A small and ''very'' secret gig, which took place in The Cavern Club, Exeter, on April 7th, 2022. According to SeeTickets, Muse were filming a 45 minute performance for a promotional video. This also marked Muse's return to The Cavern (the club where the band started it all) after 23 years, when Muse last performed at the venue, in [[Exeter Cavern Club 1999-07 (gig)|1999]]. According to sources, the gig was filmed for Jim Beam's Welcome Sessions. Somewhat oddly, the event was only eligible for people aged 25 and over. Fans also had to sign legal documents, with phones taken away at the doors.

Tickets were free, but attendees had to enter a ballot with a £5 compulsory donation to War Child UK. Proceeds went to help children in war-affected areas, such as Ukraine and Yemen.
The gig saw the live premieres of [[Won't Stand Down (song)|Won't Stand Down]] & [[Compliance (song)|Compliance]]. Assassin, Stockholm Syndrome and Agitated were all played in full for the first time since 2018 - the latter two did not appear on the original setlist. Assassin meanwhile was performed in its full Grand Omega Bosses form for the first time since 2005, including both the additional vocals featured in the bridge sung by Matt, and the Whammy guitar during the intro, as heard on its studio version.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Muse/comments/tymo6u/setlist_from_tonights_secret_gig/</ref>

The Execution Commentary riff was also played for the first time since 2017.


Matt sung the extra lines on Assassin's Grand Omega Bosses for the first time since its demo version, in 2005. The Execution Commentary riff was also played for the first time since 2015. The full version of Assassin, Stockholm Syndrome and Agitated were played for the first time since 2018.

First gig of the Will of the People era.

Information

A very small, very intimate and very secret gig, which took place in The Cavern Club, Exeter, on April 7th, 2022, in support of Will of the People. First post-pandemic show, and first show in more than two years. Muse were filming the gig for "Jim Beam's Welcome Sessions", a series of recorded live shows, in which artists revisit the venues that they kickstarted their careers in. In Muse's case, this is The Cavern, in Exeter, Devon, UK, which saw Muse perform 32 times during their early years (33 times in total, incl. this gig). As such, the gig marked Muse's return to the club after 23 years, when Muse last performed at the venue, in 1999.

Tickets were free, but attendees had to enter a ballot with a £5 compulsory donation to War Child UK. Proceeds went to help children in war-affected areas, such as Ukraine and Yemen. The gig was only eligible for people aged 25 and over. Fans reportedly also had to sign legal documents, with phones confiscated at the doors.

The Show

The gig saw the live premieres of Won't Stand Down & Compliance. Assassin, Stockholm Syndrome and Agitated were all played in full for the first time since 2018 - the latter two did not appear on the original setlist. Assassin meanwhile was performed in its full Grand Omega Bosses form for the first time since 2005, including both the additional vocals featured in the bridge sung by Matt, and the Whammy guitar during the intro, as heard on its studio version.[6]

The Execution Commentary riff was also played for the first time since 2017.

Cavern management shared that the band changed one of the buttons on the wall of their dressing room to say "Will of the People" and the band walked onto the stage to the song Part Time Punks by Television Personalities

Both due to the size of the stage and Morgan's departure from the current tour, there was no fourth member present on the stage. Instead, Dom played some samples through his drum pad module, and also through a MIDI keyboard, placed next to him. This marked the first time in 16 years that Muse performed an entire gig with just the three of them on-stage.

Media

The first pro-shot of the show, being of Compliance, as well as the introduction, was posted online on May 14th, 2022, however it was taken down the same day. The video was finally posted on Jim Beam's YouTube channel on May 23rd, 2022, and it can be seen here.
