Analysis and Explanation

While never being played live in full, the riff has been used as an outro to several songs over the years, mainly Showbiz and Stockholm Syndrome. The riff likely made its first live appearance sometime in 1996 as the outro of Crazy Days.

While the song will continue to make occasional appearances, it remains unknown if it will ever be attempted in full with vocals from Matt.
