Analysis and Explanation

Butterflies & Hurricanes was performed incredibly often during the Absolution and Black Holes & Revelations tours, though it originally debuted in the form of a piano jam in a 2000 soundcheck. Matt began to work on the piano solo well before the song itself was written, soundchecking it at various 2001 shows before occasionally performing it live as an intro to Screenager on the 2002 tour.

The song made its debut in full at the second show of the Absolution tour in Amsterdam. After this, Butterflies & Hurricanes made an appearance at nearly every show of the Absolution tour. Starting with Glastonbury Festival 2004, a short jam was performed before the song, known today as the "Glastonbury Jam". This short instrumental has never been adapted into a song and has been regularly played as an intro to the song since then, though not at every gig.

The song continued to be regularly played during the Black Holes and Revelations Tour from 2006-2008, but since then the song has not been regularly played. It made very few appearances during The Resistance Tour and The 2nd Law Tour, making only a handful appearances during each tour and made no appearances at all in 2012 and 2015.

The song returned again for a few performances in 2016, and after it was voted for at the 2017 Shepherds Bush Empire by request concert, the band added the song into rotation for the rest of the year. Butterflies & Hurricanes was then listed as a setlist option for the 2018 Paris Cigale by-request show, though fans voted to hear Citizen Erased instead. It would take until September 2023 for the song to make another appearance when it was played in Dublin, later making two more appearances before the end of the year. These performances were done to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Absolution.
