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.
