Hoodoo (live)

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

Analysis and Explanation

Hoodoo was the last song from Black Holes and Revelations to make its live debut, in October 2006. This is likely due to some level of apprehensiveness on Matt's part due to the complicated piano parts. It was played very often from then on in 2006, at 35/40 gigs from that point on. In 2007 it was done very sporadically and no longer predictable in setlists. While played very often during the Asian leg of the tour at the beginning of the year, it did not make any appearances in the My Chemical Romance supporting tour. A few more appearances throughout the year would be made, but the song would not make it out of August 2007, making no appearances in 2008. The song was often preceded by a brief piano piece, specifically a section of the chorus of the song. Finding full video performances of Hoodoo online is especially difficult due to many performances being incomplete and the fact that Youtube redirects "Hoodoo" into "New Born" in some search results (this can be seen when looking up December 2006 performances as an example).

Hoodoo was rumoured to make an appearance at the beginning of the Psycho Tour, however the song has yet to make an appearance since the Black Holes and Revelations tour. In a poll of 500 fans conducted in November 2015, out of a total thirty songs that had not been played since The Resistance era, fans voted Hoodoo as the fourteenth most requested song to make a return to setlists.
