Furthur's 25-show spring tour drew to a close in Boca last night. While setlists only tell part of the story, here's who they played:
A quick rundown of what you were likely to hear at Furthur's 2010 shows....
• Furthur played 484 songs over the course of the year (209 different tunes).*
• 63% of song occurrences were Dead songs.
• Next most common origins were The Beatles at 6.4% of songs and "Traditional" at 6.2% of songs.
• Others from GD members: Furthur (3.3%), RatDog (0.8%), Jerry (0.4%), Phil (0.2%)
• No Weir solo tunes (non-GD, non-RD) were played.
• Among the 307 times GD songs were played, their music was written by:**
• Jerry (55%)
• Bob (23%)
• Phil (10%)
• Mickey (3.8%)
• Pigpen (2.7%)
• Billy (2.2%)
• Keith (0.3%)
• Donna (0.3%)
*-each song was only counted once per show. (e.g., a split "Dark Star" was counted as played once)
** - to determine song credits, authors of songs with multiple credits were assigned the appropriate fraction of a song. (e.g., "Truckin" was counted as ⅓ Jerry, ⅓ Bob, ⅓ Phil) These counts are only based on music, not lyrics.
