This page contains a list of all known performances of Ruled by Secrecy.

Analysis and Explanation

Ruled by Secrecy was not performed at any 2003 concerts and wasn't performed live until March 2004. Upon its debut, however, it was continually performed at the majority of gigs for the rest of the year. It is believed that Ruled by Secrecy took Endlessly's setlist spot as Endlessly's last performance was the gig before Ruled by Secrecy's debut. The song returned in 2005 for a few shows but wad dropped at the end of the year.

Since 2005, the song has made a handful of appearances but has never been regularly played. After making no appearances in 2006, the song returned in late 2007 for the Australian leg of the Black Holes and Revelations Tour and made a handful of appearances. It returned again for a few gigs during The Resistance Tour in 2010 and made one appearance in 2012, but for whatever reason it wasn't played again during The 2nd Law Tour. The 2012 performance is well-known for Matt belting the chorus vocals as he did on the album, which he rarely does live.

The song hasn't been played since 2012 and it doesn't look too likely that it will return anytime soon. However, it was a setlist option at the 2017 Shepherd's Bush Empire by request gig, indicating that band have't given up on the set yet.
