Information
First Muse performance in Australia.
The first of two performances recorded for triple j Live at the Wireless programme. Muse also performed two songs - Uno and Muscle Museum - on the television programme "The 10:30 Slot" around this time.
The Show
Before Agitated the intro riff of Hyper Music can be heard, and at the ending of Showbiz some random screaming too, with some words like "I don't love you" (like in the chorus). This indicates that Hyper Music started to be composed during this time.
This performance is notoriously wild, in a similar fashion to the famous London Astoria 2000 performance just over a month before.
