Best Live Performance of any one song

[Sippe]

Does anyone remember particular CoD performances where Matt doesn't do a really wimpy version of the line "I will Aveeeeenge"?
Denver 2006.

Matt's best vocal performance of Dark Shines IMO - instrumentally my favourite was probably Leeds/Reading:

Also this (even though it's just about the only pro-shot we have of it, it's still fantastic):

Matt using a slide on something that isn't Invincible :awesome:

[Kueller917]

The Brixton Academy bootleg one was pretty good too. But there aren't nearly enough recordings of the song to make full judgment. Looking at MuseWiki it wasn't as rare as once though to be.

Montreux 2002

I prefer his vocals for the L&R versions. Plus guitar outro

[Jobby]

I prefer his vocals for the L&R versions. Plus guitar outro

Vocals = Montreux / Le Zenith
Piano = Pinkpop / L&R
Outro = L&R

[Jazzthief]

I prefer his vocals for the L&R versions. Plus guitar outro

I also like the vocals on L/R more except the screams before the outro. But the piano maddness at the end just takes it to another level. I really don't like the guitar outro.

Incredible song, for me this is their best live performance ever!:)

Just what were they thinking?!

[bumpypotato]

Stockholm Syndrome (plus all the riffs) at reading was just :awesome:

[Kueller917]

I thought Stockholm at Reading (assuming we mean 2011) was actually kind of weak compared to some of the other 2011 performances.

My favorite SS of the tour. Although I'm probably biased cause I saw it in person.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UNMnIeUX0g



But I also really like this one.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6ptHqX8M8Q&feature=channel&list=UL

[bumpypotato]

:stunned: There were some damn fine performances of that song this year. I laughed when everyone cheered when Matt kicked the amp over :chuckle: I might be being a bit biased with this one too, but it was an awesome performance http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfugNfOLalo

[Kueller917]

Ah well those final arena dates were immense too. But shit, wish I had seen that one earlier.

[bumpypotato]

By this year I meant this tour. I keep doing that :erm:

[Zolic]

I'm probably biaised as hell, seeing as it was my first muse gig for 6 years and my first as a fan, but Stockholm syndrome in Stockholm was especially epic. I wonder if we'd thought SS at reading would've been so extremely Great without the fires really, I think that thought troubles me when thinking of it as one of the best ever.

Don't get me wrong, SS at Reading was completely mindblowing, but I still think the one at Hovet 09 was better experience personally.

I actually thought that SS was a bit disappointing.

SS at Glastonbury, Roskilde or in Brisbane is the best.

If you mean Brisbane 2007 then yes I'll agree, that was immense. 2010 was pretty average though.

KoC was epic though.

[Zolic]

Yeah, and Hysteria, and Cave :happy: I enjoyed most of the gig tbh, only really dissapointing was Starlight, TIRO and UD. SMBH was great too (it was after all the one song which got the best crowd reaction :P

EDIT: oh and NB hadn't turned to shit yet :awesome: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QYT7GjBaGQ&feature=relmfu

Nah, got to be either Astoria or Eurockeennes for Showbiz. For me, anyway.

[FabriPav]

The best version overall is the Eurockéennes one. However the destruction of the stage here is their best ever :LOL:

[Solstice]

Yeah the Eurockéennes one is better, but the scream at around 2:08 never fails to impress me.

[yoman297]

Does anyone have an opinion on the best performance of Screenager?

I just can't seem to find a truly beautiful one.

Cheers :D

Depends whether you prefer the piano or guitar versions.

For piano: Hullabaloo or Montreux Jazz Festival 2002
For guitar: La Route Du Rock 2001

Those are my preferred versions anyway. Screenager was one of those songs that didn't really have any performances that were noticeably better than others.

My favorite version of SS is the one from SXSW. Brilliant performance and I like the mix. Good improvs snuck in the song that I haven't heard in any other versions.



My favorite performance of Unnatural Selection... the guitar and vocals in the breakdown especially.

IMO the most intense version, and my favorite MK Ultra:

Easily best performance of SMBH, no question.

[Tim59]

Ok so I haven't seen many live videos of Uprising, but the one they played at BBC Live Lounge the other night was certainly the best I've ever seen it. That guitar tone, and falsetto :awesome: . Anyway, anybody agree?

No, sorry. I was referring to the previously posted SMBH video...I tired to edit, but it didn't work out...

[-Invincible-]

Is it just me that finds something special with the iTunes Festival performance of Supermassive Black Hole? Dunno what it is exactly, but when i first saw it, something just seemed fantastic. And Matts guitar sounds incredible.

I reckon its also to do with how clear you can hear Chris during it (heck, most songs from that show aswell. Its like his lead songs have given him the boost to perform live a lot easier and louder) but that may just be me...

