Openers & Closers

Where songs land in the show — which ones open the night, close the main set, close the whole show, and turn up in the encore, plus how encore length has moved over time. The opener is the first song; the main-set closer is the last song before the encore; the show closer is the very last song of the night.

Setlists here don’t carry explicit “encore” labels, so the encore is inferred from set breaks: it’s the run of shorter sets at the end of the night (each under half the length of the show’s longest set), which keeps a genuine second set from being counted as an encore. Shows where the setlist wasn’t split into sets contribute an opener and closers but no encore.
