Copy and pasted from the other thread:
"My mind is absolutely blown, that was probably the best thing that I've ever experienced.
I queued for about an hour before the gig and managed to get about 25 rows back during the first 2 bands, then Biffy came on and, despite most people nearly getting killed in this one pit, I managed to get within a row of the inside barrier, about 15 rows back, great view.
Uprising was amazing, it really is the perfect opener. Everyone jumping and singing the synth parts and screaming the chorus and the Oi's.
SMBH was a bit dull, there's not really much to do.
MK ULTRA was incredible, I wasn't expecting it because they played it on that advert before Biffy, so I though that maybe they wouldn't, but they did and it was awesome, didn't expect it that early, I was awaiting New Born at that point.
MotP was a surprise considering we'd already had, I've seen Muse twice, both during this era, and they've played MK AND MotP at both of them, but only 3 or 4 other gigs. Map really is brilliant live.
Bliss was phenomenal, it's one of my least favourite tracks in the studio, but live it was possibly the best all night, the crowd reaction was fantastic, Matt's falsetto was spot on, and the song was reeeeeeeally long, the solo at the end was great.
Guiding Light was better than I though it would be, my friend got one of the streamers, and we took the oppurtunity to ask the stewards for some water, so pretty much everyone in the vicinity was drinking throughout the song.
Hysteria was meh.
Citizen Erased was stunning, when I heard the bass drum at the start I just went absolutely mental, the end is awesome, and the riffing, especially before the solo.
USE was as good as I remember it being, the Sia's at the had fantastic atmosphere, as well as the Queeny bits, and moshing during the arabic strings.
RbS was my favourite, I really didn't expect and I just screamed for about 10 seconds and decided to listen, there isn't much to do but just stand still and shiver.
Feeling Good was pretty good to be honest, but rather uninteresting.
I'm starting to forget the order now, and I don't have much more to say for the other songs but, MK Jam and UD were brilliant, we were about 5 feet away and Dom definitely smiled at me, Starlight was incredible, especially the heavy bits in the middle, same with TIRO, was absolutely fantastic atmosphere during the chorus and prechorus, the crowd singing was great as ever. Resistance was great live, but I still prefer it in the studio. Unnatural Selection was perfect, the atmosphere in the prechorus was intense.
Exo wasn't particurlarly special, but the alien was cool, I prefered the song with the towers though. Stockholm Syndrome was really great where I was, the people around me were mentalists, I kind of feel sorry for the small people behind us though.
TaB was expected, but I imagine that for those who hadn't watched videos etc. it would have been a pretty awesome time, with the flashing suit and everything. It was a very good song. Plug in Baby was very good, so much better when you're there, because everyone knows it. I managed to pop a balloon, but I didn't get it
but I did get a mouthful of confetti, note to self, don't pop balloon with mouth open, I will be shitting paper for days. Knights was decent, but there would be better closers, obviously the crowd went mental and some of the pits were pretty insane, but I don't like the song much tbh.
Biffy were also really incredible, I nearly lost my shoes on quite a few occasions while they were on.
Best moment of the night was confetti in the mouth, it was hilarious."
And btw, I'm fairly sure that WWAB was not played after SS, it was different, but I don't know what it was.
