    Muse On Tour

    Just got my tickets for Cincinnati on Feb 27th

    http://muse.mu/tour-dates.htm

    Saw them on the last tour & they were great fun, though I felt a bit old and out of place as the only person without a cellphone camera.

    I blame Wynton, what was the question?

    I saw them last tour and really enjoyed it.

    I do like the new album more than the last one, but I'll probably pass on them this time. I don't feel like spending $65 + charges for tickets.

    Saw them tonight in Cinci in an arena about 80% full. Very good set, great stage show, sound not great. Had a really good time.

    My son is seeing them in New York he's been trying to tell me that there shows are comparable to Pink Floyd's. I never seen them live but I have see Floyd and that a pretty big comparison to be making.

    Their shows are pretty spectacular. Easily, imo, eqivalent of the Gilmour led band.

    what was the crowd like, age-wise? Lots of younger people (like 20's?). Old aging progheads?

    That last Gilmore tour had a pretty decent light show not as big a production as the Floyd shows but it was still better than most other shows. I guess my son is on the right track with this one then.

    The stage show was great, big curved video screen behind the band, another big pyramid one over the band, loads of laser, lights video & effects. The lights and effects matched the music extremely well.

    There was a good mix of 20's, 30's and 40's plus, lots of women, lots of kids. There were a few aging proggers but not many.

    Did the drummer/bass player do their two minute Helsinki jam ?

    Nope, though they did channel Hendrix for the Star Spangled Banner

    Surprised there is no Philly show. IIRC they played 2 sold out or almost sold out shows last tour at the Wells Fargo/Wachovia/First Union/Spectrum 2 or whatever the fuck they call it now building.

    Wells Fargo center...for now. I wish there was a Philly show too. I just got into Muse in the last year after those shows happened. I'm sure they will be back though, unless they are one of these bands that will break up at the height of their popularity.

    on the fence about trying to go as the show is on Thursday evening, but if I do, it'll be the same deal as Rush and The Who = I go down to street outside Target Center and have $30 with me and find someone willing to sell me an extra ticket for that.

    that's the way to do it. . I do this a lot. What's funny is when you get people trying to sell a ticket above face value or tell you how the show is awesome, once in a lifetime/whatever. I just shrug my shoulders and say "whatever, I'll be just as happy to go home and be in the comfort of my own home by 9pm today as I would be going to the show"

    A close friend of mine and my daughter both love this band so I got sucked into going. I hope it will be entertaining.
