I am serious about the prize. Please include the t-Shirt size.

So during the concert you'll be making a list of all songs played, then after it ends quickly compare the actual setlist with all of our entries to assign scores, find a winner and check their size, all before rushing to the merchandise stand for the purchase...

Sounds like a lot of work, mate!
Please relax and enjoy the concert!

No I have tickets for Monday and Tuesday. I hope I will recognize all the songs, some might be even to obscure. I will enjoy on Monday and sort out the entries on Tuesday or let ChatGPT workout you did the best.

Yeah nah it's an easy effort. The setlist will be posted on setlist.fm after the first night.
Just compare the entries or even check this thread and I'm sure we'll be highlighting the winner(s).
No need to "rush" to the merch stand either, it's there for 5 nights.

By the way, should we make it 3 or 5 potential winners? Opposed to 1.
I imagine with a setlist of potentially 22+ songs there will likely be more than 1 forum user who successfully predicts 10 songs. I'm counting 36 entries so far.
