I threw a wish in the well, don't ask me, I'll never tell
I looked to you as it fell and now you're in my way

I wasn't looking for this, but now you're in my way
Call me maybe

Woodstock Music Fair
One of the most successful live acts in popular music history, forging a popularity in concert far greater than their album sales, radio airplay, or music video presence would otherwise indicate. At the peak of their popularity in the mid- to late 1990s, consistently ranked as one of the highest-grossing concert tours in the world. One of the major factors of this band’s live success was the fact that every show in the band's history contained a completely different song set list. Throughout 30 years and over 1,700 shows, the band never played the same concert setlist twice. This approach to live performance influenced fans to attend multiple nights on a particular tour since they were guaranteed a completely different concert on a nightly basis
