Manics Live Song Stats

[Siouxsie Sway]

so many songs i would've like to have heard live.

[LA ex]

Only one of the top 47 most played songs I haven't heard live - and seeing as Repeat has only been once since 1994 and that was in 1997 I'm sure I'm not the only one who has it missing from their collection.

Pointless stat: If Die in the Summertime is performed another eight times this year it will have been performed more times this year than throughout the rest of it's lifetime.

Interesting stuff, if only to prove my memory isn't all that it should be ! Was looking down the list to see songs I haven't seen and was even asking myself if I've seen NSAF live. Quick Mspedia later and they opened Newport with it only last year. Ooops.

I'm surprised to see "This Charming Man" in the list. I take it that it was performed in the very early days of the band?

It was last year in Manchester in fact, I wasn't there but the set list says James played and sang a snippet of it during his little acoustic bit

[Donkey]

a definition of madness:

27 (It's Not War) Just the End of Love 117
28 Yes 114

As with a lot of bands on setlist.fm, there are a probably a lot of concerts not taken into account and therefore songs missing. Still interesting to see though.

I suspect Nicky generates setlists by randomising 21 out of the top 30

I suspect there's plenty of early days concerts missing, but with Manics fans being as obsessive as they are I doubt there's many post EMG performances missing.

Unfortunately the first Manics performance I saw (Loch Lomond, 3rd August 96) isn't on there. Which really annoys me as I can't do a complete how many times have I seen songs live breakdown without it!

Why not just add it to the site so others can add themselves there too?

[MoMoney MoJunk]

There's probably a thread somewhere, but is there a list of songs never played live?

Because I wasn't hugely into the Manics then, so apart from Everything Must Go, Design for Life and Raindrops Keep Falling on my head I've no idea what they played.

And whilst they've got their set list from supporting Oasis again the following weekend, I'm sure someone in the crowd proclaimed "Faster" yet it doesn't feature in the other ones.

It still surprises me that Miss Europa Disco Dancer and Wattsville Blues were performed before Castro.

It probably surprised him too.
