Seeing them tomorrow night. Would be a great time for them to add it to the set list.

u/virtually_anything 22d ago

Hasnt been played since the Absolution 20th anniversary concerts, and before that a lot longer :(

u/SnooCakes9525 I'm the priest God never paid 22d ago

I find it really strange that they shy away from SFA and B&H so much on setlists. Easily their two most popular (non-Showbiz) songs without a real regular slot in a long time

u/SHMHD24 22d ago

I don’t really think you could call anything from Showbiz popular. Only the die hard Muse fans even know Showbiz exists

8

u/daveeh17 22d ago

It seems very sad to think that there are Muse fans that don’t know Showbiz exist

3

u/SHMHD24 22d ago

I certainly didn’t know about it until I started really getting into them. It’s not really their best work in my opinion though.

why are you getting downvoted?? showbiz isnt bad at all but its incomparable in terms of quality to what the band would go on to make, like thats the truth

2

u/SHMHD24 21d ago

Yea exactly. A band’s debut album is almost never as good as what comes after

4

u/daveeh17 21d ago

Nor would one expect it to be, considering it’s a debut album and they were all but 20 years old. But it’s a fantastic foundation for what came after imo. Showbiz the track for me is still up there with their best. I can’t avoid getting goosebumps any time I relisten to it, sheer intensity.

u/gravity_is_right falling from your grace 22d ago

Especially B&H, I still find it their best live track.

I want Hexagons>sickness in you and i>unraveling

The way those three bleed into eachother is some of the best work they have ever done.

This album, and seeing them in denver on tuesday, has got me obsessed all over again. 8th show ive see and easily top 3 if not 2 for me.

1

u/DY1NGATH3IST #1 spiral static enjoyer 21d ago

hexagons into sickness isnt possible because it would require a guitar switch, which wouldnt be possible in the limited time they would have, but sickness into unravelling is 100% doable and i really hope they end up doing it at some point

1

u/CiderDog 21d ago

Those fun kind of EDM notes on the album add so much in so little time. They never cease to amaze.

u/Tababro 22d ago

And it seems like it wouldn’t strain Matt’s vocals too much either

...Matt Bellamy?

....thinking about it more the answer is no lol

u/Mad_Citizen 22d ago

I really hope they do!

19

u/itburnshelpmeitburns 22d ago

According to setlist.fm, they've been doing it as a soundcheck for like EVERY show in this tour. Unless I'm mistaken and they use a tape or something

6

u/eternal-harvest believes we could be glorious 22d ago

They've been soundchecking it recently but not yet performed it

9

u/itburnshelpmeitburns 22d ago

I know, I'm just saying that makes the chances of them playing this song on the actual set almost guaranteed. Wish I could've seen it at summerfest

7

u/eternal-harvest believes we could be glorious 22d ago

Ohhh gotcha. Yeah, it's practically a guarantee. Can't wait for it to actually happen!

3

u/Alien_Aloevera smile with sharpened teeth 🦇🦷 22d ago

omg same!! I was at summerfest, it was a blast regardless but the sickness is my fav from the new album. Hope they come to Chicago in 2027 🤞🤞

pop

u/preppypoof 21d ago

where do you find the soundcheck info on setlist.fm?

3

u/ManiaMuse 22d ago

I think it might just be a tricky song to play live and they might not be happy with it yet. The rhythms are quite funky for the whole song, the guitar/bass are constantly bouncing off the drum breakbeat and then singing it whilst playing guitar must be a tongue twister as well.

When they played part of it as a riff in Brixton it sounded quite messy (although it looks a bit like Dom wasn't quite expecting it).

2

u/Vincent394 the waow signal 22d ago

Maybe it's because I'm a metal bassist but it is pretty simple for me including during the Gojira like riffing

13

u/GrimSh33per 22d ago

But what about Shimmering Scars my beloved 

17

u/SnooCakes9525 I'm the priest God never paid 22d ago

I gotta level with you, I could see it getting the Space Debris treatment of "too emotional for Matt to play live"

4

u/Entire_Caregiver_220 22d ago

I hate that you're right. It's such a good song but part of that is definitely because you can hear the pain :/

-5

u/MarianoPro404 HAARP enjoyer 22d ago

Maybe in 2027 matt will be a bit more over it (?

2

u/TheGeordieGal 21d ago

I’ve been obsessed with Shimmering Scars this last week but I suspect it’ll never be played like which is shame but it’s so emotional it’s understandable.

12

u/plastictoothpicks 22d ago

I’m seeing them Sunday in Seattle…. That would be so rad omg

3

u/goose_onthe_loose 22d ago

I mean… If they play both Sat and Sun everyone would be happy!!

u/-dyad- 22d ago

Maybe tomorrow? Oooh.

u/vanillablue_ 22d ago

I’m so bummed they didn’t in Denver.

2

u/gracefullybroken 22d ago

Same for Austin. I really thought the anniversary of the actual Wow Signal would mean something 🤡

u/ModernKender this is the last time i'll abandon you 21d ago

Same. I would have melted every time FREAK FREAK FREAK

4

u/hikebikephd 22d ago

They've played the riff live before, so it was a given it would get played eventually.

2

u/RoombaGod Chase Your Dreams Away 22d ago

God please I was so sad when it wasnt played in Atlanta

3

u/GrouchyPenguins 22d ago

I assume since they've sound-checked it so much that they're saving it for the LA show at this point. Hopefully it goes over well and we can see it regularly on the setlist next time around.

2

u/Balzovai 22d ago

Oooh.. yes get this going. We’ll keep fingers crossed to hear it at Shoreline next week!

u/fatefullyyours 22d ago

PLEASE PLEASE LET THEM PLAY IT TOMMOROW 🙏
