After months and months of waiting, after crying when successfully applying for tickets, last night was truly incredible. Those that know me will know that I am obsessed with Muse, and my third time seeing them last night was easily the best time of my life.
Without zoom - I was this close! |
Highlights for me were 'Map of the Problematique', possibly my favourite song ever, and 'Panic Station', a new experimental funk track off their #1 album 'The 2nd Law'. Old classics such as 'Plug in Baby' and 'New Born' sent the crowd wild - that's when the moshing began! The visuals on the ginormous pyramid above the stage were also amazing, particularly Dom dressed as a ninja fighting off enemies with his drumsticks during Uprising!
I emerged from the arena at the end limping due to an injured knee (no thanks to the guy who pulled me over during the last song!) and a lost voice due to screaming the words at the top of my voice. Even today, it is painful to breathe from being crushed for a majority of the gig. But it was sooo worth it!
