v.5 Stats are from 04/24/2009 - 11/07/2009 (78 shows)
Hey All!
The Stat Pack is broken down into a few different categories. I have all We Are the Same songs at the top followed by the rest. It's pretty self explanatory. Enjoy.
We Are the Same
Total Plays:
1. The Depression Suite (76) - Only 2 shows not played: 4/29/2009 & 11/06/2009
2. Morning Moon (74) - 65 of 74 have come in the first set. Has shown up in the acoustic portion 3 times.
3. Love Is A First (72) - 60/72 have either been as a 1st set opener or closer.
4. The Last Recluse (66) - 28 first sets, 37 second sets (including 7 acoustic), 1 encore. Who are you? Drop me a line if you've got something to say. mrjackstraw@gmail.com or add a comment anywhere you like.
5. Coffee Girl (63) - Played in 11 of the past 12 shows with only 2 appearances in the acoustic portion during that time after a pretty extensive run there.
6. Now the Struggle has a Name(53) - 4 appearances in the last 12 shows represents a significant drop off for this song.
7. Frozen In My Tracks (46) - 25 of 46 playings have come in the encore.
8. Honey, Please (24) - Only played in 8 of the last 38 shows. Not sure why.
9. Queen of the Furrows (23) - Hey, at least they play it sometimes.
10. The Exact Feeling (18) - 6 of the last 38. C'ya.
11. Speed River (11) - Speed River is still froze over. 0 for the last 53.
12. Country Day (7) - No comment.
Notes: The top 3 songs are getting the NOIS treatment. The last Recluse and especially Struggle have dropped off some. Frozen is an encore machine. Honey & Queen could have used some of the air time that went to Coffee Girl, Morning Moon, Last Recluse, Struggle. The gap is just to big. Exact Feeling & Speed River are fine songs, but within this collection they are nothing more than filler. With regards to Country Day, I think a great opportunity was wasted with The Hip having the addition of a keyboard player and more time to play more songs. This is a beautiful, soaring number that the band could have had a lot of fun with. I don't think it's necessarily a set closer, but there are many set list placements that would have been quite effective. What might have been...
I can understand why they leaned so heavily on certain songs. This is a very, very solid album front to back and the weak links are only perceived as weak due to their immediate company. I think Love Is A First will have more of an effect when we don't hear it every show. The Depression Suite is something else though. This is the song I have been wanting The Hip to write forever. I'm having a hard time coming up with any Hip song I like better. It's fucking brilliant.

We Are the Same
Total Plays:
1. The Depression Suite(65) - Only show not played was 4/29/2009. 31 of 66 shows have opened with this masterpiece.
2. Morning Moon(62) - 53 of 52 have come in the first set. Has shown up in the acoustic portion 3 times since Sept 7th.
3. Love Is A First(60) - 49/60 have either been as a 1st set opener or closer. Did appear in the Encore slot in 3 of 6 shows from July 23rd -Aug 5th.
4. The Last Recluse(58) - 27 first sets, 30 second sets (including 2 acoustic), 1 encore. Who are you? Drop me a line if you've got something to say. mrjackstraw@gmail.com or add a comment anywhere you like.
5. Coffee Girl(52) - 18 of the past 26 shows have been acoustic (including 12 straight). Only 1 appearance however in the final 5 shows on the Canadian tour.
6. Now the Struggle has a Name(49) - 14 first sets, 27 second sets, 8 encores. From July 23rd - Sept 7th, Struggle only appeared once in 9 shows. Has not appeared in the 1st set in 28 shows.
7. Frozen In My Tracks(40) - Didn't show up in the set list until 4/29/2009 making Frozen the last song to be played live on this tour from WATS. 5 first sets, 16 second sets, 19 encores.
8. Honey, Please(22) - Only played in 6 of the last 26 shows. 5 of those were in the 2nd set.
9. Queen of the Furrows(21) - "This song is picking up momentum". That was my quote from the last Stat Pack 2. I recanted in Stat Pack 3, but now I'm recanting the recant. 7 of 18, which is High Times for the Queen. A good song that along with Honey Please and Country Day, deserves more concert play.
10. The Exact Feeling(18) - 6 of the last 26. Hey, at least it's getting dusted off. That's more than I can say for the 2 songs below. I didn't even need to change my comments from last time.
11. Speed River (11) - Speed River has froze over. 0 for the last 41.
12. Country Day (7) - I guess it was swimming in the Speed River when it froze over. Already a rarity. Too bad.

