Disclaimer
Near everything here is based on Jon Naurin set lists.
Even if it is my aim for the future, I have not verified all of Naurin's set lists by comparing them with the tapes in my personal vault, but I know from experience that at least 90% of Naurin set lists are correct.
Tables, statistics and all information will be updated when new recordings surface or if I discover incorrect data in the Naurin set lists.
Warning: for some reason I've removed all punctuation (,?!) from song titles.
