Band: Muse
Place: Bogota, Colombia
Date: July 20th, 2008
Tickets: US$72 and US$112

Location

The concert took place in "Palacio de los deportes" , which means Sports Palace, and it was design for sports events specially. It has a capacity of 10.000 people is a small place. It was a good choice of the organization.



Band performance

I'm still asking, how can a 3 members band sound so good? Is unbelivable, this is a band that knows what is doing on stage. They played 2 hours , and every song was perfectly executed, simply amazing. What i liked a lot was that the played a couple of instrumental songs , and one of them was only bass and drums , so muse is not only Mathew Bellamy, the drum player and the bass player are very talented too. The one who interacted the most with the public was the drum player Dominic Howard, very nice guy and awesome drummer. Of course youb will always say that the didn't play a song , but in general the repertoir was very well selected , and the final song couldn't be better, it was Knights of Cydonia , so the place almost crash with that song. If you are not a Muse fan you should go to concert anyway, they are absloutely amazing , and are the perfect example of how a band should perform live.

Mathew Bellamy performance

This guy is extremely talented , he plays the guitar, the piano and also sings. Playing the guitar you can note his Tom Morello influence , he is amazingly acurate. he doesn't make a dancing show , or he doesent play with his teeth but that is not neccesary to keep staring at him while he plays the guitar. I don't know a lot about piano playing , but you can hear a classical background in a couple of songs, he plays the piano as good as the guitar. And what can I say about his voice , is just amazing , 2 hours without resting, one of the best voices I have ever heard live.

Conclusion

Im a Muse fan so you can notice Im not being to objective. This was one of the best concerts I have ever seen, excellent location , great sound and an amazing band. This wasn't like the wembley conert but it was totally worth. I hope I can see them again in the future.

Sounds like it was a good gig. I am a big fan of muse I have never seen them live. But, I wanted to go to their wembley stadium concert, but couldnt as Metallica was on just after or before (cant remember) so I saw Metallica instead at Wembley. But, I watched the live DVD of wembley (The H.A.R.P cd, with bonus disc) And its amazing.

I read a statement that said "Matt Bellamy is the next Jimi Hendrix" It was in Total Guitar Magazine.

But yes, they are amazing and I'm pleased you had a good time!

Excelent Review!

I love Muse, it is one of my favourite bands, They are just amazing.... I've been trying to find where is the mistake, and I still looking for... The music is perfect, their concerts are incredible, the creation of his songs, his profesionalism is pure.... I don't know what more can I say...

I want to be like this band!

This was a long time ago but great review. I've seen them in 2007 november... I guess they'll never return to Hungary since there were around 3000 people in an arena that usually gets stuffed with 15000 (it surely wasn't a welcoming vista for the 3 guys on stage... ).

Muse rocks big time, one of my favourites... hope they'll finish their new album this year
