I think people just WANT them to be bored to solidify their opinion that things 'aren't going well'? They seem perfectly happy to me tbh.
I can appreciate that certain setlists aren't everybody's cup of tea but what are you gonna do. Each to their own.

I can assure you that I didn't want to spend almost two grand to confirm that things "weren't going well." I was just expecting to hate the stage, and probably be bored with half the setlist, as I'd seen all the songs multiple times already.
In fact, the lack of energy/effort on the part of the band really shocked me. I hadn't seen anything like that since the webcast of the Weenie Roast. The videos people linked from other US gigs weren't like that.
DC wasn't like that. Not really.

I love this album. I've been a fan since '04. I don't WANT the band to disappoint me. Why would I?

It's just been that the band's energy, like just about everything this tour, has been inconsistent.
And I do feel bad for the fans who can only make it to one gig, and end up with one that's worse than normal (for this tour.)
My ability to go to DC after Philly involved two very unlikely events prior, and I was almost in that category.

Since the tour's about to re-start, here are songs that have apparently been soundchecked lately, but didn't pop up yet (Source is setlist.fm. I think Assassin and GL are pretty much confirmed to have been sound checked, I don't know about the others):

Assassin
Defector
Sing for Absolution
TSP
GL

SerpentSatellite · 31-03-2016, 06:04 PM

GL was one of my favorite songs of my first Muse gig.

Jobby · 31-03-2016, 06:12 PM

Thought TSP was semi-confirmed as made up?

Seem to remember people who were at the gig it was supposedly soundchecked for saying it didn't happen.

SerpentSatellite · 31-03-2016, 06:17 PM

I've heard that both TSP and SFA were made up, but honestly, neither side of the argument were very trustworthy, so who knows.
I'd kind of die a little inside if SfA was played.

It's one of only two songs I realistically want to see, that are yet completely impossible for me.

Alexander DeLarge · 31-03-2016, 06:21 PM

Jesus Christ this is so much better than the album version, they should say fuck it and play this version live.

SerpentSatellite · 31-03-2016, 06:52 PM

Not a fan of the guitar build up at the beginning, but I must say I like what's been done to the chorus vocals. They never completely sat well with me on album, though I do love the song.
Some of it just kind of sounds like a wall of noise, tbh.

Even if I wasn't in love with Mercy, I'd have probably been too distracted flailing around in the confetti to care.
Was smiling like an idiot, even at the Philly gig.

I wish the entire gig had the same kind of punch as that one song did. The gig really felt alive at that point.

Munich kicked-off yet?

Needs a bit of clearing up as it sounds a little bit muddy, but there's promise there.

Yes! So far (apparently):

Reapers
PiB
Dead inside

Here's some sort of audio stream: http://mixlr.com/doris286/

Anybody feel like reviving the live thread?

I'm not 100% sure about no Psycho, as I missed the beginning. But I saw no tweet about it and setlist.fm doesn't show it either... but yea, interesting twist, hasn't happened before as far as I'm concerned.

IS and The Handler now

I think there also has been Psycho after Reapers. They never open without Psycho.

That would make sense. They also did that at the last gig.
