==[[Matthew Bellamy|Bellamy]] & pianos==
[[File:AmphiTourDates2017.jpg|thumb|right|Official poster with tour dates]]
The piano was the first instrument [[Matthew Bellamy|Bellamy]] really played:
Officially announced on February 6th, 2017, the '''North American Summer Amphitheatre Tour''' was a tour around amphitheatres in USA, including one stop in Canada. The tour began on May 20th 2017 and lasted until September 20th of the same year.
"I didn’t have any lessons, and though I tinkered with it since I was five, I didn’t really get interested until I was ten or 11.  I used to work on my left hand to “What’d I Say” ([[Ray Charles]]) in sort of this boogie-woogie style. I spent ages working that out, practicing the left hand doing one thing and trying to do chords with the right hand."


Since the recording of [[Sunburn (song)|Sunburn]], the majority of [[Muse]]'s songs have been drafted on piano by [[Matthew Bellamy|Bellamy]]:
{{GigNav
"I find it easy to find interesting chords on the piano. Especially because on a lot of stuff we do, the guitar and bass are harmonizing."
| Previous = [[Drones Festivals Tour 2016]]
"Even a song like [[Stockholm Syndrome (song)|Stockholm Syndrome]] was written on piano."
| Current = [[North American Summer Amphitheatre Tour 2017]]
| Next = [[Summer Festivals Tour 2018]]
}}


However, on an early TV performance of [[Sunburn (song)|Sunburn]], the band brought in someone else to play the piano part and [[Matthew Bellamy|Bellamy]] played the guitar (although he later complained that the player was rubbish and got the notes wrong), as [[Matthew Bellamy|Bellamy]] didn't learn to sing whilst playing the keyboard until the end of the [[Showbiz (album)|Showbiz]] era.
== Information ==


This was also when the band began putting an emphasis on more complex, classically-influenced piano-based tracks such as [[Space Dementia (song)|Space Dementia]].
As mentioned above, the tour featured stops in amphitheatres in the USA with one gig in Canada.


==[[Matthew Bellamy|Bellamy]]'s Live Keyboard Rig==
Special guests for the tour included [[30 Seconds to Mars]] and [[Pvris]] (which were replaced by [[Missio]] on one gig).
[[Image:MP9500.jpg|thumb|right|Kawai MP9500]]
During the [[Origin of Symmetry (album)|Origin of Symmetry]] tour, [[Matthew Bellamy|Bellamy]] used Korg SG Stage Piano or a Roland Juno 60 or a Yamaha P80 . This allowed the acoustic piano sounds and electronic/synth sounds (e.g in [[Space Dementia (song)|Space Dementia]]'s chorus) to be routed to their own individual amplifiers.


On the [[Absolution (album)|Absolution]] tour, he used a Kawai MP9500 stage piano. It was mounted on a metal mesh podium nicknamed "The Dalek" which featured LED displays which could be synchronized to the MIDI output from the keyboard and the stage's visuals. For synth sounds two Roland JP-8000s were controlled using MIDI from the Kawai Keyboard and run through Fender Deville Amps to add color & dirt to the sound.
Alongside with all the gigs in America, they did four stops in the UK in August.
== Stage Design ==


Since the release of [[Black Holes and Revelations (album)|Black Holes and Revelations]], [[Morgan Nicholls]] has become a staple fixture of live performances, with his own keyboard rig, used to replicate the synthesisers used on albums without the need for excessive backing tracks (see below). In addition, [[Matthew Bellamy|Bellamy]] has updated his own live setup. He now uses a [http://www.musewiki.org/images/Matts_piano_II.JPG Kawai MP-8] digital stage piano mounted, during the first tour in support of [[Black Holes and Revelations (album)|Black Holes and Revelations]], in a white, custom made upright piano case built by [http://www.valepianos.co.uk/pages/latest_news.html Vale Pianos]. [[Matthew Bellamy|Bellamy]] sits at this to play piano-based songs such as [[New Born (song)|New Born]] (intro), [[Citizen Erased (song)|Citizen Erased]] (coda), [[Butterflies and Hurricanes (song)|Butterflies & Hurricanes]] (solo), as well as [[Sunburn (song)|Sunburn]], [[Hoodoo (song)|Hoodoo]], [[Soldier's Poem (song)|Soldier's Poem]] and [[Feeling Good (song)|Feeling Good]]. Since the May 2007 gig at [[Esch-Alzette Rockhal 2007 (gig)|Rockhal, Luxembourg]], the digital piano's case has once again been replaced, this time by a black grand piano shell with a transparent acrylic lid. Inside the wing of the piano are MIDI-controlled lights that reflect onto the lid, producing an effect last seen on "The Dalek". It is important to note that this is not a real grand piano, but the same stage piano as used before, merely in a new case.
The stage design/overall production was kept the same as with the Drones Festivals Tour and included 11 movable video monoliths behind the band.


