Caveats
This site is compiled from the best available information from circulating recordings, online concert reviews, magazines, newspapers and fan recollections. I don't have access to Neil's tape archives. I've done my best to be accurate but of course errors are likely throughout. I welcome any corrections.
I have not included any data from Buffalo Springfield and Squires periods and have minimal data from the 1968-1969 Solo tours and the early 1969 Crazy Horse tour. See the definitive Ghost On The Road if you are interested in those eras.
Due to missing data, some of the statistics may not be quite accurate. For example, the first known performance of some of the older songs are likely wrong as the original performance may have been during one of the aforementioned Buffalo Springfield, Solo or Crazy Horse tours. Similarly, in some cases the number of performances of a particular song may be a little low. In general, most of the missing data is before 1976 and you will find later years much more complete. Again, I welcome any additional information.
Instrumentation - most of the instrumentation information comes from the various recordings that are available. However, there are cases where I made educated guesses. I used my best judgement on much actual guessing occurred, but it is likely there are errors.
I welcome any suggestions on system enhancements, but I will confess to being a little over my head on the technical aspects of the new site, so changes may happen slowly while I continue to learn.
Known problems
I don't yet distinguish between London, England and London, Ontario, Canada.
The Debuted Songs listings are displayed inconsistently.
Shows recorded/unrecorded statistics improperly count the shows not yet played.
Statistics related to songs played as medleys such as Dance, Dance, Dance>Love as a Rose are not correct.
I'm not sure how all of this works on older browsers.
Inconsistancy on the number of a times a song was played between the Statistics page and the individual song page.
Enhancements planned
Advanced search to find all solo piano versions of Winterlong or all versions of The Needle And Damage Done on electric guitar.
Cleaning up and expanding the Statistics section.
Add more information under the Album section.
The Album release dates are currently missing from the
year pages. I hope to fix this.
