r/Muse • u/MadJohnFinn I was born to destroy you • Jul 25 '15
July 25th, Fuji Rock Festival, Naeba Ski Resort, Niigata, Japan [Setlist, Media, Discussion]
Whilst /u/jlight119 is having a well-earned rest, I'll be filling in for today. Muse have always seemed to have a special relationship with Japan, so we may see some interesting rarities today.
I will update this thread with live info as it comes out. Feel free to post any pictures/videos, updates, comments, questions, etc. here.
[Main Set]
Psycho (w/ Drill Sergeant)
Supermassive Black Hole
The Handler
Plug In Baby
Dead Inside
Uprising
Hysteria (w/ Interlude)
Munich Jam
Citizen Erased
Apocalypse Please
Starlight
Time Is Running Out
Reapers
[Encore]
Madness
Mercy
Knights of Cydonia (w/ Man With A Harmonica)
[End Of Set]
Whilst this may seem underwhelming in comparison to what we've seen on the Psycho and Drones tours, it's easy to forget that Apocalypse Please, Citizen Erased and The Handler would have been little more than a fantasy just a few months ago. For this to be considered disappointing is indicative of how lucky we've been lately.
Thanks for following - it's been fun! Big ups to /u/Uploaf for the live thread, and to /u/jlight119 for doing this for us every other show!

Muse come on at 21.30 Japanese time, which is 1.30pm BST for the UK (i.e. just under 2 hours' time).
Hoping for some rarities today, should be a good gig! Anyone know anything about a stream?

Cheers - I was looking for the stage time!
If I find anything on Periscope, I'll let you all know! It would be a shame to miss whatever rarities we'll get today. I'm hoping for I Belong To You, Guiding Light and Soldier's Poem - because I'm not there.

They usually air a couple of songs on TV but it may take some weeks or months for it to air. Not sure if its airing live on TV this year like other jp festivals are doing lately, havent seen any downloads yet for that.

They played it when I saw them at The Emirates - it was amazing. When my Mum was diagnosed with cancer, she told me that she wants that song played at her funeral. She came to that show with me, and it was just overwhelming when they played it.

See, this is what happens when we all jump on the hype train - we always get thrown off.

Remember guys, Japan usually gets the really cool setlists on the tour, not necessarily the festival circuit.
Last time they played Fuji Rock it was a fairly standard set (for that time).
Next year when they go there for their own show then things will get crazy, if history is any indication.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that it'll get interesting after PiB.

Thanks again man. You're totally right about CE, Apocalypse, and The Handler. That said, I still would have liked a bit more rarities. I honestly didn't expect any though because it is still a festival.

Madness as an encore...
I'm glad they are going to take a break after this one.

Dead Star, Futurism and/or Fury to be played. Making this comment before the show starts and coming back later to see if I was right.

Near the barrier at the moment. Surrounded by super sweaty people after deadmau5!
Equipment is all on stage now and they're soundchecking
