Analysis and Explanation

Take a Bow was first played as an instrumental demo during the Absolution Tour with Matt playing the arpeggios of the first half of the song as an interlude between Citizen Erased and various songs. During that period it was labelled as Piano Interlude on the setlists. After it's release, it was played at almost all gigs of the Black Holes And Revelations Tour, skipping only a handful of gigs up until 2008. It was played as either the set opener or set closer. After no appearances in 2009, the song was brought back in 2010, mainly for the summer stadium shows along with a handful of arena appearances in October and December. After only three performances in 2011, the song was dropped from the setlists, making no appearances during The 2nd Law era.

On the 1 March 2016, the song made a surprise appearance for the first time in five years at the fourth night of the Paris Bercy Arena gigs as the first song of the encore. It continued to make regular appearances until the end of the Drones World Tour in mid-June. It returned in 2017 and 2018, making occasional appearances. It was included as part of the setlist during the Simulation Theory World Tour in 2019, though it was played half a step down. During the Simulation Theory Tour performances, Matt sings the first verse while holding a skull - likely representing the simulation war lords that have corrupted society in this reality. Take a Bow has not been played since the end of the Simulation Theory Tour in October 2019, though it's safe to assume that it will return at some point.
