Knights of Cydonia - Muse Live @ Reading 2011

Muse performing "Knights of Cydonia" off of their album "Black Holes and Revelations".

What a finish! The final song of the entire festival blew everyone away, in fact the whole Muse setlist was beyond incredible, but this was by far the highlight. The stage exploded with colours, pyrotechnics and a great backdrop, the instruments tight and played perfectly, the introduction was epic and the crowd were absolutely insane. Faultless!

You know you're a legend when other human sing your guitar riff

[kitingful]

The intro is a legend. Dominic is a beast. 🔥🔥

[Mind]

i was there... and it was the best night of my life!!

[tg_comics]

Mixing "The man with a harmonica" by Ennio Morricone and Knights of Cydonia is simply astonishing <3 <3 <3

[nerea]

You haven’t lived until you’ve seen Knights of Cydonia live.

2:38 when the galloping music finally starts and the camera pans across the back of the crowd rhythmically beating the air in time before the whole crowd sings an intro that has no words. Class moment in music. Bravo everyone

[RTD]

The precision is amazing. What a band.

I'm frigging seventy effing seven, I have tinnitus and I don't care-- I play Muse CDs and videos almost every day (on the best headphones I could buy). I call them the Dramaband, because that's what the body of their music is; dramatic, operatic. Wonderful! And yes, the Morricone theme - of whom, I'm also a gigantic fan - fits in well.
Please don't disband, guys!

The main guitar riff during the final stretch has become so iconic to me. I'm not the biggest Muse fan by any means, but this song is a masterpiece, and that riff pops up in my head from time to time, even after all this time.

[SheavidBlane]

This absolutely gave me chills.. I’ve known this song since guitar hero era (which is funny to say) but ever since then I’ve always thought this song had such an amazing energy to it…. if we ever go into an apocalyptic war with an extra terrestrial army, I want this playing while humanity fights for the right to survive

[ikerina]

What a word class musical trio. They're so tight together.

[geetraldinha]

Muse deserve a noble prize for this performance alone LMAO! I'm so blessed to get to enjoy their music. I'm so blessed.

[Bababooieism]

not crowd of phones, just thousands of people living in the moment, enjoying it and making a sick memory!

[shanekelley]

This is one of THE greatest ever live performances of all time!

[fredericmaupin]

you can watch and hear this song but you cannot ever feel it until being in the crowd while muse playing it, it was made for big scenes, for singing and jumping crowds, live music is everything.

[Taritelimited]

They are the best band I’ve ever seen. Reading 2017 I saw them. They were absolutely immense 🤝🤝

[Leo-ddom]

I love how he leaves that bass at the end. Epic!

[kelsiedugmore]

I can't believe I'm gonna see these this year. Like I still can't believe it.

[Taritelimited]

Best live performance I’ve ever seen reading 2017. If you haven’t. Go and see muse. They’re incredibly good

[simonilett]

This was EPIC for sure.
