'Lastfm' peeps, did you attend the concert? [Muse-FCP-Attendees-List]


What a night it was! Arrived early to be amongst the first 100+ attendees in the queue. But coming closer to the entry point, the people in front seemed to grow bit by bit due to their late-comers' buddies joining in by the droves. Security system badly needed next time for a number tag assigned to each early bird so that it will be fair for the obedient queuers. After waiting for about an hour & a half, the trio finally came out and with it comes the moshing. It looks like the survival of the fittest as a massive bunch of us were physically tilted together to our left and were struggling to get to grips back up as K.O.C was being played. Then when Hysteria came on, a couple of unfortunate peeps passed out while a few fell on their butts. Always knew this would happen and without any wind at all, everyone was like really squeezed to the max like molecules and gasping for air. But the show must go on and we gotta endure the current struggle. Best part was during New Born & Stockholm Syndrome where the crowd absolutely went mental with our jumping/moshing/headbanging activities. Having some beer/alcohol during the concert also helped raise the insanity level. And of course, there were a few bodysurfers now and then. It's either they were really hardcore fans or they can't bear the suffocation and needed a fast escape. The band played some older hits which were totally unexpected, like Sunburn and Feeling Good. It was truly one of the most surreal rock experience seeing these trio playing in the flesh. Matt with his usual stage-antics and weird face expressions, Dom hitting the drums as if he has the arms of a WWF wrestler and Chris grooving on his bass with exquisite style. Hordes of hands were in the air clapping in unison, jiggling & waving all throughout. Combined with sweaty bodies, drenched outfits, giddiness and physically drained out with all the like-minded souls who share the same music affection towards your favourite band is something that can't be put to words. And they have expressed a desire to come back again...
