28I think most of the local bloggers must have blogged about Muse’s recent gig in Malaysia by now. I have not read any of them, or even the articles on the newspapers, but here’s mine. A rather late and pointless one.
The Goods
1. Getting there was rather easy. It has been ages since I took the monorail.
2. Indoor and air-conditioned. I was afraid it would rain, but it didn’t. Did someone called in the bomoh?
3. Pretty well-behaved crowd, well at least on my side of stadium.
4. Colourful mat-rockers and their partners.
5. Obvious hits like Supermassive Black Hole, Starlight, Knights of Cydonia, Time is Running Out, New Born, Stockholm Syndrome, etc. Just looking at the crowd jumping to every song gives me the high.
6. An hour plus of solid rock performance.
7. A great company. Thanks again, you know who you are.
The Bads
1. Almost 4 hours of waiting. We went early because we were expecting long queues from my past experience at the Incubus concert. Too early this time.
2. Was asked 5 times to join a survey by the organizer just because I’m a male, Chinese.
3. No opening bands. Well, that could be a good thing, but the waiting was too long.
4. The band started late, like 50 minutes late of the scheduled time. But that’s the norm. Superstar mah.
5. Not knowing most of the song words to sing along.
The Verdict
Bring on more rock concerts, please!
