2016 I Don't Know Tour set list tracker UPDATED 10/23/16
Posted: May 24, 2016 2:52 pm
The 2016 I Don't Know Tour kicks off this week with the 5/23/16 Show in Austin Texas and that means it is time for a new set list tracker. This year's set list tracker, will be very similar to the set list tracker I created for the 2015 Workin and Playin Tour. I will use the same format for tracking set list changes this year as I did last year by presenting the set list for the first show of the tour (5/23 Austin, TX) is presented in full with set list changes for all subsequent show posted below the first show's set list.
Like last years set list tracker I will be including an alphabetical listing of all songs played with a number indicating the number times each song was played. I will also include the Number of Songs played at each show list and the Shows by total number of songs played list as I did last year. Jimmy is playing some songs that have not been heard in some time, those songs will have a notation indicating the last time the song was performed live. The notations will appear in the set list change section of the tracker. One change this is that the show notes provided for each show will not be in orange this year but rather in Dark Blue.
