== Analysis and Explanation ==
Played from tape as an intro before songs, JFK is technically the oldest song on Drones. The band played JFK live during most gigs during August and September 2007 as an intro to the concert or the encore, usually before Knights of Cydonia or Take a Bow. This version contained no orchestra or other backing instrumentation and was significantly longer than the Drones version.
The version from Drones made it's debut in June 2015 at the start of the Drones Festival Tour and was used as an intro at almost every gig during 2015 and 2016. While on the album the track is played before Defector, live the song was used as an intro for many different songs. At most of the concerts during the [[Drones Festivals Tour]] during summer 2015 it was played at the start of the encore before Uprising. The song was played at every [[The Drones World Tour 2015/16|Drones World Tour]] show from November 2015 to June 2016, played around two-thirds into the set. It was used as an intro to various different songs. These included; Revolt, Reapers, Stockholm Syndrome, Interlude + Hysteria, Assassin (once) and, much later into the tour, Defector as on the album. The song was dropped from setlists in June 2016. 
The song is mainly played from tape live and thus sounded similar to the album version, though some variation took place. The Drones Festival Tour performances in 2015 differ from the album version, featuring synth like guitar accompaniment from Matt, instead of the distorted guitar notes on the album. During the Drones World Tour however, the album version with the orchestra backing was played live instead; however at some dates it was played with no backing instrumentation at all, similar to 2007. 
JFK made a surprise return in February 2023 for the start of the Will of the People World Tour. The speech was combined with [[Simulation Theory Theme (Matthew Bellamy song)|Simulation Theory Theme]], and was played at the start of the encore as an intro to Kill or Be Killed throughout every show that year.

This page contains a list of all known performances of JFK.

Analysis and Explanation

Played from tape as an intro before songs, JFK is technically the oldest song on Drones. The band played JFK live during most gigs during August and September 2007 as an intro to the concert or the encore, usually before Knights of Cydonia or Take a Bow. This version contained no orchestra or other backing instrumentation and was significantly longer than the Drones version.

The version from Drones made it's debut in June 2015 at the start of the Drones Festival Tour and was used as an intro at almost every gig during 2015 and 2016. While on the album the track is played before Defector, live the song was used as an intro for many different songs. At most of the concerts during the Drones Festivals Tour during summer 2015 it was played at the start of the encore before Uprising. The song was played at every Drones World Tour show from November 2015 to June 2016, played around two-thirds into the set. It was used as an intro to various different songs. These included; Revolt, Reapers, Stockholm Syndrome, Interlude + Hysteria, Assassin (once) and, much later into the tour, Defector as on the album. The song was dropped from setlists in June 2016.

The song is mainly played from tape live and thus sounded similar to the album version, though some variation took place. The Drones Festival Tour performances in 2015 differ from the album version, featuring synth like guitar accompaniment from Matt, instead of the distorted guitar notes on the album. During the Drones World Tour however, the album version with the orchestra backing was played live instead; however at some dates it was played with no backing instrumentation at all, similar to 2007.

JFK made a surprise return in February 2023 for the start of the Will of the People World Tour. The speech was combined with Simulation Theory Theme, and was played at the start of the encore as an intro to Kill or Be Killed throughout every show that year.

* JFK was played at a small amount of gigs in 2007 as intro music.

** Drones was played twice at every performance from its debut with three exceptions as of the last update. The actual total of gigs is highly inflated in comparison with other songs as a result. It has not been performed twice at festival dates, however, since the end of the 360 Tour in 2016.
