The Church: Song Histories

Life is full of difficult questions. Questions such as "What song have The Church played live the most often?" This site can help answer some of these burning questions. The information below was derived from The Church Setlist Database, and is based on all known setlists that appear on that site. As such, it is obviously not an exact count, but it does give a bit of an indication of how often each of these songs have been called into active duty. I suppose I could have assumed that the setlists for each tour don't change that much, and then extrapolate in the numbers for known gigs whose setlists remain a mystery, and so on, but, hey, this was easier.

The tables below list each song they have played live, the number of times it appears in the setlist database, when it was first performed live, and when it was last performed live. You can view the information listed numerically by number of performances, or alphabetically by song title.

A few tidbits of note:

The Church have played 149 different songs in their live shows
Most played song: Under the Milky Way
Longest overall run: Almost With You, with 27 years between the first and last performance (1982-2009)
Longest gap between performances: Just for You, with 21 years between appearances (1984-2005)

Most delayed debut: Violet Town, released in 1984 and not played live until 2005

Most recent debut: Dead Man's Hand, Happenstance, Space Saviour, Pangaea, Operetta (March 6, 2009)

Most represented albums: Starfish (10 of 10 songs on the album have been played live - 100%); After Everything Now This (9 of 10 - 90%); The Blurred Crusade, Seance, Remote Luxury/Persia (all with 8 of 10 played - 80%)

Least represented albums: Back With Two Beasts (2 of 10 album songs have been played live - 20%); Magician Among the Spirits (3 of 14 - 21%); Sometime Anywhere (3 of 13 - 23%)

And finally, you can view a list of songs The Church have recorded, but have never played live.
