My son's seats were even closer, so it was very very cool for him to watch Matt the whole time. <br /><br />Ah, it's fun reading this post again. Sheesh, what an experience! We ran the emotional roller coaster that night for sure!Sueyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02926501219758538615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-41811071467692513622010-10-08T19:48:33.572-06:002010-10-08T19:48:33.572-06:00Last spring, my husband and I took our 12-year old...Last spring, my husband and I took our 12-year old daughter to a concert for Never shout Never. She insisted on a t-shirt, and the wait was horrible. It certainly felt like a mosh pit scene. Claustrophobic, indeed! I jut don't get the appeal of mosh pits, actually, I don't get the appeal of pits period...standing, and if not in front you can't see anything, and if in front your mostly likely will feel crunched. <br />Anyway, while waiting for my daughter's t-shirt, I just wanted to say..."hey, we will all get to the front. No need to shove into each other."<br />I could not take it so i bowed out and my husband stayed with my daughter.<br /><br />The opening band for you, if it was the same as ours in March, which I am thinking it was... The Silversun Pickups and I thought they were horrible. And, I do remember filthy mouths..don't get that. Why do performers feel the need to spout off...so not necessary and it really does trash them down. Ugh.<br />The opening band for this past Wednesday, Passion Pit, were not that great. Really, I have yet to hear a good opening band, I feel a bit bad for them but then again it is a bit of break for them too.<br /><br />Good thing the ticket situation got straightened out before the opening of Muse, but still, I would have been peeved and that does not help with the overall enjoyment feeling.<br /><br />Watching your KoC video, it was pretty much the same for me on wednesday. How was your view at the concert? Me, in March, I could barely see them on stage but on wednesday I could totally see Matt move around on stage just could not completely see the facial expressions but the screens provided that at times.<br /><br />Venues play a huge role on the concert experience, and Bradley Center was far better than the United Center in Chicago.<br /><br />I will for sure do my best to see Muse again if they were to come to my area again. Totally worthy type concert, but close seats are in order for me from now on.ibeeeghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10222760102843468991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-12801312661316772662010-04-13T21:48:27.643-06:002010-04-13T21:48:27.643-06:00At least you finally got seats and weren't dis...At least you finally got seats and weren't disappointed! Knights of Cydonia is one of my 18yo's "favorite songs of all-time." Not sure that's much of a sell when you're only 18 but still!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554217416500328610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-29912042787293403472010-04-12T18:52:28.420-06:002010-04-12T18:52:28.420-06:00Bibliolatrist: If you love Muse, you HAVE to see t...Bibliolatrist: If you love Muse, you HAVE to see them live someday. Awesome! I know nothing about Cirque, so I'm interested to see what they are all about.<br /><br />Jenni: Yeah, the opening band was just there. Loud though. But Muse, ah. Love them.<br /><br />Michelle: JJ and the hubby ended up sort of behind the stage, but not all the way behind. They said it wasn't bad, so that's good. Glad you had fun on the floor! I think I would have been exhausted!!<br /><br />Karen: I will let you know how the Cirque experience goes. Like I said, I know nothing, so it will be fun no matter what I hope!Sueyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02926501219758538615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-42194167361183435212010-04-12T06:16:59.416-06:002010-04-12T06:16:59.416-06:00Wow, the seat situation sounds like a nightmare --...Wow, the seat situation sounds like a nightmare -- but I'm glad your son liked it, and I hope you have a good time at Cirque! Do you know which show it will be? I've seen several of them and enjoyed them all.

I also enjoyed the quality, because when I've seen other live performances there is an obvious discrepancy between studio/radio edits and an artist's ability to bring it live...but Muse totally brought their top game and sounded really polished. Loved it! My feet ached after 3 hours of jumping and stomping and my head hurt the morning after from all the reefers sparked around us but, all told, it was the best time I've had in a long time. Bummer about your seating trouble! Did you end up behind the stage?Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02492395074301156959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-40507348513518058612010-04-08T15:05:30.656-06:002010-04-08T15:05:30.656-06:00I'm sorry you had a seat fiasco.

I loved every song, though.<br /><br />I was sad I missed the opening band at first, but everyone who heard them said they didn't like them. My husband and I really like their song "Panic Switch" but I guess nothing else is that good. I'll count my blessings. ;)Jenni Elysehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08403700912436098391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-85418173569546271182010-04-08T07:05:19.967-06:002010-04-08T07:05:19.967-06:00I LOVE Muse, but have never seen them live ... hav...I LOVE Muse, but have never seen them live ... have to say the seating problems would have made me MENTAL...but you'll love Cirque!
