What bands actually play live

Gap, rotation and rarity across every show we hold. We read setlists — song by song, night by night — and count what a band is really playing, not what is on the record.

what gap means

Gap is the number of shows a band has played since a song last appeared — not days, not months. The bigger the count, the more overdue it is.
