Analysis and Explanation

Debuted live before its eventual release as a b-side in 2001, Shrinking Universe was performed live towards the end of the Showbiz tour where they began to introduce new material to their sets such as Hyper Music and Micro Cuts. The song is believed to have been performed thirteen times between October and November 2000, though only eight performances have been confirmed today with the remaining five being unconfirmed. With the exception of two Japanese gigs and Livid Festival, Shrinking Universe is believed to have been played at every date in October and November 2000.

Shrinking Universe has not been played live since 2000, most likely due to the song not making the final cut of the album (the band only performed three b-sides - Agitated, Can't Take My Eyes Off You, and Minimum - during the Origin of Symmetry tour), and due to the difficult vocals. It was also not listed as an option at the 2017 Shepherd's Bush Empire by-request show, indicating the song will likely not be played live again.
