Dublin, November 6th 2009 - Review

There was a lot of expectation involved leading up to the moment the lights went down. For instance, I expected that Dublin's O2 would be absolutely jam-packed by the time I got my place (around 8.05pm, less than 25 minutes before a certain Devon three piece were due on stage). I was rather surprised to find that I could get myself a spot that was five rows back from the barrier (and to the extreme left - wouldn't have taken my chances in a pit again if I could have). I also expected that tonight was going to be something truly special. It's not every day that a band that so many have claimed to be the best live act on the planet drop in, after all.

The first thing that told me that this was going to be something different to any other gig I'd been to was the elaborate stage set-up. I didn't know what exactly the two (super)massive structures on stage were, so I'll just refer to them as oh, video towers or something.

(I'll try not to use that pun too much.)

The crowd seemed very expectant too. Every time a track playing over the PA finished, there would be a cheer from those on the balcony. A cheer that would die down as the next song started up. For the record, one of the tracks played over the PA was a remix of 'Never Miss A Beat' from Kaiser Chiefs' god-awful third record 'Off With Their Heads' - and what's more, it actually sounded half-decent (and a major improvement on the original song, I might add).

But yes, that moment did soon arrive. The lights dimmed, and the band took to the stage. When I say 'took to the stage', I mean 'were elevated from inside the video towers'. Yes. They gradually opened to reveal Matthew Bellamy, Chris Wolstenholme, and Dominic Howard. Nice subtle opening then?

It could only have started with one song, and that song was a breathtaking version of 'The Resistance''s lead single 'Uprising'. Instantly, every single person in the room knew that they are in for something stunning.

'Resistance' seemed to get much less of a reaction than I'd been expecting (I knew it would be played as it is most likely the third single from the album), but then things really got going with the epic 'New Born' - which has been allocated an eyebrow-raisingly early slot in the set. Granted, it was played at a slightly slower tempo than the studio version, but that made not one bit of difference to us.

Some 'Black Holes and Revelations' material followed, namely 'Map of the Problematique' (my favourite Muse song from the past three years) and a sublime 'Supermassive Black Hole' that actually couldn't have been more well received.

Next up was 'Hysteria', which got everyone, even the rather annoyingly static and tall person in front of me, moving. Then, as the piano was rolled out, we were treated to a rather nice surprise in the form of a bass-and-drums version of 'Showbiz'-era b-side 'Nishe'. It was one of only two tracks from back then that got aired tonight, the other being a stunning version of 'Unintended' which went down extremely well considering its relative obscurity.

Between these, 'United States of Eurasia' and 'Feeling Good' were brought out. The former has really come into its own as a live track - the studio version continues to leave a bit of a sour taste, mind. We were soon back into a more upbeat mood with forthcoming single 'Undisclosed Desires'.

That's when things really took off. We got three 'hits' in a row: A euphoric 'Starlight' (which proves that Muse really do have the crowd, despite the slightly detached atmosphere that can't really be helped, especially when you consider the elaborateness of the setup); 'Plug In Baby'; and 'Time Is Running Out'.

Then, to close off the main set, the band brought out my favourite song on the new record: the seven-minute 'Unnatural Selection'. I was surprised at how little moshing there was going on in certain songs, but everyone got into it here. The highlight of the night, and that is really saying something.

A short five-minute break, and the band returned for three encores. Part one of the 'Exogenesis' symphony was first up. My word, it really does work in a live setting! In fact, last night's rendition trumped the album version.

Then, to finish, the band gpt back to rocking out with 'Stockholm Syndrome', before the curtain was brought down on a spectacular night with 'Knights of Cydonia'. Plumes of smoke shot up into the air as the last note was played: a fitting ending to a gig such as this.

People often accuse Muse of hiding behind elaborate setups, not having the songs to make them stand up on their own. Bullshit. Everything was going for them tonight. Great songs, brilliant crowd, and the show? Well, it was something that had to be seen to be believed. Muse were on form last night, and when they are on form, no other band comes close. Best live band in the world? You bet.

[Bernard]

tl;dr version:

That was the best gig I have ever been to.

:P

[Imke]

Awesome review. Thanks a lot. :kiss:

It reminded me so much of my concert ... although it makes me kinda sad, that they didn't play Unintended and Feeling Good at my gig. :\

They are truly incredible live.

[Bernard]

You're welcome. :)

[Legal Princess]

The Paris gig will come very soon on 17th of this month. I'm counting down the days.:heart:

[Bernard]

You're in for a good time, to say the least!

[jenflor]

@Bernard- was the above review YOUR review? It was fantastic! sounds like an awesome show... I hope I get a chance to see it soon!