Notes: NOIS has opened the last 13/26 shows. Not an ideal bathroom break spot, but feel free to linger outside a bit longer or to take some extra time for your indulgences. I can't believe how much they play this song. I mean if you have to why not flop positions with Blow at High Dough every once in a while. Walk out on stage and open with Blow. Why not? No one will see that coming. Then you can get off to NOIS in a one song EPIC encore. Old school style. I'm not even going to bring up Courage...

If you can get 3:1 odds that Love won't open the show, you gotta take it. You will lose this bet over 1/2 the time, but when you win it will be worth it. Just sayin'...you're there, might as well place a bet or two to pass the time.

Honey Please - 4
Last Recluse, The - 4
Now the Struggle has a Name - 1
Notes: NOIS has opened the last 13/26 shows. Not an ideal bathroom break spot, but feel free to linger outside a bit longer or to take some extra time for your indulgences. I can't believe how much they play this song. I mean if you have to why not flop positions with Blow at High Dough every once in a while. Walk out on stage and open with Blow. Why not? No one will see that coming. Then you can get off to NOIS in a one song EPIC encore. Old school style. I'm not even going to bring up Courage...
***********************************************************************************
First Set Closers
14 different songs have sent you off for a piss and some beer. Smoke 'em if ya got 'em!

If you can get 3:1 odds that Love won't open the show, you gotta take it. You will lose this bet over 1/2 the time, but when you win it will be worth it. Just sayin'...you're there, might as well place a bet or two to pass the time.

Pin It Now!
v.3 Stats are from 04/24/2009 - 07/02/2009 (40 shows)
We Are the Same
Total Plays:
1. The Last Recluse (40) - Never missed. 22 first sets, 17 second sets, 1 encore. Who are you? Drop me a line if you've got something to say. mrjackstraw@gmail.com or add a comment anywhere you like.
T2. The Depression Suite (39) - Only show not played was 4/29/2009. 33 first set appearances. 23 of 40 shows have opened with this masterpiece.
T2. Now the Struggle has a Name(39) - After missing the Danforth show it has been a constant part of the rotation. 14 first sets, 18 second sets, 7 encores. 8 of the last 9 shows it has appeared in the 2nd set.
4. Morning Moon (38) - 32 of 38 have come in the first set including the last 13 shows in a row.
5. Love Is A First (35) - All but 4 have been in the first set. The last 12 shows have seen it open the 1st set 3 times, close it 8 times and encored once.
6. Coffee Girl (32) - 12 first sets, 13 second sets and 1 encore. 5 of the last 12 have been acoustic, the only WATS song to feature in this portion so far.
7. Frozen In My Tracks (29) - Didn't show up in the set list until 4/29/2009 making Frozen the last song to be played live on this tour from WATS. It has been played in 15 straight shows dating back to June 6, 2009. 5 first sets, 13 second sets, 11 encores.
8. Honey, Please (15) - 3 of the last 12????
9. Queen of the Furrows (14) - "This song is picking up momentum". That was my quote from the last Stat Pack. 2 of 12 since then. Oops.
10. The Exact Feeling (12) - Last 3 playings have all come in the first set after having never appeared in the first set before the June 17th show.
11. Speed River (11) - Speed River has froze over. 0 for the last 15.
12. Country Day (7) - I guess it was swimming in the Speed River when it froze over. Already a rarity. Too bad.
Notes: There's a real drop off from the top 7 songs by number of playings to the bottom 5. I understand there is always going to be a discrepancy, but some of these gaps are huge for such a new album. I think what surprises me the most is the quality of the songs in the lower tier. I realize this is all subjective, but I think Queen of the Furrows, Country Day and Honey Please are all top shelf Hip material. There's nothing wrong with Speed River or Exact Feeling, but there's nothing great about them either. I feel the same way about Frozen and Love Is A First.

