Bliss (live)
This page contains a list of all known performances of Bliss.
Analysis and Explanation
Bliss was originally played live in 2000 in the form of a very early keyboard-based song. Bliss would rotate between being played on keyboards and guitar until the end of the year. Though only performed live for less than a month in 2000, Bliss would continue to be worked on over the course of every performance. Acting as the outro to almost every concert of the entire tour, Bliss was never skipped unless it was a promotional gig. It remained a part of nearly every setlist throughout 2003 before finally being skipped at a few dates in 2004. Bliss on the Origin of Symmetry tour could sometimes last up to seven minutes at certain concerts. Between 2004 and 2006 Bliss would remain at most setlists, though the band would sometimes skip the song for extended periods of time. 2006 would be the last year Bliss was routinely performed live at most concerts.
For 2003, the band experimented with Bliss and played a keyboard intro at some early dates. Matt's falsetto during the latter half of the song keep it a fan favourite, and as a result, Bliss has been performed uncommonly every year since 2006, with the exception of 2009.
