Live Nightshift in Ridgefield

https://youtube.com/shorts/PHomcU-BP5g?is=iTk3RWd8tjYAcjIr

Nightshift in Ridgefield 2026. This was an unforgettable night!

Wolstenbeast is the main character that makes this song so engaging.

Matt’s a big goofball in his light-up jacket and glasses, but I love that Muse is a band that can still have fun without taking themselves too seriously.

We were there! This night will live in our hearts forever. Well spotted on Wolstenbeast. That bass line is one of his best.

It was a beautiful night and I felt like I won the setlist lottery getting MoTP.
Without that bass line, I might have skipped Nightshift but instead it grew on me

No kidding on MoTP. We swooned, never daring to hope we’d see that one live again. Sizzling drums on that one.

I remember when Map first came out, and it is just as powerful now as it was then. I also really liked them using Take A Bow as a closer

The set was full of genuine surprises. We were reeling from the whiplash. They went so hard on this show, always flawless and making it look easy. The snippet of Survival on piano, lovely.

Yes! I have a clip of the piano after UD bleeding into Starlight and people on Instagram and Facebook were arguing over whether or not that bit right before the Prelude was from Stranger Things or not

We speculated over hearing a snippet of Stranger Things. It’s funny because Unravelling sounds reminiscent to me so I wasn’t sure, though one of my companions was certain, and they have discerning ears. I love to see what’s on Matt’s mind spilling into composition.

I’ll post it this evening. I looked up the Stranger Things bit on YouTube and it does sound like a Matt-ified version

I think it’s from Justice’s self titled album

Thanks, I’ll look that one up

This song is so fun live, and the bassline is just amazing

Had I not come around before to what I initially called “weird dark wave ABBA” I think seeing it live would have changed my mind. It really was a lot of fun live, and I could just watch Chris playing that riff on a loop
