The 'Heliospheres' presented at the [[London Wembley Stadium | Wembley Stadium]] and [[Paris Parc des Princes (venue) | Parc des Princes]] gigs could be seen in the backstage area by the crowd.  They were inflated but were not used, due to the weather conditions.{{cite/none}}  The lasers used at [[Copenhagen Bella Center 2006 (gig) | the 2006 MTV EMA awards]] were used during ''Dead Star'' and ''Take a Bow''.  Matthew Bellamy played along with the opening riff of Hysteria, similarly to when the song was first preformed in 2002.  The balloons were released during ''Plug In Baby''.  [[Christopher Wolstenholme]], playing the harmonica, began a cover of [[Ennio Morricone]]'s ''Man with a Harmonica'' in the form of an intro to ''Knights of Cydonia''.
