First arena show of The 2nd Law Tour.

Information

Announced on the 7th of June 2012, Muse opened the European leg of The_2nd_Law_Tour with a performance inside Montpellier's Park&Suites Arena on the 16th of October.[1] Members of the Muse website could enter a draw from the announcement until the 10th of June to gain the opportunity to buy tickets before general sale,[1] which started on the 14th of June at 10:00.[3]

The Show

Unsustainable, Explorers, Liquid State and Isolated System were played live for the first time. Montpellier Jam (or short, Monty Jam) was also performed for the first time. Falling Down was also performed live for the first time in 12 years - though the song was played on piano, instead of guitar, and was shortened. The intro of Host was played for the first time in about 14 years. Undisclosed Desires returned after more than one year.

This is the first gig Matt sung a song without playing an instrument since Radio 1's Big Sunday in 2000. He did this for Follow Me and Undisclosed Desires, getting off the stage and walking up and down the barrier during the second half of the latter.

This gig marked the debut of the graphite finish/green-LED Status CW Signature Bass 5-string (which is also the first 5-string in the Chris Wolstenholme Signature line) and the aqua blue finish/white-LED and graphite finish/red-LED Status Chris Wolstenholme Signature basses.
