Muse performed inside Staples Center in September 2010,[1][2] this being the second of two consecutive nights.[1] There were three ticket pre-sales.[1] The first took place through Concertmaps on the 13th of July from 10:00,[1] the second through Livenation on the 15th from 10:00[1] to 22:00[2] and the third through KROQ on the 16th from 10:00[1] to 22:00.[2] General sale started through Ticketmaster on the 17th at 10:00.[1][2][3] and through the Staples Center ticket office on the 26th.[3] There was a limit of 8 tickets per household.[2]

The Show

The gig experienced some notable malfunctions, predominately with the towers. Chris's curtain failed to drop at the start of Uprising, thus meaning multiple stage techs had to come onto the stage to get the curtain down manually. Meanwhile, Matt's curtain got caught on his guitar rack - when the stage tech's came and pulled the curtain down off the tower, they inadvertently pulled the guitar rack down along with it. The resulting fall caused the Manson Red Glitter to become permanently damaged, rendering it unusable. This meant that the towers came down by the end of the song so that Matt could get the Doubleneck (which had also fallen from his tower but was still usable) for the next song. As a result, both Resistance and New Born were played on the floor. The towers functioned normally again by the time the piano section of the set arrived however.

The outro riffs to Stockholm Syndrome lasted over 8 minutes and included 10 different riffs, making it the longest riff session in the history of Muse gigs. When asked, Dom said the jam was lead by Bellamy playing riffs they had not played in years. This jam was not on the set-list and was possibly played to make up for the towers malfunctioning earlier on in the show.

This gig marks the first performance of Bliss in the US since Boston Agganis Arena in 2007 and the last performance of Neutron Star Collision (Love is Forever) until 2013.

In 2017, during an interview on Radio X, Matt and Dom declared the gig one of the worst of the band's career due to the aforementioned technical faults.[4]
