Last Saturday I travelled down to wembley stadium to see the final date in muse’s tour.
We arrived in time to see White Lies. They were very good and finished with the anthemic fairwell to the fairground. As with the other tracks it Has a distinctive 80s sound and the singing style sounds very similar to that of the Editors.
Second on stage Were Biffy Clyro. They opened with the enormous sounding ‘that golden rule’. I was a little disappointed that there were no strings in the song, but it was still very good. The rest of their set was very good with all tracks being excellent to sing along to.
After the Biffy set we had a 30ish minute wait before muse came on. After about 25minutes the spherical display screen high above the stage was switched on and The video of an eye was shown looking over various parts of the audience.
To continue the conspiracy theme, the set started with mock protesters carrying ‘they will not control us’ banners.
We were treated to 150 minutes of near constant music. The performance was absolutely incredible. Matt Bellamy’s voice was as brilliant as on the recordings. The drumming was really good and probably made the concert.
Muse played the majority of ‘the resistance’ and Some tracks from ‘black holes and revelations’, ‘absolution’ and ‘origins of symmetry’.
The first encore saw exogenisis part one performed with added visuals. The inflatable UFO was pulled around the pitch and part way through a female acrobat performed on a wire while hanging from it.
The show ended with an amazing rendition of ‘knights of cydonia’.
I will certainly see them again!
