Drill Sergeant (live)
This page contains a list of all known performances of Drill Sergeant, the intro of Psycho.
Analysis and Explanation
Drill Sergeant was performed solely as the intro to Psycho, just as it did on the album. The band played no instruments during this song and it was merely played by a tape. It was not used at all gigs, however, and has rarely been used since the beginning of the North American leg of the Drones World Tour, only played now when the drones aren't working by a technical error or if Reapers starts the show. The crowd loves to chant "aye sir" during this brief snippet of an intro, but apart from this, there is no point in viewing the majority of the performances of Drill Sergeant as, if you've seen one, you've technically seen them all.
Since the 360 Tour has ended, Drill Sergeant is now used to open festival concerts once again.

* JFK was played at a small amount of gigs in 2007 as intro music.
** Drones was played twice at every performance from its debut with three exceptions as of the last update. The actual total of gigs is highly inflated in comparison with other songs as a result. It has not been performed twice at festival dates, however, since the end of the 360 Tour in 2016.
