Show notes: This show was going on as the Red Wings were laying the Beat Down of the Penguins. It makes sense (to me anyways) that as the Big Red Machine was creating its magic, The Tragically Hip was doing the same right up the street. I was getting the sense that we were falling into a pattern of sorts although the loop on this tour has a much larger span.

Daredevil made its first appearance this tour and brings the total of the Day for Night songs up to 9 of 14. Fifty Mission Cap was played outside of the encore for the first time this tour and Coffee Girl made its first appearance in the acoustic portion of the show. No song from We Are the Same had appeared in the acoustic slot before this show. If New Orleans Is Beat loses its status as a one show song after making a second appearance this tour after not seeing any action during the last 15 shows.

IAGLIYDW found itself in the encore for the first time this tour and The Depression Suite made only its second appearance outside of the first set.

Did I mention the Red Wings won. Well they did. 3-1. Country Day.....ho, ho, ho.

Off the top of my head this looks like the 05/12/2009 setlist from Massey Hall. I will have to check. Lucky I know a site...Ha ha. Little Bones is back in its encore slot after coming out to close the 2nd set for one show (05/19/2009). My Music at Work continues to be featured in a set closing position even though it's been kind of weak this tour.

Love Is A First receives a rare night off.

I like Detroit in 5 over the Penguins. I want to see the boys hoist The Cup on home ice.

I don't have an entire setlist for this show as of yet. Once I can confirm the entire show I will post.

In the meantime, keep your stick on the ice. 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 ^^^
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.
T9. The Exact Feeling (6) - Has never appeared in the first set. 1 encore.
T9. Speed River (6) - 2 first sets, 4 second sets.
11. Queen of the Furrows (5) - Started slow showing up in the first 2 of 9 shows but has since appeared in 3 of the last 7. 4/5 have been in the second set.
12. Country Day (4) - Disappeared for 9 shows 4/29 - 5/15. I don't get it.

0.00% Should I bother?????????

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.
