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", Bellamy, 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 the fans that this was done as a result of the organisers telling the band not to swear, which angered the band since the band never swore live beforehand. Although in an interview with Zane Lowe on MTV2 in 2009, Matt claimed it was simply due to forgetting the lyrics. It was also suggested that Muse have been banned from the radio station ever since, but it's since came to light that that is not the case. Muse’s music finds itself played on Radio 3 to this day and there was never a break in them being played on the station. No ban exists or ever did.
