Analysis and Explanation
The Small Print was one of the first songs from the Absolution era to be performed live and out of all Absolution-era songs debuted in 2002, The Small Print was performed the most often. The early version, known at the time by the acronym "TSP" or "The Smallprint", had an extended post-verse section, different lyrics, and a different solo. While performed very often in 2002, it was performed significantly less in 2003, only appearing at about half of the tour and was temporarily dropped after the Brighton in December 2003.
It wouldn't be until the February 2004 gig in Tokyo's Bay NK Hall that The Small Print would return to setlists and by which time Chris had taken over partial vocal duty during the chorus. Matt had been noticeably struggling singing the chorus by himself during the early stages of the Absolution Tour. He was audibly more breathless then he was during performances from even just a year prior in 2002. It was performed regularly for the rest 2004, and was played at most gigs in 2005 as well. However, after the conclusion of the Absolution tour in 2005, the song was dropped from the setlists.
The song has made no appearances since the conclusion of the Absolution Tour in 2005 and it looks unlikely it will be played live again anytime soon. It was rumoured that The Small Print and Apocalypse Please were being rehearsed for the Drones Tour in April 2015, and while Apocalypse Please would go on to be played during the tour, The Small Print wasn't played. Despite this, it was as a setlist option at the Shepherds Bush Empire 2017 by-request gig, indicating the band haven't given up on the song yet.
