The stage at this venue is like Numberwang every time a band changes. "Let's rotate the board!"

I like how Matt kicks over the amps and then the dude has to go put them back up because the sets not over.

So far this is the exact iHeartRadio setlist from NYC, except swap out Mercy for Resistance http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/muse/2015/iheartradio-theater-new-york-ny-4bc81706.html If that's true, then Reapers, Starlight and Man With Harmonica/Knights are left.

Good show but a little too short, loved that they brought back the old school outro riff for KoC.

Muse were amazing as usual, but this is (one of the many reasons) why I hate festivals: Wait all day & night for the band you really want to see, then hear 10 songs and go home. Can't wait for the proper album tour when they go back to their usual 20-25 song set lengths. I mean, look at this monster: http://www.musewiki.org/Tokyo_International_Forum_2007_%28gig%29

Next up is the Mercy debut! Here's a useful countdown to Annie Mac's Monday night show, which starts at 7pm in the UK. http://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?iso=20150518T19&p0=136&msg=Mercy+debut&csz=1 Note: Mercy is Hottest Record of the week, expect it to be played half an hour or an hour into the show.

WELP, Mercy has leaked! It's great! Awesome chorus harmonies, loving the synths in the pre-chorus. Hands down my favourite of the 4 songs we've heard. Hedrigall fucked around with this message at 15:04 on May 17, 2015 |

Muse's slow transformation into U2 is the twist no one expected. Or wanted. This is another non-event of a song. Strange mixing on this one. The chugging guitars are really quiet in the chorus.

Nope, I'm with Popcorn. This is all production, zero songwriting. The songs we've heard so far are a completely mixed bag for me.

reapers is really good. mercy is eh, but i think it could be fun live. So far all these songs make me want to see muse live again, but not really listen to their cd that much. They've always been a better live band, but it seems like the gap has gotten larger. quote:Muse's slow transformation into U2 is the twist no one expected.

I was at both the NYC/LA gigs the past couple weeks. Trip report from a guy in the double digits for shows: Psycho gets the crowd moving better than any opener I've seen. Dead Inside is alright, my least favorite of the three new ones I've caught in person. It just lacks the energy that psycho and reapers force on you. Reapers is fantastic live, and that outro annihilates in person. Shook me to my core, I think the sound guys cranked up the volume for it. They busted out hyper music on request in LA, which was impressive given how rehearsed/scripted their shows have been the past few years. It's a great live song and should be in their regular set. The crowd chanted for dead star following it. Matt laughed and said gently caress no. Assassin is a monster live, my god. I can't describe how massive the GOB outro sounds. It's just so meaty. Matt is on his game. He's playing everything he can on guitar, save the parts he shouldn't- New Born gets the proper piano intro. Awesome falsetto in bliss. Less false bravado and more genuine rocking, at least from my view. He just seems to be way tighter overall. Madness is a good breather in between heavier songs and is infinitely better without the gimmicks (visuals, glasses). Dom plays the double tempo parts of Apocalypse Please I first noticed at Wembley, it's really hard not to dance to. So good. Stockholm Syndrome + the outro riffs are worth the price of admission alone. Starlight still sucks. I'm glad plug in baby has been missing from the sets. It was getting beyond tired, though not as bad as feeling good. All said the two shows have totally rekindled what was a dwindling interest in their live show.

I was at Weenie Roast and thought it was good though I wouldn't rank it very high among their other shows I've seen. To my surprise I thought Psycho and Dead Inside were real highlights. Still think Reapers stinks and don't understand it at all. I never catch myself wishing a song was already over like that one. The very last notes at the end were definitely badass though and very... Muse. Really I think I'm just a little burned out on all the tracks that have been played a million times, probably my own fault for seeing them 10+ times. Still looking forward to the arena tour though!

I saw the setlist for weenie roast, it'd definitely be tough to get amped up with that lineup at the 10+ shows mark.

# ? May 18, 2015 16:33 |

Yeah, really should have gone to the Mayan show... Only chose Weenie Roast cause I'm a bit obsessed with Florence at the moment, but those short rear end sets were weak.
