We went to the Muse concert a week ago in Salt Lake City. It was fantastic! The venue was bigger than the one a couple years ago in Orem and there was hardly an empty seat (in fact it is still a mystery as to how people were stuck sitting behind the stage at the E-Center; how much did those seats cost?). We, on the other hand, had excellent seats.

The opening band was Silversun Pickups, who I hadn't heard of until Muse started touring. Turns out the radio plays a couple of their songs, which were the best ones they performed at the very end of their allotted time (which was way too much allotted time in my opinion). The rest of their songs just sounded the same and the band didn't exhibit much of a stage presence. We chuckled when the lead singer, trying to pander to the crowd, calling us "insane". Don't know what he had been smoking but the general admission crowd was just standing around and those of us with seats were just...well, sitting. Yup. Insane, alright.

And for those who are wondering: apparently so long as you don't have any complications, you can go to a rock concert at 8 months of pregnancy and not go into labor. In fact, the only time Baby moved was when I was sitting down.

Here are some pictures that Rusty took with his cell phone. Hopefully, the next time Muse comes to your neighborhood you can take advantage of this highly recommended show.
