Defo Stayin Alive w/backing track and/or very loud keys. Its sounded more like Superstition at times. 

Edit, actually you can see the keyboard player asking them to turn him up at 40 seconds. I do remember thinking there was no way it was just Coldplay making that sound. Especially as Chris Martin wasn't playing an instrument and was just Bono dancing about the place. 

Should have been asking to turn Bazza down. Jesus wept.

I've never got this squeaky voice thing. He doesn't talk squeaky. If he went to a football match, would he use that same voice for "we can see you sneaking out"? If so, he'd look a bit daft. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

When not singing Thom Yorke actually sounds like Brian Blessed.

In terms of their shows I've seen:

Psycho tour > R&L 11 > Resistance/T2L/Drones arena/stadium shows > Big Weekend 15/Glasto 16

Their 04 Glasto set was phenomenal. That was their peak.

Yeah defo. Unfortunately I was only 8 years old then so hadn't started attending yet

Wembley 07 was their best. Glastonbury 2010 was so dull. Can't remember anything from that gig apart from The Edge coming on at some point.

aye Glastonbury 2010 was dull as dishwater. came to the festival a fan in need of some reassurance that they hadn't lost it - left thinking 'Where the Streets Have No Name is a great song. U2 would've been ace.'

Yeah definitely. I reckon things would have been completely different if U2 actually played in 2010. Muse, on the other hand, played one of the most forgettable pyramid headline sets I've seen. Should have gone to George Clinton.

Seen Muse the three times. First at the MEN in 2012 on The 2nd Law Tour, which is probably one of the best gigs I've ever been too. Second time was same venue this year for the Psycho Tour that was probably a more technically impressive show but seemed a bit soulless. Last time was Glastonbury this year. By no means a bad headliner but when compared to Adele and Coldplay, they were uninspired at best - and why on earth did they think that closing their main set with a twelve minute prog album track off a lukewarm record was a good idea? they'd started building some momentum up until then, and suddenly it evaporated. 

I like Muse. But if you're going to book a modern day meat and veg rock group with early material that wasn't exactly mainstream, book Biffy. At least they won't play a twelve minute prog song.

Just to avoid any confusion, the Psycho tour I mentioned was an intimate tour they did before Drones came out (only Psycho had been released). I was at the MEN show this year and would have it lumped in with the rest of their arena/stadium shows since 2010.

[brettredmayne]

Muse in 2004 were amazing , the earls courts shows that year were probably them at there best.

Think I've seen them 10 times and it has slowly got worse and worse

To be honest i thought the 12 minute prog album track was one of the better moments, they were ok but I kind of regret not seeing Sight Ros or Underworld, I didn't really want to leave my group though.

I can see why looking at setlists Wembley 07 would be your choice.

[Mash011]

Nothing wrong in principle with closing off your set with a 12 minute prog song, it's just that particular song happened to be The Globalist, a turgid pile of shite.

[TomViolence]

Reading '11 is the only time I've really enjoyed a Muse set (out of 3 times).

[Gucci Piggy]

Me and my friend sighed so hard when The Globalist began. Absolute arse of a song.

We'd gone to stand further back because we wanted a drink and at that point we just wanted to leave because we were bored and both really needed to poo, but stayed because Knights of Cydonia. The Globalist > Uprising > Mercy with poo coming out of you is not an enjoyable experience.

Would have been so annoyed I missed Sigur Rós if I wasn't seeing them three weeks later at Citadel.

Whoops, my bad. Yeah, I meant the Drones Tour proper, my bad!

I regret not seeing Sigur Ros as I was expecting to go to Citadel - then had to cancel it. So, Muse in that sense were a double disappointment.

Also, I'm trying to remember why the hell I didn't go to Underworld now. I was sober as well, what choices was I making that night...

Ditto. Let's say Floyd themselves played, nobody would bat an eyelid at Shine On You Crazy Diamond being thrown out there. Everyone would love it. (Me included).

[giantkatestacks]

Good lord, reading about Muse is almost as dull as being there.

[CaledonianGonzo]

To be fair, at least Muse fans don't spend all the time doing lists.

Hang on.  Was it Night Fever or Staying Alive?

I think I maybe prefer More Than A Woman to either of them - but then Jive Talking is also a contender.

Thinking of a #RightBazza setlist got me like

 

 

 

"You should be dancing" for me, love it

See I thought Mumford were below par at Glasto, they were much better at T afterwards.

I thought they were better headlining or subbing Bestival whenever that was.

It was raining when I saw them before U2 in 2011 so that took some of the fun out of it.

What I think you're trying to say is:

1. Not making lists.

2. Making lists.

9. Pablo Honey.

The list is easy:

1. First three albums

2. The others except the Second Law

3. Pablo Honey

4. The Second Law

This list suggests Drones is as good as an album with Take a Bow and Map of the Problematique on it.