Since the start of the [[The Resistance|Resistance]] tour, Matt has used both the Upright and Grand Piano. For the live performances of [[Neutron Star Collision (Love Is Forever) (song)|Neutron Star Collision (Love Is Forever)]], Bellamy uses a [http://www.kawai.de/es6_en.htm Kawai ES-6].
== Average Setlist ==


For The 2nd Law and Drones Tours, the black grand piano case and the white upright case were refinished in chrome/silver, with the Chrome Grand first being seen at the London Olympic Closing Ceremony.

* [[Uprising (song) | Uprising]] ''(extended)''
* {{Man with a Harmonica}} + [[Knights of Cydonia (song) | Knights of Cydonia]]


Since 2017 started, Matt has seemingly ceased using the Grand Piano live and instead uses just the Upright one.  
==== Exceptions ====
* Munich Jam, The Globalist and Drones are not played during festivals.
* The 4th rotation spot was also not played at the [[Cincinnati Sawyer Point 2017 (gig) | Bunbury Festival]].  
* Later on in the tour, Take a Bow was played after the Dead Inside/Undisclosed Desires slot


For The Simulation Theory Tour in 2019, The Upright piano shell was replaced a new more simplistic black case, with a lower back to accommodate a synth on top for Algorithm, and features colour-changing LED's around the sides -  matching the albums 80s and neon art style.
=== Stats ===
''Italic'' songs are rotations of the tour.


==Synthesizers==
{| class="wikitable"
In an interview with [http://www.keyboardmag.com/ Keyboard Magazine] [[Matthew Bellamy|Bellamy]] said that he's always had a liking for arpeggios since his first keyboard - a Roland Juno 60, which had a built in arpeggiator. This was first featured in [[Bliss (song)|Bliss]] and [[Screenager (song)|Screenager]] and has been even more prominent on [[Black Holes and Revelations (album)]]. The album features a Buchla 200e modular synthesizer (which was purchased during the Miraval sessions in 2005).

Since the 2006 tour, in live performances these arpeggios are played using MIDI backing tracks via a [http://www.moogmusic.com/detail.php?main_product_id=161 MiniMoog Voyager RME]. When [[Morgan Nicholls|Nicholls]] or [[Dominic Howard|Howard]] have nothing else to play they adjust the filter control of the synths to add color to the arpeggios.
== Gigs ==


In an XFM Exposure Interview, it became clear that it is [[Dominic Howard|Howard]] who has spearheaded the increased use of modular synthesisers on [[Black Holes and Revelations (album)|Black Holes and Revelations]] - he liked the idea of recording a whole disc of synthesised music. It is [[Dominic Howard|Howard]] who controls the synth's filter during live performances of [[Take a Bow (song)|Take a Bow]], when [[Morgan Nicholls]] is not on stage. He has used a variety of synths including a Buchla, another MiniMoog Voyager (e.g [[London Shepherds Bush Empire 2006 (gig)|Shepherd's Bush]]) and a bespoke modular sythesizer by Macbeth Studio Systems (e.g [[Reading Little John's Farm 2006 (gig)|Reading Festival 2006]]), photographs can be seen on [http://www.macbethstudiosystems.com their web-site].
Gigs that [[Pvris]] won't be performing are marked with a <nowiki>*</nowiki>. They will be replaced by [[Missio]].<ref>http://muse.mu/news,2017-north-american-tour_2763.htm</ref>


In 2018, Bellamy included an Arturia MatrixBrute to acompany his piano. He's using it to play the lead synth in [[Algorithm (song)|Algorithm]].

