Analysis and Explanation

Forced In was likely first played live sometime in 1998 but probably not for particularly long. Even then, it is only an assumption that Forced In was performed live in this era as it is excluded from all 1997/1998 setlists. Forced In made no known appearances on the Showbiz and Origin of Symmetry tours. A strange, almost-instrumental track, Forced In was likely not high on the list of live candidates. The vocals have never been performed live.

Forced In is the only Showbiz-era song to be debuted after the Showbiz era ended. For the Absolution era, the band would sometimes perform Forced In as an instrumental during some concerts, being performed at most November/December 2003 concerts at the beginning. By the end of March 2004, after being consistently performed at most gigs minus the Australian tour in 2004, the band had stopped performing Forced In. There are no pro shots available of Forced In from the Absolution era, despite it making over thirty appearances.

For the Black Holes and Revelations tour, Muse breathed new life into Forced In by having it act as the intro to Bliss. This meant that the song was done at most 2006 dates, leading to a high performance count. This would be somewhat short-lived, though, as Forced In would be dropped permanently after only nine performances in 2007. Its spot as an instrumental intro is believed to have been replaced by Nishe starting in 2008. Though it has not been performed since 2007, the band apparently have not given up on performing the song as it was a setlist option for the 2017 Shepherds Bush Empire show.
