==Live==
"The Day The World Went Away" has been performed live regularly, but infrequently, since the [[Fragility]] tour started in 1999.
When performed live, the second half of the song is extended after the verse and the guitar progression. This extension seems to be modeled after the Quiet mix, but features a tom-driven drum rhythm as well as the guitar doubling the bassline in a higher register. This new section builds in intensity as melodic synthesizers and distorted guitars welcome in the wordless group vocals, eventually becoming more bombastic and louder until ending with two power chords. An example of this altered structure can be found on ''And All That Could Have Been''.
