2008 Tour Stats - As Requested

I think this was as good as can be expected for a tour not supporting a new album. Good distribution of each album and B-sides. Hopefully they will continue to tour just to play live without having to wait for a new album.

yeah i think they've done a great job with the setlists this tour, they weren't far off playing every commercially released song! :eek:

having said that, get back in your hole boys! time to write a new album!

Wow. 105 songs. What other band would play 105 diff. songs in a small, 14 date tour. These guys continue to amaze me....

Continuing on with the theme of no two counts exactly matching.... Uh, that has Insignificance listed twice for the 104 total, so 103 w/o Beacon and Pre-Set Opener looks official!

Working on my stats now, but my "Uniqueness" quotient, how many times a song is played on tour, shows Hartford well in the lead. On a scale of 1-14, one being song played once and fourteen being song played at every show, Hartford avg around 4.5! MSG2 is second.

Bonaroo would be like 2nd to last as all those songs appeared other nights, but not quite as bad as Mansfield 1 (Roo had more songs played 2-6 times only). So just one way to look at the boots, cause it's a no brainer to get the Roo!

great stats.. i recall someone did something like this for the 2006 tour (if it was you, thank you as well)... i started keeping track of the songs etc... but ran out of time...

good stuff!!

Thank you!

It was a great tour as far as number of songs played. As for myself I only hartford (28 songs) and mansfield 1 (26 songs including throw your arms pre-set) of which only 7 were repeats between the two nites. Hearing a total of 47 different tunes over 2 nites = what a band!

Cool

So no Alone
And You Are was played once

acutejam · July 2008

So, again, a 1 is a song played once, a 14 is a song played at every show.

The AVG uniqueness factor of the tour:

4.929 Hartford
5.577 Beacon
5.690 MSG 2
5.815 Camden2
5.821 Columbia
5.962 Mansfield 2
5.968 DC
6.000 MSG 1
6.240 Virginia Beach
6.280 WPB
6.500 Camden1
6.565 Tampa
6.640 Mansfield 1
6.885 Bonaroo

Factoring in total songs played plus shows' songs' uniqueness produced:

1 Hartford
2 Beacon
3 MSG 2
4 Columbia
5 Camden2
6 DC
6 Mansfield 2
8 MSG 1
9 Virginia Beach
10 WPB
11 Camden 1
12 Tampa
13 Bonaroo
14 Mansfield 1

Yep, in the AcuteJam Stat Machine, one extra song moves Columbia over Camden2 and Roo over Mansfield1. ... So that just goes to show that pretty much at every show, a majority of each night's songs where played at a minority of the tour stops! This by no means intends to argue that this is the ranking of best shows, simply how many "unique" songs on avg were played at each show, factored with number of songs played. (and yes, it's slightly off kilter because I factored in Beacon late and didn't wanna update everything, Beacon just might knock-off Hartford if I redo this, but I can't buy that boot any ways so... I'm not redo'n it!)

Like I'm NOT gonna buy Roo! RIGHT! But this moved DC an Columbia into my list of serious contenders for immediate purchase!

wpost211 · July 2008

What blows my mind is that those tunes that were only played once were played so well.

Stuff White People Like - Statistics
June 25, 2008 by clander

Statistics
By: David Munoz of Panda Force

White people hate math. If you want to befriend white people, mention “that weird Asian calculus teacher who drew perfect circles” and how much you hated his class (bonus points if you mention how your parents made you get an even worse tutor who was more clueless than you and smelled bad). However, white people are fascinated by “the power of statistics” since the math has already been done for them.

Some magazines, like TIME, have a section in each magazine that has some interesting statistics ($80 trillion: the amount spent by the US in the Iraqi war) followed by absurd, barely related ones (4,317 yards: the distance covered if you were to take all the ammunition shells fired by US soldiers in Iraq since the war started). White people who read TIME will quote these statistics, but even non-TIME reading white people will throw in stats they read in a less-than-credible study. It’s not unusual to hear such things as “I don’t mind this neighborhood since I’m not Republican. 80% of them are anti-minority, you know” or “I don’t think you should let Sally play softball because 70% of softball players are lesbians”.

White people love sounding smarter than their peers and will jump at any chance to use a statistic if it’s applicable to the conversation in any way. The more absurd the statistic, the more clever and original you will seem. Stats can also hide negative feelings. If you meet a white person who wishes went to a school that they refer to as the “Harvard of the (Region where the university they attended is), they may say something like “Good thing I didn’t go to an Ivy since 35% of their graduates reported being unhappy with their lives”. It is considered rude to laugh and you should instead smile or throw in another appropriate statistic if handy.

The only time you should not use a statistic is to ask a white person if they knew “that (random number) % of statistics aren’t true”. You will be seen as being unoriginal, not funny, and will get stared at.

Disclaimer: 100% of these statistics were made up

gozzo5058 · July 2008

very good...thanks!

cd21miller · July 2008

four shows for me, 14 "1's"...not bad.

and that stat thing...wow. while it doesn't prove if it was the best show, it does prove why everyone was so fired up about that show.

including this lucky bastard who was there to take it all in!

cindyl · July 2008

thanks ,amazing effort.listing what played
was wondering what shows to buy boots of to get the most songs, ordered dc and hartford and they have 59 with 9 repeats ,wondering what could be added to get even more .
first post here
drove pgh.to dc to see them at verizon, ,over 50 and rockin still,remember seeing the who and joplin for 5 bucks way back when, music is big part of my life, seen a lot of shows and no one brings it like PJ.dont know what it is ,dont know why ,but love this band

rtwilli4 · July 2008

what an awesome tour. I could see them every night for the rest of my life. i think its my second favorite thing to do besides climbing.

I can't believe they didn't play IN MY TREE though. That's one of my favorite songs. I guess you can't really get a much better version than the one on from the Garden in 03.

As many shows as I didn't see, I had two amazing nights and I know they are gonna play 'til they die. I've been watching them for 10 years and they are better now then they have been since 98. hopefully 10 years from now I'll still be rockin w/ them.