Tidbits:
The Depression Suite, Coffee Girl, Morning Moon, The Last Recluse, Love Is A First, Now the Struggle Has A Name, Frozen In My Tracks, and of course New Orleans is Sinking have all been played every show for the last 12. These 8 songs alone accounted for nearly one third of ALL songs played over that span.
Trouble at the Henhouse jumped Day for Night in the total songs standings on the strop performances of both Gift Shop and Springtime In Vienna which have been played 8/12 and 9/12 respectively. Day for Night was hurt by the band's abandonment of Greasy Jungle, Inevitability of Death and Yawning or Snarling. Those 3 songs combined for a total of 1 playing over the same period.
Music @ Work is another album that has been more or less abandoned compared to its early tour appearances. It had 10 playings total during the last 12 shows; 8 for MMAW and 2 for Tiger the Lion. By comparison, M@W was represented with the playing of 8 different songs for a total of 24 songs in the first 12 shows of the tour.
Fully Completely had the most songs played over the past 12 shows with 37 slots total. Despite the increase in volume from the album, some songs were dropped completely from this last run. Eldorado, 50 Mission Cap and Pigeon Camera had all but disappeared with the increase coming with the saturation on the set lists with songs like Courage, 11/12; Wheat Kings, 7/12; and Fully Completely, 9/12.
We Are the Same continues to lead the way and is holding steady at just over 30% of all songs played. The weight of the playing has really shifted with the top 6 songs getting 72% of all plays. The top 7 songs account for 81% of all WATS plays, meaning Queen of the Furrows, Country Day, Speed River, The Exact Feeling and Honey Please have only been played 58 times between them.
Top Ten Longest No-Shows:
These songs have all been played this tour, but not in a while...
9. Goodnight Josephine: 26 shows (May 15)

8. Emperor Penguin: 27 shows (May 14)

Tidbits:
The Depression Suite, Coffee Girl, Morning Moon, The Last Recluse, Love Is A First, Now the Struggle Has A Name, Frozen In My Tracks, and of course New Orleans is Sinking have all been played every show for the last 12. These 8 songs alone accounted for nearly one third of ALL songs played over that span.
Trouble at the Henhouse jumped Day for Night in the total songs standings on the strop performances of both Gift Shop and Springtime In Vienna which have been played 8/12 and 9/12 respectively. Day for Night was hurt by the band's abandonment of Greasy Jungle, Inevitability of Death and Yawning or Snarling. Those 3 songs combined for a total of 1 playing over the same period.
Music @ Work is another album that has been more or less abandoned compared to its early tour appearances. It had 10 playings total during the last 12 shows; 8 for MMAW and 2 for Tiger the Lion. By comparison, M@W was represented with the playing of 8 different songs for a total of 24 songs in the first 12 shows of the tour.
Fully Completely had the most songs played over the past 12 shows with 37 slots total. Despite the increase in volume from the album, some songs were dropped completely from this last run. Eldorado, 50 Mission Cap and Pigeon Camera had all but disappeared with the increase coming with the saturation on the set lists with songs like Courage, 11/12; Wheat Kings, 7/12; and Fully Completely, 9/12.
We Are the Same continues to lead the way and is holding steady at just over 30% of all songs played. The weight of the playing has really shifted with the top 6 songs getting 72% of all plays. The top 7 songs account for 81% of all WATS plays, meaning Queen of the Furrows, Country Day, Speed River, The Exact Feeling and Honey Please have only been played 58 times between them.
Top Ten Longest No-Shows:
These songs have all been played this tour, but not in a while...
9. Goodnight Josephine: 26 shows (May 15)
9. Something On: 26 shows (May 15)
8. Emperor Penguin: 27 shows (May 14)
7. Are We Family: 28 shows (May 12)
6. Greasy Jungle: 29 shows (May 11)
5. Long Time Running: 31 shows (May 8)
4. The Completists: 32 shows (May 7)
3. World Container: 36 shows (Apr 29)
2. As Makeshift As We Are: 38 shows (Apr 27)
1. Stay: 39 shows (Apr 24)

Tidbits:
-The Depression Suite has opened over half the shows on this tour, but has only opened 2 of the last 8 shows. I think this song works anywhere they want to put it and I think we, the fans, are going to be enjoying it for a long time to come.
- It Can't Be Nashville Every Night has only 1 appearance in the last 17 shows (06/06/2009)
- On the Verge has been MIA for 13 shows (05/16/2009)
- If Family Band is the 2nd song in the first set, The Dark Canuck will be an encore tune. This is money. Use it. Bet it.
-Something On has not appeared in 15 shows (05/15/2009)
- 13 of 14 Gift Shop's can be found in the first set. The exception was 05/16/2009 @ Massey Hall. People clapped along to the intro and it fucked the mood & build up. Clapping is gay. This is a tension and release song. Allow the tension to build. Please. If you must clap, go see Dave Matthews and clap away. That's a clap happy bunch. Frat boys fucked that scene. I digress....
- World Container has been played once: 04/29/2009. And that's too bad.
- 4 of the last 6 Coffee Girls have been acoustic
- Grace, too has only appeared in the first set 4 of 17 times. In a Tragically Hip All-Star Game, this is my lead-off hitter.
- Queen of the Furrows has appeared in 4 of the last 5 shows, Bobcaygeon in 5 of the last 6, 7 of the last 9 shows
- The last 2 IAGLIYDWs have been encores
-Blow at High Dough has had an encore slot in 6 of the last 12 shows

