I have no idea what time to arrive for the general admission line for the U2 / Muse show. I don't necessarily have to be in the inner circle, but I don't want to be all the way back on the field, either. Plus...it's going to be in Raleigh, NC. It couldn't possibly be as bad as lining up somewhere like NYC. Hmm.....

I'm leaving early, but I'm still scared that I might hit a shit load of traffic.
In New York, especially when you are crossing the bridges, it's never sure when you'll get there.

I have limitless fondness and admiration for bands who don't take mimed shows seriously. Bravo!

They should have done two nights at the Madison just like Green Day in July and Depeche early in August. I had the ticket for Depeche already, but I bought the ticket for Green Day a couple of hours before the gig, and even though I was on the side of the stage I could watch and listen to the gig very well.
Maybe the Garden is not big enough for the U2. Whatever.
A pitty that Muse is not playing as the main act...
Kidding. : -)) Well, not really, but the U2 fans have a good sense of humor, I hope... ; -))

I have tickets for a Muse concerts in November - it's almost peer pressure with many of my Queen friends being big Muse fans ;-)
The BBC DVD about heir recent "homecoming" Teignmouth concert can be downloaded from dimeadozen

It has 7 songs from the concert plus a documentary called:
Muse: A Seaside Rendezvous

i still reckon the keyboard in Uprising sounds like the intro to Billy Idols White Wedding but thats all im gonna say as i know i'm outnumbered when it comes to Muse [sorry Mari but i did try to get into their music but its not for me]
They haven't cast a spell on me, so you're not alone - but having said that I think they're a great little group and their sense of humour with the miming thing is incredibly endearing.

I just had to steal this signature pic from someone at the Muse message board, and I'm sure all of you Queen fans would love it.

The show was great, minus a few flaws that could have made it better.
Muse was in plain words, phenomenal. They truly owned that gigantic claw while they performed and truly showed that their performance is made for stadiums. I think that the only song from Muse that kinda bored me was 'Undisclosed Desires', but aside from that everything was superb. They opened with an instrumental version of 'America' from West Side Story.
U2 put on a really good show as well. However, I can see why some U2 fans might find that stadium tours and massive stage sets don't work well with U2's music. There were some songs like 'Elevation', 'Vertigo', 'City of Blingding Lights', 'Sunday Bloody Sunday', and 'Where The Streets Have No Name' where the gigantic stage worked well as these are songs made for a massive sing along. Yet still, it doesn't seem to work that quite well with songs like 'One' or 'With or Without You' where you expect a closer and more intimate feel.

Two nights at the Madison was the way to go. Did you get to see Depeche Mode early in August? The gig was superb. Really.
I'm happy that you enjoyed the concert. Muse seems to be the kind of band one would have a lot of fun watching and listening to live. As to U2, well, I saw them three times already and I left the venue baffled by the poor musicianship of the guys all the three times. ; -)) So, as a friend said, it's maybe time for me to stop going to their gigs because either my expectations are too high or my dislike for the band is so strong that I can't fairly judge the performances.
Thanks for writing about the gig!!!

Hey Yara
You were in New York at the time? I thought you lived in Brazil?
Anyways, I hope you had fun at the Green Day show.
Did you go to the first or the second night?
