states & territories

Longest hop: VT → PA, roughly 341 miles as the crow flies. A floor, not an odometer: measured between state centroids, and hops inside one state count zero. Bring snacks.

The map — every stop, 2020
VTPANYNJ

Dot size = shows in that state; each arc is a road hop the tour actually made, thicker the more often. Dots sit on state centroids — a map of the tour, not a road atlas.

Counts credits over every performance in this scope, from the songwriter lines on go-set's own song pages — a co-written song counts once for each writer, so this never sums to the song count. Only the songs go-set publishes credits for appear (197 performances here carry one).

Counted from cover credits on each show page. Two special shows are excluded — the 4/20 "Dogs Play Dead" launch party and a private all-Dead set (0 more Dead-family covers between them) — because leaving them in would say more about two setlists than about a year of shows.

Shows by state

Only the 3 shows where every song carries the band’s own timing can compete — a show missing one length would lose on missing data, not on music.

Counted over go-set's full show history, in their own published convention — the derivation reproduces go-set's numbers exactly across every 2026 span (verified 2026-09-01, n=9,265).

Jam vehicles — average vs longest (minutes, 3+ timed takes)

Filled dot = the AVERAGE — the honest jam-vehicle number; hollow dot = its longest single take.