[Bells]

My favourite Muse performance(s) of all time, and if I could I would swap all my Muse experiences for the chance to go back in time and attend this concert. Everything about it was absolutely perfect!

It didnt work very well, backing vocals should remain in the background

[MopManMuse]

For me it is dark shines at reading 2011 it was amazing

[-Invincible-]

Thing is, on the studio version his vocals are also very clear. It just seemed to be live, that I noticed, he was quite quiet. But iTunes it seemed to matched up a lot better and he sounded fantastic. As I said though, night just be me that feels this way.

[Sippe]

Thing is, on the studio version his vocals are also very clear.That's weird because Matt does 99% of all the backing vocals on the studio versions.

Knights just sounded really horrible with louder backing vocals

[-Invincible-]

That's weird because Matt does 99% of all the backing vocals on the studio versions.

I always thought it sounded Chris like on the studio, but even if I'm wrong (not got the best ear at times) my point still remains, on the studio version the backing vocals are very clear, however I always felt live they were drowned out. iTunes seemed to change that.

As for Knights, I cant really remember that so I'll need to give it another listen. I do wish they'd get rid of that damn Man With a Harmonica. Really tiring of it.

[JamesPHD]

Seriously if you guys haven't heard B&H - Le Zenith 2004. Go listen. Amazing.

The backing vocals in SMBH are clearly Matt. It's actually one of the easiest to determine. Songs like Soldiers Poem are much harder. But all the vocals on SMBH are definitely Matt. Listen to the way he sings "glaciers".

And during the "screaming"; listen both to the way he breathes and sings "Supermassive".

I've actually spent the last 6 years on trying to figure out who's doing the backing vocals in Soldier's Poem :chuckle: I've come to the conclusion that it's all Matt...

Well that's odd, considering Chris is listed as backing vocals on the studio version. But as I said, the point I was making still stands. It could Justin Beiber doing the studio vocals for all that matters, but live they have never seemed as clear, to me, until itunes!

I'm fine with the backing vocals being loud, but not so loud that they completely drown out Matt at times. Honestly, Chris' mic was way louder than Matt's at iTunes festival and that's one reason why KoC sounded so bad there.

And also, when you're actually seeing them live yourself, the backing vocals sound pretty clear usually. Might depend on the venue, of course.

[-Invincible-]

I guess you've never actually experienced it live then.

As a matter of fact, I have, on 4 separate occasions. And at non do I recall the backing vocals being up to iTunes. That may just be my memory of the gig. But from watching it, I instantlyI fell in love with that SMBH performance.

[Sippe]

When a screaming Matt is drowned out by a almost whispering Chris, then something is definitely wrong. The backing vocals at the itunes festival were definitely louder than usual, and damn did it sound bad :(

[Nipso]

In SMBH the 'glaciers melting' bit is meant to be lead, isn't it? Makes sense for Chris to be louder.

I thought it sounded good, the whole gig, not just SMBH. The last part of Madness certainly so.

[Bells]

I agree. Way too loud. Just no.

Isn't there a way to power up Chris' mic just for Save Me?

this is a rhetorical question.

Something doesn't have to be high or strong to sound good. And no one said the words impressive or interesting. In most cases I think people just spaff over anything that's different from the studio versions because it's different from the song they've listened to too many times to count.

But in this case it definitely adds something to an otherwise booooring song.

Oh and it IS kinda high.

I wasn't really saying that to anyone in particular, the words interesting and impressive came from the general opinion of the youtube comments, where some people seem to imply that that Fury falsetto would be one of the greatest falsettos ever from Matt. And although it indeed is quite high and all, to me it sounds more like weak distorted whining than anything else. Just my opinion, of course.

Oh and I know it's opinions and all, but the falsetto doesn't really make the last chorus better in any way. Now if Matt sang it the normal way and Chris would be doing some backing falsetto...

Euroc version definetely isnt the best, the solo is pretty much ruined here. Phillipshalle, Astoria and Cannes ones are probably the best. They have emotion and rawness that euroc lacks

[FabriPav]

Emotion and rawness

[Sippe]

My favourite versions of Showbiz are definitely Hullabaloo(whatever venue that is) and MCM 1999. Hullabaloo has the best performance overall but MCM is a bit more emotional for me, and the falsetto is incredible.

Oh and, the best Sunburn is definitely Radio 1's Big Weekend 2006.

[Dee3Dee]

I like a couple of the older performances of Showbiz (MCM, Hullabaloo, that French tv-show etc) but I think I prefer the 2006 performances a bit more.

[Jazzthief]

Emotion and rawness

Yes.

[Tom//P]

Worthy contender for the best Showbiz:

Ah, yes, but I still prefer the Reading Festival version. And Hullabaloo as well. But this one is kickass too.

[Nipso]

SBE is the best Sunburn because you can see me jumping in the 2nd chorus. This goes for everyone btw, not just me. It's a beautiful sight.

