Muse were excellent last night.

Somewhere between Mozart, Wagner, Black Sabbath, Abba and Metallica (and a little Status Quo) come this excellent band, and bombast after bombast just blew me away! The reviewer for the Scotsman just implied that they were Radiohead wannabes...what a load of balls! There are certainly similarities, but they are a very different beast. Highly recommended.

Am feeling a little guilty as I realised after arrival that I should have checked to see if silverclear wanted to come. Sorry! I'm crap *sigh*

They did quite an even mix across the three albums, including all the well-known stuff. I don't know them well enough to be able to name some of the more obscure album tracks, but it was a ninety-minute set, so they were able to cover all bases. The intro to New Born was sweet anticipation!

they have 4 albums ... or were you not counting the new one? Showbiz, OoS and Absolution, then the new one, Black Holes and Revelations, from which they played at least the title track. I don't have the two newest but I think I'll get at least BH&R now, last night was fantastic!

I *think* they played Sunburn, and Cave, Showbiz, New Born, Bliss, Plug In Baby, Time is Running Out, Hysteria, plus probably more from the albums I don't know. They opened with Knights of Cydonia and as I said they played Starlight at some stage.

Oops, I forgot about Showbiz :op

it sounds incredible.
MUST get tickets next time! MUST!

The last two albums, are, i think the best. Absolution is very 'epic' / 'melodramatic' / 'apocalyptic' style. Really worth getting as it's only about £8 online these days. I bet Starlight was brilliant live. Oh, and New Born! Wow. Hope someone puts a video up online!