In an interview with Matt's in 2019, it was revealed that for the [[Simulation Theory World Tour]], Matt's tech, alongside MIND Music Labs, Fishman and Arturia, built a custom-made [[Manson Prophet Stealth|Prophet V soft-synth system into his guitar.]] Bellamy has so far used the synth during [[The Dark Side (song)|The Dark Side]]'s solo.

[[Christopher Wolstenholme|Wolstenholme]] also played a foot-controlled synthesizer pedal in some songs, for example the pad sound in [[Sing for Absolution (song)|Sing for Absolution]] or the bass in [[Unintended (song)|Unintended]], while playing acoustic guitar. The foot pedals he used were the [[Moog Taurus 1 Bass Pedal Synthesizer|Moog Taurus 1]] (OoS tours) and the [[Roland PK-5 Dynamic Foot Pedal|Roland PK-5]] (Absolution tours). During the BH&R tour, Chris occassionally played the Kaoss pad noise on New Born, as seen on the [[H.A.A.R.P._(live)|H.A.A.R.P.]] DVD.
== Exclusive MUSEum ==


On The Resistance tour, Chris ditched playing any keyboards or synth almost completely, while for The 2nd Law tour, he, allthough not technically a ''keyboard'', got himself a [[Status Kitara Doubleneck Bass]], used for [[Madness (song)|Madness]], later replaced with a [[Status Kitara Doubleneck Bass Mk2]], which was also used for [[Dig Down (song)|Dig Down]]. For the Simulation Theory tour, Chris has got himself an custom [[Status Keyboard Bass]], which includes, as the name implies, a keyboard built into the bass. For both the Kitara bass and the Keyboard bass, the keyboard part is connected via a wireless MIDI unit to an off-stage laptop, running the synth engine (in Chris' case, MainStage).
An admission to the MUSEum is available when buying the ''Follow Me Enhanced Experience''. This museum is an intimate and interactive experience allowing to relive the greatest moments in the history of the band and view private memorabilia and keepsakes from their last two decades.<ref>http://www.cidentertainment.com/events/muse-tour-2017/</ref>

The range of synthesiser parts used in [[Absolution (album)|Absolution]] meant that during the tour in support of it, the band began to use backing tracks in order to perform the songs in their entire nature. However, in the time leading up to the release of Black Holes and Revelations, Bellamy discussed how they had, as a band, decided to use a fourth live member from now on, to reduce the need for such backing tracks. This man is [[Morgan Nicholls]], famed multi-instrumentalist. As befits a man of his enigma, Nicholls's gear remains something of mystery. His two keyboards during the BH&R era, when he started touring with Muse, could be identified as a [http://www.clavia.se/products/nordmodular/index.htm Clavia Nord Modular G2] (responsible for the band's vocoder effects), and a [http://www.novationmusic.com/product.asp?id=30&Type=1&bArchive=False Novation ReMOTE SL 61] MIDI controller. His rack contained a MiniMoog Voyager RME, an [[Electrix Filter Factory]] and an Electrix Mo-Fx MK2. He was also using a Damage Control TimeLine delay unit, and a Korg KP3 Kaoss Pad, which he is known for using to this day. Furthermore he was (and presumably still is) using Logic and software instruments running any backing tracks when he's playing live. During The Resistance tour, and the early The 2nd Law tour, the two keyboard setup was ditched completely in favour of just one MIDI keyboard, the Kawai MP-6, with his racks placed on a custom keyboard mount infront of him, instead of being on a rack unit behind him. The KP3, aswell as most of the rack effects units were kept from the previous tours.

For The 2nd Law tour and the Drones tour, the on-stage computer was ditched from the stage itself, and Morgan instead opted for an iPad-based on-stage control system, using two iPads running Liine's Lemur software, which is controlling the MainStage software for keyboard sounds. The two-keyboard setup was back once again; Using the Doepfer D3M as his main keyboard in combination with the Novation Mininova for vocoder parts.

<references>


During the Drones tour, the Mininova was relpaced with a Moog Sub37, which appears to be used through MIDI for arpeggio parts, aswell as additional synth parts and some filtering. During the Simulation Theory tour, this setup has remained quite similar, with the iPad system ditched and his laptop back on the stage. Alike Matt and Chris, Morgan uses a Kemper Profiling Amplifier (white) for touring. It is placed in a rack, beside Chris' racks.
