==Stage Set-Up==
Examples include:
*"[[Satellite]]"," "[[In Two]]"," "[[Into The Void (song)|Into The Void]]"," and/or "[[I Would For You]]" included or replacing songs between "Find My Way" and "Survivalism"."*"[[In This Twilight]]"," "[[The Day The World Went Away (song)|The Day The World Went Away]]"," "[[I'm Afraid Of Americans]]"," or "[[All The Love In The World]]" sometimes appearing as part of the encore.*"[[Burn (song)|Burn]]" sometimes being included after "Wish" and once before "Survivalism"."
*"[[Echoplex]]" sometimes appearing as part of the encore during the first half of the tour and sparingly earlier in the set thereafter.
*"[[Only (song)|Only]]" being included between "Wish" and "The Hand That Feeds"."*For shows that could not bring in the full production, the trio of "Running"," "A Warm Place"," and "Somewhat Damaged" was typically replaced with "I'm Afraid Of Americans"," followed by "Burn" or "Only"."*The two Florida shows had encores with a guest appearance from Gary Numan on "Reptile"," followed by a performance of Numan's "[[We Take Mystery (To Bed)]]"."
Two shows, the ''Austin City Limits'' taping and the second Las Vegas show, featured a re-structured set, opening with "All Time Low" instead of "Copy Of A" and featuring other minor song order tweaks. The performance on ''Jimmy Kimmel Live!'' was a five song 'mini-concert' and acted as a sort of sampler for the Tension tour and new album. For this reason, "All Time Low" and "Came Back Haunted" are the only two songs that were technically played at every show.
