Setlist Variety

How each show's setlist compares with the rest of the tour. A higher score means more of the night's songs were ones the band didn't play every night. A show can rank high by mixing in several rotating songs, even with no single rarity.

How it's scored

Each song gets the share of the tour's 15 documented shows that played it (its "% of shows").
A show's score is the average of (100% − that share) across its songs. 0 would mean every song was played every night.
Unusual = the top 10% of the tour, Varied = the top third, otherwise Standard.
Rare songs: played at 10% or fewer of the tour's shows, or only at that show. They're listed separately and don't decide the ranking on their own. The score counts every song in the set.
A show's "deepest cut" is its least-played song on the tour.
Only concerts with a complete known setlist are scored. Drum solos, intros and similar filler are ignored.
