every show × every show · brighter = more shared sampled records
Each cell = two nights by shared records (Jaccard). Clustered so similar nights form bright blocks; strips colour by year. Click a cell for the shared records.

Nights that rhyme cluster into bright blocks, and those clusters only loosely track the calendar: kindred nights turn up years apart.

ReadingCell = two shows’ Jaccard overlap of sampled records (brighter = more alike, on the perceptually-uniform cividis ramp). Two nights never share most of their records, so the ramp is fitted to the 98th percentile of the real overlaps rather than to Jaccard’s unreachable 100%, which is why the top stop reads “≥”. Without that fit, 63% of the ramp went unused and the blocks were invisible. Rows seriated so similar nights sit adjacent; edge strips colour by year. Click a cell for the shared records.
