setlist.fm is a GREAT resource, but it can only compile and collate the data that's it receives.
Ther could very well be many, many setlists that haven't been submitted to the site.

Popular bands like the Stones are obviously quite well-documented, but I've looked up setlists for smaller bands, and many have incomplete entries, even for shows that have occurred within the last 10-20 years.Quote

Made a note for that in the original post. Thanks Keef! Most of the songs after 1967 are pretty much accurate.

Hi Jordy,
That's a nice list, but ...
If you really want a very accurate overview, you need to do some hard work (but it will turn you into an expert )
Already decades ago I read some amazing books (but most of them are online already for a while!)
Felix Aeplli: The Ultimate Guide (online)
James Karnbach & Carol Benson: It's Only Rock and Roll
Nico Zendgraf: The Complete Works (online)
Ian McPherson: Time is on my side (online, no book as far as I know)
And off course ... Björnulf Vik's IORR (online, no book .. or?)
Nice to read is also Dieter Hoffmann's Schwarz- and Weissbuch.
James Karnbach mentioned "standard setlists" of performances during the very early 60s and I once, some 18 years ago, worked out that the Stones performed many hundreds of times then (twice a day was normal!). When you go through the above literature (I found it really great fun) your "top 50" list will look different
Those guys (and several others on photos, bootlegs, etc) have (and still do) great work ... and we can all benefit from it. If you like statistics, GO FOR IT!
Good luck!

'wild horses' played only 148 times!
Maybe 395/'paint it black' feels too small number too...

So the list on [TimeIsOnOurSide.com] is incomplete although it counts all songs since 1962 ?

What are the songs that have never been played?

Presumably Satisfaction would be #1 reflecting all the '62-'67 shows (about 230 odd dates as of June '65, with 2 shows being played on many occasions, some of which are however included in the Setlist FM statistics).

Thanks georgie!! I actually use a lot of those sites when I back my information. Of course this list above is going to be a tad inaccurate. I'd say that most shows from 1968-present are all well-documented. So a song like Not Fade Away I'm sure was played more than 186 times considering how many shows they did in '64-66.

I just digged into some old stuff and give you some pretty accurate performance 60s figures:
1962: 39 performances
1963: 296 performances
1964: 318 performances
1965: 209 performances
1966: 82 performances
1967: 25 performances
1968: 2 performances (incl. R 'n' R Circus)
1969: 30 performances
You see that 1963/1964 had more than 600! The total for the whole of the 20th Century was 1739 performances (at least 99.5% accurate, I hope )
Somebody will know how many they did so far in the 21st Century

That 63-65 period is just bonkers. 800 shows. An average of 8 shows every 11 days. They must have been knackered. They were very busy recording then too. The millions they rake in now with little studio output can perhaps be seen as deferred payment for their massive efforts back then yet the only still regularly played song from that era is Satisfaction. While they did well, most of the income they generated then went to Record Companies, management etc
