Second of the two homecoming Den shows. As with show one, the gig doubled as being a promo gig for [[The Resistance (album)|The Resistance]].
 
== Information ==
 
Together with gig one, this one was also rumoured in mid-July of 2009,<ref>http://www.musewiki.org/index.php?title=Template%3AGigs%2F2009&diff=47658&oldid=46737</ref> the South Devon newspaper ''Herald Express'' lent credence to the possibility of two early-September [[Teignmouth]] gigs on the 4th of August, 2009. Permission was still being sought at that time, though anecdotes from locals suggested that the concerts were thought likely to go ahead.<ref>http://www.muselive.com/forums.php?m=posts&p=1613327#1613327</ref> Support was gauged by the council through sending letters regarding the concerts to locals, culminating with a meeting inside Teignbridge council offices at 10AM on the 17th of July.<ref>https://twitter.com/muse/statuses/3328794338</ref> The two gigs marked the first time Muse performed at their hometown of Teignmouth in 14 years. The last time that Muse played in there was [[Teignmouth Ivy House Hotel 1995-12 (gig) |in 1995]], during their early days.
 
[[Christopher Wolstenholme|Chris Wolstenholme]] appealed for followers of [[musewire|Musewire]] to turn up to the offices in support of the gigs, and the council allowed the concerts to go ahead, under the condition that the sound level does not exceed 84.1 decibels.
 
The concerts were announced on [[Official Muse website|the Muse website]] the following day, collectively dubbed "A Seaside Rendezvous", inspiration believed to be taken from [[Queen]]'s song of the same name. Ticket price is the same as that of the rest of [[The Resistance (album) | The Resistance]] tour, namely £37.50 without booking fee, through the Muse website, Ticketmaster, Gigs and Tours/Seetickets and an unspecified Teignmouth booking office.  A limited number of tickets was sold with coach transport through "Gigs And Tours", from the following cities: Birmingham, Bristol, London, Manchester, Nottingham, Oxford and Southampton.
 
It has been speculated that these twin gigs are what DJ [[Zane Lowe]] meant by his "surprise" in store for Muse fans.<ref>http://www.muselive.com/forums.php?m=posts&q=39534</ref> This seems to have been the case, as he announced, on his Tuesday 18th of August programme, that he would be supporting Muse as a DJ, and that a partial recording of the concerts — along with "Muse at 10" (a pun on "News at 10") — would be broadcast on his Monday 7th of September programme. "Muse at 10" was a documentary celebrating the 10 years of Muse since the release of the [[Showbiz (album)|debut album ''Showbiz'']] was first released, on the 7th of September 1999 in France.
 
Multiple competitions for the event were held in various countries, including Austria<ref>http://muse.mu/news/article/463/austrian-muse-fans---win-teignmouth-tickets/</ref> and Switzerland<ref>http://muse.mu/news/article/465/swiss-muse-fans---win-teignmouth-tickets/</ref>. Competitions in Austria were held by FM4 and in Swizerland by 20 Minuten, 20 Minutes, Couleur 3 and DRS 3, all local radios. A bid for eight pairs of tickets was held by The Helen Foundation, with the proceeds going towards charitable purposes.<ref>http://muse.mu/news/article/459/bid-for-signed-teignmouth-tickets-with-the-helen-foundation/</ref>
 
The gigs' technical preparations on site began on August 31st. The stage was built on the south side of the Den and attendees viewed the concert from the north side of the field. The design of the stage is inspired in the 'Punch and Judy' stage, a traditional or folk puppet show from the seaside region that dates from Victorian times, in where a set of dolls perform several comic acts.
 
== The Show ==  
 
The setlist for the second gig was similar to the first one, with [[Feeling Good (live)|Feeling Good]] added and [[Stockholm Syndrome (live)|Stockholm Syndrome]] moved to the encore, before [[Plug In Baby (live)|Plug In Baby]].
 
During the first chorus of [[Uprising (live)|Uprising]], Matt mistakenly sang "they will ''not'' degrading us". During [[Popcorn (live)|Popcorn]], Matt accidentally played the ending notes a few bars earlier.
 
Matt had another go at playing [[United States of Eurasia (live)|Collateral Damage]] after United States of Eurasia, but stopped due to forgetting how to play it mid-way through. This gig marks the last time he has attempted the outro live.
 
