    Great, great post, Alain. Thanks for the summary stats!

    It is hard to feel bad at all about what they didn't achieve because what they did achieve is so stunning.

    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 – 91 out of 133

    The numbers are even more impressive if you had the following 30 songs not played in Philly but played at least once during this tour (since August 8, 2009)
    - Brain of J
    - Red Mosquito
    - Last kiss
    - Little wing
    - Long road
    - Jazz Odyssey
    - Kick out the Jams
    - Sometimes
    - Comatose
    - Hunger strike
    - Interstellar overdrive
    - Mountain song
    - I believe in miracles
    - Big wave
    - Breakerfall
    - Of the Girl
    - So you want to be a rock and roll star
    - Driven to tears
    - Trow your hatered down
    - Hard to imagine
    - Fuckin’ up
    - Come Back
    - The needle and the damage done
    - Leaving here
    - Sleight of hand
    - Brother
    - Angie
    - You got to hide you love away
    - Soldier of love
    - Sad

    Total number of different songs played during this tour - 133

    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. The segue from Rocky>Animal was quite effective on Night 2.

    soop, once again thanks for this thread....so interesting to read and now se it complete. pj did a STELLAR job, working to please ALL fans. while sure, there were a few tunes i'd have preferred over others - of course! - i was totally, 100%, absolutely pleased, pleased, pleased with the setlists 10.30 and 10.31!!! i could not ask for better nights of music. 8-) great times - well done pj! :thumbup: :clap::mrgreen:

    agreed!
    if there was one *complaint* my husband has had over the years in him seeing live pj, he was/is always of the opinion that they should open with rockers, he dislikes slow openers. too bad he wasn't in philly with me... :lol: hahahaha. but i did let him know and i thought it was great! totally worked!
    Stay with me...

    Looking over the song stats, I noticed that of the songs they didn't play in Philly, they could make one hell of a show....I'd pay good money to see a set list comprised of (and not necessarily in this order):

    Oceans
    Release
    WMA
    Indifference
    Long Road
    Sometimes
    Red Mosquito
    Who You Are
    Brain Of J
    God's Dice
    Thin Air
    Of The Girl
    Sleight Of Hand
    Can't Keep
    Thumbing My Way
    Comatose
    Marker In The Sand
    Comeback
    Man Of The Hour
    Leatherman
    Sad
    Alone
    Leaving Here
    Undone
    Fatal
    Hard To Imagine
    Wash
    Brother
    Fuckin' Up
    I Believe In Miracles

    To me, those songs would make one hell of a set list....even though I've gotten 7 of those songs at the last 2 shows I've been able to attend. It would be an eclectic show sans many hits....but, it'd be awesome as well.

    Night 4 was such a great night, I don't care what anybody says. Night 3 was great too.

    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> :lol: 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?> :lol: But NO complaints from me, as i will NEVER see a 4 run set of shows, like that>EVER!!!

    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.

    What, no love for HITCHHIKER?? This song is not included on the lists of songs not being played.

    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 :)
