Live Setlist
Songs Played as an Opener, a Show Closer, and in the Encore at a Full Band Show
These are the songs that have been played in all of the main show slots at full band shows.

Note that songs need to be partial to count (see Blue Water), but also that the majority of this list contains songs that originated in the era before setlists were regularly tracked. Some of these full band slot debut dates might be correct - such as Halloween's eponymous debut, but most will never be confirmed or disproven. However considering we have zero complete and confirmed sets from Eastern Standard, it's unlikely many of those are actually firsts.

The songs on the list themselves are still valid and the dates should be considered "first documented." If anything, older songs just missing one slot like Satellite (missing closer) would probably also make this list if we had every set they ever played.

Some of these songs (and others not making this list) have also been played as set 1 closers or set 2 openers without having been played as show openers or closers.
