36 shows...still no NAIS

another tough one, only 22 times 2006 onwards.

Wow, that is also my most unheard through 31 shows but seeing that stat shows you how incredibly rare it is now. I started going to shows in 2009 and a lot of the songs I heard that tour are rarely played now.

We still get fairly varied sets, but I think it's a lot less now than it used to be. One or two "rare" songs per night seem to be all.

15 of the 22 times in North America as well, which gets a bit to the luck factor. I am not saying this to be a dick, it is just luck of the draw, I have caught it 4 of the last 11 times it was played.  And I am not an "every show guy", been to my fair share, but sometimes the way the setlist fall is random.  The only time I felt very good odds of getting it was Missoula last summer given Missoula is often going to have a good handful of Jeff tunes on the set.

In the course of their touring, 1 or 2 rarer songs per night is actually pretty pretty good. In hindsight some older sets look full of rarities because time has made them rarities. They have actually done a really good job given their slavish deference to Ten post covid in dropping some nuggets almost every night, some certainly loom more rare than others, but basically every night this last run got at least 2-3 lesser played songs per night (not including Dark Matter songs and covers) it sort of all depends on your personal stats and what you are chasing.

these are selections that have a rarity score above 80 from Livefootsteps.org 

4.24 - Oceans (102nd) Amongst the Waves (56th) Leatherman (67th) - technically Down should be in here too, but it is crazy that it is has been played as much as Oceans. Footsteps technically too given when it was debuted to today it scores an 86 this one pops up again on 5.16
4.26 - Of the Girl (57th) Faithfull (106th)
4.29 - Can't Keep (28th) In Hiding (100th) Inside Job (71st)
5.1 - All Those Yesterdays (25th) Off he Goes (127th) Leash (137th)
5.3 - Tremor Christ (87th) Love Boat Captain (100th) Red Mosquito (96th)
5.6 - Lowlight (95th) Brain of J (135th) Green Disease (67th) Come Back (58th)
5.8 - Long Road (99th) this show is the least of the bunch though but a case can be made for Insignificance in that it has only been played 6 times 2014 onward.
5.11 - Light Years (97th) Hold On (6th!) Smile (92nd) Satan's Bed (43rd)
5.13 - Amongst the Waves (57th) Untitled (55th) In My Tree (103rd) Bee Girl (27th)
5.16 - Sleight of Hand (52nd) Grievance (while not an 80 rarity score, was "In Hiding" for 123 shows since 8.5.15) Man of the Hour (54th) as noted footsteps technically and also another appearance by Lowlight
5.18 - This show really only has Future Days as a bust out at 18th time played, but at rarity score above 80 you do have Garden which I over looked earlier and Nothingman and Deep also overlooked earlier and Faithfull for 2nd time this run.  Plus the Hungerstrike etc 

If you have not checked out Livefootsteps.org highly recommend Dave's work.  It is a treasure trove of information and we are lucky he was crazy enough to do this for stat nerds.

I've only had 11 shows, but for me it's Release.

I miss it every time...yet have seen Out of my Mind 2x, Tremor Christ 2x, of the girl 3x m, glorified g 2x and Wash 3x 

And I was in Chicago in 2018 when they didn't play Release.

12 shows, no Release either..

The first song I ever saw them play live at my very first show was Release. I have only seen it played 4 times total in all the years since.

Good luck hearing Animal, Go, Glorified G, Dissident, Blood, Leash, Rats.  Their best album.  Sold a million units in one week.  And they only play Elderly and Daughter regularly, with Indifference and RVM every once in a while.  How is that possible?  They don’t have to play Ten so much.
