fantastic show. i had a blast... and like the aforementioned comment it was an 90 minutes of a band showing off... but at least they had something to show off. was quite pleased with the setlist as well.
 
 enjoyed the cold war kids, but have to admit, they are much better in a smaller setting.
 
 it was a bit odd being completely surrounded by 15-year-olds in muse shirts AT the muse show. apparently they never got that memo.
 
 also, nice to meet you DeathFromAbove1979. apparently we had been standing next to each other during all of cold war kids and didn't realize it.
nothx

Actually the memo for the Patriot Center is that everyone under 18 HAS to wear the bands merch on the night of the show, oh,  and be as annoying as hell.   But it sounds like you kept the little buggers in check, leave it to Miss P to make even the kiddie suburban knuckleheads all wobbly in the knees.   :D

Great show, solid performers, gotta love it.
 Was sufficiently inspired (and slow at work) to check out the Muse wiki, and found a treasure trove of great live audio. Got their 2004 Glastonbury show on now, with one of the recent Wembley shows on deck. Love that.
 
 Cold War Kids... eh.

Matthew Bellamy *might* be the most impressive musician I've ever seen live.  The fact that somebody has that kind of command of voice, piano and guitar is pretty ridiculous.
 
 Great show.  I thought after awhile it sort of blended together a bit, but generally speaking, I thought they were fantastic.
 
 I also completely disagree with whomever said the drum sound was weak.  I thought in general the sound was great for that room.

Better show than Lolla for sure. I did enjoy it!
 
 I took a friend and he said:
 
 "It was a good show, but I couldn't understand a single word he says, except for the cover song [Feeling Good]"

I'm so jealous that they played Feeling Good!  I've seen them 3 times and hadn't seen that yet.  Looks like they've significantly upped the stage pyrotechnics since last I saw them at the Curiosa Festival.

my Muse pix   (slideshow)
 
 4 short vids, bundled into two zips:

 great show.  i enjoyed the lolla performance a tad more, i thought the bigger stage suited the set-up a little better but i'm really nit-picking.  the three-part transparent video screen that they had (see above vids for short examples) was very impressive... see-through when off, almost opaque when on.  visually this show was one of the best i've seen in a while, lighting and projections were top-notch.  last tour i saw that was of this calliber was NIN, and this was better.  sound was really good, for an arena.
 
 CWK were kinda boring.  what was the idea behind starting off their show with a funeral march?!?  they just never seem to connect with the audience.  sorta weird to be at a MUSE show and think that a band is too artsy      :)

that's the half-arena set-up (not 2/3     :)    ).  floor was sold out but the concourse wasn't, top 6-8 rows were consistently empty throughout the venue... i'd say the show was somewhere north of 80% capacity.  on the upside, this was the first time i've experienced *no* lines for beer or bathrooms, which was welcome!  good thing they didn't go for a full-arena set-up - although it's kinda sad to realize that these guys can sell out wembley two nights in a row...

So, all talk and no action. LOL. Typical.
 
 I was just playing anyway ... but I suspect you knew that.

I've got a pretty decent recording of this show.  PM me if you're interested in getting a copy.
