hello from railrat -

just a quick thank you for your help - without folks like you this site would be much less - it may sound silly, but this old man really needed some simple guidance - and your tips allowed me to move forward (confidently) with my goals on this site - so much appreciation from me sir

i will likely not need any more assistance but it is sure good to know that you are there in case i have questions!

hello from mister railrat - i feel so fortunate to have your help thank you sir - i am super excited to continue without mistakes - but before i do i will personally delete all of the support acts - from where i inserted them erroneously in the setlist notes area - one last thing here is the two links - examples of acoustic sets (within a set) - one links to a show that you attended - and one to a show that i attended - i would like to know how to achieve it your way if possible - thank you sir

hello again sir -

i think i have jumped the gun - sorry for being overzealous and i admit i need assistance
perhaps a lot because i have a ton of info to post and i would like to make certain that i am following protocol

for example - one of the shows you attended - hot tuna november 28, 2006 - has separations for acoustic sets within a set - and i attended the allman brothers on october 5, 1991 and i edited the songs (that were performed acoustic) individually rather than in a group like yours - please help this old man when you get a moment - you have my gentlemen's word that i will not edit or post again until you guide me and i will remove or change any damage i may have already done... thanks in advance sir

hello ben!

i am very new here - and i thank you for letting me know about the history of not posting opening acts in the setlist notes - and it seems we have very similar music tastes sir! anyway i was wondering - since i view opening acts as an extremely important part of the concert and i have been documenting my shows since 1975 - why not have the opening acts posted where visitors can easily see them (and then they can check those setlists as well if interested?) if the opening acts are not easily visible, then visitors will have to check the comments (in their entirety) to see if someone has even posted this info at all - so if i am unwelcome to post opening acts in the setlist notes (which conveniently happens to be perfectly suited for this) then where can i post opening act information in plain sight without having to have visitors seek it out?

HI Ben,
could you create this venue?
setlist would not recognize Spring, Texas

Ben,

Please have a look at my new comment on The Beat Sept 10, 1981 Reseda Country Club setlist. There is definitely confusion over both this particular show and the way the venue itself is being listed. I've submitted a hyperlink to an ad from that time that lists the venue as simply Rissmiller's. There is no sub-head at all for just Rismiller's, and shows at this venue are listed randomly either as Wolf & Rissmiller's Country Club or as Reseda Country Club, which is extremely confusing. For example, R.E.M. on Sept 10, 1981 is listed under Wolf & Rissmiller, while The Beat is listed under Reseda Country Club (despite it being the wrong date...Gang of Four was actually the headliner on Sept 10, The Beat on Sept 4.) Anyway, a decision needs to be made as to this venue's name and maybe as to the dates when it was called one name or another. Thanks. arfhound

I disagree, here is what the guidelines say about this:
Location names should be in the local language (e.g. Olympiastadion instead of Olympic Stadium). If the location contains letters not supported, please use the transliterated version (e.g. Olimpijski instead of ???????????).

https://www.setlist.fm/guidelines#venuesGeneral

In Canada both English and French are coofficial languages, however in general I would not expect venues in Vancouver to be named in French nor would I expect venues in Montreal to be named in English (there are exceptions to this of course). I think the same argument applies to Puerto Rico where Spanish is the overwhelming primary language. Venues should be named according to the primary language whenever a name in that language exists. The names in other languages can be used as aliases.

Hi Ben, Puerto Rican venues in general should be named in Spanish (unless there is an English only name). Spanish is the primary language for 90+% of the island's population and it is spoken by 95+% of the population:

so it follows that the primary venue name (when there is an English and a Spanish version) will be in Spanish. Thanks!

Center Slovanskih Kultur France Prešeren, Ljubljana, Slovenija - is correct venue name

https://www.setlist.fm/venue/kud-france-preseren-ljubljana-slovenia-13d60911.html

Of course! :)

I think that makes more sense, actually, to attach that information as a note as you suggested. I'll make that change right now. Thank you for bringing that to my attention, Ben! :)

Respect to you for the changes you made for Bosnia and Slovenia

https://www.setlist.fm/venue/radia-slovenija--val-202-ljubljana-slovenia-23d074fb.html
Radia Slovenija - what is this and why you change correct name from this venue.
Studio Radio Val 202
https://val202.rtvslo.si/
Radio Slovenija is correct or RTV Slovenija channel 2
You Can change this too

Thanks for reverting Poison’s set! :) would u know if I have some type of block on edits? If so, would it be possible to remove it? I always cite my sources, when I attend shows I usually write everything down (setlist - set times, etc)

Hi Ben, this user https://www.setlist.fm/user/michelle5
Keeps reverting my edit, I attended The Stadium Tour in San Diego on Aug 28, I keep adding Poison’s set time it was from 6-6:55 PM but it keeps on reverting, not sure if I have a block or it’s just a spammer. Any help would be great! Thanks

Lumineers edits done for the REMINGTON + REPRISE songs. I also submitted a mass edit request for “Leader of the Landslide / You Can't Always Get What You Want” via the duplicate song link. I don’t think they play it at every show but where it is logged seems to be a ~60s snippet midway in.

This bullet point for the snippet guidelines implies the YCAGWYW should just be a note.

I logged it as such for my shows and attached a couple other links for other references (both are about 3:30 in) if you wouldn’t mind helping with it. Then I think it all looks clean! If you can’t tell, I like seeing songs assigned to albums :)

Sorry

*Todd Snider, himself, is the only one that needs to be corrected.
All of the cover artists for this song are already correct.

Thanks Ben

*should be Side Show Blues, not Sideshow Blues

Hi Ben, Can you merge this song for Todd Snider stats?
Too much work to do manually.

Side Show Blues performed by Yonder Mountain String Band
Original Artist Todd Snider
From the release Step Right Up (Album)
Total Plays 188 times by Yonder Mountain String Band
206 times by 4 artists
First Played in Concert February 20, 2004 at Headliners, Louisville, KY, USA

Thanks. I can update the rest of the songs later tonight hopefully. But the capitalization should remain as that’s what’s listed on the album/musicbrainz.

How does sourcing typically work in cases like this? I’ve seen the show twice this year, and have looked up three or so YouTube videos (all of which are the same as what I saw). I’ve already had one edit from last night reverted and don’t want to get into a “I’m right, you’re wrong” situation as I get into the remaining edits.

Thanks again!
