The oldest videos (thus far) of Muse playing live have emerged on Youtube.
This is them, aged 16, playing at a Battle of the Bands contest in Torquay on Saturday 26th of November 1994.
This isn’t the battle of the bands that they won, but it’s a bit of historic Muse you should all watch!
And in part 2, a long-haired (and topless?) Dom does a drum solo! Rock ‘n’ roll!
I suppose this website is like busses….you wait for ages and then two videos come along at once!
This time it’s STARLIGHT!!
This is the second of two videos in which the drums were all mic’d up and recorded in a recording studio (cheers Simeon). The cameras were all Panasonic Mini DV cameras and the whole thing was edited in Avid.
This video also includes a step-by-step tutorial on how to play the song!
(The Space Dementia video was meant to have one - hence the “welcome to part two” bit - but recording issues meant it never happened)
Again, the video has been uploaded to the superior video site, Vimeo as YouTube made it all out of sync and low quality!
But it is also uploaded to YouTube for those who haven’t yet made the leap from YouTube to Vimeo to comment on. Click HERE