[Bernard]

Yes, it was indeed, and thank you. :)

And you should, soon enough - surely there's a full U.S. tour in the works? The Resistance has gone down amazingly well over there.

[jenflor]

^Yes, that's what I'm hoping. I've heard possibly March/April/May here in the US. Fingers crossed! ;)

[*Perrine*]

Yes!!
The Eurasia and pregnancy ones are so great!

Oh Perrine, have fun geting lost in that thread and :laugh4: all night!!
True haha, aww poor Dom :D
I don't think I have the strength today, will have a look someday !

Oh I also love that one signature with the google "screencap"
Did you mean: Da myoozee? :lol:
Where is this from ? It remembers me how that stupid italian woman was saying Muse haha

^Yes, that's what I'm hoping. I've heard possibly March/April/May here in the US. Fingers crossed! ;)
I really hope you'll get to see them, they're amazing :cheesy:

[Corkus]

Fantastic review Bernard! Read the whole thing! They seem to be rotating the Showbiz-era songs, from what I'm gathering. I hope Unintended continues to get played.

[Bernard]

Aw, shucks. :cheesy:

Muscle Museum would be nice wouldn't it?

[*Perrine*]

Oh yeah it would !! :wacky:

What about Bliss ?

[CPRani]

Apocalypse Please would have been wicked!

[Bernard]

I hate how they don't play all the songs now that were regulars up 'til the last tour, but ESPECIALLY APOCALYPSE PLEASE.

[Corkus]

I'm especially saddened by the exclusion of Butterflies & Hurricanes on this tour.
But I guess that's what happens when you have such a vast library of fantastic songs (which will only get bigger). :\

[Legal Princess]

The Amnéville setlist sounds great. I wish they played Unintended and Bliss.

[Plug_in_coldplaying]

awesome review

[Imke]

Songs I really missed:
- Bliss
- Butterflies and Hurricanes
- The Small Print
- Sunburn
- Sing for Absolution
- Apocalypse Please
- Unintended
- Muscle Museum
- Citizen Erased
- Exo-Politics

... I should probably stop now. :dead:

[deaths_friend]

i wish they would just add another 3 or 4 songs to their set. almost every band who have released 5 or more albums play 20+ song sets. even if they dont want to do more songs could they pleeeassseeee pleease please do Sing For Absolution.

[Plug_in_coldplaying]

You have a point there. I actually think they should play at least 22 songs and I really hope they add some new ones to the setlist if they do a stadium tour next year.
I belong to you deserves to be played live.

[deaths_friend]

does anybody know how long these shows have been going for? over 90mins or have they crossed 100mins? chili peppers have 9 albums under their belts yet they still never play more than 20 songs a night but the shows are over 2hrs every night. they make up the time with extended jamming and improvisation. how would muse fans feel about that? would most of you get bored watching the boys just jam? rather see more songs?

[Imke]

Hmm, comparing it to the Wembley gigs from 2007 I think they "jam" a lot less during this tour. And I'd estimate they play around 100min ...
I'd rather have them play Bliss and a few other songs than just jamming and impro, tbh.

[Legal Princess]

I've just read they'll give a concert in Seattle on 15th of December.

[Starlight Chaser]

Some of the gigs have been longer than others, the ones I went to were almost two hours. They do a lot of jams! But, the most recent gigs have definitely been shorter. Sadly!

[shesawsparks]

I'M SEEING THEM AGAIN ON FRIDAY!!! :wacky::bomb::dance::escaping3:

[*Perrine*]

Yay !!!

They'll do a tour stadium next year, and I'm so gonna see them, so they'll HAVE to play more songs:whip:

me too, should we make a suicide pact?

[tauiwi]

The song's good, piano piece after it puts me to sleep.

[deaths_friend]

Warning: this is just my opinion and i respect people who disagree with it

United States of Eurasia is by far the worst song Muse have ever written and i really hope it remains that way.

[SueDeNimes]

Hi!
I admit that I was weirded out when I first heard it and thought that someone must've mixed up the songs :lol: but it grew on me pretty fast.

Hey, it's your opinion! :nice:
Good that everyone's different.

I like the Resistance a lot - even more after knowing that it is about the love story in 1984.

So do you like the rest of the album??

[CPRani]

I actually like United States of Eurasia, but yeah, everyone's got their own opinion!
The Resistance is getting better and better for every listen!

[violetsparks]

deaths_friend: Hey, whatever floats your boat. I don't have a problem.

I personally think "Uprising" is highly overrated, even though I like the song. Maybe it's just me.

[karenc]

I like United States of Eurasia, it's not my favourite track on the album but it's good :D

Undisclosed Desires and Uprising are probably my favourites.

