Around the time of this gig, [[Matthew Bellamy]] would sing all of the lead chorus vocals for performances of The Small Print himself, unlike later gigs where [[Christopher Wolstenholme]] would take over during certain lines.  He balanced his guitar on his head after performing Blackout,{{cite/none}} as seen at Glastonbury.  He omitted the words "scream and she'll shout" from Stockholm Syndrome,{{cite/none}} instead opting to step away from the microphone and pop an on-stage balloon with his guitar.{{cite/none}}

On playing songs from "The Resistance" live, [[Dominic Howard]] stated that learning to do so "should take a while!"<ref name="dhms20090612">{{cite/domhoward-myspace20090611}}</ref> and Rehearsals started on the 19th of July.<ref>{{cite/musewire20090719‎}}</ref> On the 22nd, [[musewire]] readers were told to "expect an 8" stone 'enge" for The Resistance tour's stage design.<ref>{{cite/musewire20090722}}</ref>
== Speech ==
Assorted "Cheers!" and "Thank you"s throughout, sometimes in strangely hilarious voices with accompanying facial expressions (e.g. New Born, Blackout)


"[[MK ULTRA (song)|MK ULTRA]]" was played for the first time, and it was played a half-step down from the album version. At the end of "[[Stockholm Syndrome (song)|Stockholm Syndrome]]" + Riffs, Matt threw his Red Glitter Manson Guitar, neck first, through the top of one of Dom's Timpani. The balloons were released during "[[Plug In Baby (song)|Plug In Baby]]".
Bellamy introduced the song Butterflies & Hurricanes, "Gonna play another new song, if you haven't heard this song it's called 'Butterflies & Hurricanes'".


Before "MK ULTRA", Bellamy said "we're going to play a song we've never played before" and before "Map Of The Problematique" Dom said (after a long pause) "Ok, now we're going to play the song".
After returning to the stage for the encore, Bellamy responded to an unusually loud shout from one audience member with "Easy tiger!" followed by some indecipherable gibberish involving the word "fucking".


After Stockholm Syndrome, Matt smashed his Red Glitter Manson into Dom's tympani, breaking the skin of the drums, though the guitar was not damaged.
Bellamy introduced the song Blackout, "Cheers! Cheers... we'll play a new song, if you haven't heard this song yet... this song is called 'Blackout', and Chris is gonna play the keys... It's one for the lighters I think...".


Before the final song Bellamy announced "Thank you very much people of Manchester, you're the best! Thank you very much for coming this song is called Stockoooolm Syndroooome".
