Analysis and Explanation

Guiding Light was performed regularly during The Resistance Tour, appearing at most shows in 2009 and around half of the shows during 2010. It also had a few appearances in 2011. It made no appearances in 2012 but returned in mid-2013 during The Unsustainable Stadium Tour and made regular appearances at arena and festival shows afterwards until the end of the year. These performances saw Matt and Chris share guitar duties, while the bass part was played on synths by Morgan, and Dom played his electronic kit. It was dropped at the end of 2013 and hasn't been played since.

The song was reportedly sound-checked at a few early-2016 European gigs but was ultimately not played. However, it was a setlist option at the 2017 Shepherd's Bush Empire by request gig, indicating the band hasn't given up on the song yet.
