How Songs Are Scored

The Rarity
System

Every song gets a rarity tier based on how often it appears in setlists. Here's exactly how we calculate it.

Staple
Tier 1 — Staple
Played at the vast majority of shows. Near-certainties at any concert.
Regular
Tier 2 — Regular
Frequent but not guaranteed. A solid rotation pick at most tours.
Uncommon
Tier 3 — Uncommon
Appears occasionally. A pleasant surprise when it shows up.
Rare
Tier 4 — Rare
Seldom played. Fans go years between hearings. A real moment.
Ultra Rare
Tier 5 — Ultra Rare
Played a handful of times ever. A once-in-a-decade event.

How We Calculate

Primary Score
Rarity Score = total_plays ÷ total_shows_with_setlists
Tag Weight
Tags (brief teases/snippets) count as 0.5 plays — not a full performance

What counts as a "play"? A song appearing as a standalone setlist entry — full performance, debut, or cover. Songs only teased or quoted briefly are stored as tags on their host song and weighted at half credit.

Tiers are percentile buckets across all 553 songs with at least one documented play. Songs with zero plays and no album association are hidden from the app entirely.

Scores update whenever new shows are added. A song's tier can shift over time as Pearl Jam's setlist habits evolve across tours.

Meet the Mascot

Red: The
Grunge
Mosquito

Red isn't just a logo — he's the spirit of every fan who's waited in line, hung from a stage truss to get a better view, and still knows every lyric to songs Pearl Jam hasn't played in a decade.

Clad in a red/black plaid flannel with a Pearl Jam Ten patch, over-ear headphones locked on, and worn-in black boots — Red lives for the live show. Whether chilling in his Eames chair deep in a bootleg or dangling from the stage truss mid-set, he's always where the music is.

ShirtRed/black plaid flannel — PJ Ten patch
WingsLarge mosquito wings, folded at rest
FootwearBlack boots (bipedal form)
Signature MoveHanging from metal stage truss
VibeDeep listening, music-induced bliss
