Last night, one of Britain’s biggest music trios hit the stage at the Bell Center and delivered a larger-than-life performance, that not only included an awesome light show but also a  pillar light stage . (I didn’t even realize that was possible)  They jump-kicked the show by performing the track “Uprising” from their most recent album titled The Resistance in which they were each elevated on their individual stage pillars. If that wasn’t astonishing enough, the pillars were each surrounded by close-up footage of each band member.  You would believe that bands would do all this to stray away from the possibility of them being less talented musically,  but this isn’t the case for Muse; they proved to everyone that you truly can have it all, talent and style.

After the third song, the pillars finally descended to a normal height that allowed Bellamy, and Wolstenholme the freedom to move around the complete stage.  The crowd embraced and welcomed these three rock stars by jumping and singing to the band’s massive tunes such as “Supermassive Black Hole” and “Map of the Problematique”, but really it was “Starlight” that did it. I don’t think there wasn’t a single soul singing the chorus of that song.

Admittedly, I was a little disappointed with the encore. Somehow I feel an instrumental song shouldn’t have been kept to the encore. I would have much rather heard “Take a Bow” or “Recess”.  Apart from that, Muse did exactly what I expected them to do, put on what I like to call a “sick” show. Well done, boys!
