why not: Muse rollcall

[Vas Deferens]

well to be honest, Lolla saturday was lackluster for me until the Hold Steady, which started around 5 or so? Matt & Kim, I'm From Barcelona, Rodrigo Y Gabriela all put me in a bad mood. I really should have gone late. I did like the songs from Absolution, but songs from the last album didn't really sounded good to me. But see I don't expect to be blown away every time I see a favorite band... I'm not bnyced...j/k

Huh?
 
 I only have a few FAVORITE bands, and they are so designated precisely because they do tend to blow away everytime whether I expect it or not.  And for the record, Muse isn�??t one of them, and neither are the Smashing Pumpkins for that matter which might be a stunner for some.  My true favorite list is very lean, and doesn�??t include anyone that�??s much short of double-digit albums with a few notable exceptions.  They are in no particular order�?�
 
 Cure
 Depeche Mode
 Morrissey
 Ani Difranco
 Sonic Youth
 Bjork
 Mariah Carey
 PJ Harvey
 New Order
 Prince
 Slayer
 Madonna
 
 That�??s the only list that I always expect a great gig, and can�??t remember a time when they didn�??t deliver.  I listen to a ton of music, and go to many shows, but don�??t confuse bands that I think are good live with my favorites or those that get a pass, just about everyone else has to win me over anew each time they play, some do and some don�??t but you can only call me a homer for those listed above.

Isn't the word I would have used, but close.

Yeh, I'm setting up shop in NY that weekend, Metric, Chemical Brothers/Ladytron, Cure, Bjork Fri-Mon

Great show.  Subtlety is not exactly their strong suit.  Very loud and very over the top.  Bellamy is a terrific frontman.  
 
 I was also pleasantly surprised by the sound in the Patriot Center.  From my vantage point it didn't sound like complete shit.
 
 More thoughts later...

I've been a fan of Muse since 1999. Unfortunately, I've yet to see them live. I have to ask though, what was the set list? Did they play anything from their first two albums???

ok well dont be a stranger then. on that note, i guess youll be seeing chemical brothers/ladytron at mccarren pool? can anyone tell me which venue is better for chem bros? or which is preferable and why. not been to either, and both dates are good for me. any input would help. the pro for hammerstein for me is its really damn close to where i live.

Chems outdoors will be infinitely better, was going to settle for Hammerstein by default but this will be great,  weather willing.  McCarren is a great venue, and for a  show like this,  perfect, everyone can spread out vertically and get their groove on, where as Hammerstein with its levels and confined space won't work as well IMO.  
 
 You're not going to see Metric?  Seems like the decision would be a no brainer then.
 
 Oh and the Muse attendees that had such a great time, you suck   :p

After I got Seats 1 and 2 in Section 101 for the presale I was wondering why they didn't release anything in sections closer to the stage.  Of course upon arrival I was pleasantly surprised to find out that they were only using about 2/3 of the arena so my section was actually the closest to the stage with my seat being lined up with the front row of the floor (and being 7 rows up it was high enough to see over the speakers on the corner of the stage).  So visually I was good to go and musically they were good, my only complaints were no "Assassin" and that the drum sound was pretty weak throughout, probably too much dependence on triggers and electronics.  But at least I was able to see them in an air conditioned venue and take in all of their light and stage show instead of standing and sweating my ass off outside at a festival.
