Muse / Silversun Pickups

Spectacular show to be in the nosebleeds for. Set was massive, including a projected skyscraper; at different points footage would play, I recall specifically the likeness of lines of men in suits descending endless loops of stairs.

Before the show, my dad and I noticed large somethings in nets hung from the ceiling, and wondered what they were. We found out: they were giant eyeballs that, once released, slowly dropped down toward the crowd. The first one was falling close enough to onstage that Bellany whipped his guitar off and through the air at the eye like a baseball bat, and it burst in a shower of red streamers. Many of the other eyes survived for a while, being bounced by the crowd on the floor. It was such a strong visual that it's stuck with me ever since.
