Analysis and Explanation
Thought Contagion, as the second single to be released off Simulation Theory, was performed live for the first time in 2018 at the Paris Cigale "by-request" show. It was received surprisingly positively by the crowd, dedicated fans who had traveled for miles to hear the band perform a setlist filled with songs such as Eternally Missed and Space Dementia live.
To no surprise, Thought Contagion was performed at every 2018 show and continued to be played at every gig during the Simulation Theory World Tour in 2019, becoming a live staple. From 2019 onwards, Matt only plays guitar during the intro, bridge, solo and final chorus - leaving the rest of the guitar parts to Morgan/Dan while he walks around on stage encouraging fans to sing along. These performances also featured backing dancers. The song once again returned in 2022 and has made regular appearances.
