The Muse gig last night was awesome, phenomenal, momentous. All hackneyed superlatives used often enough, like in idiot tabloid frenzies, but this truly was something. Two encores containing 5 more songs (they only usually perform one) and the same huge balloons with the red/black confetti inside like on the Le Zenith DVD. Speaking of DVDs, I was speaking to some other fans from Bristol we came across in Starbucks before the gig, (they were going yesterday as well as the day before!!!) and it seemed they were filming loads of stuff, so I'm guessing another DVD is in the wings. It was annoying since they filmed lots of the guys in seats next to us but turned the camera off before they swung around to our little bit of the standing area, but I guess we got our dues when some cameraman wandered over to us just before they performed Plug In Baby in the first encore, so we might well end up on the DVD! Visuals and backdrops were exactly the same as at V Fest this summer - no surprises there, but who cares, since you don't go see a band for the video backdrops.
Strangely, not much moshing and loads of young & old ppl - it didn't really get going till the 2nd half of the gig. For a sold out gig, there was still plenty of space in which to move, and that's a great thing. I wanted to get a T-shirt at the end of the gig but had no money, so I had to settle for a £2 poster some guy sold me in the Tube station.
Nightmare journey home too! Lol. I took the Tube with Bob to Green Park, where he went his own way on the Jubilee Line, but the gates to the Victoria Line were shut, so I took the Circle Line to Westminster and onto Victoria that way. But when I got to Victoria there were no BR trains home so in the end I had to return to Earl's Court on the District Line, change to get a train on the Wimbledon strand, and get 'rescued' by my sister, on her way home herself from a party.
