Hello everyone. There's a new version of Repeatr-app online, including a search page where you can specify a list of songs and it will return the list of shows containing all of those songs - with hyperlinks to the corresponding pages of the Fugazi Live Series site. If you are too demanding there might be no shows with all the desired songs. The documentation has also been updated. Hope you find some good shows to listen to!

This is a good one, sounds clear and balanced with some interesting and unusual renditions, for instance Recap Modotti and Version. There are a few curious false starts, where the music seems to change direction unexpectedly at the beginning. It sounds to me like they might have been using musical signals to communicate / decide the next song, like a dialogue, with it sometimes being a shared decision what to play. An initial note or rhythm would limit the options and subsequent responses would narrow it down to a single song. For instance, high-pitched sustained note on guitar = "Repeater?" Bass-line response = "Waiting Room."
Fugazi played 39 shows in 63 days on the 1988 Fall European Tour, between 14 October and 16 December. If you watch the video, you will notice that there is a pause of about a week in London before the final show of the tour in Eindhoven. That will have been when they recorded the Margin Walker EP. If you feel like listening to a show from this tour, this is a fun one:

The Fugazi 1988 Spring USA Tour, from 1988-04-15 to 1988-06-05, consisted of 24 shows in 51 days, with a total attendance of about 3095 people. This was the band's first major tour. It was after this tour that the Fugazi EP was recorded.
The animation timescale is 1:86400 (1 second represents 1 day). The map shows a rolling week of data, where the date shown on the timeline is the first day of the week. A few bits may be hard to follow due to extended periods without shows which cause the animation to jump abruptly from one place to another.

Fugazi, Salle des Fêtes, Kingersheim, France 6/10/1995 (FLS #0685)
This one was brought to my attention by @alexmitrani who earmarked it as a personal favorite. Having listened to the recording repeatedly for the last couple of days, I certainly found plenty of strongpoints to enjoy.
The tape documents a one-off performance in Kingersheim, a small commune in northeastern France. It was the last out of ten shows Fugazi played on French soil in 1995 (it appears Ian MacKaye was unusually mistaken when expressing his praise and gratitude for the country during the show, mentioning a total of 12 gigs in France in 1995).Â
Fugazi performed no less than 28 songs on this particular night. And considering the running time of the recording clocks in at around 1 h 44 mins, this will surely be one of the longer shows the band ever played.
The opening of the set is a scorcher and the band comes out swinging, going balls out. The performance is pretty much on point and ardent throughout, yet particular highlights in my book include the wild Turnover breakdown, Joe’s bass driving songs such as Bed For The Scraping, Long Division and Long Distance Runner, and a phenomenal encore 2.
The set list includes a high dosage of Red Medicine tracks (10) and most of their earlier work is thrown in the mix in equal measure: In on the Kill Taker (4), Steady Diet of Nothing (4), Repeater (5), 7 Songs debut EP (4) and the 3 Songs seven-inch (1). The Margin Walker EP is the apparent absentee here.Â
Note that this show features the only (!) live version of Greed in 1995, and includes rare 1995 sightings of Break-In, KYEO and Glueman as well (here even with Combination Lock - which actually appears to be encore 3 by itself - to close out the performance).
Banter is scarce yet portrays the band in an upbeat mood, not considering the occasional rebuke drawn by the local lighting tech. Note that Guy addresses the patrons in French most of the time, reminiscent of, entre autres, the phenomenal Fugazi show in Bordeaux 1992.
The only thing that takes my enjoyment of this recording and show down a notch is that the audio, particularly of the instrumentation, is stretched a bit thin and trebly, hinting at the audience source of the recording.
Video footage of this concert is available, and can be accessed through the following archival link: https://archive.org/details/fugazi1995-06-10Â
Much obliged @alexmitrani.

I made an interactive graph of cumulative-over-time song performance counts from the Fugazi live series data.
It allows filtering by release and/or choosing a selection of songs to plot. It also allows focussing on a specific time range.
Here is the link to the interactive graph:
There is a short article with some comments and details of how it was done here:
Repeatr
I hope you find it interesting.
Listening to the Fugazi Live Series, I got increasingly curious about the venues that were played at repeatedly and spent a bit of time looking into it.
Fugazi played at 733 venues but played at 79.4% of them only once, twice at 12.7% of venues, 3 shows at 3.4% of venues, and 4 shows at 2.3% of venues. Only 2.2% of venues had 5 or more shows.
Repeatr
The top 10 venues are all in the USA, with the top two both in Washington DC - Fort Reno and the 9:30 club are the only 2 venues with more than 10 shows. In the case of Fort Reno, Fugazi played there 12 times between 1988 and 2002, only missing 3 years (1990, 1992 and 1995).
Overseas, the venues with most Fugazi shows were Forte Prenestino in Italy and Paradiso in the Netherlands both with 5 shows. There were 9 other overseas venues with 4 shows. Proud to see that the number 1 Fugazi venue in the UK was the Newcastle Riverside, in my home town, which was where I saw them play in 1990!
There is a browsable table of the venues in the Fugazi Live Series here:
Just came across this nice interview with the singer of Refused:
The hardcore frontman talks about this classic record's influence.
The Fugazi concert he refers to is probably this one:
The duration of the trip to Gavle from the Refused home town of Umeå fits the description and that was the only Swedish Fugazi show in 1992 🤓

This was an enjoyable read.

This one deserves repeated listens. Great rendition of Glueman, which includes what sounds like a snippet of something else, played on guitar at 10:48 - 11:04. It sounds familiar but I have been unable to identify it. If anyone knows what it is, please tell.
Today 3 September is the 35th anniversary of the first gig Fugazi played at the Wilson Center. This show is number one in the Fugazi Live Series and was possibly their first live performance. A good a place to start as any!

I launched a simple web app that allows people to interact with some of the Fugazi Live Series data from the Repeatr package.
At the moment it has 5 tabs:
- Songs
- Transitions
- Tours
- Shows
- Raw data
On each page there are one or more options for filtering the data, and the data can also be sorted or searched.
The web app can be found here.
Hello, my name is Alex. I'm from the UK but have been living in Santiago, Chile since 2004. I have a master's degree in transport planning & engineering. I work mostly on demand studies for transport projects. I program things in Stata and R. I'm a cyclist. My hobbies are playing Go, #juggling, photography, and learning languages. I enjoy listening to music, especially live music, reading, and watching films. I'm a Fugazi fan, and I'm making my way through the Fugazi Live Series in chronological order. I speak Spanish. I know a bit of French, Portuguese, and German (in descending order). I'm learning Ukrainian and Japanese. I try to use specific social media accounts for specific things, although they all tend to overlap a bit. This is my Fugazi account. Other accounts include:
