15:00 my sister and I left for Emirates Stadium, bought ourselves queue provisions at King's Cross (where we blasphemously didn't visit Platform 9 3/4 this time - but only because we had visited it on our first London trip) and arrived at the stadium just before 16:00.
Provisions, om nom nom.
We queued at Turnstile M again. I was sitting on my cardigan and - because the sun was being annoyingly hot - with my jacket over my head.
Shortly after 17:00 the doors openend and this time sis and I went right in. We got ourselves a spot in front of the sound-booth barrier.
Today's view. Oh look, there's a clock that I didn't notice yesterday.
18:00-30 The 1975 played. They sounded good.
19:00-40 Dizzee Rascal played and I swear the bass sounded worse here than yesterday at the barrier.
After Dizzee I stood up. Sitting on my cardigan really helped me sit longer.
OMG, they sell bottled water here! Why doesn't every venue do that?! Also, heh, it's Arsenal brand water.
For this gig I have a YouTube playlist too, and most of the following pictures are screencaps from these videos.
20:20 Muse started with 1. intro + Supremacy.
What I didn't see yesterday is that the intro ended with a fireball going off at the end of the catwalk.
Check out this perfect smoke ring on the left.
2. Supermassive Black Hole.
3. Panic Station.
4. Map of the Problematique + Who Knows Who riff.
Note the flying roll of toilet paper.
Better view of the catwalk today, fuck yeah!
5. Interlude + Hysteria + Back in Black outro.
6. Animals.
Making grabby hands for the Musos.
Success \o/! My sis and I both got one. Mine was caught by the guy next to my sister and he was so nice and gave it to me. Thanks, dude! :oD
7. Man with a Harmonica + Knights of Cydonia.
I gave my sister the camera, so I could jump to this awesomest of awesome concert songs.
\o/ NO ONE'S GONNA TAKE ME ALIVE \o/
God, I'll never get over how fucking magical this song is! The singing along, the hands in the air, the jumping of the crowd, the energy.
I was amazed that even back at the sound booth you could feel a moment of warmth when the chimneys fired.
8. Dracula Mountain + Sunburn.
Yeah, got to hear Sunburn a second time!
9. Butterflies and Hurricanes.
And got to B&H a second time too!
10. Montpellier Jam + Feeling Good.
I thought that maybe today we'd get Montpellier Jam followed by Explorers, but no, Feeling Good again.
11. Follow Me.
12. Liquid State.
D'oh, again this instead of Save Me.
13. Madness.
14. House of the Rising Sun riff + Time is Running Out.
15. Stockholm Syndrome + Freedom outro.
Thank you, roulette (I would have been massively disappointed if I didn't get to hear one of my favorite songs). My sister took the camera for this song.
Show of hands: Who thinks Stockholm Syndrome is awesome?
Because I learned from yesterday, I used the encore break to change the camera battery. I was even fast enough and didn't miss anything, yeah!
16. Unintended.
17. Blackout.
And then I noticed the the acrobat is the same woman as the one from Feeling Good.
18. Guiding Light.
19. Undisclosed Desires.
Chris and Dom grinning, possibly because Matt is about to walk past the crowd again.
Muse.mu has a photo of another moment like this (the headline says it's from the 26th, but actually it happened on the 25th).
A girl with a Fury sign got a hug. I hope for her that was a compensation for not getting Fury. For everyone else it obviously wasn't. Oh god, seriously, how I crave to hear Fury live just once!
2nd encore break.
20. Unsustainable.
21. Plug In Baby.
22. Survival.
3rd encore break.
23. Isolated System.
24. Uprising.
25. Starlight.
In-ear-monitor nipples *snort*.
23:20 my sister and I arrived back at the hotel and the door was locked and no one at reception. This was not cool, as their website had claimed that the door would be open around the clock. We tried the door several times and rang the bell. In the meantime 2 Asians joined us at the door. Finally, after what turned out to be only about 5 minutes (You know how things seem to take longer, when you don't know when they'll be over?), the receptionist appeared and opened the door.
