MUSE @ Paris Bercy, Oct 18 2012

MUSE  @ Paris Bercy Oct 18 2012

Well well well, we saw them a few times a few years ago including one time at the Trabendo club in Paris in front of 600 people.
Now this band has become superstars , filling up stadiums.
Surprisingly they only play one show @ Paris Bercy, it was long sold-out and touts are making a fortune outside.
Muse has always made some efforts to get a great stage with lots of lightning, this time they do have a pyramid and screens EVERYWHERE, I mean literally EVERYWHERE.
Sound is neat and Bellamy seems to enjoy what he's doing unfortunately we don't.
Musically it's getting worse with each album, this band is turning into a Genesis of 2012 and we hate that prog shit.

If the stage wasn't that beautiful we would have get bored all the time, even when the songs suck there's something interesting to see so...
Glad they played the old stuff at the end
They were just above average !

The Doors, Live at the Bowl, Première, Paris Oct 17-18 2012

Once again not a lot of people for this press screening, that's all right with us , we get more space to relax. I've bee told that yesterday's night screening was full.

it's simply amazing what they've done with this movie , the image & the sound are pristine as if it was recorded last week. Included for the first time are 3 bonus tracks from the original concert.
The dvd will get some bonus interviews and documentary on The Doors.
Can't wait...

To be out on cd & dvd on Oct 22
