Muse performed inside Staples Center in September 2010,[1][2] this being the second of two consecutive nights.[1] There were three ticket pre-sales.[1] The first took place through Concertmaps on the 13th of July from 10:00,[1] the second through Livenation on the 15th from 10:00[1] to 22:00[2] and the third through KROQ on the 16th from 10:00[1] to 22:00.[2] General sale started through Ticketmaster on the 17th at 10:00.[1][2][3] and through the Staples Center ticket office on the 26th.[3] There was a limit of 8 tickets per household.[2]

The towers experienced some malfunctions: While Christopher Wolstenholme's curtain didn't drop at the start of Uprising, Matthew Bellamy's curtain got caught on his guitar rack which then resulted in the rack including the guitars being pulled off the tower when the curtain was pulled down, in turn causing the Glitterati permanent damage rendering it unusable. This meant that the towers came down by the end of the song so that Bellamy could get the Doubleneck for the next song. As a result, both Resistance and New Born were played on the floor. The towers functioned normally again by the time the piano section arrived.

The outro riffs to Stockholm Syndrome lasted over 8 minutes and included 10 different riffs, one of the longest riff sessions in the history of Muse gigs. When asked, Dominic Howard said the jam was lead by Bellamy playing riffs they had not played in years. This jam was not on the set-list.

This gig marks the first and only performance of Neutron Star Collision (Love Is Forever) in the US to date and the first performance of Bliss in the US since Boston Agganis Arena in 2007.