Not the best, but despite the voice crack near the end the way he hit the last note is awesome

What exactly is a voice crack?

[Sippe]

What exactly is a voice crack?
Not sure if it's an honest question or an attempt to point out a non-existent fault.

3.45 anyway

[Jazzthief]

Not sure if it's an honest question or an attempt to point out a non-existent fault.

An honest question.

[Sippe]

An honest question.
Basically what happens when you try to hit a (usually) hard note in chest voice and fail, and thus crack into falsetto. So simply when you go into falsetto unintentionally. Most commonly displayed by guys in their puberty.

[Ryoma-kun]

Definitely the best TaB imo. The way he does the vocals towards the end with such force in addition to the lovely vocal-effects <3

[FabriPav]

Wasn't that one its first performance as well? My favourite TaB is either that one or Wembley '11.

[FabriPav]

The day Muse will write something better than Take a Bow, I'll be really really happy.

IF they manage to do it.

[Gohenko]

Must've been an amazing gig, that one.

(Unless you're actually talking about the other 2010 gig and just mentioned the date there :facepalm:)

Just a few random ones. Would like to do a full list at some point.

[JamesPHD]

Butterflies and Hurricanes (Zenith 2004)

I'd said this like 4 times in this thread but I love that performance. Dead Star from that gig is also amazing.

And Fury too, iirc.

[Sippe]

Ruled By Secrecy at Earls Court <3 Don't think I can properly judge Glasgow without a good quality bootleg.

SS at Earls Court too(whichever night the phoshot is from)

[JamesPHD]

Ya that SS is probably my favourite.

[Sippe]

Fury from Zenith 2004 is overrated.

[Dee3Dee]

Fury from Zenith 2004 is overrated.

Would be better with a half-decent quality bootleg. The only bootleg in circulation is really crap.

[Picko]

Ruled By Secrecy at Earls Court <3 Don't think I can properly judge Glasgow without a good quality bootleg.

SS at Earls Court too(whichever night the phoshot is from)

2nd night at Earls Court. Definitely the best performance of that song, although SS at Reading 2011 is a close second in my opinion.

[Linux]

Glastonbury 2004 (riffs, at least).

[FabriPav]

Glastonbury 2004 (riffs, at least).

Yeah because we're clearly judging the riffs after the song :p (if we were judging that, we would have to agree on the Staples Center one from 2010)


Earls Court 2nd night, Pinkpop, Rock am Ring, Big Day Out. Pretty much just 2004 performances.


My favourite Knights has to be this one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAyrPurTh-I)

[Jobby]

My favourite Knights is probably the one they did at Abbey Road in 2006, if that counts.

[Linux]

Yeah because we're clearly judging the riffs after the song :p (if we were judging that, we would have to agree on the Staples Center one from 2010)
Nah, I just meant that even if Glasto SS is equally good as Earls Court SS, riffs were better at Glasto (if that makes any sense :)). But yeah, 2004 was the best for that song.

Favourite KoC? V Fest '08 for me.

[mskatie]

I've always been partial to "Invincible" from the 2006 Reading Festival. Everything about it is just fantastic. :love:

:yesey: Fantastic performance.

[The2ndwub]

cant pick one favourite performance, and oh god muse is going to be my first ever gig im going too, just realized that. Kinda scared for Eithad stadium now :LOL: never been to any type of gig before, : I got general admission tickets. maybe i should have got seating :$

[Kueller917]

Muse crowds are pretty chill.

[The2ndwub]

Yeah i know they're but, im not really built for this im a skinny tall 16 year old :P although very much looking forward, been a fan since i was 8 years old, so 8 years now :D

[FabriPav]

Muse US crowds are pretty chill.

fixed


European crowd can get a bit rough, in some moments.

[Sippe]

It all depends on what you compare to. Personally I don't think you need to worry going into a Muse crowd, but then some people might be a bit more sensitive.

[Kueller917]

fixed

I wouldn't call US crowds chill. I'd call them boring.

From what I've seen from European videos if you stand further back you shouldn't really have a problem unless you hate any form of pushing.

[Jobby]

Yeah i know they're but, im not really built for this im a skinny tall 16 year old :P

Same as me (except I was 14 when I went to my gig). You should be fine, the crowds really aren't that bad. You get the odd mosh pit here and there but you'd need to be pretty close to the front to be in one and even those don't tend to be fully violent ones.

[FabriPav]

I wouldn't call US crowds chill. I'd call them boring.

Oh well yeah, if you stand back you'll be fine anyway.

Jesus, good shit :stunned:.

Still my favourite closer of all time. That encore of Micro Cuts, Stockholm Syndrome and Take A Bow at Wembley '07 was mindblowing.

Stockholm Syndrome Glasto 04....:stunned:

Perhaps bias here but fury from RAH: while unperformed largely, it was such a shock to hear live and its amazing live.
