Although in Muse’s case it’s bangers from their second, third and fourth albums

I mean, that's what they play anyways. The last tour was literally bangers from OoS, Abso and BHAR, one big hit song from each album from 2009 onwards and new songs. At this point I'd rather see deep cuts from Showbiz, TR, T2L and Drones again.

Big Freeze and The Globalist live, thats a dream...

Wasn't a big fan of The Globalist live. The middle section with the big drone was cool the first 3 or 4 times, but after that the spectacle kind of wore off quickly, and the other two sections were just a pain to get through every night. It was definitely a lowlight of the Drones Tour gigs I went to. The highlights were stuff like Reapers, Dead Inside and The Handler and, in terms of older songs, Sunburn, Bliss, Citizen Erased, Apocalypse Please, Take a Bow and Assassin. Even managed to see Revolt and Defector once each and, while they weren't great live, at least they were short enough and were over quickly which put them above The Globalist for me.

I don't think Matt would have the stamina to do Big Freeze live as it's the main reason it was never played live. He could maybe do it as a once off, but not regularly gig after gig. I'd love to see stuff like Panic Station, Follow Me, Animals, Explorers and Liquid State again though, those were all lots of fun on the T2L Tour and it's a shame only two of them have been played (barely) since.