Hey All,
I am On the Verge of releasing Vol. 2 of The Tragically Hip Stat Pack for the 2009 tour. I am lacking some final details on one particular show (05/27/2009), so I am going to wait until I can confidently give you the complete package. I have developed a nice Matrix which does the math for me, Ha ha, so there will be a few more categories this time around.
Here some links to Tragically Hip audience recordings over at etree:
Fillmore - Detroit, MI 05/29/2009
Fillmore - Detroit, MI 05/30/2009
House of Blues - Cleveland, OH 05/31/2009
Lots of other good music there too. Phish is blazing out of the gate. Can't wait to see them in a few weeks. It's been far too long.
Go Wings!

Hip Tour Stat-Pack 2009 v.1
Pin It Now!
For fun, shits and giggles, etc. I have put together some tour stats. I will update maybe every 10 shows or so. I wanted to wait to do the first one once a good chunk of data had been compiled.
When we look at the "big picture" I am going to break everything down into two sections. One will consist of only We Are the Same material and the other will include everything else. Obviously as the touring album it is going to pull said number of slots at each show regardless.
v.1 Stats are from 04/24/2009 - 05/19/2009 (16 shows)
We Are the Same
Total Plays:
1. The Last Recluse (16) - Never missed. 8 first sets, 7 second sets, 1 encore
T2. The Depression Suite (15) - Only show not played was 4/29/2009. All appearances have been in the first set except for 5/7/2009 where it appeared mid-second set.
T2. Struggle (15) - After missing the Danforth show it has been a constant part of the rotation. 8 first sets, 6 second sets, 1 encore.
T4. Morning Moon (14) - 11/14 have come in the first set
T4. Love Is A First (14) - see Morning Moon ^^^

Kinda neat looking at these numbers. If you're a Day For Night fan for example, it's nice to see that they have played almost 60% of the album contents. On the other hand the numbers show that on average you may see 2 of these songs per show, but it is also quite possible that you may get none.
IVL makes up less than 3% of the live material put forward this tour, yet I saw 3/4 that they have done from this album during a segment of the Massey run.
I'm interested to see what songs will be on the "one time played list" by the end of the tour. Always nice to catch one of those, especially if they hold.
Notable absences this tour: Fire in the Hole, Summer's Killing Us, Vaccination Scar, Heaven, Silver Jet, Use It Up, 38 Years Old, Looking For A Place to Happen, and Cordelia.
I'll keep adding to the info, so check in regularly. Maybe every 10 to 15 shows. Feedback is always appreciated. Just hit the "Post Comment" button.

For fun, shits and giggles, etc. I have put together some tour stats. I will update maybe every 10 shows or so. I wanted to wait to do the first one once a good chunk of data had been compiled.
When we look at the "big picture" I am going to break everything down into two sections. One will consist of only We Are the Same material and the other will include everything else. Obviously as the touring album it is going to pull said number of slots at each show regardless.
v.1 Stats are from 04/24/2009 - 05/19/2009 (16 shows)
We Are the Same
Total Plays:
1. The Last Recluse (16) - Never missed. 8 first sets, 7 second sets, 1 encore
T2. The Depression Suite (15) - Only show not played was 4/29/2009. All appearances have been in the first set except for 5/7/2009 where it appeared mid-second set.
T2. Struggle (15) - After missing the Danforth show it has been a constant part of the rotation. 8 first sets, 6 second sets, 1 encore.
T4. Morning Moon (14) - 11/14 have come in the first set
T4. Love Is A First (14) - see Morning Moon ^^^
6. Coffee Girl (12) - 4 first sets, 8 second sets.
T7. Honey, Please (8) - Played in the first 6/8 shows to start the tour but has cooled off since appearing in only 2 of the last 8 shows. 6 of the 8 have been in the first set.
T7. Frozen In My Tracks (8) - Didn't show up in the setlist until 4/29/2009 making Frozen the last song to be played live on this tour from WATS. 3/8 have been encores.
