Warm of muses

The MUSE group performed in Moscow for the third time the British group Muse arrived in Moscow. The musicians gave a large solo concert in Luzhniki, where six years ago they performed in the company of the then Russian favorites - "semantic hallucinations" and Nike Borzov. This evening cost without warming teams - fans of the group were already quite excited by the perspective of an imminent meeting with the beautiful.

Over six years, Muse from rising rock stars turned almost into the classics of a new heavy genre, which are crowded with an even younger generation. However, the level at which Muse operates remains exceptional, which was shown by the Moscow concert. They play even more powerful than before, and their music over time becomes more diverse. Few of the new generation is able to combine the cruel and heavy “slaughter” with performing grace or “wrap” of forecasting with a bright and memorable melody.

The concert began almost without delay, and this is very rare now. The first song was "Take a Bow", which opens the last current album "Black Holes and Revelations". And the final number was Knights of Cydonia, the last on the same plate. In general, songs with Black Holes and Revelations did not dominate the program. It was skillfully composed of the key belongings of all four albums and turned out to be so intense that hardly one of the Muse fans after the concert could complain about “malnutrition”.

Following the first thing was followed by "Hysteria". They were also performed by Sunburn, Muscle Museum, New Born, Feeling Good and other well -known numbers. The whole program with two exits to the BIS took about two hours. The leader of the group Matthew Bellamy laid out on the stage without sparing his abdomen. Truly, this person works "for two bets", responsible simultaneously both for the semi -pepper roules and for all guitar parties. But this was not enough for him: at some point, Bellamy connected the piano to the musical process.

Muse took care not only about sound, but also about visual accompaniment. In addition to the two side screens that displayed on the stage, there were three more monitors that gave rich food for thought. Of course, the recent Chemical Brothers gastrors give out a video sequence, but with their music it is simpler, and on the stage are quiet and surface. Closer to the completion of the first BIS into the hall from the stage, huge inflatable blue balls flew from the stage. This Fun Bellamy and the company were clearly borrowed from the senior comrades of Jethro Tull, scattering several giant balls after the end of their show. But they decided to take Muse in quantity and put up a lot of units of inflatable equipment. Blinding, balls showered the audience with kilograms of confetti - they approached the entertainment of the people Muse very thoroughly.
