I have seen Muse perform live many times and every show is a light and sound extravaganza. Last night, when the band was in town in support of their latest album Simulation Theory, was certainly no exception. It was an awesome concert! I really love Simulation Theory and I was happy that they played quite a few songs from it. They began the show with the Alternate Reality version of "Algorithm" and then played "Pressure," "Break It to Me," "Propaganda," "The Dark Side" (my favorite song from the album), a rousing version of "Thought Contagion" which got the Vivint Arena rocking, and the Acoustic Gospel version of "Dig Down." Every song was accompanied by incredibly theatrical lights, lasers, visuals, and choreographed performers in various LED light up suits. I loved it! They also played the hits, and some more obscure tracks, including "Psycho," "Uprising," "Plug In Baby," "Supermassive Black Hole," "Hysteria," "Madness," "Mercy," "Time Is Running Out," and an epic version of "Take a Bow." They ended their set with "Starlight," which is my favorite Muse song, and the obligatory confetti and streamers. For the encore they played "Algorithm," a kick-ass medley of "Stockholm Syndrome," "Assassin," "Reapers," "The Handler," and "New Born" complete with a giant cyborg skeleton looming over the stage, and "Knights of Cydonia." Matt Bellamy was in full rock-star mode wearing leather pants, neon shutter shades, and a variety of leather jackets (including several with LED lights) and he spent much of the evening shredding while on a runway extending into the crowd. It was quite the spectacle and I absolutely loved it!
