Muse at Street Scene is still listed four times! (Dave Mathews at the HBowl twice, but there’s no way that could even come close to Dave Mathews at the Gorge!)

Karen, your comment is well taken, the audiences at Muse gigs lately are full of Starlighters (my term, but it has caught on!) who don’t know Citizen Erased from Showbiz. But, they’re learning—seeing NewBorn and Plug in Baby live has gotten a lot of them to seek out the “older” CD’s (though Showbiz and OOS were only released in the US in late ’05, well after Absolution).

BTW I have been a fan since mid’04; as soon as I heard Absolution, I HAD to spend a fortune ordering all their other stuff off of AmazonUK. And now you can get it at Borders!

KROQ? Who listens to radio anyway! And I’m in Seattle….

I am very surprised that Rage at Vegoose isn’t on the list.

Remember Muse, the old Muse, before KROQ played them?

Ah, yeah, didn’t think so.

Robots forever—as in Supermassive Black Hole concert visuals? Oh yes!

Actually, far and away the best gig (well, gigs, as there were 2) would have to be Muse at Wembley. The lights around the Sports Arena can’t compare to giant balloons with spinning acrobats suspended above sold-out crowds of 75,000—-with epic performances by the band that has won Best Live Band several years in a row in the European awards…

Hard to top that one—I was there, both shows, I can attest to the legendary nature of those gigs!
