came out on Sat.I think I enjoyed every bit of Friday, was buzzing cos I’d waited to see them again for 3 years, and they didn’t disappoint! I think 1 balloon came near us on Fri, none did on Sat, they were all on the other side! When I saw Muse the 1st time, the balloons got released from a big net on the ceiling, must be too tricky to put them up there!Just 3 songs different on Sat, no Muscle Museum, Assassin or Feeling Good, we got Citizen Erased, Showbiz and City of Delusion instead. I wanna see them again!!!! Both gigs definitely up there in my top 5 gigs! |
