I love this sort of research and nerdom. The world needs more #biscology. 👏🏼
Unless my math isn't mathing, getting Mag and HDPF in the same show is rare (~28 instances incl last night).
Getting them in the same set is a much rarer treat: 12 instances (with only 4 post 1.0).

Play frequency with Marlon
Lifetime top 25 most played, not yet played with Marlon.
After the first Disco Biscuits tour with Marlon, some quick #Biscology:
(1) By late Marlon FTPs
(2) Play count of songs with Marlon (Helix at 5x)
(3) 25 lifetime most played songs not yet played with Marlon
We like to stats; #SIYD.
Thanks, mate. I've been doing data cuts of setlist databases for a few years now across a few bands.
I finally got the Bisco data ingested into my tool and have been digging into #Biscology.

Disco Biscuits 2-song sequences, 1996-2025
Disco Biscuits 3-song sequences, 1996-2025
(1/2) Rainy day #Biscology. A longitudinal look at song sequences.
* Only 25 two-song pairings were played >10x. No Scarlet > Fire sort of canon. None involve inversions.
* Only 17 three-song pairings were played >4x. Need to get down to 4x-played MEMPHIS >< Confro > RLH to get to an inversion.
Two shows in. 19 eligible transitions. 2 commas. #Biscology
And then they play a one-comma* show at Hula (across ten eligible transitions).

Disco Biscuits "comma" analysis
Disco Biscuits "," vs ">" analysis
Some humpday #Biscology. A friend hypothesized that we’ll see more “commas” once Marlon hits the tDB traps. Suspect he's right.
Baseline: Commas have nearly vanished, down from 80% of transitions in '96 to 2% in 24 / 4% in 25. Basically seamless sets in 24-25, with only 40 commas across ~290 sets.
