A couple years back, when I watched this on tv. My dad came out because he heard the Harmonica and thought I was watching "Once Upon a Time in the West." I said, "No, This is Muse." Then he explained to me where that Harmonica part came from. Needless to say, "Once Upon a Time in the West" is now my favorite movie. Thanks to this concert.
The opening 'Man with the harmonica' is written by Ennio Morricone. It's the theme tune to 'Once Upon a Time in the West' directed by Serge Leone and produced in 1968.
Many of you didn't grow up with the harmonica as an instrument. All I can say is that it is a badass form of music, and you don't know what you are missing.
Now they played the harmonica when I went and saw them in Chicago for the Let it be Christmas event and it may be amazing to hear this with headphones, but live...you become entranced. It's a sensation I'll never forget.
This is incredible, to come up with Knights of Cydonia is beyond incredible, but to come up with this opening as well makes it the most epic song in the world ever. And dont even try to argue with me.
Fantastic!!! This music of Enio Morricone is special! Open this other special music from Muse was a very good idea! Muse gives my respect as one of the best bands of the last years, with Rammstein... but with this clip they goes to another concept for me! Very very nice!!!
I saw a Muse concert on cable & flipped out. GREAT band, wildly eclectic. I can hear influences from prog or art rock to, new wave, alt & straight up metal and classic hard rock. Then I see them play THIS! Freaking ballsy & shows what they're willing to do! Man just a really great band doing an obscure as hell cover. The are the antithesis of mtvified & approved corporate shill dictated cool music! True artists carve their own path! Talk Talk, Joe Jackson, Mak Tub, they're in great company!
I saw this version a few years back, until that point I never knew a harmonica could be made to cry like that. It sent goosebumps all over my skin, I come back periodically to electrify myself again.
Man, I stumbled upon this looking to show someone a clip of "Man with a Harmonica". What is this sorcery that I found? I write often, and when I do, sometimes I play music to reflect the mood of the scene I'm writing. Next time I create an epic fight scene, I'm putting this on, because as soon as they transitioned to Knights of Cydonia, I was pumped up enough to punch through the wall and go cut down the tree in my yard with a butter knife. I think I like this band.
there's pure powerful energy in all their music...and the lead singer must've been in the choir, also I found out 'Follow Me" is a Christian song if you look it up. absolutely beautiful cowboy rock song and I hate country music oh well...
Seen this live at the Etihad gig in 2019 and it blew my mind. I now watch this on an almost daily basis. The intro with just the harmonica has me hooked, then the guitar and drums kick in 😍😍
It's 6:10 AM Sunday 10 January 2009 in Bay City Michigan and I just finished four hours ago my DJ/KJ job and watched the "Muse" for 1st time in my life. What a spectacular event enjoyed the song. What a great medium RUclips has become. Chuck KJ/DJ AA8IY
In reverse for me, I was watching it and my Dad came in for the same reason. I said no it's Muse, they love Ennio Morricone and Spaghetti Westerns. So he unusually gave a modern band some consideration and watched the rest of their set... ...now he listens to Muse regularly in the car. :)
I just jizzed in my pants. Omg. Omg. Omg. I love the man with a harmonica reference, I've been addicted to that song ever since we watched a clip of it in my film class. But now my favorite band covers it!!! And does a damn good job of it. And uses it to lead into my favorite song by them. The world works in mysterious ways.
OMG, I am going to see MUSE live in 10 days time @ Wembley and if they opened Knights of Cydonia with Man with a Harmonica I would die happy! It is truely an absolutely awesome blend of music and they play it SOOOOOOO Amazingly!! :) :) :) :) :)
Maybe the most enigmatic harmonica pieces ever, used to outrageous effect as an intro on one the most over the top indulgent ( in a good way ) rock anthems of the last 20 years (if ever )
@museobsessed17 Having had the good fortune of seeing Muse earlier this month I have to say I was torn between going absolutely mental and standing still staring at this awesome spectacle and listening to these fantastic musicians with my mouth hanging open... Maybe those you think are stone dead are just overwhelmed? Just a thought...
Who? Coldplay played the Man with the Harmonica as an intro back in 2000. Or, do you mean that Muse, used to play the Man with Harmonica as an intro riff on their first shows back in 2000..? I'm confused.
Recuerdo ver este recital en el canal Movie City (ya no existe) gracias a este recital conocí a MUSE también daban la serie de Devil My Cry todos los sábados lindo recuerdo🙂✌️
heard man with a harmonica on the adidas advert and searched for the name of the song for ages. Then I found it and discovered Muse have covered it. EPIC WIN!
Much as I am embarrassed to admit it, I first came across Muse in 2006 with the release of Black Holes and Revelations, especially the the lead single 'Supermassive Blackhole', since then I haven't "put them down", so to speak. A lot of times, when I am writing (since I am an author) I will play Muse very quietly in the background... it helps when the Muse is with you... :)
Muse actually did the 'Man with a Harmonica' intro to Knights of Cydonia @ Wembley on 1oth Sept and I loved it before I heard it Live and now I absolutely adore it!! It honestly gave me Goosebumps and Muse were PHENOMENAL!!!! :) :) :) :)
@lazzawazza93 "Man with the harmonica" is the name of the track he plays. It's not just a reference to the guy playing the harmonica... It was originally composed by Ennio Morriconne for the movie "Once Upon A Time In The West".
@Waltdigity Er, the Harmonica part is originally from the track 'The Man With The Harmonica', composed by Ennio Morricone for Sergio Leone's film Once Upon A Time In The West. Brilliant track, and brilliant film. It's pretty damn epic that Muse have incorporated it into their song.
Just got done seeing this about an hour ago. They ended the night with this song. I knew what it was about 3 notes in and absolutely lost my shit. My favorite movie soundtrack of all time played by my favorite band of all time. Also it sounded infinitely better than this recording...Fucking incredible.
not only is this one of my all time favourite films, its one of my favourite pices of harp music, played my one of my favourite bands and to top it all of i was there on saturday night to watch this,could have pissed myself with joy when chris began to wail this out, dont think hardly anyone in the vacinity under the age of thirty knew what the fuck it was, pure leg.....
Holy Crud, I KNEW I'd heard this tune at the beginning before, but I couldn't place it. Ennio Morricone - Once Upon A Time In the West, I think. I know it was an old western my dad used to watch.
@eileenmelis : I'm sure there'll be a next time. Of course you can always hear the full version of 'Man with the Harmonica' as it was composed by Ennio Morricone (An Italian) as the theme music for a character named 'Harmonica' in the classic Western film titled 'Once Upon A Time In The West'. Charles Bronson played the part of Harmonica. The soundtrack is I'm sure available from HMV or iTunes.
funny, I always loved the movie! Man with the Harmonica is the best movie ever in my opinion.. A half year ago I met a girl which now is my girlfriend who was completly in love with this band called muse! So she showed THIS (by accident) to me!? I was like 'wow..?'
@Levinator16 i noticed too. I think it's because the ppl who made the video took the audio directly from the amps/microphone. in other words, they didn't record the crowd's cheers and singing. which is a shame b/c muse's audiences tend to be very energetic and enhance the songs A LOT. Knights of Cydonia is one of those songs that sound great with the audience singing along.
"Keep your loving brother happy" 😣😡👿👹. This scene still makes my hair stand on end, the sound of that harmonica is felt in my soul.... Only when the blood of many is spilt upon the soil in which he's buried, only then, will we be happy! ☠️🪦💯 You will be avenged, the moment he's set free, i will deliver him to the gates of hell. Godspeed RJ, till we meet again

