Information

A performance for Spain's Radio 3 before their performance at the Sala Arena, Madrid Caracol later that same day. It was broadcast on May 9th, 2001 at 7pm on Radio 3 and at approximately 01:30am on RVTE's La 2 TV channel.

During Feeling Good, Matt, instead of singing normally, sang "Fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, little, fucking, fucking, little fucking, fucking fucker, yeah!" during the third verse through his megaphone. It was speculated by fans that this was done in protest towards the Radio's organisers, who told the band not to swear during their performance, which upset the band since they had never sworn live previously. However, in an interview with Zane Lowe on MTV2 in 2009, Matt claimed it was simply due to him forgetting the lyrics. It was also suggested that Muse were banned from the radio station due to the indiscretion, but it's since came to light that that is not the case. Muse’s music is still played Radio 3 to this day and there was never a break in them being played on the station. No ban exists or ever did.
