Reputed to have one of the best live shows in the world, alternative British band Muse rocked nearly 10, 500 devoted fans at Rexall Place Monday night.
Muse lead singer Matthew Bellamy, bassist Christopher Wolstenholme and drummer Dominic Howard captivated spectators with a sensory overload of green lazers, giant video screens and confetti filled eye-ball shaped balloons.
The band’s stage set up consisted of three towering structures that served both as giant video screens and moveable platforms.
Promoting their latest album The Resistance, few could resist the urge to cheer wildly as the group appeared to audiences from the platforms with a roaring entrance into the album’s lead tracks.
Lead singer Bellamy’s falsetto vocals laid overtop of the group’s rock-alternative sound is akin to that of Radiohead, while the classical influences of a digitized grand piano are reminiscent of rock-opera legend Freddy Mercury.
The latest in modern Brit rock, Muse belted out songs of rebellion in true artistic fashion in a performance that united mods and rockers like the 60’s never could.
Despite the group’s unique musical talent that left fans hungry for more and the intense visual buffet- turnout for the show was less appetizing.
Muse’s reputed stage performance may precede their popularity as tickets for the band drew a less than sold out crowd, despite gaining vast popularity over the past few years.
Overall Muse left those in attendance satisfied that last Monday night’s performance was what a good rock show was all about.
