Deconstructing recent setlists


Recommended Posts

[updated to include Toronto night 1]

 

I do spreadsheets in my day job, so I thought it might be fun to pop recent setlists into the grid and see what comes out. I used setlists from the 10 11 most recent shows, starting with London Troxy and running through Columbus Toronto night 1. The songs that appear on the setlist break into four groups:

 

CORE

These 10 songs have been played, without exception, at every show.

The first six usually kick off the show with minor shuffling of the order.

 

Wilco (the song)

A Shot in the Arm

One Wing

IATTBYH

Bull Black Nova

You Are My Face

Impossible Germany

I'm The Man Who Loves You

Jesus, etc.

You Never Know (sometimes with supporting act)

 

MORE

These six songs have been sprinkled throughout most recent sets. The exception is Dallas [and Toronto night 1], where they skipped At Least That's What You Said and Calif Stars, and the two-night stand in Dublin, where they played four songs on night 1 and the other two on night 2 (gives hope for setlists in Toronto and Chicago).

 

At Least That's What You Said

Handshake Drugs

Can't Stand It

Hate It Here

Walken

California Stars (with supporting act)

 

MIXERS

At any given show, you will probably hear seven or eight songs from the 12 on this list.

 

Deeper Down

Heavy Metal Drummer

Hoodoo Voodoo

I'll Fight

Kingpin

Misunderstood

Monday

Outtasite (Outta Mind)

Sonny Feeling

Spiders (Kidsmoke)

The Late Greats

Theologians

 

RARITIES

This is the list of extra songs that have been sprinkled into recent lists for seasoning. Typically there have been 3-5 off this list at any show. (Note that Far Far Away was on the setlist at Iowa but wasn't played. I expect it will reappear soon.)

 

A Magazine Called Sunset

Ashes of American Flags

Box Full of Letters

Cars Can't Escape

Company In My Back

Country Disappeared

Either Way

How to Fight Loneliness

Hummingbird

I'm A Wheel

I'm Always In Love

In The Street [big Star]

It's Just That Simple

Nothing'severgonnastandinmyway(again)

One By One

Passenger Side

Poor Places

Pot Kettle Black