== Ticket sale ==
 
The first [[Official Muse website | Muse]] pre-sale was from 9AM on the 19{{supo|th}} of August, 2009. This pre-sale was enforced by unique codes given to each member of the official Muse website. Only one order could be made and tickets were limited to four per order. This system prevented the vendors' websites from buckling and people were able to buy tickets for a long period after the pre-sale started. A second Muse pre-sale took place the following day, that time limited to members of the mailing list. General sale caused Seetickets outage, which was still the case at 09:33,<ref>https://www.seetickets.com/see/price.asp?code=417125</ref> but had ended by 09:37, the same day.<ref>https://www.seetickets.com/see/price.asp?code=417125</ref>
 
General sale sale started on the 21st of August, 2009.

Second of the two homecoming Den shows. As with show one, the gig doubled as being a promo gig for The Resistance.

Information

Together with gig one, this one was also rumoured in mid-July of 2009,[7] the South Devon newspaper Herald Express lent credence to the possibility of two early-September Teignmouth gigs on the 4th of August, 2009. Permission was still being sought at that time, though anecdotes from locals suggested that the concerts were thought likely to go ahead.[8] Support was gauged by the council through sending letters regarding the concerts to locals, culminating with a meeting inside Teignbridge council offices at 10AM on the 17th of July.[9] The two gigs marked the first time Muse performed at their hometown of Teignmouth in 14 years. The last time that Muse played in there was in 1995, during their early days.

Chris Wolstenholme appealed for followers of Musewire to turn up to the offices in support of the gigs, and the council allowed the concerts to go ahead, under the condition that the sound level does not exceed 84.1 decibels.

The concerts were announced on the Muse website the following day, collectively dubbed "A Seaside Rendezvous", inspiration believed to be taken from Queen's song of the same name. Ticket price is the same as that of the rest of The Resistance tour, namely £37.50 without booking fee, through the Muse website, Ticketmaster, Gigs and Tours/Seetickets and an unspecified Teignmouth booking office. A limited number of tickets was sold with coach transport through "Gigs And Tours", from the following cities: Birmingham, Bristol, London, Manchester, Nottingham, Oxford and Southampton.

It has been speculated that these twin gigs are what DJ Zane Lowe meant by his "surprise" in store for Muse fans.[10] This seems to have been the case, as he announced, on his Tuesday 18th of August programme, that he would be supporting Muse as a DJ, and that a partial recording of the concerts — along with "Muse at 10" (a pun on "News at 10") — would be broadcast on his Monday 7th of September programme. "Muse at 10" was a documentary celebrating the 10 years of Muse since the release of the debut album Showbiz was first released, on the 7th of September 1999 in France.

Multiple competitions for the event were held in various countries, including Austria[11] and Switzerland[12]. Competitions in Austria were held by FM4 and in Swizerland by 20 Minuten, 20 Minutes, Couleur 3 and DRS 3, all local radios. A bid for eight pairs of tickets was held by The Helen Foundation, with the proceeds going towards charitable purposes.[13]

The gigs' technical preparations on site began on August 31st. The stage was built on the south side of the Den and attendees viewed the concert from the north side of the field. The design of the stage is inspired in the 'Punch and Judy' stage, a traditional or folk puppet show from the seaside region that dates from Victorian times, in where a set of dolls perform several comic acts.

The Show

The setlist for the second gig was similar to the first one, with Feeling Good added and Stockholm Syndrome moved to the encore, before Plug In Baby.

During the first chorus of Uprising, Matt mistakenly sang "they will not degrading us". During Popcorn, Matt accidentally played the ending notes a few bars earlier.

Matt had another go at playing Collateral Damage after United States of Eurasia, but stopped due to forgetting how to play it mid-way through. This gig marks the last time he has attempted the outro live.

Ticket sale

The first Muse pre-sale was from 9AM on the 19th of August, 2009. This pre-sale was enforced by unique codes given to each member of the official Muse website. Only one order could be made and tickets were limited to four per order. This system prevented the vendors' websites from buckling and people were able to buy tickets for a long period after the pre-sale started. A second Muse pre-sale took place the following day, that time limited to members of the mailing list. General sale caused Seetickets outage, which was still the case at 09:33,[14] but had ended by 09:37, the same day.[15]

General sale sale started on the 21st of August, 2009.
