All you need to do is keep track of what songs were played in order and send it to us after the show (or the next morning). While we also appreciate knowing what songs are acoustic, solo or acapella – it’s not required. If you’re not sure of a song – just keep track of a few lines in the chorus and we will figure it out! (We understand there’s a lot of new music out there – and the possibilities for covers!)

Hanson have admitted regrets about turning down the chance to appear on Sesame Street out of frustration at being labelled a ‘kid band’
Oldest brother Isaac admitting he would go back in time and tell himself to go on the show if he could.
“I would go back to myself and say: ‘Do Sesame Street, you bozo,'” he says.
The band, who burst on to the scene as teenagers 25 years ago this week with the song ‘Mmmbop’, spoke to Kate Thornton on White Wine Question Time as they prepare to embark on their longest consecutive tour yet.
The brothers Isaac, Taylor and Zac, spoke to Thornton about what it was like having such huge sudden success so young, with Taylor calling the TV show which stars the like of Big Bird, Kermit the Frog and Elmo ‘legendary’.
Isaac explained: “We were so frustrated with being pigeonholed as being this ‘kid band’, that we looked at each other and went: ‘I’d love to do that, I wish we could do that. But I don’t feel comfortable doing it.”

The singer and guitarist, 41, said it was an example “of both the trauma and maybe [being] a little too self preoccupied, and a little bit too in the moment or something.”
He said anyone who knew him knows he is still ‘obsessed’ with Kermit the Frog and he had an Elmo puppet that his wife had made for him.
The brothers are originally from Tulsa, Oklahoma where they said they grew up listening to Motown records and didn’t feel like they really matched with anything going on there.
At the ages of 11, 14 and 16 they found themselves with number one records in 27 countries simultaneously, and a level of fame Taylor said it was ‘impossible to articulate’.
He remembered flying to Australia for the first time for what was supposed to be an in store acoustic performance, and ‘looking out at 30,000 people stacked in a parking lot’.
Remembering also having to fly into some places by helicopter because they couldn’t physically get to the spaces otherwise, he said he didn’t want to hold on to those ‘extreme experiences’ for too long ‘because your body overloads’ with the adrenaline and the ‘sheer power’ of it all.
He added: “I was trying to make sense of it myself. And I realised it’s true, is you can be destroyed by the trauma of that kind of success.
“But you can also use it as a tool to understand what’s possible. I think I’m kind of a dangerous person to be around because we’ve seen the impossible happen.”
They will tour their new album Red, Blue, Green over more than 90 shows in 20 different countries.
In an mmmbop, she could have been gone.
Isaac Hanson, 41, insisted there “was a connection” between him and his now-wife, Nicole Dufresne, when she was in the crowd of a 2003 performance by his band, Hanson. The two met only because he asked a stage manager to keep her back after the show so he could introduce himself.
Isaac said he “sang the entirety of the show” to her and threw guitar picks in her direction — all of which probably “freaked her out,” he admitted.
On the heels of the 25th anniversary of Hanson’s debut single, “MMMBop,” the band of brothers is once again making the rounds as they promote an upcoming world tour tied to the release of their 11th studio album, “Red Green Blue.”
Isaac, Taylor and Zac recently spoke to Yahoo! UK podcast host Kate Thornton, of “White Wine Question Time,” which aired Thursday.
In a cheeky segment, the group used the metaphorical meaning of their first hit song — an allegory for carpe diem — to reference times when they’ve “seized the day” in the past.
The interview took a slightly awkward turn when she probed the brothers about their wives.
“Isaac, the story of how you met your wife, it really chimed with me. You saw her — have I got this right? — in the crowd at a gig and you knew there was a connection, there was something,” Thornton asked the band’s eldest member.
“You went to the stage manager and said, ‘You have to stop her leaving,’ and that was the beginning of what has become a very happy marriage and beautiful family,” she continued.
“As moments go, it’s courageous, it’s audacious and it’s frankly inspiring,” Thornton mocked, before goading the other siblings to spill.
Responded Isaac: “I think that one takes the cake for me as a whole. It was both the most persistent and brave moment in some ways … I had to try hard.”
Zac, 36, interjected with a clarification: “You know what people may not realize is that Isaac met his wife by telling the stage manager, ‘Hey, that girl — I got to meet that girl.’ ”
Said Thornton, “It sounds grubby, I’ll be honest. It doesn’t sound … I struggle to make it sound romantic.”
Turns out, all three of them married fans they met during shows — with middle brother Taylor and youngest Zac both finding love in 2002 during a Hanson performance at a Macy’s in Georgia.
“Let’s simplify it,” Taylor, 39, pleaded. “We met them on tour in Atlanta, and yes, Isaac technically met both of our wives first.”
Joked the host, “Honestly, I’m starting to smell some sort of Netflix series here.”
Attempting to unweave this tangled web of wives, they further explained that both Taylor and Zac had spotted their soon-to-be spouses as the two women were working as models. Isaac then recalled how he had urged the women to “say hello” to his two younger brothers.
Ruefully, he then confessed that Dufresne was likely “kind of freaked out” by his aggressive approach. “My wife is quite introverted, and I think she was a little thrown because I was so gung-ho — like, ‘Hey, we should hang out, we should do some stuff, I’m only here for so long.’”
Nevertheless, it worked. Isaac and she married in 2006, followed by Zac and Kathryn Tucker later that year. Meanwhile, Taylor had already married Natalie Anne Bryant in 2002. The three brothers and their wives share a bevy of 15 cousins between them.
