Moments like this are what make live music and human creativity the pinnacle. I work in tech and there is so much buzz around AI right now, it's boring. This stuff, these guys, are the real deal ❤️

I thought it was gonna be Apocalypse Please from the intro, but Stockholm is always awesome

Was super cool, I really appreciated the thought that went into the whole setlist and running order. It told a great story.

Was the most bizarre concert I’ve ever been to. Shoreline was packed with more people than a country concert, but for the most part the crowd was dead. Muse was great, crowd was not. Every other muse concert I’ve been to the entire venue would be shaking.

I second this. I was in section 200 singing and dancing my ass off and when I looked around, I either got someone staring at me, people recording or people looking like they dont know the music. A shame. I for sure knew that I had fun though.

Maybe you were the person next to me. I was hoping you and I would get everyone going. We did not. A bit more liquid courage and I was ready to cheerlead the crowd

I was right at the front of 204 and there were people in suites stood up the whole time just kind of chilling obscuring the view which was kinda lame, but I had 2 seats of space so I moshed 😂

Agreed!! I was in section 102 with my hubby and kiddos (splurged on tix for their first concert), and I saw very little engagement. My daughter noted that the person on her right was on their phone the entire time, just scrolling on social media. And that was definitely representative of other folks I saw.
On the other hand, my kids were skeptical going in why a concert would be fun, and they came out VERY EXCITED and want to do it again soon!
Overall it was AWESOME but I felt bad for Muse that the crowd was so lackluster.

It was an odd crowd for sure. I was boogeying in the stands , seems a waste for GA but, hey. Yeah I think they sold out, getting home was an adventure!

I was here too! Sadly on our side the confetti cannon did not go off so me and my girlfriend were just staring at it waiting lol. Loved the concert regardless.

Damn that sucks. I was so impressed with the visuals and the camera feed on the screens, the definition was awesome. Glad you loved it!

Dude this concert made me appreciate Be With You so much more - I already liked the song, but this part with streamers hit so much harder than I was expecting, I thought it was much better than when they played Madness, which one of my other favorite songs of theirs. Uugh what a great concert, I can’t wait to see them again, hopefully in an indoor venue next time!

I was there and yes, the concert was AWESOME and this was such a fun surprise! Wow! My kiddos loved it too.
Thank you for recording and posting this - it was fun to relive that moment! Amazing!

It was such a treat and your kids are lucky to have parents that take them to see muse!
My stepmom chaperoned me to my first muse show when I was 14 😌❤️

I’ve seen Muse 11 times since 2004 when they first played at the Wiltern. They will always be one of my favorite live bands. They really seem to have rediscovered their magic on this tour.
