They sounded hymn-like, as if they’d been round forever. Topping even those though were, Exogenesis 1 (always fab) and the enormous inflatable UFO – from where we were sitting it looked real, we couldn’t see the men pulling it round from the stands, whilst“Starlight” and “Time is Running Out” had me coming over unexpectedly emotional. Only one song that didn’t sound quite so brilliant – “MK Ultra,” which was a bit slow and off kilter. The sound was stunning especially in “Ruled by Secrecy” and “United States of Eurasia,” “Undisclosed Desires” was tremendous with the three of them spinning round on the flashing UFO and “Take a Bow” stripped down and moving. I much preferred this show to when I went to see them back in November even they seem to have grown into their “Resistance”songs. I went to see U2 last August on their “No Line” stadium tour but I somehow enjoyed this more – these three strange guys from Teignmouth somehow seemed to reach out and connect better to the audience. Oh and I miss the dark hair, Simon!Īnd onto the main reason for the evening of course, Muse.

The only disappointment was, no-one in my section of the stadium was into them, so I had a rather lonely head-banging session. “God and Satan” was possibly one of the best moments of the evening – the sound and singing absolutely perfect, just as dusk was beginning to fall. Sunny, optimistic, Andy Burrows,“I Am Arrows” was absolutely perfect for a late summer afternoon – we folks up in the stands loved the cover of “Everyone Wants to Rule the World” – grandiose, OTT White Lies ( Harry McVeigh’s voice was like an entire army of people singing) were wowsome and as for Biffy Clyro? They almost blew Wembley away.Īfter hammering out a staggering version of “That Golden Rule,” they had us hanging on to their every move their songs sounded incredible, they were rich, expansive and filled the whole Stadium. The sound is also absolutely amazing, much better than when I went to see them on their arena tour at the end of last year – it packs such a punch and the clarity is simply jaw dropping.Īnd another thing – the support acts couldn’t have been better. It’s such a mighty building, I lost my breath just looking round the empty stadium.

And I was proved wrong – it exceeded all my expectations.Īmazing – even before anyone came on stage!įor one thing – Wembley is an incredible venue to go to see bands. I had to wait almost a year for this show to come round. I have a theory – if look forward to something too much you’re bound to be disappointed, it can’t possibly live up to all the anticipation and excitement.
