Spring 2015 setlist stats (updated thru 6/17/15)

[stopgo]

Tour stats so far.  I counted Athens as the first show of the tour.  Will try and keep it updated.  Let me know if there's additional information you want me to track.

Updated through Detroit 6/17/15 (14th show of tour)




Note from night one of Detroit:  'Hopefully' played for first time in tour and first time in 58 MMJ shows (last played 10/1/12).

You are the shit.

[ncjacket]

Thank you, kind sir!

sn: anyone else with me when I say, I wish they would drop wordless and play less frequently? I know its a classic but it might have more appeal if it was a rare..

Yes, I'm with you.  Personally I'd prefer The Way That He Sings or Magheetah or Anytime or Gideon as a nightly song.

Stopgo - Appreciate the spreadsheet goodness here.  Thanks!

[Stevie]

Do you think it would be more useful to omit festival setlists?  I personally see them as "different," but you are the beholder of the spreadsheet so it's up to you.

On Wordless Chorus...

I'm with you guys in that it has definitely lost a little of its luster after so many live renditions, however, in both Athens and Knoxville the crowd's reaction to that song was absolutely through the roof!  Looking back, i think that's pretty much how it goes every time they play it.  People love that song and for good reason.  So while those of us that hit like 3, 4 or 10 shows each tour get a little sick of it, I'm personally okay with that given how happy it makes everyone else. 

[sillyboob]

I say leave the festival setlists in, since the shows are still part of the tour.  Just shorter shows.

[dub82]

Really wish they would work sooner, come closer, death is the easy way, strangulation and same in any language to this tour.

Those are some favorite deep cuts, I don't think I have ever see them played anywhere.

[mahg33ta]

thanks for doing this.  I agree to leave the festival setlists in- they are trying to mix it up a little, even on shorter sets (see boston: war begun)

I find it interesting which "staples" are getting dropped due to the injection of a new album's worth of songs.   I've been keeping a running 'which song hasn't been played yet' list in my head, thinking of "common" songs, not the rare/white whales.   

Seems like Dondante, Holding Onto Black Metal and Smokin From Shooting are the 3 most played songs of the past few years not yet played.

[CHIMMJFAN]

It's crazy Dondante used to be a staple but on their last big tour out of 5 shows I saw they didn't play it once and I have a feeling we may not see it much this tour either. I'm curious if we will see Dondante and Only Memories Remain on the same set list multiple times this tour?

Would love to see Evil Urges, I Needed it Most, The Bear, Come Closer, Just Because I Do, Carried Away incorporated in.

I am going to 5 shows (hoping 21 songs each) Soundcheck (3 to 4 songs) that is 115 songs for this tour. Can't wait to see what selections show up!

You like that last post?  My bad. I'm an idiot. I meant to say I wholeheartedly agree w sillyboob. Wordless is great but twths, magheetah, Anytime and Gideon KILL live. I would also add lay low. Regardless, whatever they play is awesome.

[Angelo]

I wonder what the first cover will be, and when it will be.

[Murph]

I wonder what the first cover will be, and when it will be.

well they did Funny How Time Slips Away already, but I hear ya.  Im anticipating some more covers as well.  I for one really hope I Know You Rider and Brown Eyed Women stick around

[walterfredo]

Love it. Would be cool to add a column for number of shows since last played, but that would probably take a little effort on the rare tunes.

Damn how did I forget that. And what a cover it was right after SE. OK, let me rephrase the question, I wonder what the first planned cover will be and when it will be.

Bump for update through 6/4/15.

They played Sooner during the Pittsburgh soundcheck yesterday, so it could end up working its way back into the main set!

[ajclements004]

Gideon made the encore column last night.

[logan5ive]

Excellent work!
