Prelude (live)
This page contains a list of all known performances of Prelude.
Analysis and Explanation
It is played as an intro before songs. On the album it precedes Survival, however it precedes Starlight when played live. It was skipped during The 2nd Law tour before making a surprise debut on the last date of the Drones World Tour South American leg.
It has been played live at every gig since the first date of the Drones World Tour North American tour started. It is unknown why it was not attempted during The 2nd Law tour, making its return to setlists even more strange.
