Easily (Live)

[Azzy_p]

I've had a look but can't seem to find the answer to this anywhere..

Is there any reason Muse have never played Easily live? (or have they, and im not aware?)

I love that song and i think it'd sound great live.. Anyone else agree??

Cheers

Probably hard to recreate+the fact that it's a b-side.

[Azzy_p]

Why do you think it'd be hard to recreate? I think its a fairly simple song, ok sure there's an extended solo at the end which overlaps the last chorus, but surely matt would choose to play one guitar or the other, like The Groove.. I dunno I just think there must be something about that song maybe they don't like it or for some reasons brings bad memories so they don't want to play it.

Damn i wish they would play it live though

Haven't heard it in a while but aren't there loads of backing tracks/layers? I may be wrong though. Can't bother to listen to it

[Azzy_p]

Yeah there's some random sounds going on in the background, but nothing Morgan couldn't handle :P

Seems a bit of a stupid assumption to me. They don't even play all the songs that make it onto the albums so they're not going to give setlist time to a lesser known b-side, as much as you might like them to.

Muse really don't play b-sides often at all so it's no surprise that Easily hasn't been played in a long. Would be good live, they played it at Earls Court didn't they? Or am I thinking of Crying Shame?

EDIT: Yup, it's never been played. Shame, would've sounded great with the vocal distortion Matt had during 2005/Earls Court.

Yeah, it was Crying Shame. They also played Glorious the 2nd night.

That is amazing...but so sadly true.

Because it's pretty much the blandest Muse song to date, 'cept for Exo-Politics.

God awful piece of crap, eww .

So Muse don't play bad songs live now?

Shit then the Resistance Tour must have been kickass

Maybe so. But considering they still play Undisclosed Desires, Resistance, Guiding Light and Soldier's Poem live, I doubt that's the reason they don't play it

Nooo, Easily is not crap . I like the layering of the song, but even if that's hard to replicate, they can just put their own live tweaks to it so that's not a good enough excuse . Glorious is much harder to do live, but they've performed it in the past. In any case, they haven't and won't ever play it live, imo.

This is what the future of Muse live will look like, imo: B-sides will be limited to special one-off occasions and we'll largely have 'the hits' thrown in with tracks from the new album. I just don't see them dusting off random, old tracks they probably don't remember anymore to please us /cynic.

Last year's OoS is the best we're going to get rare-wise.

I wouldn't mind hugely, especially if the new album has shitloads of awesome songs, but I'd be sad if classics like New Born disappeared. It won't feel like a pwoper Muse show without certain songs, no matter how many times I've seen them.

I'd prefer them to drop songs like New Born if they aren't going to put any energy into them - it was shocking on TR tour. If L/R was the last performance of New Born - I'd be happy it went it out on a good note.
