An alternate arrangement was created by Billy and performed live during 2018's [[Shiny and Oh So Bright tour]]. The band played it behind the giant video screen that showcased an animated montage of various references from the band's career before Billy emerged to begin the main set with his solo rendition of [[Disarm]].
