3 Muse gigs you wished you saw

[Jay Bee]

Teignmouth Broadmeadow Sports Centre Feb 1994 - their first ever show in a battle of the bands contest.

Leeds Festival 25th August 2002 - I would have loved to see Muse at this show, friends tell me it was amazing, plus the Foo Fighter played after them.

MEN Manchester 29th November 2003 - The MEN is the only place in the North West where Muse come and I'd love to have seen them during the Absolution tour. I think the Absolution Tour had the best set-lists, and this one is no exception.

List of gigs and set lists is available on musewiki.
http://www.musewiki.org/Gigs

[Kieren]

Teignmouth Battle Of The Bands - 1994 (Obvious reasons)
Bizarre Festival - 2000 (That looks like a crazy gig on Youtube videos. Plus the blue hair and the fact they did Yes Please would help)
Wembley Stadium - 2007 (either gigs) I must be the only one on this forum who didn't go to one of them :$

[seregon]

Wembley Arena 2003- I was supposed to go to this but my mum was being a bit awkward. It was a great setlist too included Showbiz :(
Montreux Jazz Festival- Their best footage/performance I have ever seen, bloody fantastic
Eurokeenes 2000- Just would have been amazing to see them back then. I would have been like 12 mind but still

[Muttley]

Pretty easy for me

Vorst Nationaal 2003
Sheperd's Bush Empire 2006 (Secret Machines opened for them)
one of the Wembley shows in 2007

[Max]

Pretty easy for me

Vorst Nationaal 2003
Sheperd's Bush Empire 2006 (Secret Machines opened for them)
one of the Wembley shows in 2007

Really? Did they now?

Or are you confusing that with the Earls Court gig in 2004?

[WutDaFucksy]

29th May 2001 - Brixton Academy (London)
19th December 2004 - Earls Court (London)
17th November 2006 - National ice Centre Arena (Nottingham)

[seregon]

There was no support for them at Sheps Bush it was their own private gig :confused:

[seregon]

17th November 2006 - National ice Centre Arena (Nottingham)

Why? :LOL:

[WutDaFucksy]

Why? :LOL:

i would just loved to off seen the whole of BH&R in full :rolleyes:

:eek: its snowing here!

[Max]

i would just loved to off seen the whole of BH&R in full :rolleyes:

:eek: its snowing here!

Trust me, you wouldn't.

[punkrockerjazzie]

i would just loved to off seen the whole of BH&R in full :rolleyes:

:eek: its snowing here!

Schnow? :(

[noisy_silence]

Teignmouth Broadmeadow Sports Centre Feb 1994
Glastonbury 2004
one of Wembley 2007

[Muttley]

Really? Did they now?

Or are you confusing that with the Earls Court gig in 2004?

Yeah, must have been the case. I just wanted to be at the concert Secret Machines did in Sheperd's Bush Empire in 2006 :$

Don't really care about MUSE being there or not. It just would've been nice

[seregon]

i would just loved to off seen the whole of BH&R in full :rolleyes:

:eek: its snowing here!

Wembley 22nd would probably have been better Bliss & Feeling Good. Honestly it was crap worst Muse gig I have been too. Besides having a good spot

[Milky Joe]

If I could go back in time, I'd see:

1 Montreux
2 Le Zenith
3 Earls Court 19th (again, because I only knew a few Muse songs when I went)

And I'd also really like to see:

The Battle of the Bands 1994
Plymouth Hoe 1997 - Spiral Static and debut of Hate This and I'll Love You among others
Brixton Academy - either date 2001
Earls Court 20th - to see Glorious, and the last British performance of Space Dementia

But if I'm actually answering the question of what do I wish I saw, they would have to be gigs after I really got into Muse, which would be:

1 Reading 2006
2 Tokyo International Forum 2007
3 Sydney Entertainment Centre 2007

[Yus]

1. Montreux 2002
2. 17th June @ Wembley 2007 (I'd love to have gone to both)
3. Big Day Out Sydney 2004 (best version of SS)

:yesey:

[garp]

Pinkpop Festival 2000 (not sure why, just always wished I had)
Mod Club (Toronto) 2004 (before Muse became wider known in NA, they played in this teeny tiny venue)
Wembley Stadium 2007 (not for huge venues, but this looked like fun)

[Judderman]

when they were playing manchester roadhouse n such venues. and then like on the hullabaloo shows tour would of been good.

