MUSE - H.A.A.R.P. cd/dvd (Live Performance)
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
There are those who have seen the band Muse live, and then there are simply those who haven't been FORCED to see them yet.
The 60's had The Beatles, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix. The 70's had bands like Led Zeppelin and Queen. The 80's and 90's also had their bands that you were told you HAD to see live, to truly appreciate them. These bands weren't only big because of their chart-topping hits, they became music legends because of their live performances. The english band Muse seems to know this...
The band Muse has made it their intent to bring an memorable experience to the concert-goer via an all-out light show and sound extravaganza at Wembley Stadium in England. And boy, do they ever deliver.
Muse has, (very geniusly) released a live performance CD and DVD combo called H.A.A.R.P. Having already been a MUSE fan, this cd/dvd was simply something I needed to check off my "completist" list. I was happy enough with the 14 audio tracks on the cd. The song list seems to span their last 3 highly successful full-length albums. The true gem is the DVD, where their live show shines brightly. Rife with strobelights, laserbeams, 20-ft monitors showing lyrics and robots, this show is legendary.
Frontman Matthew Bellamy is truly an artist and showman, prancing around the stage with judo-kicks, jumping splits and fall-to-knees playing that would make Jimi Hendrix himself proud.
The band's passion shows in every performance. I have already bought this cd/dvd twice, one as a gift and one for me. If you have not seen MUSE live, this is as close as you'll get. Great cd/dvd from a great band. A must-own!
