Tapes

There are good and complete audience tapes from all shows.

[TOP]


[1] a show is unique if no other show has the same songs in the same order;  Cuyahoga Falls, July 9 and Harrisburg, July 11 are identical!

[2] a show is different from another show if the set of songs are different, regardless of order

[3] electric and acoustic versions are counted as different songs

[4] a song is counted as unique regardless of how it is performed

[5] variation is computed as the quote between number of different songs and mean number of performed songs
