I kinda hope you got a hold of the real thing because I'm really looking forward to the symphony sections. As for Matt going 'down the rock route', Muse like to play it safe most of the time. But when they step out of their comfort zone of distorted guitars and drumfills once in awhile they do a great job.
Anyway I was watching the HAARP DVD, earlier today and wow what an epic show. Seeing it on an HD big screen tv only adds to the experience, the little added parts the band did before or after a song were really nice and had a very Rage Against the Machine quality. Matt did these nice little corny poses and moves but I think it was necessary, when playing in a big place you need to make big movements. You can't be like Liam Gallagher and stand in the same place for 2 hours waggling your inaudible tambourine. One of the highlights was Blackout when 2 giant balloons floated around the stadium with ballerinas dangling below them. Also, I thought it was pretty funny to see assorted circles of people hardcore dancing in the stadium, because when I hear Map of the Problematiqué I instantly wanna dance hardcore style.
