That's the funny thing - the intimate stuff always (well, nearly) comes across on DVD. Live, it's something else. You have to contend with pricks asking where their cigarettes are and people looking for somewhere to pee.

What's on The Resistance box set?
I know there's regular CD, the making of the album DVD, the vinyl LP, and the USB key with the songs on digital audio, but aside from that is there anything else rare like extra demo tracks or possibly B-Sides?

i'm a huge fan of both Queen and Muse. both contains amazing piano and guitar, also great composition of musics. still Queen on top, Muse, then Mika! :)
I don't seem to like anything by them. They're good players and all. But... meh. I dunno.
Call me old fashioned but it's not a real life concert for me when half of the music (or more?) comes from tapes and there is not a single amp or loudspeaker on the stage. Muse do perform a great show and the music is fantastic but the live show is too polished and a little too "un-live" for my taste. I also did not like that you could not see the band from the balcony when the boxes went up - only when you have a
front view you can see the band over the whole concert but many people have balcony seats with a side view on the stage. Overall it was a great concert but not something I would travel around Europe in order to see it.
Muse "live" in Cologne November 16, 2009
I happened to see Muse perform two songs in the Royal Albert Hall with the BBC orchestra last week ("Children In Need") - I liked that much better, it was all completely live.
Edit: there was additional tape in the RAH, too

No amps? Huh? What, do they play right through the PA or something?
I do not know. I assume they have amps, just not on stage, they are somewhere else. Just not seeing the equipment takes away from the live feeling for me (only from habit). It looks like a TV show rather than a Rock concert. Plus all the additional taped music takes away from the live feeling.
It was still a fantastic concert and I do not regret to have been there.

I know what you are getting at Barbara, and I certainly agree that it just feels like there's something wrong when they perform songs like "Exogenesis" or "United States of Eurasia" to partial background music, given that the originals were recorded by an actual orchestra.
I personally would rather seem them hold on to those, and at some point do a portion of the tour with a full scale orchestra, which is something Muse has been talking about for quite a while. However, just because you don't see the amps doesn't mean that they are not there. Plus a lot of the background music is performed by Morgan Nichols on keyboards, who sort of hides in the background.
I feel also a bit uneasy about those giant columns they are standing on. Although Burak mentioned that it's only a few times during the show when they are on top of them.
Let's see if Burak comes around to give us his feed, given that he went to the show in Rotterdam.

I agree with you, Barbara. I'm a huge Muse fan, but they have lost the "live" feeling they got in earlier years. If you see "Hullabaloo" (a DVD with a concert from 2001 in Paris) you'll realise what I mean. They were so wild in concerts back then. Now they polished their concerts, play the same fucking set list every night, dropped some of their very best songs (Space Dementia, Citizen Erased, Muscle Museum, Bliss and many more)and play most "pop crap" (Starlight, Feeling Good and the new singles). Maybe the several prizes they won with their live shows pushed them to make a more "market driven" show, but they have lost much of their rock live feeling.
