Muuuuuse!

I managed to get out of the house on Friday to go and see Muse at Wembley Stadium *yay!* I was a bit nervous about going (big crowds and the London Underground...) but it was all ok in the end.

We weren't really bothered about seeing the support, so we went a bit later and got there about 7:30pm. It was packed! I've never seen Wembley Way so full, except on match days.

We got in the stadium and had a walk round, and I was was bad and had chicken nugget things and chips :( The price of their food it unbelievable - £8.90 it cost me!!

Muse came on at around 8:45pm, and were on for about 2 hours. Here's the set list:

Uprising
Supermassive Black Hole
New Born
Neutron Star Collision (Love Is Forever)
Butterflies & Hurricanes
Guiding Light
Hysteria
United States Of Eurasia
I Belong To You (+Mon Cœur S'ouvre à Ta Voix)
Feeling Good
Undisclosed Desires
Resistance
Starlight
House Of The Rising Sun
Time Is Running Out
Unnatural Selection
Soldier's Poem
Exogenesis: Symphony Part 1: Overture
Stockholm Syndrome
Take A Bow
Plug In Baby
Knights of Cydonia

During the show the band played on a hexagon platform in the middle of the crowd, and a UFO took to the air from behind the stage, with a woman attached to the underneath of it doing somersaults over the crowd! I do have a video of this, but Blogger is being moody and won't let me upload :(


It was difficult concentrating on the show though, as standing next to my brother was a middle aged man going absolutley NUTS! He nearly hit my brother in the face several times, his arms and legs going everywhere - it was quite entertaining really!

But our night was spoilt abit when it came to leave. After a show my brother and I stick around a while in our seats to let the crowds go down. We left it about 5 minutes then got up to go. As we did a steward was seen coming towards us and a few couples that were there and saying 'Is there a reason why you are sat there relaxing?'! It was the way he said it, bloody cheek! I understand they have to empty the venue so they can go home, but there's no need to talk to people like that. So my brother asked why he was being so mean and he got a load of abuse back from the steward. He was really rude and causing a massive fuss. So we're writing a letter of complaint to the stadium about him. Why are there so many idiots about?!

Apart from that incident it was an enjoyable evening. Our next gig is an Avenged Sevenfold double bill on the 30th and 31st October at Hammersmith. Woohoo!

  2. Oh those people at Wembley are total wankers. And you sat about where I did when I went and saw Muse there 3 years ago! I'm glad you had a nice time at the show generally. I totally don't missed the drama on the tube, though. Ugh, soooo many sweaty people.
