So I went to the MUSE show in Dallas on Sunday 2/24. and here are my thoughts:
Best song live off the new Simulation Theory Album is (hands down) The Dark Side with Algorithm being a close 2nd.
The show itself IS one of the best MUSE shows I have ever attended. The use of live actors / dancers really works as well as the gigantic screen behind the band.
If you want to get a high five from Matt then park yourself in front of the "B stage" that extends out form the main stage.
Worst live song off the new album? Propaganda hands down might be one of the worst MUSE songs I have ever heard. Can not BELIEVE this one made it onto the setlist.
The set list is like 24-25 songs long ...which for any MUSE fan is FANTASTIC.
I still think GA is the way to go (if you don't mind standing).
The most surprising omission form the set list is Something Human. Again..can not believe that Propaganda could get picked by the band over a much better song like Something Human.
Chris needs to spend more time on the B stage that extends out from the main stage...he barely played on it solo (only the opening bars of Hysteria as well as the gospel version of Dig Down).
The use of medleys takes some getting used to. I am surprised they are doing this...but at least you get to hear a tid bit of a song you might not otherwise here at all.
The opening act (Walk the Moon) was okay. I would rate a 6 out of 10.
On a scale of 1 to 10 I would give it an 8. Really good show.
I was at the show in Dallas last night and do not know the answer to your question. HOWEVER, I will tell you that I got there late after the opening act came on and was still able to get pretty close to the stage.
Here is a great review from Houston:

The set list is like 25 songs long (more like a stadium set list!).
One day away!!
Here is the set list from Houston last night:

I would be interested to get thoughts and comments from the Dallas crowd on the Houston set list.
Muse performs ONE song on the Tonight Show in the US (Tuesday 11/13) ...and it had to be Pressure. Why not pick one of the better tunes from the new album?

This makes me worry what the setlist is going to be like for the up and coming tour.
My 5th Muse concert...and this time I will be siting in the stands (vs GA). I turned 50 in May ...so I cam going to sit with the "older crowd" in the stands.
Wow so you enter the presale code and can only buy 234 US dollar GA seats or regular seats for 404 per ticket. None of the other seats are available for presale.
The track Pressure is not horrible just terrible. Or put another way it is not terrible ...just a little horrible.
I do not like here there...I do not like it anywhere.
So I sometimes wonder if Matt (being the true front man who writes all the music, etc) wants to be front and center.
Well, if you watch the video ...you notice that Chris and Dom are nowhere to be found. Just Matt....
