== The Resistance Tour ==  
== Analysis and Explanation ==
The band spent months trying to get MK Ultra to sound right when played live. In the end it was decided to perform the song half a step down, and add vocals after the line "and they're breaking through". This is why it made its live debut quite late into 2009. MK Ultra often had additional riffs after the song. Though performed commonly after its debut until the beginning of the 2010 tour, MK Ultra was seen sporadically at best throughout 2010.


MK Ultra made no appearances on The 2nd Law or the Drones tours. It was more than likely the difficulty of performing MK Ultra that led to it being removed from setlists. Fans still hope to see it performed again, being one of the least-played songs on the album. In a poll of 500 fans conducted in November 2015, out of a total thirty songs that had not been played since The Resistance era, fans voted MK Ultra as the fourth most requested song to make a return to setlists.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20151126224641/http://strawpoll.me/6086378/r]</ref>

This page contains a list of all known performances of MK Ultra.

Analysis and Explanation

The band spent months trying to get MK Ultra to sound right when played live. In the end it was decided to perform the song half a step down, and add vocals after the line "and they're breaking through". This is why it made its live debut quite late into 2009. MK Ultra often had additional riffs after the song. Though performed commonly after its debut until the beginning of the 2010 tour, MK Ultra was seen sporadically at best throughout 2010.

MK Ultra made no appearances on The 2nd Law or the Drones tours. It was more than likely the difficulty of performing MK Ultra that led to it being removed from setlists. Fans still hope to see it performed again, being one of the least-played songs on the album. In a poll of 500 fans conducted in November 2015, out of a total thirty songs that had not been played since The Resistance era, fans voted MK Ultra as the fourth most requested song to make a return to setlists.[1]
