Muse Concert; Awesome Concert Experience

Have you ever had an experience that changed your life? Well going to a Muse concert was just that for me. October 8, 2010 in Oklahoma City at the Ford Theater I witnessed the greatest concert I've ever seen. (Being about 25 feet away from the stage was a plus).

The concert is hard to describe in words, but I'll give it my best shot.

The concert was opened by the band “Passion Pit.” They were a good warm-up band for Muse; they were quite techno, and I enjoyed it. After Passion Pit left the stage, the stage was empty. There were no instruments, amps, or any sign of a band coming out anytime soon. There were just three pillars standing tall on the stage, covered completely by a cloth. After a good 20 minutes of waiting, a light came on behind the cloth; this caused an illusion of people walking up the stairs continuously until it reached the top of the pillar. After a short wait, the people fell from the top of the stairs and the curtains dropped. When the curtains dropped, Muse was standing in the middle of the pillars.

The concert experience had begun.

I cannot put into words the atmosphere and energy this concert had; it was amazing. Muse sounded even better live than on their album, Their show was fantastic. Matthew Bellamy (the lead singer/guitarist/pianist) switched guitars almost every song, as did the bassist; the drummer also switched to a special drum set for one song. They put on an indescribably great show, and I'd for sure go to another one. If you're interested on what a Muse concert is like, they have clips on Youtube or you can just buy their live CD/DVD “HAARP.” 5 out of 5 stars!
