Coverage
?
Dense 2015-2025, thin before 2015, and through 2007 mostly radio and broadcast mixes. It ends at the Sep 21, 2025 farewell run and is incomplete: counts are what the Fam wrote down, not everything Tipper played.

NuNu marks per year

?
Setlist entries a source marked NuNu (new and unreleased at that show, by their account), not unique tracks. Not verified: the earliest in this dataset can differ. Most fall in 2021-2025, when the sources started flagging them.

Every year since

?
Longest unbroken run of years with a documented play. Thin years (2021 and 2023 have 5 and 3 sets) break streaks, so these are lower bounds.

Comebacks

?
Longest gap between two documented plays. A gap means no documented play, not that it was never played. Gaps that start in the thin years are the least reliable.
