4. Report It was my first MUSE concert, I'll not lie. But I plan on following it up with many more visits. All I need is money and convenience by actually having the shows in America! It kind of sucks that I'm over here when the main wave is on a different continent... But I've dealt. It was fantastic--splendid. My brother, who has quite the discerning taste, even though it was VERY admirable. That's really good coming from him, seriously. Beamudio 2050 days ago
5. Report The night I saw Muse was a night I'll never forget. It was my first ever concert and the most fun I had all year. A few years ago, Muse came to play at this very same venue, although my parents forbid me to go because they deemed me too young. Ever since, I lamented over not being able to see them before they became a success in this country. I was amazed to learn that Muse were revisiting The Pageant (a small nightclub) this year to delight us all once again with their marvelous music. This time, I simply had to go, and now being 15-years-old, my parents had no problem permitting me. I snatched the Internet pre-sale tickets hastily, expecting them to sell out in the twinkling of an eye. This rock band has it all; a boundless array of brilliant songs, overwhelming talent on the part of each band member, and the skill to deliver it all in concert. I know Muse is going to be reflected on someday the way we nowadays remember bands like Led Zeppelin - as legends. It is no wonder they are my favorite band. Extraordinarily enough, Muse's tickets for this concert never sold out. I suppose they aren't as immense a success over here as I thought they would be by now - nay, should be. I was attending this concert with my brother, who is, because of me, a Muse fan as well. He is totally mad about photography and we were both elated about the photographs he was going to be able to capture. Once over a month of waiting had passed, the date of the Muse gig had come at last. We turned up an hour early in an effort to get a hold of as good a spot as feasible inside. (It was general admission.) There was only a small line assembling in front of the club. It was the ideal September day to stay put for an hour in line; seventy degree weather and dazzling partly cloudy skies. Before we knew it, this hour of waiting had already drawn to a close and they were allowing us in. To our dismay, they were body searching and checking everyone's bags. This meant there was no means for us to sneak in a camera. My brother swiftly left his spot in line to put his camera back in his car. Fortunately, I was able to save us a table inside right by the amplifiers. We couldn't believe the photographic opportunity we were missing. Glancing around the venue, we discerned numerous people were candidly carrying cameras. We inquired a close by security personnel regarding why they were being authorized, when on The Pageant website it insisted that no cameras were admitted in. He indolently responded, "I guess they are tonight." My brother couldn't exit and retrieve his camera, as minors aren't allowed to leave the building until the concert has finished. We were very let down. At the very least, I had my cruddy camera phone. There was still an hour yet before Muse was going to be on stage. Even before they came on, the stage certainly looked thrilling. At the moment, the lighting was left blue and an evocative, almost haunting sound was emanating from the speakers. I don't know what this sound was for, but to me it indicated pure fervency. Indeed, Muse was to be soon performing on that very stage. It sounds juvenile, I'm sure, but this simple notion drew me into a whirl of eagerness. Scanning the scene, I couldn't believe how little the venue was. Muse go from headlining the Glastonbury Festival in the UK, to a minute nightspot in the US? I'm so grateful they are willing to grace us with their presence at that juncture. My brother and I chatted about which songs we were hoping Muse was going to perform. He mentioned "Plug in Baby", and I raised "Butterflies & Hurricanes" and "Apocalypse Please". Subsequently, the band opening for Muse - The Like - took to the stage. They were an all-girl band, and I distinguished by checking them out on their MySpace that they were nothing to look forward to. In spite, I thought they presented an endurable show - apart from the band gear errors. At one point in the show, one of the guitars released a horrendous shrill of feedback and pretty well left the entire crowd hearing-impaired. However, I had brought my noise-reducing earphones along and was impervious to this mishap. Not long after The Like, Muse were moments away from performing. The club was now clouded with smoke and I had begun to feel fairly ill. I was anxious that I wasn't going to be able to thoroughly enjoy the performance. Everyone began standing up, and my brother and I followed suit. A team of people walked onto the stage and removed a giant tarp - the crowd roared. Underneath it was Matthew Bellamy's elegant white piano. The team began testing each instrument. Someone went on the drums and was