Muse - Blackout Balloon Ballet

[sestrensaz]

The most disappointing thing about the HAARP DVD is the fact the 17th gig was recorded and not the 16th! The 16th was mostly in darkness due to delays while the 17th was earlier and most of the setlist is played while it's still light--including blackout. Can't be helped but, this night was just so superior to the 17th!

I agree sestrensaz my views are bias though haha. It's also not as impressive to show the dvd to someone years later, saying I was there....the day before! Doesn't quite have the same impact, ahwell.

I was there on the 16th too so ok, maybe I am bias as well haha! But I've seen plenty of people who went on the 17th mention the same thing. For songs like Blackout--it's in the title really, the darkness added to the magic. The shock of the crowd too was definitely more intense since noone knew what MUSE had in store for us. On the 17th half the crowd was there the night before! I loved that during this song everyone held up their lit up mobile phones, it looked like candlelight.

Great video. I was hoping I'd find one of this! I was absolutely gobsmacked when this started - not only is it one of my favourites but they did this for it! Incredible :D
