== Analysis and Explanation ==
Do We Need This is one of the most played b-sides from the Showbiz era, believed to have been performed over fifty times live over the course of 1997 to 2000. Possibly originating in late 1996, the earliest setlist from 1997 includes this song. Despite this, the next known appearance of Do We Need This took place in April 1999. It is very likely that Do We Need This was done somewhat often during 1997 and 1998, however as of right now, it is unknown exactly how often or when it was performed during this time period.
Do We Need This was performed live very often in 1999. As a rough estimate, including gigs where the song was believed to have been performed, Do We Need This was performed over forty times live in 1999 alone, of which we know of 17 performances from 1999. This is largely due to the band's appreciation of the song, with Matt once citing it as the band's best song. By August 1999, however, the band were beginning to sour on the song, and after August 1999 it was believed to have been performed only five times. There is always the possibility that the song was performed more often during this time period, but there are no setlists available to back up this claim.
Why the song was done so often comes down to the fact that the band had high hopes for the song, and that in 1999 the band hadn't developed a large number of songs to perform live and thus were stuck using b-sides to perform live. Unlike most b-sides there is one pro shot available of Do We Need This, likely to be the only in existence.

Analysis and Explanation

Do We Need This is one of the most played b-sides from the Showbiz era, believed to have been performed over fifty times live over the course of 1997 to 2000. Possibly originating in late 1996, the earliest setlist from 1997 includes this song. Despite this, the next known appearance of Do We Need This took place in April 1999. It is very likely that Do We Need This was done somewhat often during 1997 and 1998, however as of right now, it is unknown exactly how often or when it was performed during this time period.

Do We Need This was performed live very often in 1999. As a rough estimate, including gigs where the song was believed to have been performed, Do We Need This was performed over forty times live in 1999 alone, of which we know of 17 performances from 1999. This is largely due to the band's appreciation of the song, with Matt once citing it as the band's best song. By August 1999, however, the band were beginning to sour on the song, and after August 1999 it was believed to have been performed only five times. There is always the possibility that the song was performed more often during this time period, but there are no setlists available to back up this claim.

Why the song was done so often comes down to the fact that the band had high hopes for the song, and that in 1999 the band hadn't developed a large number of songs to perform live and thus were stuck using b-sides to perform live. Unlike most b-sides there is one pro shot available of Do We Need This, likely to be the only in existence.
