Hot Take: Hate the trend of using setlist notes to indicate the original artist.

Imagine if the setlists on Phish.net were muddied with [1] Richard Strauss/Deodato [2] Talking Heads every time the band covered 2001 or Cities?

We've been taking them out on JamBase for setlists in our Goose coverage.

@heyscottyb Totally agree. Original artists for covers are the kind of thing that can easily be looked up. Setlist notes should be reserved for interesting / relevant notes for the version played *that night* like a tease, slow version, or guest musician.
@aburtch @heyscottyb How is one supposed to look up the original artist if they don’t know it’s a cover? I think noting original artist is a good thing. Yes, those who have followed a band for years and are familiar with common covers may know, but new listeners may get confused and think it’s an original without that knowledge.
