Information
A performance for the One Big Weekend festival organised by the BBC. Muse's first show since they recorded the new album and their first UK gig since Earls Court, 2004.
Matthew Bellamy, speaking a day before the gig: "We're a little bit rusty obviously, but we'll give it our best shot. We are looking forward to playing, it's good to do a gig after such a long break. It sort of kicks our arse back into gear and eh yeah I'm looking forward to it. We'll probably play a few new tracks there, and obviously a couple of old ones as well, and yeah - I'm looking forward to it."[source?]
The Show
Supermassive Black Hole, Starlight, and Knights of Cydonia were all played live for the first time. A new version of Sunburn was also played at this gig which featured Bellamy on guitar with Morgan Nicholls playing piano, creating a version that sounded very similar to the studio version. For unknown reasons however, this version hasn't been played since.
Bellamy used the Manson Chrome Bomber and the Manson M1D1 Black for the first time at the show, on a number of songs, while Dominic Howard used a new set of see-through acrylic drums.
At the request of Muse's management, one of the major fan sites initially refused to host downloads of the gig.
Attire
The band also sported a much different image from that of Absolution. Bellamy returned to his jet black hair and had grown it much longer, whilst Christopher Wolstenholme wore a very different hairstyle, with it being significantly longer and with a lighter colour. Howard had also grown his hair much longer.
