Nice work. It would be interesting to cross reference this with side projects, documenting pauses per individual member. Studio time may also be noteworthy to see. I'd also look into filtering out stand-alone shows, e.g. 4/26/96 & 6/6/96, consolidating for tours. To me, the effects of the pause between 12/31/95 and 7/2/96 were among the most influential in the band's history: stepping back after an extraordinary NYE peak, establishing democracy, and setting up The Funk. I'd also posit that 12/31/98-6/30/99 was the most ominous pause. And the fact that 12/31/11-06/07/12 produced little to no new material, recorded or otherwise, might make it one of the most maddening pauses.
