Muse. What an awesome name for a band. I like it on so many levels. And any alternative rock group that writes a 13 minute symphony...you know I'm in.
I better admit that I didn't know too much about Muse until one of their songs was on Twilight
(think 'Baseball scene'). Not long after seeing the movie I found out my brother Luke had a bunch of their music. He gave me copies and I became a fan.
Luke and I had planned on going to the show together ever since we heard they were coming. When Scott went to buy tickets for us, he picked one up for himself too! A few weeks after that, he got buyers remorse and didn't want to go anymore :) Eventually, he figured that even if he isn't into the music, it would still be fun to go and try something new. The majority of concerts Scott (and I) had been to in the past were country.
We were excited when we found out our
cousins from down south were going to the show too! We met up for dinner before the concert and had fun catching up. Lucky for us they were staying at a hotel nearby so we all car-pooled and avoided paying $10 for parking at the concert. Score!
We all (Scott too) LOVED the show. Their stage was cool and they sounded as good (if not better) than their recordings. That is always a good surprise when someone sounds good live.
Of course it's one of those things that is hard to picture unless you were there...so I won't go into too many details. It was just a great night we had really been looking forward too.
After seeing this show full of lasers, smoke, rising set pieces, guitar riffs and high energy, Scott said "How am I ever going to go to another country concert?" Ha ha, we still love our country...
but he's got a point :)
