Two ways to get a tracklist
Last updated
1001Tracklists and setlist.fm are written by people: someone who was there, or who knows the records, types the list in. setlist.id and set79 read the recording itself. People can name a track nobody has released yet; software cannot. Software gets to the set nobody has written up, and does it in minutes.

Count them yourself
Tracks named on each site's page for the same recording, counted on . Two versions of one song count once; rows left as ID or Unknown count as unnamed. “No tracklist” means we searched that site and found no page for the set. Each number links to the page it was counted from, where that page is still up.

Where each one wins
A famous main-stage set is 1001Tracklists' home ground. Its members name unreleased IDs and edits that no recognition tool can, and on those sets its tracklist is often longer than ours. It is free to read, so check it first.
setlist.fm is the place for a band's concert: the songs, in order, from people who were in the room.
set79 works the way we do and is worth a look for a SoundCloud set someone has already analyzed there.
setlist.id is for everything else: the set posted last night, the club recording nobody wrote up, a mix on YouTube or Mixcloud, a page full of ID placeholders. Paste the link and the tracklist comes back in minutes, with a timestamp and store links on the tracks it finds.
