Explanatory notes:

• These statistics cover Joe's concerts from the start of the Look Sharp! Tour (1979) to the end of the Rain Tour (2008).
• They do neither cover the early concerts before the release of Look Sharp! (because no set list is available) nor live performances on radio and TV.
• If a song was played twice for any reason during a concert (e.g. the reprise of "Uptight" in the Motown Medley) it is counted here only once.
  
• If two songs were played as a medley (e.g. Fools In Love/For Your Love) they are both counted.
• The true numbers could of course be higher or lower because the known set lists might not be representative of all concerts of a tour and because for some tours the total number of dates is unknown.
