About the setlists. 45 of the 174 concerts listed here carry one. Before 1976 a setlist survives only where a recording or a contemporary account does — the band’s own show database records the date and the venue, not what was played. The blanks below are gaps in the historical record rather than entries still to be researched. If you were at one of these shows and remember the set, I’d like to hear from you.
