Bob Dylan finished his UK tour on Tuesday in Birmingham, which has prompted Uncut’s resident Bob statistician Nigel Williamson to pore over the set lists of the 16 shows played so far during the latest European leg of the Never Ending Tour.

“Basically,” Nigel writes in an email to me, “ there are five songs he plays every night, four he plays most nights and then 8-9 songs each night that might come from almost anywhere…he played two in Birmigham last night for the first time on the tour – ‘The Ballad Of Hollis Brown’ and ‘Workingman’s Blues No 2.”

According to Nigel, Dylan has played a total of 51 songs in the 16 shows to date, and lists them according to the number of times they have featured in performance, as follows:
