Bonnie, Heather and I all headed to WaMu Theater last night for Deck the Hall Ball this year. It was my first time going (the previous lineups never really got me excited) and it didn't disappoint. After we parked, we had some dinner at Elysian Fields and headed in. We timed it perfectly to watch Metric. There were a couple bands on before them, but I wasn't really there to see them. I thought Metric put on a great show and her voice sounded nice. I wish I could have heard the words a little better, but I chalk that up to WaMu's inferior sound setup.
After that, the ladies discovered that actually standing further back in the room instead of trying to press closer to the stage offered a better view. So, we went into the beer garden near the back. It wasn't insanely crowded and I got to enjoy a drink at the same time.
30 Seconds To Mars then came out and sang songs. That's about all I remember. They're just not really my thing.
Then we get to Muse. Their set was only an hour long, but the entire setlist kicked ass. Not a bad song in the entire bunch. I would have loved to hear the latter half of United States of Eurasia and Exogenesis, but they're coming back on 4/2 and am hoping they'll play it then.
Without further ado, here's the awesome setlist:
MK Ultra
Interlude
Hysteria
Resistance
Supermassive Black Hole
Unnatural Selection
United States of Eurasia (w/o Collateral Damage)
Uprising
Starlight
Time Is Running Out
Plug In Baby
Knights of Cydonia
