Dear soulmates!
Let me also wish you a very happy 𝑰𝑵𝑻𝑬𝑹𝑵𝑨𝑻𝑰𝑶𝑵𝑨𝑳 𝑷𝑳𝑨𝑪𝑬𝑩𝑶 𝑫𝑨𝒀!🤩🎉🥰
Traditionally, on this day, we talk a lot about one of the most iconic songs, 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐈𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐄𝐍𝐃. Super powerful and energetic, it was destined to become a concert anthem and a long-lasting fans’ favourite. And it DID become!!
So, in my today’s post, I’d like to highlight a great 𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒉𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒚 of this exceptional track.

⭐️With 𝟔𝟖𝟔 confirmed performances to date, 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐈𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐄𝐍𝐃 is the third most often played Placebo song. It was included into the setlist EVERY YEAR since 2003 till 2018, excerpt for the year 2008 when Placebo didn’t tour but only played a historic concert at Angkor Wat.

⭐️For the first time, 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐈𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐄𝐍𝐃 was played on 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝟓𝐭𝐡, 𝟐𝟎𝟎𝟑, in 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑳𝒐𝒏𝒅𝒐𝒏 𝑺𝒕𝒖𝒅𝒊𝒐𝒔 at the British TV programme 𝐂𝐃:𝐔𝐊. It was five days before the song was released as the lead single from Placebo’s fourth studio album 𝐒𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐆𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐬.

⭐️And now, let’s go year by year to see how the way of performing 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐈𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐄𝐍𝐃 was changing throughout Placebo’s career.