[Gilda]

:\

[Legal Princess]

United States of Eurasia is quite a good song. I also love MK Ultra which is one of my favorites, the Resistance too. Undisclosed Desire is good.

[watsername182]

I quite like United States of Eurasia. :)

[Corkus]

USoE isn't bad, but it's one of my least favorite tracks off The Resistance. It's lyrically terrible, and while I understand they weren't taking themselves seriously with "Eura-SIA! SIA! SIA! SIA!", it doesn't make it any less painful. I'll gladly listen to Collateral Damage, however.

[tauiwi]

Comparatively it's not one of the best off the album, with MK Ultra, Unalterable Selection, Uprising and Unnatural Desires...

[*Perrine*]

Unnatural selection :P

[HorrificAttack]

Guiding Light is one of the worst songs ever.

[tauiwi]

Unnatural selection :P

Wow, Track title fail. Ha, i didn't notice!

:D
I'm always here to notice random fails ^^

YouTube- Muse "Supermassive Black Hole" Live at Glasgow SECC, 09-Nov-2009

[SueDeNimes]

Wembley date announced! :bomb:

[busybeeburns]

http://i.thisislondon.co.uk/i/pix/2009/11/muse-o2_243.jpg
Colour field: Matt Bellamy leads Muse into Queen territory with his comedy pink trousers

With Coldplay in cold storage, Radiohead in confusion, Oasis no more and Kasabian not quite there yet, Muse are Britain’s most popular band.

But whereas stardom has made Coldplay grateful and Radiohead guilty, Muse act as if their fifth and current album, The Resistance, topping charts from Austria to Australia and this British tour selling its near 100,000 tickets in minutes. are the most just of deserts and my, they swagger more than a band led by a man in comedy pink trousers otherwise might.

With their gigantic riffs and intricate melodies, the Teignmouth trio (plus a keyboardist lurking guiltily in the shadows) are in thrall to Queen — United States Of Eurasia was bursting to break into We Are The Champions — to whey-faced Goths, to Rush and to the spirit of adventure that gave the evening the feel of an almost out-of-control rollercoaster.

Unashamedly aloof leader Matt Bellamy’s penchant for a wonky conspiracy theory ensures that he’s hardly the most intellectual tool in pop’s box but aided by a rabid crowd, a laser-guided light show and, during Plug In Baby, some Prisoner-style giant balloons, he proved himself to be the master of an edgy, uncompromising spectacle — from the Dr-Who-theme-influenced Uprising, to the anthemic Starlight via the impossibly epic and impossibly daft Knights Of Cydonia.

The British pop music industry may be eating itself but if Muse are the pick of what it can offer the world in 2010 then British music is in rude health indeed.

The British pop music industry may be eating itself but if Muse are the pick of what it can offer the world in 2010 then British music is in rude health indeed.

Colour field: Matt Bellamy leads Muse into Queen territory with his comedy pink trousers

With Coldplay in cold storage, Radiohead in confusion, Oasis no more and Kasabian not quite there yet, Muse are Britain’s most popular band.

But whereas stardom has made Coldplay grateful and Radiohead guilty, Muse act as if their fifth and current album, The Resistance, topping charts from Austria to Australia and this British tour selling its near 100,000 tickets in minutes. are the most just of deserts and my, they swagger more than a band led by a man in comedy pink trousers otherwise might.

With their gigantic riffs and intricate melodies, the Teignmouth trio (plus a keyboardist lurking guiltily in the shadows) are in thrall to Queen — United States Of Eurasia was bursting to break into We Are The Champions — to whey-faced Goths, to Rush and to the spirit of adventure that gave the evening the feel of an almost out-of-control rollercoaster.

Unashamedly aloof leader Matt Bellamy’s penchant for a wonky conspiracy theory ensures that he’s hardly the most intellectual tool in pop’s box but aided by a rabid crowd, a laser-guided light show and, during Plug In Baby, some Prisoner-style giant balloons, he proved himself to be the master of an edgy, uncompromising spectacle — from the Dr-Who-theme-influenced Uprising, to the anthemic Starlight via the impossibly epic and impossibly daft Knights Of Cydonia.

[ze_scientist]

i was watching a french music channel and they showed the best bands that Muse listen and here we are with:

U2 :heart:, RATM :heart:, Queen, Arctic Monkeys, Marilyn Manson :P, Depeche Mode, Archive, Nirvana, Pearl Jam :heart:, Radiohead :heart: and Green Day

it was an amazing playlist, i enjoyed the songs soo much :D

[Kite]

Why does the Wembley dates be on the same weekend at End of the Road (of which I'm planning to get tickets for when they come on sale somepoint)?

