Muse concert last night!

Highlights

IMPECCABLE playing from the band, it was really tight and after songs they would do little jam sessions that were really impressive. The drummer was especially solid and Matt Bellamy had his piano with him this time, and it was sweeeeeet. And okay so the bassist doesnt have anything cool to do but he didn't screw up in the slightest so they're awesome. Incredible lightshow, strobes and colours and really well timed with the music, balloons filled with confetti, awesome smoke plumes...and did I mention awesome music? Man. It's like the album x 50.

Lowlights

People not managing to clap in the right tempo as the band...like, they'd end up faster and it would be annoying...luckily Muse ignored the bad Auckland timing. The girl who told me to shut up while we were singing along. I think I gave her ridiculous evils and she said sorry. But then again lol I did yell shut up during Matt Bellamy's piano solo...the ridiculously sweaty people who would walk past and force your contact with them...like people with t-shirts that were *drenched* in sweat...urgh. And then there was this tall dude who had one stance (jumping up and down with his hand raised with a finger to the air) and he had long hair sort of slicked back and he was really sweaty so everytime he jumped it sort of rained sweat behind him onto us...and yeah at first we didn't have a good view and it was really cramped but for some reason about halfway through when we made our way forward it actually got looser. Strange.


As you can see, none of the lowlights are the band's fault. Muse is excellent. I hope they return again!