continuously striking them. The pounding of the drums was thunderous, so much so that I could feel it pulsating profoundly into my chest. This was intense. A man wandered onto the scene lugging one of Matt's Manson guitars with a Kaoss pad. The people standing alongside me were cogitating vocally as to what "that thing on his guitar" was. I explained that it was pretty much an effects processor, but this went unheard. In no time, Muse emerged and I felt well all over again. I loved what Matt was wearing - a white tee shirt with the black silhouette of a bird soaring. I flipped out like you wouldn't believe as they played their opening song, "Knights of Cydonia". The sound was SUPERB - earsplitting, but SUPERB. The stage lighting set-up was exceptional as well. As Matt sang the chorus with his powerful, opera house voice, the words were illustrated on several projectors above. ("No - one - is - going - to - take - me - alive. The - time - has - come - to - make - things - right. You - and - I - must - fight - for - our - lives. You - and - I - must -fight - to - survive.") While this occurred, Matt would hoist his finger in the air like a valiant, ardent world leader of sorts. The only word that comes to mind to describe it is "epic". Believe the hype surrounding this band's live shows. Believe it. I really don't think I'm exaggerating when I pronounce that they are possibly the greatest live band in history. Everything is nothing short of flawless. Matt's voice sounds all the more glorious and Freddie Mercury reminiscent live than on record. The same can surely be said for the instrumental facet. After Muse performed a tremendous "Supermassive Black Hole", complete with utter Kaoss pad guitar insanity, they commenced the earth-shattering intro to "Butterflies & Hurricanes". I couldn't believe it! They were playing one of the songs I had wished they'd play, right before my eyes! I jumped up and down and squealed my lungs out. I observed in wholehearted awe as Matt expertly played the piano portion of the song. Eek! I feel like screaming when just recollecting it! Throughout the concert, this guy just to the front of us was going completely nuts. He stood on a table and clapped his hands together outrageously, much like a hefty, Southern Baptist church-going woman. On occasion, he would break out into an insane, high-speed dance that looked like it'd belong inside a tawdry disco joint. Thank goodness he was so short; otherwise I wouldn't be able to see Muse. I wasn't entirely lacking my share of Muse concert folly myself. You know those girls you see on television in the audience at concerts? The ones that, during the slow songs, tilt their head like a wooed princess and sing along? I never thought I would be, but that was me when Muse played "Invincible" and then "Starlight". Following those songs, Matt played the guitar riff that earned him number 13 in Total Guitar's poll of the Top 100 Riffs - the one from "Plug in Baby". I looked over to my brother - this was the song he was anticipating before they played, and of course, I was too. Matt hopped around with his guitar, Chris was evermore bobbing his head, and Dom was all over his clear drumkit. For a time, I unfocused my eyes from Muse and peered over to the swarm of Musers on the dance floor - everyone was jumping up and down simultaneously. Soon, Muse played "Assassin", which was positively phenomenal. Many people on the dance floor were head-banging to it as though they were at a Metallica show. This is something else that is fantastic about Muse - the multiplicity of genres they put in their music. Alas, the concert had all gone by like lightning. After they played "Stockholm Syndrome" - one of my favorite songs - the group left the stage. I couldn't believe it was over. Was it really? Everyone began repeatedly chanting, "We want Muse!" My brother and I chanted accordingly. It wasn't long before Muse resurfaced on the stage. What did they play for the instigation of their encore? The other song I hoped they'd play, of course - "Apocalypse Please"! Naturally, I lost it. I then take a quick look behind me, and all of a sudden the entire place is packed like a sardine can. After "Apocalypse Please" had ended, everyone relaxed as Muse performed "Soldier's Poem". At this point I felt I could remove my ear buds. What a beautiful tune that is. I had to remind myself to take a breather through the slower songs, so I wouldn't, like, have a fainting fit or anything. Lol. I could tell that "Feeling Good" was coming next...and so it was. That song is so grand live. Matt flung confetti up in the air as he sang and tickled the ivories on his handsome piano. When they were finished performing the wicked opener for their newest album, "Take a Bow", they were finished with the set list. The concert was over. Of course, we didn't desire it to end. We stayed behind and waited to see if we could meet the band. To our discontent, they told us to leave. All the same, we walked away from The Pageant well-pleased. Ok! We walked out of there with our minds blown! Truly incredible. Voice 2063 days ago
