Analysis and Explanation
Debuted as "Dark Skies" and "Dark Shines" varying depending on the date, Darkshines was performed very often throughout May and early June 2000. Despite this, after Glastonbury Festival 2000, the band decided to stop performing Darkshines for the time being. It's entirely possible they thought they needed to rework the song's composition to make it a better song, or they had just simply grown tired of performing (this is the less likely scenario). There are quite a few early Darkshines performances thankfully, with the majority of performances being audio recorded.
The band held back on performing Darkshines throughout the April/May 2001 Origin of Symmetry tour and only brought it out for a handful of summer festival dates. It wouldn't be until October 2001 when Darkshines was given a regular spot in the setlists, which continued for the rest of the year until the song was dropped from setlists, making no appearances for the rest of the tour.
It would take 10 years for the song to reappear, appearing in 2011 at the Reading & Leeds Festival gigs where Origin of Symmetry was played in full to celebrate the album's 10th anniversary. These performances were played half a step down and were shortened slightly (first guitar solo was skipped and the second chorus was halved). It hasn't been played since then and it looks highly unlikely that it will be played again. However, it was a setlist option for the 2017 Shepherd's Bush Empire by-request show, indicating the band haven't given up on it yet.
