Crying Shame was not performed live very often. After being performed at Earls Court on December 19 2004, the song would make a return for just under half of the gigs in April 2005. The band took a rest from playing it after April, skipping it for the seven remaining gigs after the 28th. While Assassin and Exo-Politics were skipped very rarely during this time, Crying Shame was never guaranteed to be performed. It is unknown why the band chose to play Crying Shame at only a few of the 2005 gigs, perhaps they were already aware that the song would likely not make the final cut for the album. The only performances of the song are early performances that are very different to the final release including a vastly changed guitar riff.
Crying Shame has rarely been played live. After making it's live debut in December 2004, the song would returned the following year for other nine performances - all of which fell in April. The song was subsequently dropped after this and has made no appearances since. The version that was performed live was notably different to the studio version that was released in 2006 as a b-side to Supermassive Black Hole - namely it featured slower tempo and vastly different main guitar riff. Due to the song being dropped from setlists prior to this, the finished studio version has never been performed live.  


The likelihood of Crying Shame being played live again is limited due to its status as a b-side. Few songs from the Black Holes and Revelations era are played live today, further limiting the possibility of a return. 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 Crying Shame as the 22nd most requested song to make a return to setlists.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20151126224641/http://strawpoll.me/6086378/r]</ref>
The likelihood of Crying Shame being played live again looks very low due to it's status as a b-side. The song was also not listed as an option at the [[London Shepherds Bush_Empire 2017 (gig)|2017 Shepherd's Bush Empire]] by request gig, suggesting the band has no intention of playing it live again.

Analysis and Explanation

Crying Shame has rarely been played live. After making it's live debut in December 2004, the song would returned the following year for other nine performances - all of which fell in April. The song was subsequently dropped after this and has made no appearances since. The version that was performed live was notably different to the studio version that was released in 2006 as a b-side to Supermassive Black Hole - namely it featured slower tempo and vastly different main guitar riff. Due to the song being dropped from setlists prior to this, the finished studio version has never been performed live.

The likelihood of Crying Shame being played live again looks very low due to it's status as a b-side. The song was also not listed as an option at the 2017 Shepherd's Bush Empire by request gig, suggesting the band has no intention of playing it live again.
