This is a complete run through of what WENT DOWN at the convention center today.
So me and my dad arrive, take our seat which aren't on the floor mosh pit but are not in Alaska, and we wait. Silversun Pickups open the show; I haven't heard them before but they were quite good, and the frontman was cracking jokes, trying to see which side of the audience could beat each other with camera flashes,etc. Having neve been to a concert, I thought their setup was quite good, (lights). They had simple colors along with strobe lights and spotlights and the like.
Then the frontman calls our attention to what we assumed was just part of the background, three towers behind them. He says, "Look. See that thing behind (Nikki?[bass player])? Joe, hey Joe, did you notice that big thing behind you? Oh, wait... there's one behind me too! Heh... we didn't bring those. Guess who did?"
The audience screeches, "MUUUUUUUUUUSE!"
The guy laughs, and says "Thats right. And let me tell you- they use the firetruck outta them."
Oh was a truer statement ever spoken?
So eventually they leave and we wait for Muse. We wait. And we wait. Then the lights go out, and the cheering begins. For ten more minutes, we wait.Everyone is a little confused, because theres no drumset on stage. Where ARE they? Then-
BAM!
Out of nowhere, Uprising EXPLODES out of all the instruments, and the middle section of the towers open, and there's Muse, 15 feet in the air in glowing red towers with sexy close ups of them singing. They could have been dancing jigs and screaming "HA! Look what we've got!" and it wouldn't have made a diffrence. EVERYBODY cheered, and what happened next was a laser-tastic, tower image,screaming, jumoing up and down in place, turquoise pants, throw-balloons-filled-with-confetti-into-the-audience, piano-fied, running back and forth, letting the crowd sing, popping balloons with guitar, winnie the pooh song, harmonica ARMAGEDDON.
