First thanks to Soop and the Relayers for their amazing play by play posts.
I was curious and added some numbers
- total number of songs played during the 4 Philly shows (including repeats) - 131
- average of songs played per Philly show - 32.75
- number of different songs played at the Philly shows - 103
- number of songs played from studio albums (not including Merkinball, Miscellaneous, Lost Dogs, recent common covers) - 83 out of 110
- number of songs played from studio albums and Lost Dogs – 92 out of 133

- Long road
- Jazz Odyssey
- Kick out the Jams

Just a GREAT post ALAIN. I'm glad you did this, as i was trying to figure alot of this out myself. I was NEVER that good at math, unless ther was a $$$$ sign in front of the number> And YES, you are correct, this is why they are the BEST band in the world. What band does this? That would be: NO BAND!!
Not to be nit-picking here, becuase i know you put alot of effort into this, but Little Wing was tagged to YL. Does that count?
And who wouldn't want to see those 29 songs that weren't played, for another show?> But NO complaints from me, as i will NEVER see a 4 run set of shows, like that>EVER!!!
Thanks every one for your comments. I have made a few corrections to my original post.
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

So, does PJ finish the job when they come back to Philly/Camden next time? The setlists would be easy to write!
Only counting the lost dogs that have been played, there are about 50 songs left, that could be split up over 2 nights with the "popular" songs added in. Sounds like you have 2 nights of 30 songs! In the end you have 6 shows that span their entire catalog. Another idea, if they have to cut that list of 50 down, go back to the last Camden shows, and maybe the Wachovia show to figure out which songs have not been played recently in Philly. For example, most of "Pearl Jam", WMA, Who you are, Around the bend, Wash, Hard to Imagine, etc. could be cut out since it was recently played in Philly/Camden.
release, can't keep, of the girl and long road all could've been played as openers before kicking it into gear...this surprised me very much. really though, i can't knock 'em for that. they did a kick ass job at trying:)
i just couldn't imagine a slow opener after blaring the rocky music. think they needed to start these shows with rockers!
Agreed! They needed to keep the energy going! And boy did they ever....
Listening to the soundboard boots brought back memories of this post. It was really fun after each show crossing a song off my list and double checking my list with this post

I'm starting to think I'm the only fan of this lonely, forgotten song.... :(
These lists only shows songs that have been played in the recent past.
That's why things like Out Of My Mind, Bugs, Push Me Pull Me and Sweet Lew weren't on this list either. But they are now
