Analysis and Explanation

Debuted as "Dark Skies" and "Dark Shines" varying depending on the date, Darkshines was performed very often throughout May and early June 2000. Despite this, after Glastonbury Festival 2000, the band decided to stop performing Darkshines for the time being. It's entirely possible they thought they needed to rework the song's composition to make it a better song, or they were just tired of performing the song already (this is the less likely scenario). There are quite a few early Darkshines performances thankfully, with the majority of performances being audio recorded.

The band held back on performing Darkshines throughout the April/May 2001 Origin of Symmetry tour and only brought it out for a handful of summer festival dates. It wouldn't be until October 2001 when Darkshines was given a regular spot in the setlists for the first time since early June 2000. This would be short-lived, though, as after 2001 it was dropped permanently from setlists.

It would take 10 years for the song to reappear, appearing in 2011 at the Reading & Leeds Festival gigs where Origin of Symmetry was played in full to celebrate the album's 10th anniversary. These performances were played half a step down and skipped the first guitar solo. It hasn't been since then and it looks highly unlikely that it will be played again. However it was a setlist option for the 2017 Shepherd's Bush Empire by-request show, indicating the band haven't given up on it yet.
