There is a nice task for someone - Pick the best of each and compile a 2 CD Acoustic album from the tour for the HipTracker site.

[HandsInTheRiver41]

In case I haven't said it before, well done sherpa, I appreciate all the effort you've put in :thumb:


With all these stats of songs played, I couldn't help but wonder about which songs weren't played. An interesting list I felt the need to add, is the most commonly played Hip songs that were absent from this tour. I took all my stats from thehip.com, which is reliably unreliable so don't trust the exact number of times played or the exact date of last time played. I only listed the 15 songs which have been played 50 or more times on previous tours.

[srb]

I find it surprising that Vaccination Scar wasn't played once this tour.

[HandsInTheRiver41]

Yeah, they just haven't played it at all since the IBE tour. Same with the Darkest One from the IVL tour.

I understand playing some songs only on the tour in support of the album they're from, but in both these cases these are semi-popular singles that the crowd would react well too.

[bstrauss24]

Awesome job with all of these stats! Looking at the list of most played songs that haven't been played was interesting as well. Most surprising to me is probably the two PP songs, as the rest of the album was played on this tour, and Vapour Trails especially hasn't quite been "as rare" in the past ten years as some others.

PS: I would love to see an acoustic compilation from this tour!! I vote for official release!

[50bones420]

i would love to see them bring out sliver jet more during tours
