Song Frequency

38 entries. How often each song has been played, whether it is in the current observed forms, and which standard Setlists A–G contain it. 2112 is split into complete and partial rows.

How often does Rush play each song on the Fifty Something Tour?

Every song performed on the Rush Fifty Something Tour, with the number of verified shows it has appeared in and the share of shows that represents. Percentages come from verified setlists only — nothing is estimated.

The Current forms column shows two-night B and C songs and the separately observed one-night G versions. The quieter Standard A–G column is historical reference only: A–D are the earlier four-night residency standards and E–G are other observed configurations. 2112 is listed as two separate entries because the band plays either the complete suite or the Overture / Temples / Finale selection.
