Performance

Before Soldier's Poem, Dom stood up with his mic and asked everyone to take out their lighters and mobile phones during the song.

Bellamy played Soldier's Poem on an acoustic guitar.

During Plug in Baby around half the balloons were significantly smaller than the normal size for some reason so they were bouncing around much faster than normal, but there was one that was extremely small (just over the size of a basketball) and it made it's way on the small runway sticking out of the center of the stage. And when Matt starts singing the chorus he sees it and how pathetically small it is, just after the lyric "When I'm tired of giving," he looks around to Dom points and says "WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT!?" and continues singing. After he finishes singing the chorus Bellamy plays and goes over to center stage (where the balloon is) but turns to Dom first and while he turns one of the security staff grabs it from the stage, Bellamy turn around and went to kick the balloon back to the crowd but it wasn't there so he returned to his side of the stage. A video of this can be seen here Video 1 and here Video 2. Video 1 is situated on the left side of the arena in the seated area with a better view but lower quality audio. Video 2 is in the general admission area (mosh) and has better sound.

Media

An audience recording in lossless (FLAC) format can be found on MuseBootlegs here and an amateur video recording can be found here.
