Muse Gig

Oslo has a surprisingly high number of great bands playing here. Muse are one of my absolute favourites, and i got the chance to see them in july at Wembley, this was a smaller venue, which brings its own pro's and cons, but i was very very excited about the gig. Unfortunately, i had aquired seating tickets...much to my mate daves annoyance, which was compounded by the fact that my friend Sidsel and her sister had standing tickets...so for about 20 minutes, myself and dave scoured the ticket touts outside to find standing tickets (note. the touts were all scousers from liverpool in england...ill avoid the obvious stereotyping), but all the touts had were seating tickets. eventually we found 2 standing tickets and had to pay an absolute fortune for them, plus we still had paid for our seating tickets...which we managed to sell for a pitance to a tout. we had paid more than twice as much as theface value to have the opportunity to stand in the mosh pit at the front...which in oslo, believe me is expensive!

anyway, gig shots below. was an incredible gig, both visually and sounds wise (is there a sound/listening version of visual??)

crowds here are weird though...in the uk in the front of gigs, everyone bounces and jumps around like lemmings on speed (best i could think of, sorry), but here, its all 'hands/fists in the air'....much prefer the uk method

anyway...was a fantastic gig. (the barometer of a good gig is how sore my neck is in the morning, and what my range of turning my head has...needless to say im very careful crossing the road today)

top night

ps apologies for the self indulgent posting of so many gig photos, that will be meaningless to most.

pps i stopped trying to convince people that 'my music taste was better than anyone elses...so you should listen to my music' about 10 years ago...however, for reference, Muse are well worth a listen. Genre is kinda rock, with electro stuff, piano and a falsetto voiced singer. well i like it
