MiguelSanchez Up until this year, I had seen number line at over half the shows I had seen in 3.0. Thank god I had a zero # line summer.

Other than that, harpua and Johnny b Goode are tied for the most frequently played songs since my first show that I have not seen.

That is so sad. Buddy, you need a tweezer!!

Edit: note, it took me 2.5 years/10 shows to catch my first. I popped my cherry at a little show in auburn hills in '97. It was worth the wait... haha.

psuphan Permalink
psuphan Although I've been listening to these guys for close to 15 years, I only started going to shows more recently (don't ask) but the one stat that always stands out is that in 20 shows, I've seen Boogie on 8 times - more than anything else and tied with Possum... It's insane to think it's been played at 40% of my shows.

Unfortunately, I've only seen YEM twice and Divided Sky three times, and those are the songs that brought me to Phish in the first place!

Savorybeef My favorite personal oddity is the fact that I've seen more Tweezer Reprises (13) than plain ole Tweezers (12). Come to think of it-- its not that odd cause everyone at Hartford and SPAC in 2010 are prob in the same boat. I'm an idiot
