Performed somewhat often between 1996 and 1998, Host was dropped from setlists before 1999. A recording from 1997 of this song exists and is to date the only recording of the full song. There are no confirmed appearances of this song during the Showbiz tour though part of the song was soundchecked at the 05/21/2000 concert in Berlin. Most people assumed the band would never consider reviving such an old song.

Host was performed at every non-promotional gig between 10/16/2012 and 11/12/2012 as an intro to Time Is Running Out. Only the first verse of the song was performed (before the "Sick of this space..." part begins, the song ends). It was an interesting throwback from the band. Why the band dug it out or why they ended performing it are unknown, but outside of Western Europe, it's unlikely many people even know Host exists, let alone what it sounds like. It would have been insignificant in places like the United States, where the band broke through at a much later time than in Europe.
However, after an absence of almost 15 years, Host was given a surprise partial revival in 2012 as an intro to Time Is Running Out. Only the first verse of the song was performed (up until the "Sick of this space..." part) before leading straight into TIRO. The song was only played during the European leg, making no further appearances after November 2012 and none at all in 2013.  


With enough fanfare the band could potentially play Host again as a song intro, but Host lacks the large fanbase of other b-sides such as [[Fury (live)|Fury]]. It did not reappear for the Drones Tour, though the band brought Host out [http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5ra9cv_muse-host-bunbury-festival-06-04-2017_music once in 2017 at Bunbury Festival] and one further time later that year as a brief 30-second instrumental intro to Time Is Running Out. There have been doubts that it counts as a full performance as it lacks lyrics, however, vocal work from Matt was still featured, but it may be the closest to a full performance that will occur for quite some time. A further intro performance came in 2018 at the [[Monterrey Parque Fundidora 2018 (gig) | Pa'l Norte Festival]] though Matt simply performed twenty seconds of the song instrumentally.  
It did not reappear for the Drones Tour, though the band brought Host out once in 2017 at Bunbury Festival and one further time later that year as a brief 30-second instrumental intro to Time Is Running Out. Matt sang no during lyrics these appearances but did some improv vocal work so it's still counted as a live appearance.  


The song was briefly played again before [[Time is Running Out (song) | Time is Running Out]] at a handful of dates on the Simulation Theory tour in 2019.  
Since then Host has been occasionally been played, but simply as a 20-second instrumental riff played by Matt, making one appearance in 2018 as well as a handful of dates on the Simulation Theory World Tour in 2019 - all times as an intro to Time is Running Out.

Analysis and Explanation

Performed somewhat often between 1996 and 1998, Host was dropped from setlists before 1999. There are no confirmed appearances of this song during the Showbiz tour though part of the song was soundchecked at the 05/21/2000 concert in Berlin. However the song made no appearances live and was assumed by many to have been officially retired from live shows.

However, after an absence of almost 15 years, Host was given a surprise partial revival in 2012 as an intro to Time Is Running Out. Only the first verse of the song was performed (up until the "Sick of this space..." part) before leading straight into TIRO. The song was only played during the European leg, making no further appearances after November 2012 and none at all in 2013.

It did not reappear for the Drones Tour, though the band brought Host out once in 2017 at Bunbury Festival and one further time later that year as a brief 30-second instrumental intro to Time Is Running Out. Matt sang no during lyrics these appearances but did some improv vocal work so it's still counted as a live appearance.

Since then Host has been occasionally been played, but simply as a 20-second instrumental riff played by Matt, making one appearance in 2018 as well as a handful of dates on the Simulation Theory World Tour in 2019 - all times as an intro to Time is Running Out.
