I’ve played that song a thousand times!!

A little less than 1,000 times.

When you’ve played in a band for a few years, you’re bound to hear the words “Man, we’ve played that a 1,000 times!”

The fact of the matter is I doubt you have played that song a 1,000 times.  Here’s what it would take to play a song 1,000 times: you’d have to play the chosen song once a day for 2.5 years!

Here’s some perspective: Bob Dylan performed All Along The Watch Tower for the first time on Jan. 3rd 1974. By the end of 2003, he had performed the song roughly 1,398 times.

U2, a band that has toured the world for over 30 years, has played Pride (In The Name Of Love) roughly 795 times.

Pearl Jam first played Alive in Oct of 1990 and since then has performed it 589 times.

Since I created an Artist Data account in August of 2009 to post gigs,  Dirty Proper has played roughly 137 shows. The most performed Dirty Proper song is Here to Remind You.
