Analysis and Explanation

Played live from tape as an intro, on the album it precedes Survival, however it precedes Starlight when played live. It was skipped during The 2nd Law tour before making a surprise debut at the start of the Drones World Tour in November 2015, and continued to be played at every date of the tour until the end of the arena tour in June 2016.

It is unknown why it was not attempted during The 2nd Law tour, making its sudden addition to setlists even more strange. Dom plays the drums and cymbals during this song, unlike other tapes such as Drones and JFK, in which the band do not/rarely play any instruments during. When the Arena Tour was over, Prelude was dropped from setlists instead of being performed at the remaining festival dates that year. In 2017, it made a return for the 3 UK festivals gigs, but it wasn't played outside of those 3 shows.

After making no appearances in 2018, Prelude made another return for the Simulation Theory World Tour in 2019, preceding Starlight at virtually every gig that year.
