Heyy, I'm going to Montreal's. I'd say you'd have to arrive at around 12 to guarantee front/centre. But it's FREEZING in Canada atm and it's not going to warm up any time soon so I'm not sure if anyone is really willing to wait in -40C weather.
I saw Muse at the ACC last March, and arrived about 2.5 hours ahead of time. I was pretty far back in the lineup, but once we all got inside I was about 10 "rows" back from the front in the pit area. Great vantage point. I was talking to people at the front of the line who had been there for 7 hours. Perhaps because it's so cold they'll allow us to wait inside? Scotiabank Place allowed this at the Nine Inch Nails concert I went to in November 2008, but I don't know ACC policies for winter shows. Last year for Muse it was pretty warm outside so I could understand why the lineup was outside.
It's wrong of me to hope they don't play Blackout anytime soon, just so I can think that my concert was the only time anyone has heard it live First Linkin Park Concert - Monday 13th December @ Rod Lavor Arena, Melbourne.
So I guess once they work all the bugs out, they'll get into playing it live again... Hey did anyone see Phoenix's post about lots of new music being worked on? It was posted a couple of days ago...
Oh! Sorry They played a good set though, but Blackout is definitely one of my favorites on ATS. I had a good feeling it wasnt going to be on the setlist, because of how much goes into the song...
Blackout is one the most awesome songs , and it was performed very well in Melbourne, They should have played since the beggining of the ATS Tour.
