This was the 'red jacket' gig, with the Mexican wave. This was their first gig back home after a long USA tour.

Dominic Howard and Christopher Wolstenholme opened up the gig, while Matthew Bellamy ran around backstage with a camera which was linked to the big screens on stage.[2] He ran up to (and embarrassed) security guards and make 'rock' gestures with his hand in front of the lens.[2] Finally, he ran in front of the audience, many of whom had their faces on the big screens, before handing the camera to a stage-hand and started Hysteria.[2]

After The Small Print ended, Bellamy threw around his guitar, picked it up, walked to the stage's edge in front of audience, and threw his guitar into the audience, a video of this can be found. The Micro Cuts ending slowed down to an almost complete stop.[2] Crying Shame was performed live for the first time, and for the only time in the UK.[2] Bellamy commented in the XFM interview preceding the next day's concert that the new song went down "like a tonne of bricks".[2]

Tom Kirk commented that the new songs, Crying Shame included along with Dead Star and Micro Cuts, were his favourite moments at the Earls Court gigs.[4]

Speech

After Hysteria Bellamy "Thanks very much! It's good to be home!".
Before Stockholm Syndrome "Thank you very much for coming today! We're home, this is our home, it's great to be back. We're called Muse by the way. And er, what can I say? Merry Christmas!".
