The Show
"Soldier's Poem" was on the set list in brackets before "Knights of Cydonia", but was not played.
During "Hysteria", Chris appeared to either miss his cue, or his bass guitar cut out on the first note.[2]
"Fury" was played in B flat. Balloons were released during "Bliss", and CO2 shot up in "Butterflies and Hurricanes" and "Knights of Cydonia".
