== Analysis and Explanation ==
== Analysis and Explanation ==
[soon]
 
Sing for Absolution was commonly played during the Absolution Tour in 2003 and 2004, appearing at more than half of the shows before being dropped at the end of the year, making no appearances in 2005. Performances during the Absolution Tour had Matt playing the piano part of the song on guitar.
 
The song returned 3 years later during the Black Holes & Revelations Tour in 2007 and made occasional appearances until the end of the year before being dropped again afterwards. Performances from here onwards featured touring member Morgan Nicholls playing the piano part as well as providing additional synths during the chorus, thus performances sounded more akin to the album version. It was also played half a step down.
 
It would finally reappear at the [[London Shepherds Bush_Empire 2017 (gig)|2017 Shepherd's Bush Empire]] by-request gig, 10 years after its last performance. Matt stated that he was "surprise(d)" that the song made the top 10. It also made the Top 10 of the votes for the [[Paris Cigale 2018 (gig)|2018 La Cigale]] by-request gig but for unknown reasons it wasn't played. It looks unlikely the song will be played again anytime soon unless requested.

This page contains a list of all known performances of Sing for Absolution.

Analysis and Explanation

Sing for Absolution was commonly played during the Absolution Tour in 2003 and 2004, appearing at more than half of the shows before being dropped at the end of the year, making no appearances in 2005. Performances during the Absolution Tour had Matt playing the piano part of the song on guitar.

The song returned 3 years later during the Black Holes & Revelations Tour in 2007 and made occasional appearances until the end of the year before being dropped again afterwards. Performances from here onwards featured touring member Morgan Nicholls playing the piano part as well as providing additional synths during the chorus, thus performances sounded more akin to the album version. It was also played half a step down.

It would finally reappear at the 2017 Shepherd's Bush Empire by-request gig, 10 years after its last performance. Matt stated that he was "surprise(d)" that the song made the top 10. It also made the Top 10 of the votes for the 2018 La Cigale by-request gig but for unknown reasons it wasn't played. It looks unlikely the song will be played again anytime soon unless requested.
