in The Porch
I was recently doing some idle PJ stat tracking - I know it's not for everyone but I'm kinda geeky in that way...  anyway I was concentrating on the PJ songs (not covers) I've yet to see performed myself and decided to take a look at which song has the band played the most yet I've never seen it.

So far in my 47 shows (to date) I'm yet to see:

Sleight of hand (played 51 times)
Cropduster (45)
Bu$hleaguer (32)

I know it took me 25 shows to finally see Garden and so I bet there are some strange anomalies out there.

    16 shows. Not seen

    Dissident (played 206 times)
    Glorified G (142)
    Sometimes (88)
    Tremor Christ (86)

    Strangely I have seen Footsteps (129), which is probably my least favourite popular song, a total of 7 times…. 

    Hope to catch these in 2026 (assuming they play Europe)!

    This is fun...

    Out of my 13 shows, I have yet to see I Got Shit which has been played 158 times.

    I think Pittsburgh will be a great time to pull this one out again. :)

    MFC played 166 times. Really thought it was coming at Fenway when Ed started up Untitled, but 'twas not to be.

    The opening notes of Present Tense following that intro were such a let down.

    WWS for me too with The Fixer as a runner up.

    If you missed some of these songs album tours the numbers really are inflated compared to how many times they get played now.
