They were "epic." The floor was general admission, which is not standard over here. The kids were actually jumping up and down on queue. Not as many as in Europe, but a sizeable amount worth noting.

I'm a Depeche Mode fan as well. They speak to the part of me that actually loves Synthesizers (which I wanted before turning to Guitar in the 80s.) So Muse answers to a modern version of them (Depeche also consistently uses guitars and drums in the mix and have so since the 90's.) They can be a bit too emo, just as Depeche Mode. They have improved on that though with the shows getting the pacing down. I look forward to the next album and tour.
