Stick it to the man, setrataeso. 

[setrataeso]

Oh, come on.  The correct spelling is "Honor."  And I'm not talking about "correct" as in nationality, but just "correct" as in "how the band spells it."

Pff, whatever.

Nah, I changed it.

[Global Laziness]

You should add how many times an album has been played in full.

Two months later, I decided to look it up:

When Dream and Day Unite - 1
Images and Words - 5
Awake - 0
Falling into Infinity - 0
Scenes from a Memory - 28
Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence - 0
Train of Thought - 1
Octavarium - 2
Systematic Chaos - 0
Black Clouds & Silver Linings - 0

Also, there have been instances when all the songs from a given album have been played at the concert, just not in the correct order and/or with other songs included between them as well:

When Dream and Day Unite - 3
Images and Words - 187
Train of Thought - 3

[Progmetty]

Where are the setlists?!

[cyberdrummer]

Where are the setlists?!

Wrong thread...

[hefdaddy42]

Scenes from a Memory - 28

This seems low.

[Global Laziness]

Scenes from a Memory - 28

This seems low.

Well look at it like this: Regression has only been played live 29 times, so they couldn't possibly have played the the album in its entirely more than 29 times. The reason it's only 28 is because at one show (2/4/2000  Los Angeles, CA) they got shut down before they could play Finally Free. Thus, Scenes from a Memory has been played in its entirety 28 times:

1/31/2000  Phoenix, AZ
2/1/2000  Las Vegas, NV
2/2/2000  Santa Ana, CA
2/5/2000  Los Angeles, CA
2/6/2000  San Francisco, CA
2/8/2000  Salt Lake City, UT
2/9/2000  Denver, CO
2/15/2000  Cincinnati, OH
2/19/2000  Pittsburgh, PA
2/23/2000  New Haven, CT
2/25/2000  Philadelphia, PA
2/26/2000  New York, NY
2/27/2000  Boston, MA
3/3/2000  Orlando, FL
4/1/2000  Offenbach, Germany
7/9/2000  Essen, Germany
7/12/2000  Hamburg, Germany
7/14/2000  Athens, Greece
7/18/2000  Ljubljana, Slovenia
7/19/2000  Budapest, Hungary
7/20/2000  Zlin, Czech Republic
8/18/2000  San Diego, CA
8/20/2000  Los Angeles, CA
8/23/2000  Houston, TX
8/29/2000  Wallingford, CT
8/30/2000  New York, NY
12/4/2005  Buenos Aires, Argentina
12/11/2005  Sao Paulo, Brazil

[cyberdrummer]

Still seems low - maybe this might be due to the fact that the MP.com tourography is missing some setlists. Because I know for a fact that the album was played several times in England. 

[Global Laziness]

Fair enough. I took a look at some of the other setlists from that time period and noticed that there were quite a few that said "The set list for this show is coming soon." I wonder how long it's been like that for...

[setrataeso]

That'd be a Setlist Scotty question.
I did keep track of all the dates that are listed as "coming soon" and I do check back on a regular basis. Still, no updates yet...

[Global Laziness]

Out of curiosity, how many are there?

[Global Laziness]

Interesting, thanks. Have you thought about PMing Scotty to ask about that?

[setrataeso]

Interesting, thanks. Have you thought about PMing Scotty to ask about that?

Nah, this is really just a hobby/project for DTF I do.
The tourography is part of Scotty's job.
I wouldn't feel right telling him how to do his job...

No no, I just meant asking him about it (ie. why? when?), not telling him to get on it.

[setrataeso]

Well, If I asked Scotty, then he would have to go talk with Mike. Considering Mike's pretty busy right now, what with A7X (or however the hell you abbreviate it).
I will get around to it at some point.
Plus, Scotty hasn't updated the South American BC&SL leg or the IM Summer Tour. He may be waiting for the Japanese duo of shows before he puts them up, but we'll see.

[cyberdrummer]

Those 66 shows have been 'coming soon' for years, so I don't expect them to be updated any time in the near future.

[Global Laziness]

Yeah, I figured about as much.

[ScioPath]

Strange Deja Vue: 220

Sorry, but this is bugging me. My OCD is getting the best of me.

No, I'm glad you pointed that out.

I would imagine that a good number of these, if not every one of them, were full performances of SFAM.

[chknptpie]

hmm would it be easy to see what has been played in phoenix the most? Like a top 10? That could be pretty cool to see!

You could check the MP tourography for city-specific setlists.
But, I went ahead and found out for you:

Pull Me Under: 5 (11/24/92, 1/31/00, 3/7/02, 7/23/05, 6/17/10)
Take the Time: 5 (11/24/92, 1/31/00, 3/7/02, 8/8/02, 3/6/06)
Home: 5 (1/31/00, 8/19/00, 3/7/02, 3/6/06, 6/17/10)
The Spirit Carries On: 5 (1/31/00, 8/19/00, 3/7/02, 8/8/02, 7/25/07)
Learning to Live: 4 (11/24/92, 8/19/00, 3/6/06, 7/25/07)
Fatal Tragedy: 4 (1/31/00, 8/19/00, 8/8/02, 7/23/05)

Those are the songs that have been played more than 3 times in DT's history in Phoenix.

I like how the top 7 are Images & Words songs. No real surprise there, though

[chknptpie]

Ha interesting! Thanks! I've seen DT once (with IM), so two of those were on that tours set list.

And when I saw them for the first time last year none of them were played
