MySetlists vs Concert Archives
Last updated: October 2026
Concert Archives has been around since 2013 and is one of the best-known concert diaries on the web. MySetlists is newer and built specifically for jam band fans, who care about what was played as much as who played. Here's how they compare.

Where Concert Archives is stronger
- Breadth and history. Over a decade of community-added concerts across every genre.
- Photos and videos. A much bigger library of fan photos and videos, built up over more than a decade.
- Android. MySetlists is web and iPhone only for now.
- Imports. Built-in importers for setlist.fm and Songkick histories.
Where MySetlists is stronger
- Song-level depth. Rate the “Tweezer” or “Arcadia” you heard, not just the show.
- Gaps for your own history. See how many of your shows by a band it's been since you last caught a song.
- Jam-band data. Phish setlists come from phish.net and Goose setlists from elgoose.net, the archives those fans trust, with segues and jam charts.
- Going with friends. Tag the people you went with; they get an email and can add the show to their own history in one tap.
Which should you use?
If you go to shows across every genre and want a big community, Concert Archives is a great fit. If you follow jam bands and care which songs you've caught, MySetlists is built for you. You can use both.
Free on the web and iPhone.
