The Show

At the end of Bliss Matthew Bellamy swung his red Iceman around and flopped it into the audience. After the band finished destroying the stage, Dominic Howard got up in front of the drums, where Christopher Wolstenholme tackled him.

There were some technical difficulties during Hyper Music as Matt's second microphone completely cut out, forcing him to sing the entire song with clean vocals. He can be seen testing it to see if it's come back on just before the first chorus, but to no avail.

Just before Bliss, Matt addressed the crowd and gave a speech which led to a very awkward exchange with Dom and featured some infamous lines from Matt about 'needing to get a grip', 'loosing the fucking plot' and 'never knowing what to say'.
