all time (2018–now), counted
Every number below comes from the 716 shows in this scope — from go-set.net, which is run by the band. For official play counts and gap charts, go-set itself is the authority.

Every performance in this scope, the 4/20 and private all-Dead sets included — this ring says what happened; the artist chart below says what is typical.
Longest hop: BCS → VT, roughly 2,548 miles as the crow flies. A floor, not an odometer: measured between state centroids, and hops inside one state count zero. Bring snacks.

Every fully-timed show in this scope, in order — hover a dot for the night. Untimed shows are absent, not zero.
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 (5494 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 (25 more Dead-family covers between them) — because leaving them in would say more about two setlists than about a year of shows.
Only the 513 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).
Filled dot = the AVERAGE — the honest jam-vehicle number; hollow dot = its longest single take.

Brighter is busier; the number in each cell is the count.
How rare is rare?
These count all 716 shows in the archive, 2018 to now — not just this year. Across them the band has played 538 different songs, and 218 of those (41%) exactly once. The repertoire is a small core and a very long tail.
Songs the band has played at only 2–12 shows ever, but that turned up in the last 120 — the rare ones you could actually have caught. A list on purpose: the rarest songs are all tied at two or three shows, so ranked bars would be identical lengths.

Only songs with at least five lifetime plays, so this reads as "overdue" rather than "played once in 2019 and never again". Counted from this archive’s own show list, not from go-set’s published gap figures.
The story of the band in one chart: 93% covers in 2018, settling around a quarter as the original repertoire took over. Counted with the band-family rule — Dogs in a Pile and its side projects are originals.
Songs with at least eight timed performances; lengths are the band’s own track times, recorded consistently since 2023. The longest single version in this set ran 47 minutes.