[jimmyneutron]

I Think its time a new poll was put on this thread, if possible, with the new album and all

No, JK. But srsly. He scares me. :uhoh: :bigcry:

[SueDeNimes]

Now they announced there will be a pre-sale... but at seetickets!! :bigcry:
WHY??? :snobby:

I don't get it.
Snow Patrol did this too and seetickets is the worst if you don't live in the UK.
No way I'm ordering there to end up queuing at the box office on the morning of the concert.

Again: :bigcry:

[Corkus]

Hell yes. Been checking KROQ's website for the past week, and they just confirmed rumors that Muse will be headlining Almost Acoustic Christmas in Los Angeles on December 13th. It's not a full show, but hey, I'll try to rally some people to come anyways. (Phoenix is playing too!) :D

I'm pretty sure he makes small children cry and scars them for life.

[shesawsparks]

I saw Muse on Friday at the O2 arena in London. Was absolutely awesome!!! My seat was quite high up but it was right at the side of the stage so i had a pretty good view. I feel sooo lucky that on this night they played not only Cave but Mk Ultra!!! :o:dead: Other highlights for me were Knights Of Cydonia, Unnatural Selection, New Born, Undisclosed Desires (this song practically killed me :dead:) and Plug In Baby.

Pics here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2042376&id=1481104563

Videos: This is the video i took of Exo-Genesis Symphony Pt. 1 (Overture) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGfaG0Ea-ZA To see the rest of them just click on the link that says, "More from kindakooky42" on that page (i won't post them all here cos there's rather a lot of them! :uhoh:)

[*Perrine*]

Very cool video ! I love this song :wacky:

And nice pants Matt xD

[SueDeNimes]

Can anyone please comfort me and say that we'll all get tickets for Wembley? :uhoh:
I'm freaking out here... :dizzy:

[CPRani]

You'll definitly get ticktes to Wembley on Friday, Anna :D!!

[SueDeNimes]

Thanks, Rania. :nice:

I shouldn't have looked at the Muse board today... they're so many and all of them worried.
They call it the "WWP Wembley Worry Party"!!

I can't wait to hear from Mounira and Camille... they're seeing them at the moment! :dance:

[Lore]

Anna I really hope you'll get tickets! Ren will try to go too!

[SueDeNimes]

Hi Lore!
Oh cool, fingers crossed for Ren as well then!

It's so annoying that seetickets doesn't deliver tickets outside the UK :bigcry:
Then I could try it at the pre-sale already. This way I have to wait until Friday.

Do you know when Ren is buying his ticket?

[Imke]

We get the tickets, Anna. :dance:
*optimism for all*

[*Perrine*]

I hope you'll get tickets girls :nice:

Btw, seems like Mounira had a blast, I don't know what happened with Camille though :\

[Tnspieler1012]

I'm sure I've posted this before, but this man is awesome. He's covered pretty much every major muse song.

So I tried to convert a friend of mine today. I was not very successful. :sad:

He told me that the band overall was quite good. He said, however, that Matt's voice didn't cut it for him. He described it as being "very shrewd." He put his opinions in a way to where I can fully respect him on his opinion...that is, until he said, "You'll never convert me, sorry." I was kind of mad, because it seemed like he didn't even want to consider anything that I was trying to point out.

Then, to make it worse, he started on Radiohead (which I had played for him earlier). He says, "You wanna know who that other band reminded me of? Green Day."

:stunned: :facepalm:

I love them but the two don't sound anything alike.

[Plug_in_coldplaying]

another birthday on Muse gig :happy:

[violetsparks]

Green Day?
I love them but the two don't sound anything alike.

I know! He tried to justify his opinion by noting that both of the bands' music is very "one-note." :shifty:

Well it took me like a month of so to fall for Muse and after that month I didn't like the 1st two albums that much to be honest, then I started listening some more and more and moar and I still don't know/love every song by heart, but I do love them so much :heart: and I know that eventually the songs I don't love will grow on me and will love them someday :P

About comparing Radiohead to Green Day....WTF? :wtf:.. that's...insulting.

What does your friend listen to? Nickelback? :inquisitive:

[Corkus]

I'M SEEING MUSE ON DEC. 13TH! :D
Just got pretty decent seats for KROQ AAC. It won't be a full show since there are other bands performing, but since they're the headliners, I still hope to hear a decently lengthy set.

Best of luck to those trying to get Wembley tickets! :thumbsup:

Yeah, I understand. "Showbiz" is my least fave album by far, although it's still good.

Actually, he's more of a jazz person. He also likes Switchfoot a lot.
