A miming performance, with live vox.[1] Christopher Wolstenholme and Dominic Howard switched instruments.[1] Originally, the performance was intended by the organisers to have been completely mimed, however Matthew Bellamy managed to persuade the organisers to allow him to sing the vocals live.[1] After tapping on the microphone, the backing track was cut, at which point Bellamy exclaimed "WOOAH!", after which it continued. However, Bellamy decided not to go on. He considered the event to be a farce.[1]

Media

The event was organized and broadcast by BBC Radio 1.[1] An audio and video recording of this show was made by BBC. Even though the video has never shown up (it was probably recorded for the screens on the stage), the audio recording can be found here[registration needed]. An amateur video of part of the performance appeared on the Internet in late September 2008 and can be found here. It is, to date, the only video from the performance that has ever surfaced.

A picture from the show is on the Muscle Museum US CD2 single back cover.
