I love this kind of statistical excercise. Like many of you I keep a list of every song I've seen live and how many times. So I used the list in the first post to deduce what I have yet to see. I've been to 16 shows. So..............which of these should I have seen based on that many shows? Just wondering what I had high odds to see and haven't yet....

1/2 Full
All Or None
All Those Yesterdays
Alone
Around The Bend
Bee Girl
Black Red Yellow
Brother
Bu$hleaguer
Can't Keep
Come Back
Dead Man Walking
Deep
Don't Gimme No Lip
Driftin'
Driven To Tears
Education
Evacuation
Fatal
Force of Nature
Get Right
Ghost
Hard To Imagine
Help Help
I'm Open
Love Reign O'er Me
Nothingman
Oceans
Of The Girl
Pilate
Rival
Sad
Sleight Of Hand
Speed of Sound
Throw Your Hatred Down
U
Undone
W.M.A.

I've seen the same number of shows as you and the ones on your list I have yet to see are: Bee Girl, Black Red Yellow, Brother, Bushleaguer, Deep, Driftin', Driven to Tears, Education, Evacuation, Get Right, Ghost, Help Help, Pilate, Rival, Speed of Sound, Throw your Hatred Down, Undone, WMA.

I also have not seen Rats, Leash, Tremor Christ, In My Tree, Habit, Mankind, No Way, Big Wave, Supersonic, and All Night.

At least I've seen Hunger Strike

Here are top 5 in terms of frequency:

Song Times Played
corduroy 14
even flow 13
do the evolution 12
daughter 11
given to fly 11

CJMST3K

Unfortunately, I forget most of what I've seen. Good thing I can always look them up!

Add Jazz Odyssey to the list too.

I'll try to keep this updated throughout the night.

If they wanted to play every song on this list (COVERS EXCLUDED), they'd have to play 108 unique songs over the next three nights.

I just don't see that happening, but man do I hope I'm wrong.

[edited... change 110 to 108... removed Pry To and Arc)

Actually it's almost quite realistic when you factor that it's only 36 songs each night that they would have to play.

On the other hand, do they remember how to play every single one of those songs is the real question. If they end up playing their "full" catalog I will definitely be picking up all 4 boots just like I did with Mansfield back in '03 because to me that is what would make this 4 show run "unique".

updates rolling in!

Ed's a jokester. I wouldn't take that comment seriously.

High Fidelity 2000

Color coordinated too! You rock!

I can't believe they only played TWO off Ten... No Evenflow and No Alive for the second show of the tour. Those people in Philly are so lucky!

Too beautiful a thread not to sit up top.

I didn't copy one stinkin' character of your post. I copied the tracks from the PJ web site and then edited out the fluff like Pry To, etc. If I had seen your post, I wouldn't have gone to all this trouble.

Relax.

actually he said again tonight that he wants to clarify - they're not going to play every song they know, but every song on their albums. the 2am thing sounded like a joking tone but seemed pretty dead serious tonight!

dimitrispearljam

they will do it..play almost all the songs..

jimbojones1138

hm...5 or 6 openers amongst the last two days...oceans, release, long road, sometimes...of the girl, can't keep...har to imagine... wash

what d'you think guys... will all of these get played?

only 5 are on the albums...the others are bside openers or lost dog openers of the past

alesek

Although this isnt normal to say regarding with PJ setlists but with all the stats and the colours its getting quite obvious and predictable what to expect on Saturday

Man! This is unbelievable...

4 bootlegs is a MUST HAVE!

goldrush

They tagged Little Wing onto Yellow Ledbetter last night, they probably won't play it again so does that warrant a change of colour?

Anyone else think they'll close night 4 with Alive? My vote would have gone to RITFW with everyone on stage but they played that on night 1...

Kloddz

If this is true, it means there's lots of No Code and Lost Dogs to come during the 2 upcoming nights... :shock:

No, they will close night 4 with Bugs! :twisted:

thebetterman

i think you have to include Bugs in your list.... just saying.

In the parking lot yesterday my husband, who likes to claim that we all are just a little bit nutty with our PJ obsessions, pulled out a sheet of paper, wrote down all of the band's songs, and started checking off what already had been performed. Since he was sure that they would not play songs like "Push Me, Pull Me," I will need to check in with him today and see if his predictions have changed.

Our current prediction, though, is that PJ will close Friday night with "Baba O'Riley," and Saturday night with a reverse Mamasan trilogy. We expected a slower opener last night, but after "Animal" who knows what to expect. I am guessing Saturday will open with "Last Exit."

Whether they actually play every song or not, many great songs remain to be played -- cannot wait.

gusturtle

for shows three and four, they still have 59 songs to cover in order to have played all songs from their 9 Studio albums. That means 29.5 songs per night. This could easily be accomplished.

But if they're planning on playing all the b-sides & covers from the list on Page 1 of this thread, that brings the total to 88 songs left to play, or 44 per night. This is definitely the more ambitious goal, but could also be accomplished, & Ed will need some serious "throat-coat", along with the rest of the band receiving caffeine IV's throughout, in order to pull it off.

Gern Blansten

it's amazing to look at the unplayed tunes....that's gonna be some kick ass shit

lots of no code tunes left

BraceYourSelf

Do you think Man of the Hour will be played? I love that song, but it is not on an album..with the exception of the greatest hits CD. So far Philly I & II have been a blast.

Gern Blansten

definitely....they played that recently so I'd be surprised if it didn't show up

soop

I dunno... I'm starting to lose faith... There are just too many unrehearsed rarities to be played in just two nights:
Help Help
Can't Keep
Get Right
Cropduster
All Or None
Oceans
Habit
Pilate
Thin Air

plus all the other semi-rare stuff like Of The Girl, Love Boat Captain, Light Years, Smile, Tremor Christ, etc

I just dunno.

"Unplayed at live shows in recent years."
Is that more acceptable to you?
