I mean, seriously. Muse was AMAZING. Unbelievable. One of the best shows I've ever seen, and I've seen some great shows. And Matt is a sick guitar player. He and Chris and Dom would just go off at the end of songs or in between and just jam or Matt would do these amazing riffs... my ears are still ringing. At the end of the main set, they were playing Plug in Baby and from the side came out all of these giant white balloons that bounced out into the crowd and as people hit them they popped and showered paper confetti all over. It was very cool. They played all my favorites and I was *thrilled* to finally get to listen to their music as loud as I wanted to. My ears are still ringing, but it was totally worth it.
Rob and I were totally laughing as we looked around and we were saying that it was kind of incredible that a band like Muse would be playing in such a podunk venue. I have nothing personally against the McKay Events Center - it was nice, and I loved being in such a small place with such an amazing band. But these are the same guys that headline Glastonbury and sell out Wembley on multiple nights. I guess America is still catching on (Heh. says the girl who's been a Muse fan for how long? lol :) Whatever the reason, I'm so glad they came to Orem. And Rob, who came with me for kicks, is now a fan :D Although he claims Muse will be a mood thing for him. Pfft.
They were checking purses at the door, so I had to smuggle my camera in (although I don't think they were looking for cameras judging by the number of other people taking pictures... lol). We were in the front row of our section right by the guards that kept trying to catch jumpers going into the GA section. So I didn't use my flash just in case. Most of the pictures are a bit blurry as a result, but I got some decent ones. Here are a few :)
More photos here.
And now, bedtime for me... I have to be back down in Provo by 8:15 tomorrow morning in order to carpool from the office to the Marriott for our company meeting. Bets on whether or not I make it on time? lol.
P.S. Have I mentioned that I really really REALLY love Muse? Oh. Yeah. I guess I did. :D
