Now the for excitement part; Muse played a FULL set. I was afraid that a 'full set' by MTV's terms was a handful of songs. It was also awesome in how small the venue was; despite being in the back corner, they were no more than forty or fifty feet away. But with the size of the venue, they could not provide their usual over-the-top production but with the energy they perform with, it didn't matter. The set was as so:
Unnatural Selection
Map of the Problematique
Interlude + Hysteria
Resistance
New Born
United States of Eurasia
Starlight
Undisclosed Desires
Time Is Running Out|
Uprising (TV Edit + Riff)
Supermassive Black Hole
Plug In Baby
Knights of Cydonia (Man With Harmonica Intro)
Though not as full as their previous paid gigs, I was more than satisfied since it was a free show. MTV recorded the entire set and will release it sometime in the future. For my US comrades, you can watch three songs from The Resistance from last night's gig below (including "Resistance", "Uprising" and "United States of Eurasia"); for my international comrades, you can download the videos for "Resistance" and "United States of Eurasia" here.
enjoy.
