Mile High A-MUSE-ment!

In addition to the fantastic tour of medical marijuana dispensaries that I did last time I went to Denver, I also got to see Muse. They were making their triumphant return to Denver after cancelling their show there last April.
Instead of flying out, Superfro and I drove, making the 13 hour trip all in one day with Paxton in tow. She's not much of a Muse fan but she was looking forward to seeing her canine friends Sasha & Audrey.

Paxton brought her favorite pillow to assure a cozy ride to Denver.

Audrey, poised and ready for some fetching!

Sasha tolerated Paxton very nicely. Paxton knew to give her a wide berth!

Poor Sasha was suffering from a sore back and could not jump or rough house!

The Muse show was at the Pepsi Center, where the Colorado Avalanche play, and the band was using the same stage set-up as the Chicago show. We had general admission floor tickets and I was pleased to find out that the Pepsi Center doesn't jam pack the floor. We were able to find a place to stand right in front of the sound board.

I incorrectly assumed that Muse would play the same set that we had seen in Chicago but the switched things up a little bit. Here are a few of the pics I took, including one of the set list which I asked the sound tech for after the show. According to him it was the first show where Muse has switched up the set list.

Enjoy!

The glorious pillars.

Laser lights!

Very mesmerizing!

That's Chris, the bass player, up on the pillars!

Very Tron-like!

Set list, non-stop awesomeness.

And so ends 10 months of Muse shows. I promise not to talk about them for a little while, give ya'll a break until they tour the U.S. again. If I had my druthers I'd have seen a few more shows but I was happy to have seen 3 very different shows: one in a small venue, one in a large venue with great seat and the last in another large venue but on the floor.

Love Muse? Hate Muse? Either way, I welcome your comments!