Excellent spaghetti Western! Henry Fonda, Charles Bronson! They don't make 'em like that anymore!
The ending to that movie is utter class, something sorely lacking from modern cinema. I can't wait for the creatives to get bk in control
Not their best rendition of Knights' but Ennio Morricone harmonica gave me goosebumps!

Wow... That combo of harmonica+guitar+drums was deadly. Experiencing it live was unforgettable for me.

Muse = awsome
Ennio Morricone = unbelievable
Muse & Ennio Morricone = ...no words......
Nice to see, Ennio Morricone's work can still be appreciated by modern musicians!
Your body is gone .. your art will live on for the eternity , RIP Maestro
Many of you didn't grow up with the harmonica as an instrument. All I can say is that it is a badass form of music, and you don't know what you are missing.
Who came here for the sad news? RIP Morricone.
Italic genius the best Italian genius in the world thanks Maestro r.i.p. 🇮🇹❤⭐⭐⭐👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Muse not only plays, they rock too

Yes they are talentfull!!! Awesome group!
I remember walking down town to watch this on the den like it was yesterday, best experience of my life.
lucky bastard
Once Upon a Time in the West :-)
Epic film!
Is there anything these guys can't play?? Bass, guitar, drums,piano,vocals,harmonica! Wow! Awesome band

This harmonica sound is epic. Like old western bang bang but also horrify and dark. I love it
Hands down my all time favourite concert, wish I could relive this day.
Quel dieu de la guitare, merci et respect !

Holy crap, the 2nd solo is so awesome on full blast. Fucks up the sound on your comp and probably your ears too but sounds sooooooo awesome! :D
Love the "Once Upon a Time in the West" theme song on the harp in the beginning!
