Wordle but for Bob Dylan setlists.

Setlists instead of words, songs instead of letters.

Should I make this prototype into a real game? Thinking it might be too hard, even if give the year as a clue?

That famous Folk Festival duet with Joan Baez? It's been written about for decades, and even reenacted in a biopic. But did it really happen?

There’s no link in your post but I did find the piece. Fascinating on how tricky historical facts can be.

Bob Dylan played 2,475 concerts between 1988 and 2013. In those 2,475 concerts, he only repeated a setlist 8 times!

What were those 8 times? And what were the setlists so damn good he just had to play them again?
In the First 25 Years of the Never Ending Tour, Bob Dylan Played Over 2,000 Shows—and Only Repeated a Setlist Eight Times

Have you ever wondered... whether there's a song Bob Dylan has performed over his career at least once every calendar day of the year?

Well... I did, which is why this now exists:
