Well I went last night and it was brilliant!

Firstly though I have to talk about Wembley stadium as its the first time Ive been there since it re opened. WOW! The feeling when we walked in was amazing. As a football fan I have been to a lot of football grounds, but this beat all of them hands down.

We didnt see the first support act, but did watch the rest.

Dirty Pretty Things : Have only heard one of their songs (bang bang) and was a bit dissapointed by the rest of their set. Also they were still having problems with the sound at this point, and it didnt sound too great. But overall, it was ok and was definately worth going to.

The Streets: I dont mind them, but my boyfriend loves them. But they are brilliant live! They really got into it and did everything they could to get the crowd involved. Really enjoyed it!

Zane Low (Radio 1 DJ): He did some sets in between the acts and this was a brilliant idea. Normally when you go to a gig they just play music over the sound system but it was nice to have something a bit more entertaining.

And finally, the whole reason I went...

MUSE!

AMAZING! There was a catwalk type thing that went out from the stage (about 2 foot off the ground) that had stairs up to a platform right in the middle of the pitch. They appeared through the stage floor on this platform! No one had any idea!!

As always Muse gave an amazing show and didnt just 'play'. They had two enormous balloons with people doing acrobats off them for one of their songs. And the light show was amazing.

I have seen Muse twice before, 1st at Westpoint in Exeter and then at the Eden project in Cornwall. This one rated the best by far! Second being Eden project as it was such a small, intimate gig.

So did anyone else go? Im pretty sure that Weasel Overlord would have been there as I know shes also a huge Muse fan!

WAAAAAY! A THREAD! Well done Kris!! I most certainly DID go! And so did Vulpix.ck, my regular concert-going-irl-friend. XD

We got standing tickets and were absolutely terrified of being pulverised, or being right at the back, but it was really weird, cos we managed to get in the Golden Circle! Absolutely bloody amazing.

Where abouts were you, Kris?

Highlights for me would have to be... probably too many to name, but playing Unintended was definitely one of them. And Micro Cuts, listening to the audience trying to sing the high notes was hilarious! And Stockholm Syndrome, Soldier's Poem, Blackout (which my avatar is from, lol!), and the fire at the end of Take A Bow! It nearly scorched off my arm hairs, lol! It was really hot.

Did you see Matt's sparkly hair?! Oooh, the prettiness!! I have a few photos, I'll stick them up in links so's not to clutter up the topic.

(I think you've created a demon making this topic, Kris... I'm not gonna shut up now. Honestly, my mum called earlier to see how it was and I couldn't stop gibbering down the phone, hehe)

Unfortunately I only had my phone to take pictures on, but they aren't half bad, considering.

Random song (http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y157/jingleweasel/16-06-07_2117.jpg) - I have NO idea which song this was taken during, but it must have been an early one, cos Matt's still in red.
Pretty glowing thingies XD (http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y157/jingleweasel/16-06-07_2212.jpg)

The mobile phone lights! That was so good!!

We were about 10 yards from the gold circle. But considering we didnt get in till half way through Dirty Little Pretty things we were really impressed!!

Best bit though was the entrance!!! How cool was that?!

What you think of my sig?

I LOVE your sig! The picture's so clear! Vulps didn't take her camera, so we only had my crappy phone pictures. ;_; But I quite like my phone lights one, admittedly.

And yeah, seeing them walk down the middle on that platform... I was SO jealous of the people who were stood near there! And the ones who were stood next to those little stairs... Matt kept going down there and I bet they got dripped on... I'd give anything to have been dripped on by Matthew Bellamy... x_x

Sweet, it sounds like it was really awesome. Me? When they came to Australia, I was in Hong Kong. When they went to Hong Kong, I was in Australia. The irony.
