The Circle/Open Air Tour - Song Stats
 

With all 145 shows now completed I thought it would be good to look at the song count of the tour so far.

While calculating the song counts, I noticed some interesting points...

- Dry County has managed to rake up 22 plays.
- Who Says You Cant Go Home was dropped for the first time.
- Happy Now and Thorn In My Side only got 21 and 20 plays each, respectively.
- The More Things Change was played more times than No Apologies
- We Got It Goin On is the most played album track (non single).

I'm sure all the figures above arent 100% accurate, and I may have missed one or two songs or made some mistakes but overall you get an idea of this tour compared to the last one.

I didn't realize that KTF had been dropped that many times.
Some other interesting stats there.

Thanks :) that must have taken a bit of time - setlist trawling is fun though ;)

Will there be a new album before the next tour do we think?

Wonder how many more songs will be demoted then!

Hope you keep this up - be really interesting - thanks again x

Great stuff - thanks for taking the time to put all that together.

Never realised Blaze of Glory was played so few times - so glad I got it at HRC.

Yeah, it's become more of a regular this leg, but it was quite rare before that. I reckon that SIBSN should be two different songs: the real version (electric) and the phony version (acoustic).

Its a crime that I,d Die For You was played so few times on this tour such a powerful live song but maybe a bit too similar to Runaway?

Feel lucky to have seen Always, Dry County, and Happy Now each a couple of times. I'll never understand: 87 times for Work For The Working Man, 18 times for Thorn In My Side.

Alot of interesting stats, thanks. I soo forgot that Stranger in this town got a few outings last tour, it seems so long ago...

It paints an interesting picture anyway.. if you consider the show/country some were played too I'm sure someone could compile a nice fancy graph.

Andi

Thanks for that, very interesting and a lot of work on your part. I'm very glad to have heard some of the lesser played songs in Dublin! (NSG, Damned, Hey God) Only 18 plays of Blaze in 133 shows? - wow!
