On live music

Went to see Muse on Tuesday night with my lovely wife in a last blast of fun before becoming parents of 4 (due date around Thanksgiving).  After parking and all, the cost came out well over $100, but damn was it worth it.  I think a band like Muse (which just really rocks) is ideally suited to enjoy live rather than on a CD/mp3.  And there’s definitely something to sharing an experience with thousands of other people who really love the same music.  Songs that I like when normally listening to, I loved performed live.  E.g.,

It also seems wrong to be that Muse can fill Wembley stadium, but only draw <10,000 in the RBC Center whereas I’m sure Justin Bieber can fill the place up.
