An amusing thought.

I've seen a lot of concerts.

During college, if I liked a band enough to own their album, I liked them enough to go see them on concert. Sometimes, multiple times.

But all that experience jaded me. I haven't been to a show in years (with the exception of a couple free invitations here and there), and I really don't have many bands I actually care enough about to go see, much less pay to see.

Except Muse.

They are so wonderful. Over-the-top, driving rock, that's strung together in a way that's almost operatic. Hardly known in the states, but in Europe they have to play multiple stadium shows in a single city because they sell out so quickly. They're the only band I score 100% singing vocals on Rock Band.

And they're playing in Paris in November.

The tickets are expensive - a couple dinners, or a nice outfit - but, wow. Watching the live videos on YouTube, I think I'm more impressed by the insane crowd than the band's theatrics.



This will be an interesting decision to make.
