Site Information

You can either browse the site, tour by tour, show by show, or search for show(s) by various criteria.

If browsing, selecting a tour will take you to a list of shows on that tour. These are presented 10 shows at a time. You can either view information about a show, by clicking on the info button (), or page through the shows using the navigation controls at the top and bottom of the listing.

You can see what information is available for each show with the At A Glance indicators:

Any shows added in the last 7 days will be indicated by NEW!. Any shows updated in the last 7 days will be indicated by UPDATE!.

If searching, you can enter as much or as little information as you want (or know). The search engine will attempt to find shows matching all the entered details i.e. the details are AND'ed together. An exception to this is the recording information - if multiple recording flags are searched for, shows matching any of the flags will be returned i.e. these flags are OR'ed together.

You may use the wildcard %, and partial matches will be returned e.g. entering "little" as a Song Title will return shows where "Two Little Girls" or "Little Plastic Castle" were played. The search is also case insensitive, so it doesn't matter about capitals. Do be careful about some spellings - I've tried to be as accurate as possible, and this includes using spelling related to the country of the show, so there are differences in theatre/theater and centre/center etc.

Start and end dates may be used to limit the search. If any part of the date is missing, then the earliest (for start date) and latest (for end date) date based upon the parts entered will be used.

The search results will be presented 10 shows at a time, and navigation is identical to that used when browsing and described above.

The show details display gives all the information known about the show. If the show was displayed after a search, then the search criteria will be highlighted.

The first known performance of a song is indicated by a * after the song title. Notes relating to the performance of a song are italicised after the song title. Notes relating to a particular song are referenced by a superscripted number after the song title, and the note can be found below the set list.

Song statistics may be viewed, either overall or on a tour basis. At the moment this just gives the number of times a particular song was played (overall, or on that tour) and the first and last dates of a performance. If the song was only played once, thenb a link to that show is provided. Of course, the number of performances is counted from the setlist database, so it's no indication of a truly unique event.

If that person is me, then more than likely I won't mind, but it's still nice to be asked and know where your stuff is going !
