oh I totally and wholeheartedly agree. When I saw this for the first time, I was amazed. This really is one of the best live performances there is.

It's absolutely terrible that I associate songs with Guitar Hero III rather than the actual band.

I'm not sure if it's so much the best live performance I've ever seen so much as one of the best-produced live performance /videos/ I've ever seen. Overall, I've been at many concerts with a better vibe between the audience and the stage, and if you want to see really awesome stage design there's hands-down no competition to the Pink Floyd concerts back in the day (go find a copy of and watch Pulse). On the other hand, in the Muse video the Technocrane work was without peer, the post-processing and color grading (the "look" of the colors) was excellent, and the stage superbly lit and designed for video.
