This page contains a list of all known performances of Take a Bow.

Analysis and Explanation

Take a Bow was played at many of the gigs during the Black Holes and Revelations tour, leading to a high number of performances. Unlike other non-single songs from the album, Take a Bow was played consistently often during 2006, 2007 and 2008 and skipped only at a few gigs. During The Resistance tour, the song was brought back in 2010 with a few scattered performances during the European tour and rare appearances in October and December. After only three performances in 2011, the song has yet to reappear in setlists, making no appearances during The 2nd Law era. Still, the song was performed more often than any non-single song off of Black Holes and Revelations, and more often than Invincible.

Matt hinted the song would make a reappearance in 2015 by answering a tweet asking whether the song would be played again, which he responded with "Yes". 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 Take a Bow as the sixth most requested song to make a return to setlists.[1] On March 1st, 2016, the song was performed for the first time in five years at the fourth night of the Paris Bercy Arena gigs. It continued to make regular appearances until the end of the Drones World Tour, being dropped for festival gigs alongside Prelude, JFK and Reapers.
