This page contains a list of all known performances of Micro Cuts.

Analysis and Explanation

One of the band's best live songs, Micro Cuts was written sometime in the 2000 summer festival tour after Matt began having hallucinations of triangular razors embedding themselves into his skull. It was debuted on 19th October 2000 on the Australian tour, and was played again two days later. Unfortunately, neither one of these performances were recorded (in a sad twist of fate, the gig on 20th October 2000, between the two dates, was recorded). It is unknown what the early version of Micro Cuts would have sounded like, though the two performances from February 2001 provide clues as to what it may have sounded like. This 2000 version was described as having screaming vocals and being very heavy, a description that also meets the final version of the song.

Micro Cuts became the setlist opener for gigs between April and September 2001, with some exceptions that opened with either Showbiz, Uno or Citizen Erased. It was not often that Micro Cuts was played outside of the first four songs, though this would occur rarely (30th May 2001 is a good example). As the gig intro, Micro Cuts was performed at nearly every gig of the Origin of Symmetry tour, only skipping Leeds Festival 2002, MTV Music Awards 2001, and all promotional gigs. Earlier 2001 gigs before the album was released featured a more audible bass. 2002 live versions changed up the chorus guitar, a change that would sometimes reappear in later live performances as well.

For the Absolution tour, Muse decided to keep Micro Cuts around for the occasional concert, making an appearance at about half of the October and November 2003 concerts. After only two performances in December 2003, Micro Cuts was dropped from setlists until the October 2004 American tour which was rarely recorded. Thus, significantly fewer recordings exist of Micro Cuts from 2004. Though Micro Cuts returned again for the 2005 tour, it wouldn't be until May 2007 until it was performed again. The 2007 tour version was much more stripped down and wasn't as heavy nor as aggressive as the version previously performed live. It was performed often enough to have a pro-shot on the 2007 tour, though the song could never be guaranteed to be performed as it was only done at sporadic gigs throughout the rest of the year.

After many years of absence, Micro Cuts was soundchecked at LA Rising in 2011 as a rehearsal for Reading and Leeds Festival, at which Micro Cuts was performed for the first time since 2007. These performances skipped the "I've" in the chorus and simply began with "Seen". At a gig in Montreal 2013, during the 2nd Law roulette game, neither Stockholm Syndrome nor New Born were selected. Matt then walked to the audience to ask what song should be performed, and a fan yelled for Micro Cuts. This same fan videotaped the band then performing it live without a rehearsal for the first time since 2011. Perhaps realizing it was a fan favourite, the band then performed it consistently at most rarity gigs throughout the next few years (Tokyo Zepp 2013, the Psycho Tour as an outro to Stockholm Syndrome, and Montreux Jazz Festival 2016).

It is likely that Micro Cuts will return in the future for random performances at rarity gigs and possibly festival dates as the band seem to like the song almost as much as the fans do. While Matt's vocals are not the same as they used to be, preventing the song from ever returning to regular rotation, it is always nice to see the band break out the song on special occasions. On another interesting note, Micro Cuts is one of only six songs to be performed in every live era by the band (the others being Sunburn, New Born, Bliss, Plug In Baby, and Feeling Good).