[coxoxi]

2004 T In the Park
2007 Wembley
2004 Glastonbury

but there's more...:)

[Mel64]

Couldn't stick to three gigs:

1. Wembley Stadium 2007 - Its probably one of the most talked about Muse gigs ever and I wasn't there :(
2. Wembley Arena 2006 - Just gotten into Muse to find out my friend was taking a day off college to go to this gig but had no spare tickets...
3. Bournemouth BIC 2003 - They were in my hometown but I wasn't aware of them back then!
4. Le Zenith 2001 - Would rather be in the crowd than watching it on DVD!
5. Bizzare Festival 2000 or Eurockéennes 2000 - Vintage Muse :happy:

[Helen T]

I wish I'd discovered them earlier. I swear I remember seeing posters up advertising their shows in 1999 when I was following other bands around the country. It might even have been earlier than that.

If I have to pick 3 particular shows, I'd say:

Le Zenith 2001
Glastonbury 2004
Earls Court 2004 (either)

[_Ed_]

20th got Space Dementia :(
That's why I chose it over the 19th. Always wanted to hear that live.

I understand why people would prefer Dead Star though, but I was lucky enough to see that in Auckland in 2004.

[Black Absolution]

1. Glastonbury - 2004
2. Madison Square Garden, NY - 2007
3. Any show from 2001 with Matt and his red hair.

[Muttley]

3. Any show from 2001 with Matt and his red hair.

....and the veins of his arms traced with a black marker

those were the kind of gimmicks that made me get a bit off them in that era :$

All that mattered to me was the music.

I must be the only one on here that didn't like his shenanigans back then (jumping on amps, riding on amps, etc.)

Pinkpop 2004 (that looked fucking mental and had a longer set than Glastonbury)
Earl's Court 2004 (either show, they both looked amazing)

[sockofwonders]

I would have loved to be at any of the gigs in the beginning when they were playing small venues, would be so awesome to be close to them, and way easier to meet them and be a groupie... though I would have been very young :S are we talking going back in time here? :L

[Fish Custard]

Earls' Court 04
Glastonbury 04

Would make me happy being at one of those 3 to be honest :stunned:

Wembley '07
BDO Sydney '10

[BLlSS]

1. Battle of The Bands 1994
2. Le Zénith - 29th October 2001 when they recorded the Hullaballoo DVD, it was just too perfect.
3. Reading Fest 2006 - They just played with so much emotion! It would've been great to been there

[hyper_chondriac_muser]

Montreux Jazz Festival 2002
Glastonbury Festival 2004
Earls Court 2004

As the latter two are quite similar setlist-wise, I think I should be allowed a fourth:

I'd potentially kill to have been at any of those (and many others) :p

[ilsiux]

Le Zenith, Paris 2001 (Hullabaloo)

[Grace_Bliss]

Why do you lot name gigs that are available to see on DVD as gigs you wish you could have seen? I dun geddit.

Watching a Muse gig on a DVD is so different from experiencing it live.

[samanthrax]

astoria '00
le zenith '01
glastonbury '04

:awesome:

[LyraSilvertongue]

Any on the Absolution tour.
I'm glad Wembley on the 11th seems to have gone down as a classic gig. I was there :happy:

[Matthijs]

The grammatical failure of this thread title is just beyond words.

what's even funnier is that people all wish they would have been at Glastonbury 2004 where Pinkpop 2004 was so much cooler :awesome:

[Tornado7]

Everyone of the Absolution Tour ones as it is my favourite album but to make up for it Butterflies and Hurricanes was absolutely fabulous at Wembley. This is the song I longed to hear live so Muse made my night complete. Hearing Matt playing the piano was without doubt one of the best moments of my life. It was well worth the wait. Can't wait for my next Muse concert hope its not too long

[moomGER]

Wouldn't mind Glasto '10 either.

[HenryW7]

Montreux jazz festival '02

Space Dementia
