Information

Matthew Bellamy first mentioned two possible South American concerts in an interview with Virgin Radio host Ben Jones, broadcast 2008-02-18.[5] This concert was announced first via a Muse website news post.[1] Pre-sale started on the day of announcement, the 23rd of May at 14:00, while general sale started on the 26th of May.[6]

The Show

Matt appeared to play Space Dementia due to a crowd request. However, the song was in fact on the printed setlist in this slot before the show began, along with an accompanying note to trigger CO2 at the end, so this was planned.

Invincible was played half a step down.

Last performance of Apocalypse Please until 2015, at Webster Hall, in New York.

After Knights of Cydonia Bellamy "Buenas noches Buenos Aires"
After Hysteria "Gracias!"
