Analysis and Explanation
Thought Contagion, as the second single to be released off Simulation Theory, was performed live for the first time in 2018 at the Paris Cigale "by-request" show. It was received surprisingly positively by the crowd, dedicated fans who had traveled for miles to hear the band perform a setlist filled with songs such as Eternally Missed and Space Dementia live. Long-time fans and new fans tend to agree that Thought Contagion is a welcome addition to the live repertoire, a notable contrast to the controversial Dig Down, released the year prior.
To no surprise, Thought Contagion was performed at every 2018 show, with the added bonus of the majority of the 2018 shows released online in pro-shot quality. It is believed that Thought Contagion, as the band's highest charting song in years, will continue to hold a strong setlist presence in the upcoming Simulation Theory tour in 2019.

* 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.
