Muse
I saw Muse last night at the Acer Arena, discovering their visit a few days before almost accidentally. Even with less than optimal seating (I was up the top of the arena and to the side-rear of the stage) it was a fantastic experience. On top of the live music, there was a fantastic use of colour, with the screens and laser lights. The stagecraft of the concert was really fine-tuned. The gigantic eye balloons that dropped into the mess of crowd and light was a great effect. And Muse played straight for two hours, without a break. They'd rest by letting another band member do a drum, guitar, piano or harmonica sola, so that the music never stopped. I even bought a t- shirt! Despite the fine, concert-going wisdom imparted to me by sirtwist, there were still plenty of folk there clad in the current tour's shirt. And a large number of scalpers outside, even those selling cheap merchdise!
