Were the Grateful Dead more apt to perform Terrapin on Tuesday evenings, thereby validating the Terrapin Tuesday moniker?
A vitally important question I would like the answer to.

Similar sitch for me, I think.
Not sure when I first heard Weir sing it. But Jerry was Beacon '83-ish. Maybe GD was '84 Meadowlands?
Maybe I'll see if setlists.com is still a thing.

Hmmm. Computer says, "Nuh" on '84. Looks like '88, but that feels late.

And it looks like Jerry played it as early as February 1980, at least.

'member when every day was Lost Sailor >Saint of Circumstance day?
Outta the 145 Lost Sailors, 112 of them were played in the first 3 years.
So if you went to shows in the early 80s, you were gonna hear it.
Again and again and again. Lost Sailor got dropped in 86. Saint survived.

That's a good start. So it seems 13% of all Terrapins appeared on a Tuesday.
The second step is to weight the number of shows that occurred on the other days of the week and compare that to the % of Terrapin performances. I think.
