Analysis and Explanation

Played live entirely from tape, Drones made it's live debut in November 2015 at the start of the main Drones World Tour and instantly become a live tour staple. The song was played twice at every gig of the tour (aside from three occasions when it was played only once); once at the start of the show as an intro to Psycho, and again straight after The Globalist as seen on the album.

Following the end of the main Drones World Tour arena leg in June 2016, Drones was only played once per show in its traditional place of after The Globalist. It continued to be played at most gigs in 2017 again after The Globalist, and during the 2017 performances the ending note was looped before leading straight into the following song; Uprising. It hasn't been played since the end of 2017 after The Globalist was dropped, and will probably not be played again unless The Globalist is played again.

* 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.
