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}}

Bridge Over Water is a cover of a Simon & Garfunkel song of the same name.
== Speech ==
Assorted "Cheers!" and "Thank you"s throughout, sometimes in strangely hilarious voices with accompanying facial expressions (e.g. New Born, Blackout)


Bellamy's version was, presumably, released prematurely by accident, on September 11th, 2020, on Spotify and YouTube, as it has been deleted from them during the next day. A week later, it's official release date has been announced by Bellamy on social media and it was released on September 18th, 2020.
Bellamy introduced the song Butterflies & Hurricanes, "Gonna play another new song, if you haven't heard this song it's called 'Butterflies & Hurricanes'".


Belamy's Bridge Over Troubled Water came two years after [https://youtu.be/iBRZH_ZmZOU?t=103 he said he'd love to cover it].
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".


== Additional Information ==
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...".


Matt's cover is simple in instrumentation, only featuring an acoustic guitar, an organ and a keyboard. Bellamy excluded the third verse, which appears in the original, starting with the line "Sail on Silver Girl...".
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".


This is the first cover by a different artist outside of Muse, released under Bellamy's own name.
