== Analysis and Explanation ==
== 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 throughout the year at the majority of gigs. The vast majority of Ruled by Secrecy performances took place in 2004; so few performances outside of 2004 exist that only two post-2004 pro-shots have surfaced. 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. Unfortunately, there are not many recordings of Ruled by Secrecy because most of its performances were at American gigs, of which very few were recorded.
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 throughout the year at the majority of gigs. 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.  


Returning for 2005, Ruled by Secrecy holds the unfortunate distinction of having no available 2005 performances. The only gigs recorded on the tour took place between 21 April 2005 and 30 April 2005, where Ruled by Secrecy was performed at no gigs (being performed often both before and after this time). Though not performed in 2006 or throughout most of 2007, Ruled by Secrecy would return for the Australian tour for a handful of dates. It would again resurface for a small amount of 2010 gigs and again at one gig in 2012. The 2012 performance is well-known for Matt belting the chorus vocals as he did on the album, which rarely took place live. Sadly, this has been the last performance of the song to date.
The song returned in 2005 for a few shows and though not performed in 2006, Ruled by Secrecy would return for the Australian tour in 2007 for a handful of dates. It returned again for a few gigs in 2010 and again at one gig in 2012, but for whatever reason it wasn't played again. The 2012 performance is well-known for Matt belting the chorus vocals as he did on the album, which rarely took place live.


Up until the Drones era, Ruled by Secrecy had appeared on every tour since the Absolution tour. It is likely that it will be performed live again, however with the small amount of piano songs on the Drones tour, it is likely that Ruled by Secrecy may not return until another album era.
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 [[London Shepherds Bush_Empire 2017 (gig)|2017 Shepherd's Bush Empire]] by request gig, indicating that band have't given up on the set yet.

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 throughout the year at the majority of gigs. 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 and though not performed in 2006, Ruled by Secrecy would return for the Australian tour in 2007 for a handful of dates. It returned again for a few gigs in 2010 and again at one gig in 2012, but for whatever reason it wasn't played again. The 2012 performance is well-known for Matt belting the chorus vocals as he did on the album, which rarely took place 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.
