Absolution promo gig.

Information

Private show for around 100 concert goers. The show was broadcast as a promo for the near upcoming Absolution release.

A concert attendant defined the show as "The free cans of beer get passed around, and we know it’s going to be a good night. We’re in a tiny BBC studio tucked away in Maida Vale, with a hundred lucky competition winners about to witness an exclusive live set from Muse in surroundings not much bigger than your average primary school assembly hall. It’s 9.20pm, and with about forty minutes left on Zane Lowe’s Radio 1 show, Muse arrive onstage. They’re introduced by Zane Lowe as ‘one of the best bands in the world’ and we’re told to expect material from the new album as well as some older stuff. It’s a thrill just to see these three musicians at just an arms length away, but when they start playing their instruments, the results are nothing short of spectacular." [4]

The Show

The Groove was played for the first time at this concert. This is also the first recorded The Small Print on its final and album version.

The final played setlist differs from what appears in the printed one; New Born was played as an encore, not before Stockholm Syndrome, Time Is Running Out and Plug in Baby switched places and The Small Print does not appear on the setlist.

Media

The show was hosted by Alex Zane Lowe, and broadcast on Radio 1.[1] A recording is available here[registration needed], or can be downloaded from MuseBootlegs here.
