Oh the emo!
The date: Muse and The Silversun Pickups playing their big arena tour, dinner first at the best downtown Nashville pre concert scene- Merchants.
She Said:
First off, I have to give big props to Merchants for the little known secret that you can use Valet parking for your pre concert dinner, and leave your car all night! That was the absolute best deal! Good food, good drink, best location and what a perk!
We watched all the emo kids filing into Sommet from our window seat and enjoyed our pub grub dinner with another couple.
Entering the arena, the excitement was palpable. This is a big group and they have majorly obsessed fans!
The Silver Sun Pickups (whom we saw in December at the Not So Silent night concert), again gave a great show. The energy was less intense in such a big venue, but that also meant our eardrums weren't bleeding when they were done.
And then....
Muse.
It was a wildly bright, strobing, energetic light show, with amazing stage set up, stage changes and of course rocking music. I am a big fan, and so was everyone around us. The singing along of some of the most indecipherable lyrics in current play was amazing. We all have our own deciphering of their lyrics, and I see that we are no less passionate about singing along despite not being sure of what they are or what they mean.
The opening sequence was unexpected- with the band showing up in the middle of tall columns of their light display.
Starlight was especially memorable, with a beautiful color display that reminded me of a kaleidoscope.
It was pulse pounding, seizure inducing awesomeness, every second but the bluesy piano interlude (boo- not a fan of that style)! Muse definitely can entertain.
