Muse concerts award9/22/2023 It also felt weighed down in the middle with limper, more melodramatic midtempo songs such as "Thought Contagion" and "Verona." The latter new one off like some of Coldplay's syrupiest gushers. "We need a revolution / So long as we stay free," frontman Matt Bellamy bellowed in the opener.Īfter many previous tours that followed a similar format, Sunday's set did not seem very revolutionary as far as Muse concerts go. The band started in right away with those, using the album's title track to kick off its nearly two-hour set. Sunday's set list pulled heavily from Muse's new album, "Will of the People" - yep, another one laced with rise-up dystopian themes. The headliners mustered up musical fireworks here and there, too, but not with the consistency of their visual gadgetry. Woe to the cleanup crew that had to deal with all the confetti and streamers Muse blew off in the arena. With its glitzy, elaborate visual and pyro production, Muse once again lived up to its reputation as a live band that's as close to a Cirque du Soleil show as it is to its musical touchstones such as Rush and Radiohead. The arty but heavy British trio brought along the similarly metallic but tender Evanescence for a dramatic twofer - the rare hard-rock show where the audience of 10,000-plus featured almost as many women as men. That, in a nutshell, was the takeaway from Muse's ever-hi-fi performance Sunday night at Target Center. Or a nifty light show and operatic rock music might do you some good, too.
