Setlist
Controversy
During the NBC coverage of the Closing Ceremony in the US, Muse's performance was entirely cut out due to an extended commercial break and airing of a new comedy "Animal Practice". This also meant they cut performances by Ray Davies, Kate Bush, and The Who. Many outraged fans berated NBC's coverage of the Olympics on social media websites including Twitter and Facebook. Many were tweeting '#NBCfail' in light of the spotty coverage. Toward the end of the following day, August 13th, NBC had begun deleting these posts on their sites.
